YE EDITOR 



The latter part of March the editor, Mr. Barnes, 

 got much better and started to return to his regii-^ 



^ lar work. A few days at the office however, over- 



g}Q^ taxed his strength and April 4th he suffered a vio- 



00 lent relapse. For a time he was a seriously anrd' 



|?| dangerously sick man. However after a consu|ta|yj^Y ^^ ^q„^ 



op tion of four specialists it was again determinexMo ^ ^ 



g^ perform a second operation on the affected eaK« 



Qg This was done and since then the patient has been 



^ slowly getting better. At this writing, April 20th, 



2g he is still confined to his bed but with a promise of 



<^ being permitted to sit up in a chair soon for a 



^ short time each day. 



^ We are doing the best we can with The Oologist 



^ in the meantime and crave the assistance of the 



^ friends of the little journa] who have its good near 



^ to heart. AVe need copy, short notes, and will 



^ truly appreciate all the assistance received, as it 



^ is sorely needed until "Ye Editor" can again re- 



^ sume his usual activities. — Virginia Lane.
