If the politics of the world
should deem it advisable for
a Chief of State and his wife
to visit Washington at this
moment they might do so with
out the benefit of an official
hostess to greet them.
Washington is hardly ever
in this deplorable state. The
town that has wined and dined
kings. queens, princes and
presidents is in a most I'M
official condition and the gold
edged visitors might even feel
a little unwelcome.
With our legislative body
having finally decided to take
themselves home, the top citi-
zens. of the United States have
flown the coop and are con-
centrating on vacations.
The first couple of the land,
President and Mrs. Eisenhower,
have gone West to Denver while
the second couple, Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Nixon have
chosen the East Coast and are
in Maine.

Presidential succession would

fortunately they are busy
campaigning. This is an cleo

Next come the members of

summer when the President

there would not be too good.

least until the local heat is off
and Washington becomes Of

IT IS NOT RAINING RAIN TO ME
IT'S RAINING VIOLENCE
BY HAROLD SALISBURY

a vein to impreign every brain with the gain
Of its beauty and duty, the wonderful rain
Precpitates gently loudly falls
With the august authority of Niagara Falls
moistens the fields, the trees and the flowers
With downpours drenchngs coudbursts showers
And Natures progress it makes things grow free
-GJness it, of course floods the fields out to sea)
But couldn't flourish without the sweet rain
That spills DER the land, all mankind to sustain
The smashing, galoshing,- the gurgle-ing rain,
The flushing, the rushing the swirgle-ing rain,-
It drips and it drops to drzzle and drain,
The swooshing, the sooching- abysmal rain
a strain explain what's contained in the rain
1t deigns to consrain in the sane, disdain,
AS the swashy and sloshy seduction progresses
To dampen the ardor of hopes, pants and dresses
But it feeds the flowers and helps them endure,
And makes the walks clean as it swshes the streets
With many a puddle of mud for fees!
And probby will sink if it does it again.
The pattering, splattering chatterng rain,
The gushing, inrushing and out flushing rain
1t ptters and filters in watery strain
And saturates souls to a status insane!
