SENATORS RECEIVE A
LOT OF FUNNY MAIL
m
Bill Whitley Offers A Few Semples
From Senator Kerr Scott's Desk
in Washington.
By BILL WHITLEY
Men of letters spend a lot of
time pondering the use, sound, ar
rangement and effect of words.
(They probably consider a lot of
other things, too.)
Be that as it may, people in
public life get many lessons each
day in how the written word can
be used. Their mail brings all sorts
of expressions of needs and de
sires, wishes and wants.
DANDIES. Last week, Sen. W.
Kerr Scott was looking through
some of the mail he has received
recently, and came up with some
dandies.
One letter-writer sounded like a
true-blue Democrat. He ended a
long letter with the penetrating
declaration: “I am a Conservative
Democrat and I want to see a
progressive Democratic adminis
tration.”
Another writer had foot trouble.
He wrote: “I am complaining
about my feet that are flat and
badly callused and stay like they
are on ice all the time.”
Gl’s. Many of the letters con
cerned servicemen.
Here are a few sample quotes:
“Dear Sir. Here I am in regard
to my son hoo is bilding time at
Leavenworth which he received
from the Army.”
“I cannot get heads or tails out
of them for replacements, and I
am service-connected on my teeth.”
“Would you have the Depart
ment of Personnel, Department of
the Navy, send me an affidavit
giving the full particulars about
the Medal-oi'-Honor that was
placed in my hand Nov. 3, 1938,
along with my Bad Conduct Dis
charge.”
“I have a Bad Conduct Dis
charge and would like to have you
help in exchanging it for unhonor
able.”
“If this boy could be transfer
red nearer home, I 'believe it
would help his mother’s morals.”
_ And some writers just pass on
good tidings:
“I hope you are feeling fine. I
am fine, but would be much finer
if I had a job.”
“I am not a law broker. I am a
good Republican. I don’t chew to
bacco or gamble or drink whiskey.”
(Note: There is a nasty rumor
out saying the GOP is having
trouble recruiting new members.)
Other indicate they have finally
wised up:
“My wife needs a check up on
her head.”
And to top it off, a close obser-
