Commentator's Comer (By Joe Adams) The record-breaking April ''heat wave" of Sunday and Monday was the cause of widespread spring fever. The only cure is a handline, a quiet nook and grassy bank on pond, lake or stream. The cure is usually just as effective if the fish aren't biting. Some wives have the mistaken idea that they can cure a man's spring fever by putting a rug beater in his hands. This treatment is dangerous, generally causes him to wander away in a dazed mental state and can lead to violence. Did you know that most people call 'em hick towns just because there's no place to go where they shouldn't? Rev. John Frees, successful pastor of the Jerome, Idaho, Christian Church, believes in putting a little business into the business of running a church. He advertises regularly in his hometown newspaper and agrees with the businessmen that it pays. "Since we have been, advertising regularly, our congregation's increase has shown the results," the pastor states. "Advertising is fine," he added, wisely noting also that "good preaching must follow to bring the congregation back again and again." Some of our Sullivan ministers likewise have tried advertising and have told us that the results have been gratifying. With The Colors PATIENT TRANSFERRED Robert W. Rogers, S 2c, who has been a patient for the last two and one half years at a naval hospital at ' Newport, R. I., and Chelsea, Mass., was transferred April 17th to the Vaughan General Hospital.
