The Rotary Balita no. 677 (August 2, 1951)
Getting out this magazine is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are silly. If we don't, they say we are too serious. If we stick close to the office all day, We ought to be around hunting material. If we go out and try to hustle, We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don't print contributions, We don't appreciate genius; And if we do print them, the paper is filled with junk! If we edit the other fellow's write-up, we're too critical; If we don't, we're asleep. If we clip things from other papers. We are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't, we are stuck on our own stuff. Now, like as not, some guy will say. We swiped this from some magazine. We did!
