Last Saturday a woman came
into the Press Office and wanted the
paper sent to a man she named
stopped. Asked where it was being
sent she replied that we had the
name on our list, and refused to give
the address. To our explanation that
it was a big job to search out the
name from a long list she replied
that she did not come here to be in

dress, and if she never learns it we
shall not be rprised.-Ellenville
