Sometimes I believe a missing .4. • *ey Isn't as bad aa having a typ*- ^itntor' which wont spell pnyeny. , Such being my case, I set it aside -.• -r jand detiM to write by ham}. I gather that occasionally you try Vjto fib your column with most any , ! space absorbing items, and since Z I hare often aspired to become a renowned author, thought you might '••%Bnd these few words coming from <;>;*>.the Sunny South (?) helpful. ,<i From time to time I have seat rou descriptions of places to which have travelled, »nd now comes 'another brief one of my present : location. Warner Robins, named for the ^ "'* . last General Robins, is an outcrop- , ping of a war-born town, now ' approximately • " 'though it ia hard to " lint fight. •,V Justafew years ago, this was ^cotton and peanut land, and it is only atace about 1848 that this city sprung into such a metropolis. It is sort «l a crossroads of the U. S., , boasting very few business booses, one small theatre, several schools and churches of practically every denomination. Very transient population, the majority employed at Robins Air Sue, which, cair be seen 'from, most any part of town. When I„aay crossroads, it is just "that. For" door is a family from Pennsylvania (the wife ia from Scotland), Wisconsin, North Carolina, Jtfal starting next next WisCOWtin, ww.-, w-- another- family from Illineia, then Florida, and so it goes. This all in one short block. When you first meet people yo^i -generally eay "What part of the country are you from?" You might be in a store and catch New England, Middle West, Western and Southern accents. (Yes, there are Georgians here, toot) Indeed, America is well To offset the apparent lack of city noises and excitements, Macon, a dty of more than 100,00# is nearby and fiords many mediums of entertainmnt, thus making thia seem Hke having a place in the country. And so/ sfaee this dty possesses many aodal, religious and political factors, as well as city-country complex, I list it among the moat interesting places I haw been. If you, of any pi our friinds up there in McHenry, are ever on the Florida via Mte 41, please fad free to detour a few miles south of Macon and pay as a visit. Hacerelft F. J. Mueller. IM Bowdsn Drive r - Warner Robins, Ga. Thanks for your letter, Freddie. - Don't let the boss think ws just try to fill space. What wa do is try to pick the best contribution each week. - No need of adding tbit there are weeks when we have -no more than one contribution. Joe Wilman, nationally famous bowler, appeared at the Palace Monday afternoon to show the boys and girls bow it's done. A beautiful hook and ability to pick up spares is probably the answer to Wilman's 200 plus average. Vandenburgh, former residen ne to McHenry with Wilman and i pressed into service as an A baity rabbit had been pestering its mother all day. Finally, the exasperated parent replied, "You were pulled out of a magician!* &at ,--now stop aaUng question."
