Well, Sir, who We goin' to vote fur?
/ suppose I should have said: For
whom are you going to vote?" But,
very frequently, colloquial forms OF
speech do not lend themselves very
willingly to correct grammatical US
age. so far as that is concerned, tho,
there are many authorities who claim
that it makes no difference what sort
of vehicle you use to carry your
thought from one person to another
Just so it gets there, 1t did not matter
for instance, whether Al Smith pro-
nounced it "raydiator" or radiator, /
everybody knew what he meant
That's the only thing language IS for
However, there is such thing as
pride. There are very few persons
who would be satisfied with jeep, |
ialopy, jackass, or junk-wagon, as
a means of transportation when they
could have a Rolls Royce, Cadillac,
Packard, or any other make of de luxe
pattern to carry them around. Yet
the cheaper sort would take them
there and bring them back. So, al
ter all. it's better to have linguistic
pride as we'll as other kinds.
But started out to ask you, about
next weeks election. Now, some peo-
ple might think the question that
heads this column is rather personal.
IF YOU want to know what think OF
it. I'm here to tell you / don't think
it's much of anything, because it will
he a wear and day before I'll get
an answer to it. If did get reply
it would be somebody like this: Its
none of your blankety-blank bust
ness" And that would be about right,
wouldn't it? So, go ahead and vote
for whom you please. l thought you
might not do this-thus my advice.
Well, Sir, needn't tell me Worcester
County residents haven't been living

Gods chosen people. All you got to
do is to look in the papers at the guys
in some other parts of the state, dig
pino themselves out of % inches OF
snow. and then look at the green peas
in YOUR front yard. True, old Jupiter
Pluvius gave US a little example OF
what he could do, last Sunday. But ne
rot over his tantrums that day-the
worst result these being that SO
MANY of us were kept from going to
church ON Palm Sunday. To some,
that's a great deprivation; to Others
not so much. In what class do you
belong? Come straight!
lust want to take this opportum-
ty to say to those guys up IN Prin-
cess Anne burg that we people down
here know when Easter comes; ano'
tn prove it, we've run another cut on
the front page of this issue of the
Pocomoke bladder to prove it. We were
not after changing the. date OF tins
church festival by carrying another
cut on our front page last week.
Last Christmas, we used our front
mage for a full sized cut of Santa
Claus, just little in advance OF his
heralded annual visit-did it because
we had holiday goods to advertise.
That good old sheet in the shire town
of Somerset pretended to be stood on
its head-turned topsy-turvy by our at
tempt to upset, in Rooseveltian way
the calendar year by recognizing
holiday season before it got here; or
else we were attempting to create an
extra holiday-celebrate two Christ
mas days. So, in order to prevent
them from being attacked by a head
ache, we are running another Easter
cut to keep from breaking in on the
even flow of the days, hours, and
minutes.
