Not long ago the Old Cynic got round to

and cook stove and had some money in
the barShe said .she would think it

not marry you, you are only seventy

In c. recent Gwitoriai in one of our leading nows papers we
notice this statement regarding the‘letters that are being written
to various people in Washington dnd to news pr.jpors, sotting out the
writer*s reasons for opposing statehood at this time*
"The results of this letter -writing campaign .are gratifying* The
letters are making no giore splash than that of a feather wr.fted
into a lake from the tail *f a high-flying dove*” •
Then follows a garbled tirade against these letter, writers
who _havo jUst been dismissed as so inconsequential* Quito a
splash for that "tail feather”*
The same editorial presumed to quote a majority of Alaskans
by saying, ”All Alaskans aro not In' fVvor of* statehood* 7/e think
that statement is too sweeping and we believe mos£ Air skans would
qualify the statement a bit and say "Nearly a 1*1 Alaskans are not
in favor of Statehood”'* But then probably most Alaskans would say
simply, ”Not all **laskans are in favor of Statehood*” Really there
. must bo quite a lot of Alaskans who are in favor of statehood now,
tho they are ge ting fower all the time*

’back to &heir mother and asked her to suggest what she thought
would be a suitable name for &heix: ranch*
.She replied saying that she thought focus would be a very
nice and appropriate name* »
The beys wrote back -saying they found tho name focus t^ be
very nice but they wondered why she thought it so very suitable*
She replied that focus moans ;Where the 3un*s rays meet*
Which story the rhetoricans call a spooneri parailoogram*
