Needleworker Joy

Sirs:

I have just been sent a clipping, with the information that it is from your magazine of July 18, as follows:

"With hands which are usually busy knitting, Chairwoman Mrs. Henry Bourne Joy, a motherly soul who is president of the Needlework Guild of America and whose husband used to run Packard Motor Car Co. in Detroit, took up a pencil and rapped on a table for order. Her signal got the attention of a potent segment of the nation's womanpower."

I am much annoyed by this as Mrs. Joy is not president of the Needlework Guild of America, she is not even president of one of its Branches, and I would like very much to have you correct this error. Mrs. Joy is a vice president of the Detroit, Mich. Branch of the Needlework Guild of America. Mrs. Thomas J. Preston Jr., the former Mrs. Grover Cleveland, is president of the Needlework Guild of America, and I am sure you will realize this is not a very pleasant kind of an error to come out in your magazine, for many of our 750 Branches of the Guild to see.

Two-Timer

Sirs: I am a poor but honest employe of a Stock Exchange firm—trying to scratch out a living in a barnyard where worms are all but extinct. But regardless, I am preyed upon by a member of the firm, by name, Irving D. Rossheim, who early each Friday morning, at an hour wholly unnatural to him, comes to my desk and seizes my copy of TIME. And this, despite a copy which awaits him at home. Has a poor man no defense against such predatory action? Can I appeal to the U. S. Government? Can I appeal to the Editors of TIME to institute an advertising campaign (a la mode Buick Motors) advocating two-TiME families? If solicited, I am sure Mr. Rossheim would be proud to be the original two-TiMER. ROBERT S. THANHAUSER

Predatory Mr. Rossheim is hereby solicited to become a two-TiMER.—Ed.
