According to Center of Public
Opinion" which recently sent out a
QUESTIONABLE on (Which country
would you most like to visit after
the war;" almost % per cent OF
the total vote went to the United
States. Many people want to go
because their sons spoke in such
glowing terms of the country in
which they trained for the Royal
Air Force. This applies to Canada,
too, by the way. Russia was Sec
ond' On the list.
Curiosity to visit Germany came
way after the desire to see other
countries of the British Common
wealth, such as Australia, New
Zealand and South America. So far
as Germany is concerned, they
first want to see the bomb damage
and second, to find out whether
the Germans are as ''barbaric' as
their deeds indicate.
According to this particular poll,
precisely 7 per cent of the people
are going to sightsee in their own
land after the war.

NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
1t was the night before New

Not even a mouse.

The son tried to make it to an
overstuifed chair,
But when he sat down, it Just
wasn't there

sadly her head.
Swiped from him his bottle and
vent back to bed.
(She didn't indulge often; but
when she did by the time she
took a bottle from her mouth all
that was left in it was airD
