This Week’s Cover
- Little Harry Helicopter is now getting bawled out for being the only person in John Falter’s picture exhibiting any signs of imagination, daring, enterprise and inventive genius. If memory serves, people also used to counsel the Wright brothers to come right down from there and stop being silly. Wouldn’t it be a charming twist if the inventor had something in that fuselage enabling him now to fly straight up into the air? Anyway, instead of the lad’s parents being critical, they should admire his judgment in deciding not to take off from that water tower. By the way, who stole in papa’s fender—papa? If they’d let Harry drive, he could do better. Grandpa is saying, “Let Harry be! I used to jump farther than that. Without wings.”
