Dear Editor.
I have to agree with the
writer of the editorial

“Parental Liability ~ -Some-
thing must be done to deal
with the ever imcreasing

Lament
for

September

Dear Editor:
Oh, if only I could prolong
The golden days of
September

And stretch the many
tunes

That
morning

From throats of life and
death

In perfect harmony;

And plant a lifeless seed, a
child

Dropp’d by a generous
flower

To bloom and beautify
November.

greet me _ every

eos

Oh, if only I could prolong

The songs invented by the
birds,

(Happy little gawks and
tunes)

Thanking for the sky, sun
and rain,

A measly breadcrumb,

And for having a mate

To sing to, care for and
live for —

To behold and enjoy when
songs

Of cold and darkness ride
the wind

And snuggle moaning up
to life.
