R. SCHULTZ IN REFERENCE 10 SHOWS Editor Democrat: We have all read or at least have heard of "The Seven Wonders," of the world. Hut alas! the ."Eighth living wonder" has discovered "itself." Great renown has fortunately blessed the Hub of the famous Willamette valley. A shining light in the intellectual world, sud denly bursting (or 111 in all its splendor, its radiant beams casting unbounded joy to hearth and home. The "editor" of the Evening Her ald has just discovered that Albany fails to secure the best attractions in the world's amusement. Great riddle indeed! Why? lie's got "Herman the Great" skinned a mile. After touring the country from coax to coast with flattering orcss repot is from all the mg metvo'n.liian dailies, this iieu-tiusher of the derail ihe uav with the "flowinir locks.'1 has discovered that the "Twin Beds" is a fiTiv-eent rIiow. which could be oro- duccd by an average student body. Had this self-made theatrical critic been able to take a peep at "Twin Heila" on the "dead head route" in stead of one dollar per, his testimony no doubt would have been ot a uit fcrent color. It makes a difference, you know. The "nizircr in the woodpile is seen quite plain in Mr. Reagan's edi torial. Moral: If you don t advertise in the Herald, woe be unto you.
