A CALIFORNIA MAN recently received a letter that took 15
days to get from Indiana. It was rubber-stamped with this
explanation from an Indiana post office: “Found in Supposed
Empty Equipment.”
A rubber stamp? It must be necessary to use such a message
quite a lot. A California editor snooped around and found
another stamped message used often by the postal service:
“Found Behind Inoperative Files.”
This led to a game anyone can play. Make up your own
rubber stamps for the postal service. Such as:
“Found in Milk Can in Highway Culvert.”
“Found in Conerstone of Building Dedicated in 1954.”
“Chewed & considered Digested by Friendly Goat.”
“Excavated by Archeological Crew in Ancient Greek
Diggings.”
“Removed by Mistake from Mail Bag by Old Bag.”
“Missent to Moscow, Russia, from Moscow, Idaho.”
“Found in Septic Tank at Home of Discharged Mail Carrier.”
“Went South With Sparrows by Mistake.”
“Found Behind Water Cooler, Along with Two Postal
Employees.”
“Fell Into Disgrace, but Recovered by Loyal Postal
Employees.”
“Found in Pony Express Mail Bag on Late Late Show.”
“Found in Back of Miss-parked 1934 mail truck.”
You get the idea. Mail your suggestions to us. We may print
them, it they get here , the California editor said.

WE HAVE HAD TO increase the press run of The American
because of so many new subscribers in recent weeks. Of course.
I'm happy about that. However, one thing bothers me. There
are a few people who still don’t subscribe. They borrow their
neighbor’s copy of The American.
I don’t like anyone having to borrow a neighbor’s copy,
because I heard a story recently about what can happen.
In a small community near Hope, Arkansas, a man sent his
son over to the neighbors to borrow their paper.
In his haste, the boy ran over a bee hive and in ten minutes,
he looked like a warty summer squash. His father ran to help
him, failed to see barbed wire fence and ripped a pair of $15
pants.
The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence, got into
the corn fieldsand killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, his wife ran out, upset a four-gallon
churn of cream into a basket of baby chicks, drowning the
entire batch, and then dropped her $150 set of false teeth.
The baby, being left alone, crawled through the cream into
the parlor, ruining a brand new $200 carpet. During the
excitement, the oldest daughter eloped with the hired hand, the
dog broke the eggs of 11 setting hens and the calves got out and
chewed the tails off four permanent-press shirts on the clothes
line.
So, for goodness sakes, don’t borrow your neighbor’s copy of
The American. It’s too dangerous!

QUESTION: May I take this opportunity to commend the
garbage men who work in Allen. Most of the time all you hear
is complaints and I think most of them are unjustified. In my
neighborhood (Watson Drive) they do a commendable job. And
with all the junk that some people throw out for them to pick
up, it’s a wonder they can even half way do a good job.
ANSWER: You may.

Dear Buddy:
This afternoon I tried to call
you to personally say “Thank
vou" for (he editorial you ran
in (he Allen American on
February 20. However, I was
(old you would be in and out
of (he office, so I didn’t leave
word.
I appreciate your very kind
and generous remarks about
my work, and you may be
assured that I will do
everything I can to give the
people of (he Fourth Congres-
sional District the kind of
representation (o which they
are entitled.
It is friends like you who
make my job here worth-
while. I want to be of help
when it is at all possible, and
I hope that you will never

another $3 billion spent for
programs formally operated
by OEO. but now under other
agencies, and you have an
expenditure of almost $15
billion to run an agency that
’he President of (he United
States now doesn’t even
consider worth saving. Con-
sidering the. waste and
inefficiency produced by this
multitude of welfare-type
programs. I support the
President's position.

Congress has had a lot of
company during (he last
couple of weeks. We’ve been
invaded by the so-called
“poverty workers”, because
President Nixon has announc-
ed he intends to cut out the
Office of Economic Opportun-
ity.
They came to tell us that
the President cannot cut out
all of these poverty programs
and pul them out of their jobs.
You see, poverty has become
a profitable field for the
people who administer the
programs. The poor get
poorer, but poverty workers
on the Federal payroll cer-
tainly don’t go hungry.
The first wave of about
20,000 representatives of the
poverty business came to
Washington, most of them
from New York, and listened
to the same tired speeches
about (heir rights to federal
welfare from the same tired
spokesmen who run to Wash-
ington every time they think
they can get a Federal dollar.
They claim to be poverty
stricken, but they spend
/plenty of money of trips to the
Nation’s Capital. They block-
ed elevators and cafeteria
lines and practically closed
Congressional offices.
Another. contingent of pov-
erty workers was on hand for
a meeting of the House
Education and Labor Com-
mittee. during which the
acting director of OEO
explained the President’s
intention to liquidate com-
minuty anti-poverty agencies
and move certain OEO
functions to other federal
agancies by the end of this
fiscal year.
Crying on the shoulders of
Congress is not enough for
employees of OEO. They can’t
people think they have their

department of the Federal
Government, but almost im-

I venture to say everyone is
happy the war is over, we
hope, a just peace. We have
been in many wars but none
‘o take over any nation.
Ra'her, it was to prevent any
nation large or small to be
conquered by a ruthless
country.
Kaiser Wilhelm in War I
wanted (o conquer Europe.
Then came Hitler and the
Nazis. President Truman
aided the South Koreans. And
now, President Nixon has
prevented the South Viet-
namese from being taken
over by the atheist govern-
ment of North Vietnam.
As for the bombing, the
purpose was to destroy the
implements of war. When
civilians were accidentally
killed, a great hue and cry
arose. But nothing. I repeat,
nothing was said when the
North Vietnamese deliberate-
ly buried alive 3,000 South
Vietnamese in 1 village. Do
we have to think what the
communists do is al right?
One wonders.
