Are You Interested THE VULCAN Page 6 --------------------------------------------------------------- Now if I were to tell you what to write, or how to write your magazine correspondence I'd probably get a kick in the puss for my pains. But you can't hit me for getting a few pet peeves off my chest. Add them up and exterminate the following. 1. Guys who do nothing but criticize. 2. Fellows who gush all over the place with enthusiasm. 3. The same old routine----one, so so; two, could be better, three, this shouldn't happen to a dog. 4. The chap who includes his life history and diary of his travels. 5. The lad who thinks that he should get a lot of free adverrtising in before he says "I read your magazine". I could go on all night, but then you'd say, "Who's spouting off steam now?" Instead, I'll jot down what I like in a letter: 1. A difference in approach. 2. Brief and to the point discussion. 3. Constructive criticism, solid suggestions. The pencil has gone dull, the ink bottle tipped over, and the typewriter keeps making mistakes. In other words, it's time I signed off for this time.
