CLAUDE, TEXAS, NEWS: •
"The answer has been there
all the time but I simply fail-
ed to apply any logical think-
ing so the question 'Which came
first, the chicken or the egg?'
went unanswered these many
centuries. Now I 've got it!
It is completely illogical to
think the Good Lord created
an egg, fertilized it and set
it forth to populate the chick-
en world. In fact, the Genesis
story is quite clear on how the
process of the'chicken and egg'
controversy was concluded. The
Good Lord created the rooster in
all his strut and glory, first. Then
came the'hen. Both were pro-
grammed for their main func-
tion of good to mankind. And
the Lord said, let the 'fowl
multiply in the earth. ' Then
the egg. So you see, the chau-
vinist rooster came first. "

It's Better This Way 1 .
It may be a blessing in dis-
guise that none of us has the
power to see ourselves as others
see us. It would probably be
extremely upsetting to be able
to stand outside ourselves and
view with a dispassionate eye
some of our own actions and
tactics that would have to be
considered less than Olympian
in their wisdom and breadth of
achievement.
