| OFF the CUFF
By RALPH L. SNYDER

MYTH Ray Sperber, the original
jotter in this column off on
a vacation before entering Ohio
State university, the readers of
this column are in for a little dis
appointment this week in that RLS,
who carried on during the war
years, is again trying to get his
typewriter fingers unknotted. Our
only claim to columnist distinction
is that we originated the name un-
der which Sperber's column has ap-
peared these many years. But
having been off the white-collar
run for long time, we're going to
have to borrow somebody's cuff
upon which to keep some jottings.
And so we ask all of you to keep
us in mind when you hear some
thing to be jotted.
