Nothing personal perhaps, but
he would be better pleased to

Those who must think and

need thought as a background
for their daily work, must
snatch the time to think, and
the run back and forth is a real

Says Ann Tenna
Is Grounded

Editor, Times:
Ann Tenna is grounded!
The fact that Amos and Andy
did not step aside for the COM
pletion of the Derby radio broad
cast should not make Ann
Tenna so hot and bothered II
the other stations carried the
race, as stated. In fact, if all
the stations had stuck to the
Derby, then there would be
cause for a kick, and a big one.
Not hundreds listen nightly TO
Amos and Andy, as Ann Tenna
claims, but millions. And these
millions must be all out OF STEP
except Ann Tenna, who calls
the broadcast Of Amos and
Andy "drivel." We need this
sort of "drivel" as a relief from
our occasional contact with Ann
Tennas.
And that crack about the
typical intelligence of the Navy
in referring to Mr.. Tiller, leads
me to offer a small bet that the
Navy will still be with us Tor
generations after Ann Tenna> is
gone and forgotten.

Well, Mothers Day has come
and gone. And I said it with
flowers"-and a truly apprecia-
tive heart. My mother is a fine
woman. I love and admire her
as a woman. But I do not ad-
mire her merely because she is
a mother. Nor do I think that
any woman is entitled to re-
spect and rewards simply be-
cause she has given birth.
Indeed, much Of our enthusi-
aAn oyer mothers is dangerous
bunkum. I have never been
able to see why ladies should
have a day dedicated to them
merely because they have re-
produced their species. They
didn't invent the process nor
have they copyrighted it. Why
should a female human, having
had a baby at twenty, think
she's entitled to sit around and
wear wreaths for the rest OF her
days?
"You have only one mother"
runs the solemn exhortation.
And, all to frequently, that is
quite enough. Sentimental ira
dition to the contrary, many cit
izens would have been much

had been born in incubators.

slogan. Oh, blah! 1t is the

ennobles motherhood If it is
