“Don't you have a mirror so I
can see all of me?" That's the moan
currently heard in the veterans of¬
fice.
Mrs. Mildred Pittman in the vet¬
erans office says the moans are
coming from senior men who come
down to try on their caps and
gowns. The men complain because
they can't get a head-to-toe look
at themselves.
Mrs. Pittman found a small mir¬
ror, but the men wante a full length
mirror or nothing
"I hope." sighs Mrs. Pittman,
“someone will take pity on them
and send down a full length mir¬
ror-soon!”
