DOCS LIFE. THIS WEEK Contrib
utor Frederick Hazlitt Brennan tells
US that the producers of his play The
Wookey" had some prima donna trou-
Bile. Winston, the dachshund pup who
won major role, developed tempera-
ment. Trained to work with one of the
actors, he went through his part per-
fectly. But when the actors understudy
tried to work with the pup. Winston
just wouldn't cooperate. Solution?
You're right: Winston got an under
study, too. Or should we say under
dog?
CODE. A friend of ours, receiving sew
eral letters from soldiers, has noticed
the legend "sMPRLH" hand printed on
the envelope backs. Baffled in every
attempt to solve the code, he finally
called the postal authorities.
"Oh, yes" they said, we've been
noticing that Seems it's new Army
fad. The official translation is: Soldiers
Mail Please Rush Like Hell.
AEALIST. Patsy Graziano is IL

sent US the result:
Mr.. Hallock is the principal of the
Junior High School. He is short and
chubby and has most of his hair gone
He walks with his little legs, but they
don't travel 50 fast. He has pretty little
round blue eyes. What he likes to do is
crack jokes People think that he is
very nice in some ways and very bad in
Others. He always wears a blue suit.
not all the same kind. When he comes
to assembly on Friday, all the teachers
fall for him. He is little handsome too.
He has ears that are the same as most
people have. His teeth. when he laughs,
shine like diamond. He is a very nice
gentleman after you get used to him."
WISDOM. One of the shortest, yet
one of the best, prayers we've ever seen
was offered by the Reverend ]. H.
