Our preacher talked fer a
hour or two Sunday morning on
the younger generation. I dozed
off toward the end but I gath-
ered he was a little down heart-
ed aout ’em. He allowed as
how they could operate any-
tning from a juke box to a air-
plane but couldn't learn how to
run a sewing machine, a lawn
mower or a hay baler. He also
said that, judging from what he
saw Johnay reading, it might
be a God’s blessing if Johnny
couldn’t read. When it come
to the kids in college, he said

ington 26, D. C.
o-------
a heap of them was just at-
I don't think that actual
there's any more devilment
amongest the kids today than
they was when I was a boy. Now
they all got cars and they just
spread it faster over more terri-
tory. And 1 know of at least
one college that ain’t gone to
the dogs. 1 was reading a
piece in the papers last week
i where a Senate committee, in-
vestigating waste of manpower
in the Army, found a soldier
that was a college graduate
mowing the lawn in a Army
cemetery. That might look
bad fer the Army, but it looks
might good fer that college this
boy come from. There ain't
many colleges this day and time
where he’d git the know-how
to mow a lawn.
Speaking of lawns, 1 see
where the American Institute of
Science says that this atom ra-
diation business has no effect
on crab grass. I could've told
them scientists long ago that
God put crab grass on earth to
stay. You can call it wire grass
or wild grass or any name you
like, but you can't git rid of
it. You can plow it under, burn
it, hoe it, beat it with a stick,
cum it, pray over it, but it’ll be
back next year. Of course,
if the Guvernment would make
it a valuable cash crop, the in-
sects and a couple of blights
would wipe it out, but aside from
that the only way you can git
rid of it is to move off and ,
leave it. If them scientists ever
come up with somepun that'll kill ,
crab grass, I don’t want to be ,
here to see it. Mister Editor.
It’ll mean the end of civilization
ain’t fur off.
I see by the papers where Sen-
ator Byrd says some feller wan-
dered into the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture. It might
be a good idea if the Congress
would conduct a survey ever
year to find out how many
Guvernment employees in Wash-
ington is in the right depart-
ment Under the Fifth Am-
endment, of course, it might
not be possible to move ’em.
Yours truly,
Uncle Bud
