The editor seems to be having a
pretty good time in Florida. il we are
70 believe the letters we get from him
and VIC hope that he will enjoy himself
fully. After two weeks Of hard work
on the Register the Junior Editor has
come to the conclusion that a month of
rest after eleven months of work is
not enough, and that the proper way TO
take vacation would be to edit the
Register one month and rest up the
next. We hope that our readers will
not criticize us 10 severely for our
DOOR attempt at getting out the paper.
