It's time, once again, to answer the questions piling up beside the typewriter. If you have sent in a question and it is not answered here, you should be ashamed of yourself. Q - 1 see by the papers that Nelson Rockefeller has just bought a $35,000, mink-draped bed and Gerald Ford has ordered a $52,417 swimming pool for the White House. Does this mean the recession is over? A - No. Mr. Rockefeller acquired the bed with green stamps and Mr. Ford's friends are paying for the pool with pennies they saved out of their unemployment checks. Q - Why did Gulf Oil Corporation secretly contribute $4 million to the political campaign of South Korea's President Park Chung Hee? A - Because South Korea's government is patterned after that of the United States. Clean government is second only to Christian armaments on our list of exports. Q - 1 want to preserve copies of your newspaper so my grandchildren can read the want ads. Is there a way to do this'? A - Of course. Dissolve a milk of magnesia tablet in a quart of club soda overnight. Pour into a pan large enough to accommodate the flattened newspaper. Soak newspaper one hour, remove, and pat dry. Estimated life: 200 years. Chemically, the magnesium oxide combines with the carbon dioxide in the soda to form magnesium carbonate which neutralizes acids in the paper that cause deterioration. The newspaper can also be chewed by your grandchildren to relieve heartburn. Q - An advertisement in a daily newspaper offers to sell, for $2.00, the diet invented by NASA for astronauts. Since we have already paid for the diet with our tax money, how come we have to pay again if we want the real skinny? A - Stop whining. Just because you pay taxes for something doesn't mean you can use it. You can't picnic at what's-his-name's estate at San Ciemente, can you? Q - It has been announced that a Billy Graham crusade will be the first event held in Seattle's domed stadium. Wasn't the stadium built for sporting events? A - Yes, it was. Which is why it is reported that stadium officials are considering turning loose some lions during Graham's appearance. Q - During the gasoline shortage, government officials and oil company spokesmen blamed the Arabs for our troubles. Now it is revealed that Gulf Oil Corporation secretly spent $50,000 for Arab propaganda in this country. Why weren't we told this at the time? At Home In The World, three If the Earth were only a few feet in diameter, floating a few feet above a field somewhere, people would come from everywhere to marvel at it. People would walk around it, marvelling at its big pools of water, its little pools and the water flowing between the pools. People would marvel at the bumps on it, and the holes in it, and they would marvel at the very thin layer of gas surrounding it and the water suspended in the gas. The people would marvel at all the creatures walking around the surface of the ball, and at the creatures in the water. The people would declare it as sacred because it was the only one, and they would protect it so that it would not be hurt. The ball would be the greatest wonder known, and people would come to pray to it, to be healed, to gain knowledge, to know beauty and to wonder how it could be. People would love it, and defend it with their lives because they would somehow know that their lives, their own roundness, could be nothing without it. If the Earth were only a few • feet in diameter. Editor, The Journal: Last week your newspaper published the letter of Ms. Judith Fishbach. In her verbose albeit articulate way she took a rather cheap shot at the staff and the program of WCC. I wish to express my complete disagreement with her comments. I, as staff librarian at WCC, have found the staff to be not only cordial in their relationships with one another but also competent and concerned in their relationships with the vast majority of the residents of the center. Perhaps the pettiness Ms. Fishbach sees is real; perhaps not. The point is" that it does not help the situation to publicly denounce one's fellow employees. Ms. Fishbach points out that she misses the spirit of togetherness which she so strongly felt at Western State Editor, The Journal: In response to your article, "Dogs Slaughter Deer," there is a humane organization in Mason County striving to overcome this problem as well as other animal-related problems. A draft of a county ordinance' has been drawn up and is being discussed and refined by the Editor, The Journal: In rebuttal to the letter written by Ms. Fishback in the Journal on the apparent poor condition of the operation of the Washington Corrections Center, we the employees have this to say: For a person who has only been employed here six months on the switchboard in the front office of the institution to be able Hospital.
