Akorn Knows About Htiw to Beat the
Heat, But Not How to End Korean War
Editor’s note: Achin Al-
corn, philosopher on his
Johnson grass farm on Sul-
phur, is affected by the heat
. again, his letter this week
reveals.
Dead Edifar: There have been
times s*hen I felt it was neces-
sary \p figure out an excuse for
not Worjdn, and times when I
haven’t worked, excuse or not,
but when the temperature reach-
es 100 out here I just lay down
^whatever I have in my hand and
May not be able to do any-
^Htng about the weather, but I
Blamed sure can do something
about myself.
I know there are people who
argue you’re better off if you just
keep on workin when it’s hot, but
that seems like a mighty big
price to pay just to be better off.
A neighbor of mine says he
forgets about the heat by thinkin
of how cold he was last winter,
but I ain’t never been able to kid
myself in such a fashion. It re-
minds me of tryin to lift your
spirits by thinkin about the time
you got 35c a pound for a steer
while the one you’re sellin now
is goin for 21c. I can remember
four years ago I thought I was
out-smartin a man when I sold
him a calf for 16c a pound, and
while the same calf will bring
30c a pound now, that ain’t no
consolation to me, as it would
also have brought 35c four
mouths ago. Tryin to keep cool
now by thinkin about last winter
is about like bein tickled oVer
high taxes now because they was
low in 1911, like bein over-joyed
with a sorry bill Congress passed
because they passed a good one
year before last.
As far as I’m concerned, the
weather’s been too hot, and while
I know there are people who will
say if you don’t like the heat,
work harder and get some air-
conditionin, the idea of workin
yourself half to death the first
two-thirds of your life in order
cool off the last third never has
appealed to me. There are ways
to beat the heat from the start,
and the best way I know is to sit
still, and that’s what I’m doin.
Me and Congress know how to
handle a situation like this.
I notice they’re still arguin
about what they’re gonna talk
about if they have a peace con-
ference in Korea. If the world
was as slow about startin a war
as it is about endin one, no tellin
how long we could drag out
peace. Yours faithfully, A. A.

EXTRA HOT WEATHER

Your Electric Servont
No one needs to tell you that this summer hat
been one of the hottest in many years.
And that means I've been working many extra
hours every day for my customers—running their
portable fans, evaporative coolers, attic fans and
air conditioners almost around the clock—and pro-
viding the extra refrigeration and extra quantities
of cold drinks and ice cubes they need.
Naturally some electric bills will be higher
because of all this extra work—but the added cost
is small compared to the comfort and health pro-
tection I bring. Think of the many extra hours
I've worked and you'll agree I represent a real
bargain in summertime better living.
