Dear Friends:
Yesterday being Armistice Day.
reminded me of that holiday last
year when we were stationed at
Tampa, Fla. MacDill, as we'll as
other Air Force bases, l suppose,
had the day off,
Hayes, Lynne, Dawn and I had
planned to get off for the beach
after we had eaten our breakfast.
We were sitting at the breakfast
table, about 8 a. m. when I noticed
one of the girls in my bridge club
coming across the back yard and
she was dressed in her hOusecOat.
told Hayes to look and said Paula
Nelson must have lost Nicky, her
daughter, or she never would be
seen outside in the outfit she had
on. Pretty soon she came to my
door and before any of us could
answer her knock, she came in,
grabbed me by the collar and an
nOunced that Lou Simpson was
having a going away coffee for an
other bridge clubber," Betty Ko-
min, in the form of a come as you
are party" She had certainly tim
ed it we'll! My mother told me I'd
get caught some day dressed like
/ was that morning for breakfast
got dressed that A. NJ. to the ex-
tent of a slip plus a blue seer
sucker hOusecOat which had a rip
in it on one side from waist to arm
hole. If any of you own cotton
scuffs, you'll undoubtedly know the
condition mine were in, without
any further description. 1 HAD
brushed my hair, but lacked lip-
stick All in all l was a mess and
in NO condition to be Exhibit A.
in the back yard and at a COFFEE,
no less.
Leaving Hayes with the girls off
we went dragging our hOusecOat
tails behind us. I was shocked be-
yOnd words, and for me that's
pretty we'll gone, when Paula an
nOunced she had to pick up Louise
Geer. Louise Geer happened to be
the wife of Hayes C. o. Command
ing OficeT). Oh! we all looked
like something the cat dragged in,
but just the same l didn't want

like something after a wreck. Pau

us accompanied her, sights that We

publican economy . iE government

wave or a ripple, Uncle Sans help
ers are mentally lighting out for

NO MANS LAND
AS a rank amateur at crystal
gazing, we predict that the ma
tiOn's three foremost pOllsters, Dr.
George Gallup, Archibald CrOssley
and Elmo Roper are going to swear
off politics. After months of inter
viewing and projecting and plain
and fancy slide-rule work with
percentage points and margins of
error, we still had to rely on the
same old election returns to learn
who won the Presidency.
Gallup, handicapped psycholOgi-
cally by his 194S prediction of a
Dewey victory lin which he had
plenty of company this time pre-
diCted "a tight race CrOssley said
the contest could go either way"
and Roper declined to predict any
thing.
We are not disparaging these
gentlemen. In what we consider
their proper field of surveying mar
kets, testing advertising appeals,
projecting sales quotas, etc, they
are phenOmenally accurate. But we
hope they are now convinced that
man (and wOman) reaches the pin
nacle of unpredictability when iso-
lated in a voting booth.
We just don't select presidents
and pancake flour by the same set
of mental processes thank
( Heaven.
VALLEY FORGE OF 1852
/ I'VE are delighted and the entire
nation is thrilled" is the reaction
of President Singhman Rhee, of
South Korea, to the news of the
impending Eisenhower visit to his
country In his radio message to
General Ike, he continued. please
include Mrs. Eisenhower. Her
presence will be a great honor
and encouragement to our suffer-
ing people and the UN forces fight
ing in the front line"
No messages are needed to give
us an idea of how those hOme-sick,
battle-weary CTS feel about it,
what their discouraged and bewil-
dered officers think about it, or the
lift it gave the folks back Eome
when Ike said he'd go.
All of them are entitled to a
renewal of their faith in their
country.

This recalls that it was Presi-
dent Truman who broke the long
established tradition by appointing
a lifelong postal worker, Jesse
Donaldson to the job. And while
this was probably one of the most
widely and enthusiastically approx
ed acts of his seven years in the
White House, the groans of dis
illusiOnment became even louder
as the Post Office Department be-
gan curtailing service and increas~
ing rates simultaneously.
Since politics is an avOcatiOn
with National Committee Chairman
Arthur E. Summerfield, and his
real job is that of a very success
full automobile salesman and bust
ness administrator. he might be
just the man. In its present plight,
having lost both the goodwill of
the public and the morale of it's
workers, and still losing money in
its operations, the Department is
in sad need of a master salesman,
to buck up the workers within and
restore public confidence without.
Once upon a time, when our ma

permission of Mr. Lair, we give you
herewith the opening verses of

lists. Thus. while it was not nec-

from the old familiar scenes,
And then it's just us welcome Hs

We read it through from front to

And when we see the names in

made in type-setting and printing
