Among my Sunday Fan Mail was a long letter evidently written by a person all weighted down with the importance of having attended college for four years, It was signed "A Local Gentile". The letter was filled with compliments and constructive criticism some of which was in question form. If this Philanthropist will take time to borrow a Dictionary and get the full meaning of "chitchat" the questions will be answered. The anonymous letter writer must live alifo of shame to lack the Intestinal Fortitude to sign a Christian name. |
