replied: “Mr. President, the Red

is already on the scene.”

What The People Say
An open letter to Mrs. C. A|
VerNooy.
Dear Mrs. VerNooy:
Like a sudden gracious miracle
We wish you might get well,
For the sake of the community
In which you more than dwell.
Recovery for yourself alone
You probably would not ask,
But well we know your eager
ness
To again resume the task
Of making Athens, here and
now,
The town where love succeeds
In promoting human welfare
Above color, class or creeds.
May you soon be well again
To see your task well done,
For as Tiny Tim would say
You have blest us—everyone.
—Leota Joyce Hill.
