CLEANING THE POST OFFICE
TO THE EDITOR OF TUB PRISB. Sir,—There was a classic which I was taught as a child. It may not be worth repetition, but it seems to suit the occasion. It ran something like this. "When I thinks of what I is And what I used to was Mothinks I throw myself away Without sufficient cause." This doggerel seems to suit the present occasion. They are putting whitewash on the C.P.O. Would it not be worth while to buy a Is scrubbing brush and threepence worth of soap and soda so as to give the brickwork a feeling of vitality. The bricks might catch cold. Bathing requires to be done with some caution. Of course wc have to realise that these are days of efficiency and economy.—Yours, etc., ™ v „ IDONO. November 12, 1934.
