HEAVEN SWINGS
MEAN SENSE
OF HUMOR
Saints Like Their Joke
Says Dean of Men
In Sermon

NEW YORK. July rs. UP)-Get
the corners of your mouth up and
learn to swing it" If you want to
feel at home in heaven.
That's the advice of DR.. John b.
Delaunay, dean of men at the Uni
serity of Portland, (Ore), who yes
terady pictured heaven as "a merry,
not a dull, place" where angels
dance to music not unlike swing
jazz.
Father Delaunay, who is chair
man of the Oregon State Welfare
commission, said in a sermon at
the solemn high mass in st. Pat
rick's Cathedral that I'VE may safe
ly smile and laugh because our
Lord and his saints merrily die
laugh and smile"
He denounced as an unfoundec
slur the homily, ITO live with the
saints in heaven in glory: to live
with the saints on earth is another
story"
Christ, he said, had a keen senst
of humor and enjoyed a good joke
even if it we're on himself.

tober is according to word received

clude San Luis Obispo, Santa Bar

On the Eastern slope of the Sier-
ra Nevada mountains from the
Oregon line to the southern boun-
Diary of Inyo county, the bag limit

Malice Towards None

Malice Towards None
To Sank Centre
from Friend of
Sank Centre.
Dear Friends:
According to the Sank Centre
Herald some members Of the COM
munity are arranging a Sinclair
Lewis Day. in Sank Centre to
honor Sinclair Lewis-a native son.
Some folks are surely gluttons
for punishment.
A native SON vents his spleen by
ridiculing his home town. He
grossly distorts their foibles and
weaknesses-(common to us all,
everywhere). He maligns the COM
munity and environment. Now,
they will honor him.
The ignorant intelligentsia of the
world has accepted his Sank Cen
ire Calumny' as typical Of all Am
erican small towns. They do not
know its humanness, charity, and
big-heartedness. To them a small
town means small" NOW in the
full sense Of the word.
The neurotic leading lady of that
novel should have been isolated be-
fore her marriage. She was either
an utter snob, or partly not respon-
sible. The culture she attempted to
introduce was just as foolishly in
adaptable as her own characterize
ton. If her ideas were adopted we
would be hungry and dirty-but-
we would have Sinclair culture"
Even in the biggest city there are
only about one-tenth of one per
cent able to enjoy the real cultur.
al advantages available. Then why
look for them in American small
towns?
Despite the Nobel Prize his
writings are more like caricatures
than real life. He is no cartoonist.
he lacks humor.
If Sinclair Lewis would return
to his home town and admit a GER
tain repentance for this pilloring of
his hometown folks, we would all
be there to meet him with a real
glad hand. Is it possible?
Sincerely,
Henry Reflex,
West Union, MINI.
