I met a man named Phillips
for the first time. I don’t usual-
ly play around with anyone’s
name. Very foolish though, this
time I asked him if. he was the
Phillips who makes the milk of
magnesia.
The manner of his answer
implied he might be getting fed
up with that particular ques-
tion. “No,” he said, “I’m the
Phillips who takes the mag-
nesia.”

University of Connecticut pro-
fessor says, deal with the prob-
lems children face when they’re
growing up. And she allows
that what sounds like innocent
noise to moat of us actual is
young people telling all tho
trouble they’ve seen. Mister
Editor, to give you some idee
how little I know, I didn’t think
younguns ever jumped rope
these days. I thought all they
done from the time they could
walk was stare at the TV and
listen to that racket they call
music.
But even if this professor is
on to somepun, I have doubts
about where her research is
going to lead her. There’s a
chanet, though,’that she’ll find
out the children know more
about dealing with their prob-
lems than we do, and she could
do fer the country what the
monkeys has done fer art. I see
by the papers where chimps in
Portland, Oregan and gorillers
in Toronto, Canada are selling
all the paintings they can turn
out and they’re got their zoos
offer a hole new line of art.
It looks more and more like all
you got to do to make so m pun
popular is not understand it
The monkeys in Portland
have sold $2,000 worth of their
paintings, and their keeper said
they’s got more orders fer work
than they can fill. Up in To-
ronto, folks turned out last
• month fer a showing of ape art,
and the critics was agreed the
paintings were real abstract. I
figger that’s a word they use
when, they don’t have the fog-
giest idee what itfs about, and
there is so much ab-
going on in the world no
r it’s popular.
Mt Editor, I ain’t no Fort
Knox on facts, but it looks to
me like apt art and jump sope
songs ain’t all that's gifting
more attention than they de-
serve in this country right now.

DEAR NISTER EDITOR:
With all that's going on

s<e by the papers where this
college professor has done some
serious research in the rimes
that children say when they
jump rope. She has collected
more than 2,000 of them little
songs and sayings, and she has
decided that they tell us a heap
more than what children say “,,u you r,aa

Birdie, our own Mrs. Mala-
prop, always uses the wrong
word if she can. She came along
where I was fishing down on
Cache Creek. She said she was
looking for- one of her broth-
ers, and wanted to know if I
had seen him.
I told her there hadn’t been
anyone by there all morning.
She was upset. She said she
was afraid if the law found
her brother wandering artrand
in the woods they might take
him back to Rockville.
I gathered she had reference
to the asylum, which is located
in Rockville. I asked her if her
brother had been there before.
She said: “Oh yes, they’ve
had him up theres in the ‘silo’
