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:

"Dogs Slaughter Deer," there is a
humane organization in Mason
