Dear Bill Burrows:
l know that at least 200 people
nave called your attention to the
enclosed cartoon which reminded
ne so much of you that / couldn't
resist sending it. to you anyway.

drawn by Jimmy Hatlo showing a
barber rushing from his shop t.
hop on fire truck en- route to
fire, leaving a customer half
shorn.)
didn't see any Fire Depart
nent News in the latest copy of
The Sentinel which received to-
day. Did the Republicans knock
you out of print or haven't you
done anything worth printing
lately?
And speaking of the glorious
Republican victory, l am sure that
Herb Yocom has been echoing his
old battle cry of "Turn the ras-
Gals out" l was glad to see that
the Republicans not only swept
Montgomery County but also cap
tured Palm Beach in this Florida
Democratic stronghold. Il hope
this is from one good Republican
to another.)
Tomorrow morning l will finally
have to take a small bag of gold
down to my barber here and get
haircut. Believe it or not, it is
the first one since that special job
you gave me. It's wonderful to
think of all the money you saved
me.
Hope you are we'll and every
thing is going o. X. Give my best
regards to all the fellows and
keep the RIVED. in the Sentinel
so l know what is going on.
