Say Mister-I'm Lost
"My name is Lawrence, Kansas. I am 90 years old. I live half way between Topeka and Kansas City on the Kaw. And I'm lost.
"In fact, I have been lost most of my life. I can't seem to get straight-ened out and make progress like my sister towns do. Of course, you say what is progress compared with the easy life that I have been living. I know—there is really no need to◇
improve when the money keeps rolling down the "Hill" and in from Sunflower as it has been doing. Many of my home folks didn't like the idea of that big powder plant going up so close to town guess they figured that new ideas and a semblance of life might reach this community so they never did quite accept those people.
"Now most of them are gone and the money with them. My body is a little worse for wear, and the merchants that I sheltered so closely during the war years don't feel like putting out a little of those war profits to give me the "new look." I guess I'll just remain completely lost 'cause I can't do a fine community job in the condition that I'm in now.
"I need so many things. A number of my store fronts look down at the mouth; most of my streets are the same old ones that I have been using since any of you can remember; the kids, my how I like the kids—they're my future you know—what am I doing for them? My swimming pool isn't much bigger than the Saturday night bath tub and my playground facilities are next to nothing. If the kids weren't allowed to use the University's tennis courts in the summer and the Haskell stadium for football games, the city fathers might realize they were shirking their duty to their offspring.
"The present double-parking situation binds me around the middle like last years' girdle. I can't seem to get rid of this situation so that I can relax and expand and make room for all the folks in the county to come to town and have plenty of room to park their cars. The more room that I have, the more people I can accommodate, and the more the tills will jangle.
"Well, now that I've told you all these things, do you suppose that you could let my city council and the merchants know where I am so
Dear Editor-
Who Knows?
Dear Editor:
Referring to the letter to the editor of April 30 quoting Booker T. Washington, it mentions a "thirst for publicity" by the members of C.O.R.E. How many people know the chairman of C.O.R.E. and many of its members? How many people know that C.O.R.E. on the campus has more colored than white members?
Daniel M. Kirkhuff College junior
The Daily Kansan would be glad to publish a list of all members of C.O.R.E. and its chairman for the benefit of all interested persons. If you know of such a list, Mr. Kirkhuff, how about sending us a copy?—Editor.
that they can raise my head as a first class city—and keep me from getting lost in the future?"

What's the connection between Reddy Kilowatt and a glass of wholesome, pure milk? Plenty!
You see, on the modern dairy farm Reddy grinds the feed, milks the cows, cools the milk and keeps it at a safe temperature until it is hauled away to be bottled. At the bottling plant he is busy in a dozen ways—sterilizing; washing, filling and capping bottles; and constantly safeguarding the temperature of the milk to retard the growth of harmful bacteria. When the milk is delivered at your door you depend on Reddy Kilowatt to see that your household refrigerator keeps it sweet, ready for the table.
Yes, Reddy really gets around these days, working quietly and efficiently to bring you Better Living.
