Letters, We Get Letters It is surprising, the amount of “stuff’’ that passes through our Post Office. Undoubtedly, you get quite a bit at home, .too. Advertisements, announcements and little bits of useful information. We get more than usual here, because it seems’ that everybody that does any- ‘ thing, and a lot of people that don’t do anything, want publicity. This, of course, doesn’t apply to letters about local events or local happenings. That’s our business. But just to give you an idea of some of the flotsam and jetsom the morning tide washes in, here are a few of the letterheads: The Society of the Plastics industry; Midwest Steel Corp.; Air France; American Soybean Association; 7 different television stations, Aramco World; The Asphalt Institute Quarterly; American Medical Association; United Fruit Co.; Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, etc. These are only a few, but they all add up to one thing. The poor Post Office staff has to look at, sort and carry all these things. If they live in town, they have one consolation. They can get home in the evening and read the paper—someone else had to carry that to their house. * * * • A Nice Place To Be Most of the people who read this are fortunate enough to be in America’s great “middle class.’’ Whether they like it or not, they are the folks that control the destiny of both this country and the world. There are several different levels within the middle class, but it encompasses most of the Adams county folks, and the majority of the people in the nation. That is the fact that makes us the controllers. Being the majority, we look out for ourselves. Sure, we have different opinions, political parties, different churches and bridge or poker clubs—it would be boring if we didn’t—but our interests '» are basically the same. Part of those interests are to keep the factions at the opposite ends of the middle class from controlling things. Aristotle, a gentleman who made wise comments while wearing a sheet, had this to say: “It is clear that the best political association is the one which is controlled by the Middle Class. Its weight turns the scale and prevents the predominance of one extreme or the other. If there is no middle class ... the consequence is failure and speedy destruction of the State.”

CHAPTER 1 | AS I opened the door and stepped into the reception room, a flash bulb blazed into brilliance and blinded me. Big Bertha Cool, whb had been facing the camera with a fatuous Bmile on her face, whirled angrily, glared at me and turned to the photographer. “Did that hurt anything?” she asked. “I’m afraid It did,” the photographer said apologetically. "The opening of the door put it at just the right angle so my flash bulb was reflected back into the earner a” Bertha said byway of explanation. “It’s only my partner.” Then, as I hesitated, she said. “Don’t worry, Donald It’s just publicity. [ have it all fixed up.” She was turning back toward the cameraman when she caught the pose of the filing clerk who was sitting on the comer of the desk with her skirt up over her knees, her crossed legs showing to advantage. “Now what the devil are you doing, sitting there sticking that nylon out at the camera?” Bertha asked. The t girl looked helplessly at the photographer. "She was following instructions," the photographer said. “Whose?” "Mine.” “Well. I’m the one who gives all the instructions here,” Bertha told him. “Any time I want to have a bunch of chippies sitting on the edge of a desk . . . get off that desk. Stand over by the filing case if you want, but don’t sit up there with your legs sticking out.” “I'm sorry, Mrs. Cool,” the photographer said. A man who had been standing over behind the filing cabinet came out and said, “We’re going to need cheesecake, Mrs. Cool. If we don't have cheesecake, the papers won’t publish it.” “Cheesecake in a detective’s sfflcel" Bertha Cool snapped. "Cheesecake in a detective agency," the man repeated stubbornly. “Cheesecake Lb everywhere. If you don’t have cheesecake. you don’t get published. There’s no use wasting the film on this if it isn’t going to make the papers, and If it isn’t going -- to make the papers, Mr. Crockett won’t care to employ your agency.” Bertha glowered at him, then said somewhat reluctantly, “This - is my partner, Donald Lam—Donl Copyright © 1868 by Ei

fact be included. jn the reception, invitations? A. Yes; the words, “Through the courtesy of Mrs. Thomas Ferguson,” may be put in the lower righthand corner of the card. Q. When someone whom you have Just met says, “I am glad to have met you,” isn’t a smile in reply sufficient? A. This would seem to have a condescending air about it. It is much better to accompany that smile with a pleasant “Thank you.” Q. Please suggest a few things a girl of moderate means might include in her hope chest. A. Sheets, pillow cases, bath! towels, guest towels, face towels, 1 dish towels, washcloths, dustcloths, table cloths, luncheon cloths, dinner napkins, luncheon napkins, quilts, blankets, pillows, scarves, doilies, pictures, vases, books, silver, ornaments of various kinds, and a good cook book. Q. When one is dining in a selfservice cafeteria, is it necessary to tip the waitress who carries one’s tray from the counter to the table? A. While not considered exactly necessary, many people do. Q. Is it all right to place a man next to his fiancee whqp seating dinAer guests? A. Yes, this is quite all right. But a man and his wife are usually .separated. .. .......

|ald, this is Melvin Otis Olney, who handles public relations for I Dean Crockett.” Olney came over and shook hands. “We could have a picture with Mr. Lam and the file clerk,” he said. “Lam could be looking for a paper in a hurry, and—” “Not Donald,” Bertha said. “If that girl sticks her legs out in front of Dohald, he’ll be looking at legs, not papers. .. . Now let’s get that picture.” The filing clerk looked at Olney questioningly. Olney took the bit in his teeth. "Get back up on the desk,” he told her. The photographer, who had replaced the flash bulb and reversed the plateholder, held up the camera. *AII ready?” Melvin Otis Olney said to the filing clerk, “Keep your toes pointed down; both of them. It makes your legs look a lot longer and a lot more graceful. Point them way down. Now take a deep breath. . . . Okay, Lionel, let her go.” Bertha Cool had started to protest, but thought better of it and twisted her face into a fatuous smile: a sweetly synthetic grin that was as foreign to her as a postage stamp on a dollar bill. The flash bulb blazed again. “All right,” Bertha said, “now get out!” “One more," the photographer said, “just as a measure of insurance.” He whipped out another film holder, slammed it into the camera, jerked out the slide, set the shutter, took another flash bulb from his pocket, touched the base of it to the tip of his tongue, inserted it In the socket in front of the reflector, cocked the shutter, held up the camera, and said, “Now, smile, please.” Bertha took a deep breath. I could almost hear her teeth grit. Olney said, "We should have one of the two partners together, and—” “Shoot it," Bertha said angrily through lips that were twisted into that leering smile. “Somebody’s got to work in this joint. Get going.” The photographer waited until Bertha’s face returned to just the expression he wanted. Once more the flash bulb blazed. Bertha whirled to the file clerk. "AU right,” she said, “get off that desk and get back to your job." Bertha started toward her office, stopped, evidently felt she Erie SUalay Gardner; distributed by Ki

Cool Reading For * Hol Summer Days Two penguins and a snowman are upstairs in the public library, and they are suggesting a different way to cool off in this July heat—reading a book about the Arctic or the Antarctic. Close to the penguins is a book about exploration in their home, the Antarctic, “South of Cape Horn,” by Armstrong Sperry, a popular writer of children’s adventure books. “Antarctic Icebreaker” and a Landmark book on the conquest of both the North and South poles are also there. For the younger readers, there is the "First Book of the Antarctic.” Spotlighting the 49th state, a pair of children's fur soft shoes for the snow, or mukluks, sit on a block of ice, just as the penguins, the snowman, and a little white tree of birds do. (Well, it really is styrofoam ice. But it loks cool.) Three picture prints of Alaska’s mountains and towns and a pair of real snowshoes are also in the display. “Holiday in Alaska” is one of the Alaskan books on display, while there is one called “Children of the Blizzard,” about the people who live in the cold regions of the Td travel closer to the North Pole, one could read about the animals in the Arctic;, as in “The Littlest Reindeer,” by Johanna DeWitt, or of the comic adventures in “Miss Pickerell Goes to the Arctic,” by Ellen Mac Gregor, Smother cold place to Visit throv' '■ bobks is the island in CGreenlanii ’ Waters.” 623 Books Monday Put up over the holiday weekend, the display will be up for the rest of this week. There is evidence that the readers who swarm the ■ library have already found it a I place to get a book to cool off with. | And they corhbine their reading i time with time at the swimming pool, it appears, using a two-point program to keep cool, for the children’s department says that the busiest hours are just before tjie swimming pool open and after it closes. After Independence Day holiday, when the library was closed all day Saturday and Sunday, readers swarmed into the library Monday afternoon, when 49$ juvenile books and 128 adult books were checked out, making a total of 623 books. In reaching near the 500 mark in Circulation, the children had taken out in one day almost half the number of books that were checked out in their department during the entire month, of June, 1949, the year the children’s reading program began and when 1,346 children's books were taken out.

owed me an explanation, and grudgingly said, “Dean Crockett the Second is giving a big shindig and has retained us to guard the entrance to see that no gate crashers get in. “The last time he gave a party some gate crashers got away with a jade statue worth six thousand bucks. He wants to make certain that it doesn’t happen again. He feels that if we can keep the gate crashers out of the party, the , guests who are invited can be trusted.” I said, "You’re not to guard the jewelry then, but guard the gates?” “That’s right,” Olney said, “the gates—and a little publicity helps, Mr. Lam. Not only helps Mr. Crockett, but helps me tn my job. It helps the agency, and ad- , vising gate crashers in advance that they won’t be tolerated will ; be half the battle.” “It’D keep out the amateurs,” I told him, “hut it just might . prove a chaUenge to some of the more expert ones.”' “Well, Mrs. Cool can handle l them," Olney said. “That's one i reason I wanted her picture for the paper. She looks so decidedly , ...” He caught himself and said, “Competent.” Bertha glowered at him. “You don’t need to pull punches with me,” she said. “I’m a tough old . battle ax and I know it" “We wanted a detective agency that had a woman," Olney explained, “a thoroughly competent ’ woman. Mr. Crockett felt that . the last gate crasher who got , away with the carved jade statue , was a woman. A man can’t walk up to a woman and say, “Pardon me, I think you just dropped a ' statue down the front of your dress.* A really determined woman is in a different position.” Olney looked at Bertha Cool and smiled. ““They’re not going to get away with anything crude like that ' when I’m around,” Bertha said. I 4 The next afternoon’s paper car- . ried the story. It had turned out to be a pretty good picture. The filing clerk’s [ legs showed to advantage, and . Bertha Cool, a hundred and sixtyfive pounds of potatoes in a sack, , with a bulldog jaw and glittering eyes, was a hard-boiled contrast to the cheesecake. - There were headlines: DEAN : CROCKETT THE SECOND DECLARES WAR ON GATE .
