A July 5 1968 letter from Mrs Bob Wyatt of Alpine Texas thanks the Alpine Avalanche editor for the June 13 1968 editorial We Are Not To Blame and urges media and government to curb violence and poverty while avoiding welfare state expansion.
A letter from Walter N. Harrison denounces Alpine Texas officials for a bounty program paying a city employee to trap dogs with a rope and turn them in for a $2 reward. He recounts a dog’s death, urges humane methods, and calls for action by the Humane Society and local government. The writer threatens legal challenge and asks citizens to oppose the practice.
CPL Charles W. Boreing writes from Vietnam praising The Alpine Avalanche as a morale read and asks for a copy on return home. The column also recalls Major Doyle Stout in Saigon, Sul Ross College sports changes, and a 11 year old Texas memory of Clifford White's death near Castelon in Big Bend National Park.
