‘Tiease” Is Understatement Of Year
For nigh on five months, girls
have been passing by the appro
priately placed (?) plaque upon
whose surface is written “Please”.
This white sign against the now
grass infested lawn accentuates the
urgency of this plea, making its
cry almost audible . . . and I cry
back. Please WHAT ?
I have pondered this question to
no‘avail, concluding that it is the
most gross understatement of the
year! The sign is misleading, but
on the other hand, it is very lead-

ing . . . you might call it one
of those paradoxes of nature—or
of somebody’s nature.
To paraphrase an old Biblical
saying—I have left unsaid those
things which I ought to have said,
and said those things which I ought
not to have said. So it goes with
our little plaque.
I have considered that the sign
might have implied these different
meanings.

Ethically: According to some of

Salem’s negative standards, just
please don’t.
Morally: An outraged plea
screams from our little black
and white picket. “Do not ‘tell
your dates good-night’ here.
There is a place assigned for
such subversive activities under
the spotlight.
This sign has spurred me on in
times of depression. It has been
a sign of inspiration urging me to
SLUSH AHEAD—in any direction
but on the grass.
Please — You know you can—
math’s not that hard. Do it
for mother and dad.
Please —■ You know where it all
goes, so pass up that second
brownie.
Please—It’s quiet hour.
Please—(Amory Merritt echoes)
Keep the sunbathing areas free
of debris.
Please — Put “f” on your sign-
outs—teachers will put them
on your papers.
Please—Can we have a free cut?
Please—More tea.
Please—do. Please—don’t. Please
—stay. Please—go. Please stop.
Please continue. Please walk.
Please do not enter. Please do not
disturb. Please be seated. Please
do not flush while train is in sta
tion. And the epitome—the Scor
pion’s Please. (Our Silent Service
Club.) Ah, that’s it — did you
Scorpions fix this sign too?
And as I reflect on all these
things, I realize that it’s just one
of those signs that will continue to
baffle . . . Sort of like the sign
just outside the city limits of Win
ston-Salem—“YOU’LL BE GLAD
YOU DID”.

If you answered “No” to all questions, you obvi
ously smoke Camels — a real cigarette. Only 6 or
7 “No” answers mean you better get on to Camels
fast. Fewer than 6 “No’s” and it really doesn’t
matter what you smoke. Anything’s good enough!
But if you want to enjoy smoking as never before,
switch to Camels. Nothing else tastes so rich,
smokes so mild. Today more people smoke Camels
than any other cigarette. The best tobacco gives
you the best smoke. Try Camels and you’ll agree!
