It.t IMAGINARY DIALOGUES: MRS. ROOSEVELT AND THE OCD CHIEF (“Mrs. Roosevelt takes office as assistant to Fiorello LaGuardia, di rector of the Office of Civilian De fense.”—News item.) Mrs. Roosevelt (making her first appearance)—Good morning, boss. Mr. LaGuardia—Good morning. What can I do for you? Mrs. Roosevelt—I’m fie new girl here. Roosevelt is the name. Mr. LaGuardia—Oh, yes. I re member. Let’s see . . . just what were you to do? Mrs. Roosevelt—You just said to report as your assistant. Mr. LaGuardia—So I did! well, are you all set? Mrs. Roosevelt—I’m willing to give you all my spare time. Mr. LaGuardia — Come, come! You’ll have to do better than that! 1 • • • Mrs. Roosevelt—Dear me! If it isn’t one thing it’s another these days! Mr. LaGuardia—If it isn’t ONE thing it’s A DOZEN OTHERS! Mrs. Roosevelt—I don’t see how you get time to attend to so many matters in so many places. Mr. LaGuardia — I’m puzzled about you in the same way. Gosh, I guess we are the four busiest peo ple in America. Mrs. Roosevelt—Four? There are only two of us. Mr. LaGuardia—Let’s not belittle ourselves! • • • Mrs. Roosevelt—I’m very anxious to get going. Mr. LaGuardia (whipping out a bunch of timetables)—So am I. Mrs. Roosevelt—I mean to get go ing here ... on the new job. Mr. LaGuardia—Oh, yes. My er ror. Let’s see what the set-up is. I’m head of the OCD and I need help. Mrs. Roosevelt—Fancy Fiorello LaGuardia needing help! Mr. LaGuardia—It does seem fanciful, I admit. But I need a deputy and I thought of you, as the First Lady of the Land and such a great worker in so many causes, would be of great help. Mrs. Roosevelt—What can I do that you can’t do? Mr. LaGuardia—Well, a daily col umn for one thing. And you have a radio sponsor, too. I heard you on the air. I went right out and bought some of that tea. Mrs. Roosevelt—I spoke for a cof fee program. Mr. LaGuardia—Sorry! It must have been a bad reception on my radio set. • • • Mrs. Roosevelt—I’ve often won dered why you didn’t do a news paper column yourself. Mr. LaGuardia—I guess the pa pers don’t use that kind of language. But I’ve had a radio offer. Mrs. Roosevelt—From a sponsor? Who? Mr. LaGuardia—A cigarette com pany. It wanted some new noises for the Modern Design theme. Mrs. Roosevelt—Are you going to accept? Mr. LaGuardia—No. My doctor thinks I am doing too much already. Mrs. Roosevelt—I don’t blame him from worrying about the strain on you. Mr. LaGuardia—That isn’t it. He’s worrying over the strain on him in worrying about the strain on me. To get back to business, do you think you understand just what our job requires. Mrs. Roosevelt—Hark! Mr. LaGuardia—What is it? Mrs. Roosevelt—I thought I heard enemy bombers overhead. Mr. LaGuardia—Excellent. You get the whole idea exactly! • • • CAN YOU REMEMBER— Away back when people could al ways find out whether they were in a war or not without much trouble? * • • DEPOT SCENE Commuters kiss their wives good-by As the Seven-Thirty’s distant shriek Calls .them forth with grunt and sigh. To station platform, cold and bleak; Climb out of cars, last link with home. Pull collars up around their throats, Look back at wives who sit alone In nightgowns under polo coats. ^J. H. NILES. • • • “Does anyone ever see a picture of life in Russia under Bloody Joe Stalin?” Senator Clark at the movie inquiry. Well, if the senator was any kind of a movie fan he would know that the answer is “Yes, indeed.” In fact the Russian picture is something that the public got fed up with long ago. • • » A New Rochelle letter carrier was bitten by the same dog three times. This is easy to explain. The dog isn’t expecting any letters.
