. A Letter to the Editors . ... Dear Editors: In your column the other day I was surprised and pained to read. that you approve of young men carrying canes on. cold days, provided their fathers carried them also. My grandfather carried a pick and shovel, but that is no reason why my father should carry a pick and shovel, or I either. And what's more, when, at Answer by City My Dear Eva: the end of my brother's first year at! college, he came home with a cane on his arm, my father took me aside and, father-like, he told me that old m-cn had canes because they were weak in the legs and young men had them because they were weak in the head. What say about it? EVA. Editor Follows: FATHER WAS right. BECAUSE ANY young man. WHO GOES away from home. WHERE THERE aren't any canes. AND STAYS a year in college. AND THEN comes back. WITH A cane on his arm. IS MORE than likely. TO ALARM l1is parents. BUT IF it happened. THAT THE same young man. WENT AWAY from home. WH'ERE- THEY carried canes. AND THEN came back. WITH A cane on his anm. IT WOULDN'T be noticed. SUPPOSE FOR instance. IF I'D lef-t home. WHERE MY grandfather lived. AND MY father lived. AND CARRIED canes. AND HAD gone to college. AND HAD then come home. WITH A cane on my arm. DO YOU suppose. THEY'D HAVE chided me. OF COURSE they wouIdn't. V BUT IF I'd come home. WITH A pick and shovel. THEY'D HAVE risen right AND SAID I was crazy. AND NOT for a minute. WOULD I have you feel. THAT A pick and shovel. IS .ONE whit worse. THAN A walking stick. FOR IT isn't, Eva. AND THE chances are. IT HAS led more men. ONTO PATHS of fame. ll THAN HAVE ever been led. BY WALKING sticks. AND AN YWAY, Eva. I'VE CARRIED a cane. THROUGH ALL my youth. INTO MIDDLE age. AND IF I'm penmitted. I'LL GO right on. UNTIL OLD age comes. AND I'LL hobble up. TO THE' pearly gates. AND TI-IEY'LL let me in. IF THE book says so. AND I'LL meet you there. AND IF you're old. AND ALL humped up. YOU CAN have my stick. BECAUSE I never needed it ANYHOWV. I THANK you. 118
