some more talking about their

Mr Petrilto, that saucy satrap
of the musicians, has ruled that
after January no member of his
(used advisedly) union will make
any records. Some minor gains
are promised by this action.
Shortly after it goes into effect
it will be possible to dine without
din and there might be a lessen
ing of radio noises.
Eventually, however. Mr Petr ti
le is going to turn people to mak

be a real public benefit. Too many
