Memo to the Boss:
NOTHING MUCH happened in
Wyandotte while you were gone
except people were surprised that
you weren't here. They'd call up
and when told that you were out
OF town. would sort of smoker and
say "Oh. 1 didn't know he'd done
anything lately"-and we'd say Just
a vacation smoker again on the
other end of the wire "Oh, does he
work enough to get a vacation2'
KINSEL'S TRIED OUT DOT and
from the spectators point OF view
II rSally did make those darn flies
do disappearing act. They tell me
that at the Merchants Blowout
there weren't any OF those Gn)-
famous Crosse lie mosquitoes or
flies either. Just old Dichloro Di-
phenyl Trichloroethane at work
again.
VICTOR REUTHER'S brother.
Walter, of the CIO came to town
the other day to address the Rota-
rian assemblage and drew a packed
house with overflow. And 1 heard
that the organization was quite i'm
pressed by what he had to say.
Maybe folks in town are more ready
TO listen to the other fellow than
thought. In fact, this summer I've
found that there are a lot of peo-
pie IN town that are really assets
and yet no one hears about them
there are also a lot of people that
one hears about that aren't quite
all they're cracked up to be. Live
and learn.
THE GENDARMES (copS) are
nice people too, even if some Of
them grow water lilies and stuff
like that. And that brings to mind
another thing. The police station
is a most educational institution.
You can really find out what goes
on in this town after dark limo
cent mel really believed that when
they took in the sidewalks for the
night, that all became quiet and
peaceful. But not so. It's also
rather amazing to note the num-
Der Of juveniles that become en-
meShed In the tolls of the law. On
the surface it looks as if We had an
enormous problem to deal with. But
while any juvenile delinquency is
problem. the main problem here
seems to be parental delinquency
which directly or indirectly causes
much of the So-called juvenile
delinquency.
5PEAKING OF ALL that I've
learned about the town this sum-
mer, perhaps / should mention also
the meeting of that august body. the
city council. Although the meetings
are not very interesting, they are
interesting in one respect. They're
so efficIent-efficient being another
word for cut-and-dried And then
the recesSeS-they're so long. An
other thought-anyone campaigning
for the office of city clerk might
make a point Of a good speaking
voice, for he seems TO do most Of
the talking. City politics may seem
rather small potatoes, but we're
gong to become registered voter
the kind of city government We
have can make the difference be-
tween a well-planned and pleasant
city and the kind that just mush-
rooms. Oh yeS-won't I be glad,
if ever I go to council meetings in
the future-if some bright soul in
vents new and pleasant odor for
the cigars to which so many of the
city fathers are addicted.
ASIDE FROM ALL that I've
learned about this fair city, this
summer has really been something
the like of which we'll never see
again. BY a year from now maybe
all the Servicemen'S News we'll have
is about the members of the old
S9th, or something. having re-
union. Can't you just picture some
of the tall tales that were going
TO hear. Did you hear about the
local medic that flew from France
to England on a 48 hour pass? II
seems that he made the trip over
okay, but was grounded by fog IN
England (that much sounds reason
able)-so he finally got back to his
base something like u hours late
and they were so glad to see him
that no one said anything about his
slight lateness. OF course, that story
also involves a jeep borrowed" fol
a so mile journey-which was real
" about 200 miles. BY the time you
hear this from its source it'll prob
ably be about twice as tall.
ABOUT THAT swimming poo
you're out to get us. Even though
this isn't the hottest summer on
record, there have been times when
ii would have been most welcome
Som local wag says that it's just
the right committee for you because
he saws You're all wet anyway
And someone else wants to make
YOU honorary lifeguard.
SEE YOU at coffee time-if you'll
pick up the check.
