By Mildred Kirkpairick
Isn't it wonderful to have to
hunt for a place in which to
keep cool? Last month wc were
all tired of the gloomy w.atlwr,
ready to quarrel at the drop o 1
a hat, jumping down one an
other’s throats—all because of
the gloomy weather.
Statistics all over the world
prove that June is the month
suicides, murder, fights, mar
riages, etc—so they tell me.
Probably because it is the change
from the last lingering thoughts
of winter, and impatience at
the delay of summer days. It's
over now. So we can settle
down to a long summer.
If it keeps up this way, Flori
da and California will have to
look to tlieir laurels because
A:aska will become the year
round resort country.
As J'or me—with the 4th of
July passed, I don't intend to
take on another problem all
sumrru r. Think I shall try to
catch a fish—in all the years
I've been here, all the fish have
avoided me—but t’n re’s noth
ing like trying. So, if you can’t
find me in the office—don’t
look, because I'll be fishing.
