...farm in Sussex. At last week's dinner no whiff of Holmesian ritual was omitted. Holmesian pundits floored one another with complicated I.Q. tests based on the Master's "Sacred Writings," filled the air with erudite Sherlockeries. From a dais, the Rev. Leslie Marshall of Paterson, NJ. intoned a "prayer," especially composed for the occasion: "Grant me, O spirit of Reason . . . plenty of three-pipe problems, that I may avoid the cowardice of 7% cocaine*. . . .

Milk in the afternoon and pretty milkmaids to serve it, "THAT'S THE LIFE." What would these pampered pansies of Paterson's NJ. plant of Wright Aeronautical Corp. (TIME, Aug. 24) do on a diet of cocoa and flies in the afternoon? NO MILK, NO BUTTER, NO POTATOES, NO FLOUR, NO COFFEE is what we have and as for MILKMAIDS-anything white, single and under 60 would cause a riot, not a STRIKE in these parts. Is it for these milk-sipping and milkmaid-ogling PATRIOTS that we are sweating in B.C. to produce their essential "BAUXITE...
