Sirs:
I read with amusement the form letter written by the Rev. Douglas Hamilton Priest (TIME, March 12). ... I was a Merchant Marine crewman, so I have been around a bit. I beg to differ with this English Reverend and his gratuitous insult to Mediterranean women who are supposed to "get ugly and old-looking so quickly." Coming from an Englishman, whose women are the strangest conglomeration of horse-faced, buck-toothed females this side of a freak show—this is really rich! A beautiful English woman is as rare as a black swan, whereas most so-called Mediterranean women are pretty when not beautiful.
I suggest the Reverend stop giving advice about Mediterranean women; it's obvious he doesn't know the score on this subject....

Once upon a time we asked our readers to shed a tear in their beer for the guy who wrote so many letters to his girl friend that she married the mailman. A Pfc whose initials are JD sent the gag home to his beloved. She in turn wrote this poem:
Please don't shed a tear in your beer,
The mailman doesn't deliver mail here
So have no fear
But JD sez he is still puzzled—he overlooked the fact that the elevator boy delivers mail there.
