LIKES EV TRUE

Editor The Star: want TO give
you my opinion OF The Star.
Almost five years ago I landed In
Seattle. The. Star was the first Se-
attic paper that read. Since then
I have been a constant reader.
Both my wife and | Ike The Star
in many ways. but II is funny she
doesn't like all the things that ] do
and I don't like all the things she
does. There you are.
She says THE Confessions OF a
Wife" are good; but ! can't see It
that way.
We both like the way Boalt
tears Il off. He's all right
She thinks Everett True is silly;
I don't. Those absentminded ones
need some one to give them hint.
He does fine.
We don't like the rest or the
comic pictures and think they are
rubbish. Throw them out and get
some good ones. Those might be
good enough for the children, but
the grown-ups want to laugh once
In a while.
The Star IA a poor paper for ship
ming news. This being a seaport
city, a good portion OF the popula-
ton 10 made up from those living
along the water front and on tho
ships.

When we move 10 other cities we
try to be loyal 10 our new home

sooner or later we send our money
to The Star. II 10 just like one OF
the family. simply indispensable.
and enjoyed by big and little alike.
As TO why we like It, we have
many reasons. The Star claims 10
be n non-partisan paper. but In al
ways the partisan OF tho under
dog.
II Is always ready with an apol-
ogy when mistaken. and with n
