NASA Spurs Metric System Give some people an inch and they'll take 2.54 centimeters, or even 25.4 millimeters.

Fitchburg has its-faults, but they are not as bad as the lady makes out. There's nothing the matter with Fitchburg that a little more lively leadership and improved economic status could not remedy. Human strengths as well as weaknesses exist here as Here, as everywhere, the a strengths and compassion and laudable virtues can be easily revealed if one brings to the task an understanding heart and a knowledge of the vast goodness a lies submerged in the hum- of every day living.

One sMfnds in humble tribute to the many writers of letters to the editor reveal a high talent for communicating their thoughts. They are refreshingly articulate, and at times they cause those who write for a living to look with a jaundiced eye on their competitors for reader attention. The Letter Box has handled the Philadelphia Story competently and, withal, in good grace. It is amazing to observe how and where philosophers pop up and articulate for their neighbors in Fitchburg.
