I'll ALTO w E. ZEN
By Edgar A. Guest

Who says that Age is dull and drear,
Must lonely be and somewhat queer
l say that Age returns once more
The long lost joys of years before
An gives us back, at little cost,
The splendors which we thought were lost
For instance, with long years between,
Again to us comes Halloween.
Time was, with both our youngsters grown,
We thought such fun forever flown,
So long it seemed since COLLINS small
On us had dared to come to call
I'm sure we had forgotten quite
There ever had been such night
Full more than twenty years have been
Since we have thought of Halloween
But I've been told two COLLINS small
Tonight on us will pay call
And when greet them at the door
They'll try to brighten me once more
And I'll pretend to be afraid
And call their grandma out to aid;
Thus both of u.s. by that gay scene,
Will be restored to Halloween.

Following is letter sent to
Governor Pyle by local CIO Off
cials seeking his position on civil
rights legislation for minority
groups in Arizona.
Honorable Howard Pyle,
Dear Governor:
I am writing on behalf of our
organization to ascertain your posi-
ton with respect to State equal
opportunity legislation.
CIO members in this State can
not understand the double-talk of
the Republican administration.
President Eisenhower campaigned
throughout the states that fair en-
ployment or equal opportunity for
all citizens was state issue <and
not a federal one. Here in Arizona,
the Republican Party, under your
leadership, has completely repudi-
ated the position of President Eli
senhower. The blocking of House
Bill 90 by Mr.. Wallace is nothing
more than a double-crosS of your
own party campaign. How can
citizens of racial descent other
than white have any confidence in
what a political party claims to
stand for ? Et has been the conten-
ton of our membership that Ari-
zona is a western state not a south
ern one.

Hardiman, according to his en-

been with the company for over
six years, and is rated among. the

: SHE WAS A BAD
FISH," SAYS
5-YEAR-OLD LINDA
RY DOROTHY RAYMER

Sharks, as well as gentlemen,
prefer blondes. At least that is the
opinion of onlookers who saw
blonde, blue-eyed Linda Hatcher,
five years old, bitten by small
shark on Sunday afternoon in shall
low water at Little Torch Key.
There were four children play
ing in the group, but the 20 inch
shark singled out blonde Linda for
his special morsel. She shows the
double half circle mark Of the
sharks teeth on the calf of one
chubby leg but is none the worse
for the adventure. She posed read
lily for a picture with the vicious
baby shark caught after the attack
and allowed Anthony Ulchar, who
hooked it, to open the jaws and
show how the imprint had been
made.
Little Linda, a sturdy child with
long golden braids wound about her
head, said simply, HE was a bad
fish.
Linda, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Hatcher, lives in a cot

Linda and three small companions,

water up the beach to the cottages.
She didn't scream at the time Of
the attack.
At the cottage she calmly an
nounced to grownups, "A fish hit

outing.party said, Lets 60 back
down and look in the water"
BY that time, Anthony Ulchar,
who was fishing nearby on the
beach, tossed out q line with null
let as bait. The shark, a grayback-

thinks Is sand shark, was darling
around In the area where blood had

A figure of hatred Is a mighty
morale factor in a war, and that
was lacking in Korea. What the
United Nations was fightin &
against there was not a man but
system-a system of aggression,

we're futile. So do many Of their

me is, not that no final victory

Truce In Korea May Be Only

NEW YORK IA truce Is NOT

But, since time sometimes cures
more human ills than common

purpose for all parties. II allows
an interval in which the situation
may change.
That may be the great gift of a
truce In Korea. A ripening OF po.
litical reasoning in Asia may do
more to achieve q balanced peace
than continuance of the three-year
war on that bitter peninsula, war
In which vast armies have buffeted
each other like blind men In The
