CONVENTION-AL WISDOM

Please permit me to share jubilant feelings in connection with Guy Friddell's column. I read his column regularly, but when he went to the national political conventions his writings took on a new quality. His articles were exciting, newsworthy, sound (with common sense), humorous and appealing to all who can appreciate excellence in journalism.

I commend you and your staff for giving Mr. Friddell space in your paper.
