These are the days when the
editor of the average country news
paper would prefer to be Il mil
lionaire. Not that the millionaire
enjoys more of the luxuries of life,
but because he don't have to hustle
to find out something he don't
know for the benefit of his patrons
and get severely criticised if he
don't succeed. We are, however,
not of the common herd: oh no.
we'd rather be a newspaper mar

door till the editor opens. You
sink from exhaustion before he
does, but you will be adhering to
the Office etiquette and that is
bound to please the average editor

the formation of a new social
environment that will react upon

upon and lowers the moral tone OF
