Sir, - Your "Times Past" feature of November 20th originally appeared in November 1936. Contained in it is the statement: "The 1927 census total was divided by the forty nine united States . . ."
Maska, the 49th state, was admitted to the union in 1959. Was the problem one of addition, or was the District of Columbia erroneously classed as a state? - Yours, etc.,
Foylesprings,
Derry.
