 Another frOnt-paged open letter Iappeared in The Crewe (Va.) Chron. icle, to wit: walt Winchell, Prop and Editor, The Hicktown News Press, New York City. Dear Walt; I have Sneaking notion that youi Hickstown News-Press was poking fun at us smalltown weekly edi- tors. I'll bet there are more hic (k)s along Broadway than in all oul Nottoway County, and history is full of the accomplishments of small town boys, who went to the big city and made good, but gosh-darneo if I can recall of many city chaps coming to the small town and mak- ing good. May be they don't like COWS, mules, and are scared when darkness falls. Yes, Walt, you have lot of the celebs, Jack Dempsey Mae West, Jim Farley, John L Lewis, Joe Louis, Mayor LaGuardis and hosts of others, from whom you can churn news for your column day in and day out, not to mention some of thosc gangsters who are hobbing up causing trouble in your fair city.
 'If it wasn't for the celebs and the politicians, ye editor wonders what you would write about. Down home here our celebs are usually Harry Becker, Bunk Wilson, Bliss Strawser, Bingo Oliver, Charlie Ash more, Herman McCune, o. L. Jen- nings, all fine fellers who like to fish, hunt and swap stories. Down here, we do things little different than you do on Broadway. We live a full life from 6 a. m. until 10 p. m whereas you live just vice versa and by golly, miss the best part of day Then we have lots of things you don't find along Broadway-creeks woods, COWS, chickens, mules, good roads, bad roads and so forth. We get lot of fun out of earning our bread and butter, and if we are sick and cannot earn, friends usually chip in to tide us over until we're on our feet again. You can't beat that, can you, Walt?-'Jeff' Davis Prop. & Editor, The Crewe Chor- icle."
 "Dear Walter,' writes w. K. from the Hotel Sherman, Chicago, "Youl reprint of the 1884 burlesk on your own stuff was good nose-pulling But what interested me most about the thing was the high mortality rate among column personalities So many of them are dead, discred. tied, divorced, washed up, etc. wonder If, back in your files, yol haven't an example of a dead col. tmn--of people who no longer ratt a mention.

THE PRIVATE PAPERS OF 4
 rTIR RrpOnTER

CUB REPORTER
 Dear MT. WincheIl," writes Ru- flls F. Payne, publisher of The SAathmoor Press (Detroit, Mich) i, .'c.se writer has long been an in- terested reader of your column in The Detroit Times and feels he has the right to forward suggestion to you, which is: That you change the name of your occasional Hicktown News-Press to Hometown News Press or some other less antagoniz- ing name. Most people resent the designation of their home town no matter how small or out of the way as a hick town. Due to the radio, the movies and other features of modern life, including good roads and automobiles, there are not many really nick towns left, at least that is my observation in this section of our country"
 Mir. Payne is not alone in muff- ing the point of the name "The Hicktown News Press" That column concerns New Workers chiefly, and since so many residents west of it enjoy calling New York "the biggest nick town of them all'' we thought it an appropriate title.
 Then there is the open letter on the front page of The Herald Prog ress of Ashland, Va. Gin Hanover County, which follows:
 ''Mr. Walter Winchell, who has probably been as far into the Grass Roots Country as the Bronx, and IS about as natively rural as a Broad way lamp post, has been issuing his daily column in what he naively as- sumes is slnall-town weekly style lately, bothering his undersigned contemporary and erstwhile admir- CT no, end. MT. Winchell entities his column The Hickville Press and fills 1t with such quaint ruralisins as 'ye ed opines,' wal, I'll be gol- durned,' never did care hang mo- how 'all het' ilp,' and other phrases which are about as characteristic of modern rural America as celluloid collars and bandana handkerchiefs Lao Tse say: Broadway Confucius better stick to Broadway Lingo.'
 'Nlr. Winchell, who usually brides himself on being 24 hours ahead of the news, is. in this instance, about 40 years behind the times. The hone-spun and illiterate country editor who recorded the career of his subscriber from Baptistry to bier with folksy concern and in- formal grammar is in these days as out-dated as hickory shirts and bro- gans.
