The Commentator's Corner (By Joe Adams)

It has been said by many persons that once one has quaffed . from the magic waters of ol' Bussro, he will some day return - to ' these environs to live in perfect contentment. Or at least, he will always long to come back. A former Sullivan resident who 'evidently has a strong "hankering" this spring to return to na- ' tive haunts is Roscoe Barrett, 14407 Crescent Drive, Detroit. Mr. Barrett reminds us in a . recent letter that Easter is close at hand and Sullivan hasn't had an Easter egg hunt since 1942. A former employe of the Sullivan Recreation program, he relates that of r , 1 I 4ha Atriitio tl-io. mini r"r crfyn k c.4 n.c cviiB wivr sored here, none was finer than. the Easter egg hunt, and he longingly reminisces that .

He spent his junior year in high school at Graysville, living with his grandfather, G. C. Richardson, of R. R. 2. Most people will remember him better by his nickname, Jim Roberts, he believes. Jim enlisted in the Navy September 1, 1945 and has been stationed previously at Great Lakes, San Diego and Sampson, New York. Here's the address: James C. Lee, H.A. 1c, Dental Dispensary, Parris Island, South Carolina. With hundreds of servicemen home again, throngs are turning to the pleasures of civilian life with zest aplenty. The Sullivan Golf Club appears destined to have its biggest season, by far and large, and we're told that already the boys who like to chase the little white pellets have been invading, the snappy course in swarms. Local folks ' who have driven 'down South Main street under seventy lately have no doubt enjoyed the several redbud trees a'blossom along the edge of Centennial Park. This spring picture can't last much longer. This is "Be Kind To Animals Week." That is well and good and we presume that "Be Kind To Husbands Week" will come a little later, after the women get through with spring housecleaning. i The recent increase in the price of haircuts here prompted one local martyr, who could be of Scotch descent, to insist that his wife attend the sheep shearing school at the court house last week. But it's even worse in the bigger spots. In Chicago, for instance, haircuts will cost $1 on week days and $1.25 on Saturdays and the days preceding holidays. Shaves will be 65 cents. As for the conversation, it will still be gratis. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. and Mrs. Fred Joseph of Shelburn, R. 2, are the parents of a daughter bom at the Mary Sherman Hospital April 10. She has not been named.

U.S. Will Support Request For Full Discussion On Spain Council Action Against Franco Unlike ly Unless Accuser Can Produce Ahv Tight, Startling Evidence Of Sponsorship Of Nazi Atomic, War Research.

NEW YORK, April 11. (UP) The' United States will support Poland's request for full United Nations Security Council discussion of the Spanish question now coupled with Nazi atomic and 'rocket scientists working: in Spain, official soui'ces revealed today.
