The
Rambler
Thinks He's
Lost Barefoot Boy
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

When the Rambler finally
emerged from his Snowbound
quarters last week and got
to the office, ice was melting
in the streets and there was
a general feeling that the
January thaw had arrived
late in February.
He found in an accumula-
ton of mail a letter from
Mrs. Alice M. Stephenson of
StephanSon'S Butter Crust
Pies. She wrote:
Il was born and raised in
central Pennsylvania and
back in 19l4-l6 l walked two
miles each way to and from
high school. We did not know
anything about school buses
in those days. Many times
we waded in snow far above
our knees to get to school,
we always managed to get
there even if we had to de-
tour through the fields to
avoid the drifts in the roads.
I'VE did not have a school
holiday after every storm. If
we had, the schools would
have been closed most of the
winter.
Nov my question is this:
Was this storm more severe
and something to go down in
history or are we cream
puffs?"
Mrs. Stephenson does not
think much of cream puffs.
She does not include them in
the list of StephanSon's pies
and pastries.
No, Mrs. Stephenson, we
are not cream puffs.

AS for specific needs he
suggested that the city would
be better off with:
A new administration build

A city college.
A consolidated vocational high
school.
Better salaries for teachers.
More supervisory positions.
AS for indignation, DR.. Corn

good results because of the
splendid cooperation and eff
fective work of teachers and

On the financial level, DR..

He is obviously irritated, and

He makes a plea for "stren-
