‘FORGET IT*
By The Skippfer^
Undoubtedly many radio listeners have heard the ex
cellent program offered over the Mutual network in which
A, L. Alexander presents his “Hour of Arbitration and Medi
ation” which is frequently referred to by the title “There
are Two Sides to Every Story.’^ ,
It is not our purpose to put in a plug for this broadcast—
although we are willing to admit it to be one of the most in
teresting of any on the adr.
We say this for the reason that every appearance of Mr.
Alexander is featured by the jading of a poem, a poem
from a collection which he describes as “Poems That Touch
the Heart.” ' /
The other night Mr. Alexander read a poem entitled,
“Forget It.” It was so timely, so concrete in its truthfulness
so direct with its punch, that we wrote for a copy in order
that we could present it to our readers.
The tense minutes which crowd our daylight hours and
cause us tp toss restlessly,throughout the night are all due to
the war. War produces a state of nerves which makes'" one
irritable. Perhaps we dont like a person and when someone-
tells us something detrimental to the character of that party,
our nerves may be in such a state of tenseness that it causes
us to sort of rejoice in the story of an unfortunate one.
Mr. Alexander in his poemJ^Torget It,” brings a vivid,
reminder tP each and everyone of us who may speak without
thinking. The bridge elub and soda fountain gossips—so
many of them—can dP well to read “Forget It.”
Forget It
"If you see a tall fellow ahead of the crowd
A leader of men marching fearless and proud.
And yon know of a tale, whose mere telling aloud
Would cause his proud head in anguish be bowed,
IT’S A PRETTY GOOD PLAN TO FORGET IT.
If you know of a skeleton hidden away
In a closet, and guarded, and kept from the way
In the dark, and whose showing, sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and life-long dismay
IT’S A PRETTY GOOD PLAN TO FORGET IT.
If you know of a thing that would darken the joy
Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy.
That will wipe out a smile, or the least bit annoy
IT’S A PRETTY GOOD PLAN TO FORGET IT.”
A Pennsylvania family of eleven is living over a coal
bed which has been burning for years. Evidently an eastern
version of “Home on the Range.”
Organized laundry workers in the west are refused a
court injunction. But what’s another lost union suit, among
so many?
