use of the subway, Harold's pet promotion. A new station is to be opened for Clinton South riders. Joyriders and persons who take only short rides on buses are being politely to "take a walk." Hospitals, facing a near critical shortage of help, are wondering where they are going to get enough nurses and attendants. 5b eat feuMy YOU, no doubt, have heard that newspapermen meet "such interesting people." Let me tell you about one. I was about to begin this letter when she walked into the Sunday Department and asked for the Sunday editor.

I told her he was home with a back ailment. That was my mistake. I should have said he had gone to the laundry and would be back in a couple of days. When I mentioned his back aiiment I struck a responsive chord rather, a whole symphony of them in this sympathetic soul. It immediately developed that she possessed healing powers, bo help me! For 10 minutes she went on with a lingo about healing powers.

To my one half-attentive ear it seemed extraneous when ehe wove the names of President Roosevelt, Rudy Vallee, Earl Godwin and General MacArthur into her occult discussion. Once I managed to get In the suggestion that she write a note to the absent Sunday editor, she penciled the following: "Any time you need help of any kind call my control, Nicolo Paganinl, and ask him for intercession with my Kings Rododeferighosto, Rododeferighostoraneanus and Rododeferighus, Holy Ghost." While this was transpiring I got to wondering if the OPA and police officials couldn't use some of this occult business in trying to solve the second mystery of the missing gasoline ration coupons. They seem to be hard up against it finding out who thefted coupons representing close to 11,000,000 gallons of gas from School 12 ration headquarters last weekend. This was the second such burglary there in 60 days. But it isn't likely to happen again.

The old barn door has been locked now. That is, the coupon books are to be vaulted in one of our town's best banks. fPHE Postoffice people wonder how many motor- ists will buy the $5 auto use stamps, due July 1. Some guys, always short of scratch, are wondering about the second federal income tax payment, due tomorrow. After July 1 the withholding tax will end all their worries or will it? Jay Golden, the head of the Submarine Day committee, must have wondered where all the money came from all of a sudden when nearly $800,000 was subscribed for War Bonds on the visit of the Jap suicide sub last Tuesday.

Thousands of persons flocked to Main Street," opposite Stone, to see it. Some wondered howinell the yellow sneakers ever got into Pearl Harbor with it. Some of the party faithful must be wondering who will be designated on the GOPJticket June 26. Pepper Martin could use a bit of occult along with his musical talents. He certainly wants to know how high the Red Wings are going to go in the league standings.

They're still in the second division, but they played a honey of a game in Baltimore the other night. It was scheduled for seven innings but went 18 with neither side scoring Rain stopped the marathon. Hutchinson pitchetjall the way for our side, Gromek ditto for Baltimore. TJEDRO MARTINEZ, the rassle promoter, must wonder whether the shift to outdoor shows at Edgerton Park will be profitable or whether he should suspend the acts until fall. The Rochester District Golf Association, uncertain about the driving ban continuing indefinitely, has called off tournament golf for this season, unless the pleasure driving ban is lifted.

Say, Buddy, this occult stuff must be all right. I just sat down here and started wondering and here's your weekly letter from the "wonder" boy. HOME FRONT HARRY. P. S.

The lady with healing powers just vanished while I was writing to you. Now I wonder where she went. Victory Gardener and his good helpmate, Victoria, also would like to peer into the misty future via occult to see what the harvest will be, I'm sure. Vic and Victoria are hoeing away now hoping for the best after the discouraging weather. Harold MacFarlin, "South West" himself, as intimates call him, could use some of that occult stuff, too, as director of the city's transportation setup.

The pleasure driving ban and ODT orders to reduce bus mileage and consequent gasoline consumption caused his headaches. ODT has demanded stiffer cuts in service. That means more (The Democrat and Chronicle and the "Rochesterian'1 are sponsors of a campaign to spur letter writing to the boys in service. You are urged to send this letter to a "buddy," or, if you prefer, clip it and pass it on to the Little White House, Washington Square, this city, to be forwarded to a man in uniform.).
