THIS WEEK IS startin’ off
on a low ebb; nothin’ in the
papers to git excited about.
There was the usual amount of
car wrecks and people bein’
killed. Will we ever learn to
drive more careful, and git
wise to the way of the world?

though, if wise men had been
in control of our government
in Washington in past years,
the communists never woula
have gained control of China.
Neither would we have lost the
Korean War, nor would Castro
be master of Cuba. Until we
can put more mature and better
developed minds in charge of
our government, communism
will cotinue to spread.
