Mr. Harris writes the following, and this column is inclined to agree with him: _ "But I don‘t. think they (girlie shows) belong on the legitimate stage any more than a bullfight belongs in a church. It is not a matter of bad morals, but of bad taste. Besides, there is a wellâ€" known law of diminishing returns in Smut.

He was reunited with his wife and baby and his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Grover Grady, 589 Forest, for the first time in two years, the length of his overseas service. Pfc.

The folksy couple have one â€"ofâ€"theâ€"bestâ€"andâ€"most popular programs ever to come over the airwaves. Their writer, Don Quinn, most successfu} of all radio scriptâ€" men, has a strict rule for â€"every program he prepares: Keep it clean. And his strict adherence to this principle has paid tremendous divâ€" idends and given the nation‘s radio listeners a cleancut, highly amusâ€" ing radio show . . . At a field where I was stationed for quite a time, there â€"was a lieuâ€" tenant colonel who had operated on elevator in a department store when he was a civilian.

Another reader writes, ‘"What do you think about the postwar job situation? Should officers get the best positions in civilian life?" .. My commanding officer at anâ€" other field was a captain.â€" He had held but one job in civilian life: shoe clerk, 12.dollars a week. He, too, was released from the Army the other day. He went back.to the shoe store in a littleâ€"Indiana town. . * mea I‘ve known erflisted nten who were executives in widelyâ€"kno advertising firms. _ Working with me is a corporal; he was formerly a staff writer for the New York TIMES. â€" My mést récént "comâ€" manding officer, ‘a major, was a cook in civilian life. § One of 3 Stratford Sons Home From Europe _ So, dear reader, you can‘t tell about a man when he‘s in uniform â€"officer or enlisted.

That‘s still a touchy subject, Sir. I think the best man should get the job, regardless of the rank he held in the services. I‘ve known many fine officers â€" and just as many fine enlisted men.
