1 J. J. McCaul-EY Emma M. McCauley 529 EAST MAIN STREET • VENTURA, CALIFORNIA A CItceriu] Plate to Eat April 18, 1944 Dear Mom: Polly Pinkerton and Frank Guthrie, the editor and the advertising manager, respectively, of El Pirata , the junior college ' s 1944 yearbook, came in a couple of weeks ago to ask Mr. McCauley to run an ad in their book. He said he would be glad to and then after they left he got to sputtering around and wondering what in the world he would say in the ad. He ' s almost a nervous wreck for worrying about it and I don ' t believe he knows yet what the copy will be and they say the deadline is tomorrow. Of course he didn ' t ask me but if I was him I ' d advertise to the readers of El Pirata (that means The Pirate , Mom) three things. First off, I ' d tell them that the VJC students have done a mighty fine job on the whole of conducting themselves during this year with the war giving everybody the jitters and stuff. Once in a while I hear some of the boys get a little speedy in a jalopy but I guess they ' re just blowing off excess energy or something while they ' re waiting to go fight the Japs. On the whole they ' re a swell bunch of kids. Then I would tell them again like everybody always does that the future of this community will depend on them and that it won ' t be long before they have all the responsibilities. Then at the last I ' d just mention very briefly that McCauley ' s is a darn good place to eat and that its slogan of Thick Steaks Thin Pancakes not only means what it says but they ' re good, too. And then I ' d stop. But, of course, I only work here and he hasn ' t asked me for my views on the subject. Must stop and go to bed now. Mom. Lots of love to you. Pop and Ethelbert. Your loving daughter, Mairzy !■■ ' ' - ' 111 1 i 11 Nil 1 m ' III II IM II nil iiii ti 1111 1111 1111 ' Ill » I ' 11— .11 — Hii II -r
