Newspaper. Twenty-eight issues of the four-page newspaper, all with horizontal fold crease, toning and edgewear, several with more serious damage, noted below. Issues present are vol. 13 no. 28 (vertically creased as well), vol. 14 nos. 23, 36-42, 44-51 (numbers 50 and 51 quite crinkled); vol. 15 nos. 1, 2 (crinkled), 3, 4, vert…ically creased issues 5, 6, and 9; and numbers 12, 14, 21, and 25. The Parson was a fundamentalist preacher as well as an officer in the KKK. His newspaper is rife with criticism of the CIO's union organizing drive (including accusations that the CIO bombed the home of a Black worker who refused to join a strike). "Operation Dixie" comes under particular attack as a supposed maneuver for Black domination of the US. Also includes many articles about theology and both local and national church politics, with particular concern about alleged communist influence on churches, and Parson Jack's claims about the approaching End Times. There is concern about "race-mixing" (one article states that thousands of unwanted children of Black soldiers who had been stationed overseas are to be sent to the US because they could not find acceptance in England).
