*5;rs THE LAW!

1 A public information officer of the American '

Bar Association writes us:—"As a former newspaper man who now tries

to improve the image of the nation's lawyers,let me tell you that I and severe! of my non-lawyer colleagues were greatly amused bythis Dennis the Menace cartoon (left).

'/"In these days when the lawyers need tolaugh at themselves, a copy of this cartoonwill find a good home at this office. Hundredsof people come through here annually andalmost all are leaders of the bar."

HOW WE TALK.

Our cartoon to the right brought this reac-

tion from a mother in New Jersey:—"For years our family has enjoyed Dennis,

but we feel you really outdid yourself this

time.

"This really hit home—made us think about

how we talk to our kids!

Thanks so much for bringii

happiness all these years."

HOW WE READDennis, who can't read himself, is helping

others learn to read!

A teacher in Kansas City, Mo., uses our Den-

nis Sunday newspaper comics in her reme-

dial reading classroom and, as she says, has

"become very excited about the interest and

the results shown by the students."

WEDDING PRESENTA minister in Cypress, Calif., gave a copy olour cartoon (left) to a young couple he mar-ried for a wedding present.

He had a special reason for this. In an inter-

view before the wedding, the bride-to-be saidshe wanted the word "obey" removed fromthe ceremony because she was a Women'sLiberation believer, and did not want to

promise to take orders from her husband.

The minister, though, reminded her shewould have certain responsibilities to fulfill,

so she promised to "obey" her husband, andthe minister gave the couple our cartoon as areminder of this.
