MEN WHO MATTER

Der Reader,

I want poor people who can walk the world around, not the rich who cannot walk a mile without a car. I want people who are both physically and mentally rich poor not those who are physically erich but physically poor. I want people who have nothing yet have all, and having all yet have nothing; who are masters and not menials of their possessions, who possesses wealth, not wealth possesses them, and who are not possessed of wealth.

Yours faithfully,

LODGING A PROTEST

Dear Sir,

I regret to draw you attention to the inconvenience caused to us by the parking of trucks in the lane situated between post office and Market Road. In all probability this use of the narrow lane has not had your sanction and it is possible that the operator adopted this practice to avoid the convenience caused by driving to the front entrance of the shop , where though sample facilities for parking are available there is every likelihood of a challan. Besides the operator feel no qualms in loading and unloading beyond the shop hors and even on the weekly holiday also. A further point I must raise is the discourtesy shown by the operator to the residents of this lane who venture to protest against this practice. He showed utter lack of any sign of civic sense. I would therefore request you to send your Inspector to examine our complaint and the merit of this case.

Yours faithfully,

SITUATION VACANT

Dear Reader,

I want those who suffer for others, not those who make outher’s suffer for themselves. I want those who are miserable in the luxury of modern civilization, not those who luxuriate in the misery of science and non-sense, because science is nonsense. You can either be a donkey under gold* or gold on the back of a donkey. You can be either but not both. When we try to possess wealth, it is wealth that possesses us.

Yours faithfully,

Author.

APPEAL FOR FUND

Dear Sir,

We have read with great interest your moving appeal for funds to help the flood-stricken people of the Punjab and sind. We fully agree that is the duty of all to contribute their mite in this worthy cause. We accordingly enclose our cheque for Rs.5000/- measure necessitating a curtailment of our list of approved charities for the year. We however, assure you that every effort will be made to send something as soon as circumstances warrant this possibility, and we trust that your appeal in the meantime will be more useful in other directions.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir,

“Come in the evening, come in the morning,

Come when expected, come without warning,

Thousands of welcomes you’ll find here before you,

And the oftener you come, the more we’ll adore you.”

Yours faithfully,
