Life would be much easier for us 'orbs if people would study theii English harder and learn the cor rect usage of us. Right now I am confined to bed for two weeks and taking daily treatments from Dr. Jeremiah Verb for strain of see ing myself misused so much.

Dear George: I am writing to tell you of the changes in transportation and communication. There have been great changes, including cars with fancy grill work on the front and big shiny bumpers and fancy sport cars. Other things are airplanes and big air liners with all the luxuries you can think of. We also have ships with swimming ' pools on their decks; most have two. Now, 1 will talk about commun ication. We have telephones where all you have to do is dial the num ber of the person to whom you wish to speak.

How much trans portation did you have while you were living? You should see what we have today: planes that will go about 1,000 miles an hour, cars that have 375 horse power in them, and trains that you can sleep in and not get dirty one bit. Well, Willie, I hope you left your address so I can mail this. Sincerely, —Joe Robinson. Here are three letters addressed to Abraham Lincoln: Black Mountain, N. C. November 19, 1954. Dear Abraham: Since you left this world, there have been many changes. One thing is transportation. We have buses, trains, cars, trucks, air planes, and farm machinery. These things are run by electricity. The telephone was invented by Mr. Bell. This instrument is very important to many people. If some one is in Texas, he can talk to an other person in a far-off state. Today the women have complete electric kitchens. They don’t have wood stoves as you had. All they have to do is push a button. Well, Abe, 1 hope you can im agine what this modern world looks like. Sincerely yours, —Pat Graves. Third Street, Black Mountain, N. C. November 19, 1954. Dear Abe Lincoln: Since you have been asleep there have been many new inventions. One of them is the TV. When you have a TV you may lie for many hours and watch it.
