As you go thru this life you
pick up a heap of things. Most
of en> you drop and fergit,
some you save and fergit and a
few you actual put to use. I
reckon that's why they say a
feller with average sense don't
use but 15 per cent of his
brain power even when he’s
trying to think, not to mention
how much of that power he’s
wasting when he’s talking. Not
many of us ever learn the
trick of engaging the brain
before starting the mouth. If
you don’t think no, you listen

anuff whatever
will ba in style-
campaign gits-4n the short
rows. Then listed t othe folks
that listen to politicians.
Bub one thing that I picked
up that I have saved and used
is that most of what we like
to call the social graces is
worse than useless. To mention
the worse I would say dotbee
styles and go right to table
manners. 1 got to thinking
about manners the other night
when my old lady fixed some
com on the cob, which is cer-
tainly one of the finest items
put on this earth fer man’s en-
joymmt. I would like to see
whoever brought up eating with
one hand go after corn on the
cob, cause it would serve her
right. 1 -
g, believe a man would come up
with a drawback like that, not
even to keep other folks at the
boarding house from grabbing
with both hands faster than he
could. But it was bound to be
a man that made them little
handles you stick in each end
of the ear so you can git at it
better, and it was a man that
ruled on whuther you move
your mouth along the com or
toe ear aorost your mouth. He
said move both to best advan-|
tags.
Practical speaking, Mister
Editor, I went go so far as
fork can do the fingers can do
Setter, and leave less to wash.
B«t I will claim that table
manners has gone downhill ever

While Driving
Another school year is upon
us and thousands of Texas
children are heading to the
classrooms.
- Last year, 92 Texas school
children were killed in auto
predestrian accidents and al-
most 2000 were injured. This
figure is almost double that of
toe previous year. Most of
these deaths and injuries could
have been prevailed if the
driver had been more rsponsive
in watching out for. children.
