Reno Revue By GLADYS ROWLEY Overheard: "I guess I just don't like her because she never remembers my name And thought of the lecturer who sail, "It isn't that you have poor memories. If you gave half the attention to a name, on introduction, that you give to the face and general poarance of the person you're meeting, you would remember the name- as well." That, according to his theory, is the reason for the hackneyed phrase, "I never forget a face, but I just can't remember names." "Ten to one," he added, "you'll be thinking 'I wish I were wearing a more becoming hat' at the very moment the name is mentioned. If you don't even hear it, how in the world you expect to remember it?" It does sound reasonable only we keep forgetting to remember it.

A friend of ours (Republican) said, "Since we're living undei a Democratic regime, it's nice to be able to road the political columnists to loa'rn what it's all about." Then, he added, "Bet that's one that won't get by your editor" (Democrat). Well, your guess is as good as ours or not you see it in print. Another suggestion was made: That it would be fun to have any of the readers of Uie Reno Revue take over the column now and then. It sounds like a swell idea! You write it a whole column, or any part of one send it along, and we'll see that it gets in. At least as far as our share is concerned.

The editor does have the last word. But Jack Ratledge is, as you may have observed, about as liberal as they come!
