If it bothers you to have sections of road torn up for repairs, just remember how many people are being employed in those jobs. No justice. Claudel Washington, who never lived up to his press clippings with the White Sox, was shipped out to the Mets where he promptly hit three home runs in one game. Maybe a change of pasture is good for ball players. Wish they would ship some players our way who could wallop the ball. Pitching and defense are supposed to be the name of the game, but nobody has found a way to defense a ball sailing high over the wall. I didn't think certain TV news dispatchers could ever say anything good about anybody so it was a surprise to hear some half way defense of Mayor Byrne in her bout with the Tribune. As unfair as the press can be at times, Jayne and Jay were barking up the wrong tree this time. Freedom of the press prevails -- even when freedom is abused. Must be it is true there are no new jokes, just old ones revamped. Had to adjust my bifocals to be sure when I read one in the last Readers' Digest. I told that joke at a gathering yars and yars ago. Will say I have had good mileage out of a joke Mrs. Adrian (Millie) Thomas reminded me of telling some 40 years ago. She remem­ bered. I forgot.
