Brother, What you need is a little more of the
Reynolds Technique.
Clinton Reynolds of Bloomington writes letters
by the yard. His latest tome Covered 10 M feet of
shelf paper 13 inches wide. He refilled his pen, five
times to author 3,<JW) words Ion subjects ranging
from the Bill of Rights to a trip to Missouri. Writ-;
ing time: Five! hours, fifteen minutes.
But this is not the most verbose epistle com
posed by the prolific penman. Back in 1043, he v got
off an 18 footer to a brother in the service.
’ . j il'i 1 ;
Reynolds buys shelf paper in 36 foot roils ] to

“DAMNABLE IF YOU DO, BUT YOU CAN
Speaker Martin, Republican, Massachusetts,
ruled that the word M damnable,” while “harsh,” may
be 1 used in the House debate. But he expressed a
hope that the members won’t. j
Rep. Rankin, Democrat, Mississippi, objected
when Rep. Celler, Democrat, New York, had termed
"a damnable statement” a reference by, Rank in to
Doubles between Jews and Arabs in Palestine.
Martin said he was unable to find the word
any where in parliamentary reference books and
hence could not rule that it could not be used.
