[PW] 1969 Seattle Post Intelligencer - Anti-Rock Ad

According to various online histories of the War on Rock, in September
of 1969 the Roman Catholic Diocese of Seattle ran a two-page ad spread
in the Post Intelligencer calling for the criminal prosecution of rock
 musicians and for bans against "rock festivals and their
drug-sex-rock-squalor culture."

Is there anybody who can confirm the quote and the date (ideally, the
specific day in September) of the ad?  My guess would be that it would
most likely run on a Sunday (or maybe Saturday).
