as laughter is such a rare commodity in these days i should like to tell you tho reason for my loud chortles 1 hopo that you will chortle too i was driving home from the farm on my tractor about ten oclock nnd as i passed tho town hall a repre sentative of the provincial police hailed me holloa there he said startled i reviewed my most re cent lapses of conduct and discovered that none merited the interest of tho police why i hadnt even had timo to stenl apples from our neighbors harvest applo tree the gentleman on tho steps soon enlightened me it npnenred thnt a certain minority of the acton public was deeply concerned about my trac tor and me i felt flattered when this exceed ingly egotistical minority develops a temperature on somebody else s nc- cnunt thnt is nothing less than cnlnclysmic my trnctor and i purred with fom plncency what seems to be the trouble well it t this way thoy feel thnt by driving jour trnctor to the fnrm and bnck each night you nro perhaps wasting

tremendous possibilities when the hnrest is all in i mny eon capitalize on that suggestion and to show thnt i nppreclnte n good joke even when it is nt my own expense i promise to reserve free tickets for those zenlous patriots who asked the police to investigate my activities the police by the way was soon snt- jsfled that my trnctor and i were in beautiful hnrmony with the laws of the lnnd it so happens that i am more ex perlenced nt drtvlng trnctors than w rlting letters to trot acton vtttw press for that reason you may not vet hnve perceived the exquisite humor of the sltuntion you see it s this way we all read an nppeal fox townsfolk to spend their leisure time helping farmers because inbor lt so scarce thnt nppeal is posted in the window of tint fsru psrss where evcrjonc mny read it 1

nttneked he is worried be cause he snys austrnlln hns trained nnd equipped large land nnd nlr forces and hns allies alongside them from tho united states men and equipment the answer according to
