Swift Proton - Boneless
CHUCK ROAST
We lost an old friend the other day. We were not close
and had not, in fact, ever met, but we knew the family well
and it is one of our favorites. We refer to the fall and demise
of the chinaberry tree at the corner of Mickey Porterfield's
house over the weekend. Chinaberry is just about the best
tree that ever was for kids; we would have never made it
through our childhood days without them. In our youth it
sheltered us, etc. Chinaberries had endless uses: they could
be carved into various shapes and designs even with a dull
knife; they could be strung into bracelets or necklaces; the .
berries were simply excellent for minor shooting with a
flipper; strings could be used in endless wall and room*.,
decorations; and, a handful thrown down from an upper
stairway or window on an old tin-top car made such a noise
tnat it was practically guaranteed to bring the vehicle to a
skidding stop. The wood is somewhat brittle but our old tree
nevertheless supplied us with bows and arrows, spears, fuel
for little bonfires, and small bits of lumber for whatever the
building occasion called for. The trees grow in a superb
umbrella shape, unmatched for grateful shade in those
non-air-conditioned days. The branches are low, spreading,
and sturdy, ideal for climbing expeditions. To us, at least,
our chinaberry was not so much a tree as a part of our
childhood. We don’t see them much any more. And more’s
the pity: youngsters of today miss so much, don’t they!
One of our employers, Mr. R.B. Palmer, publisher of the
Mt. Pleasant Tribune writes a daily comment column for
that paper which we read regularly and with interest. A
recent suggestion struck us as eminently feasible. It had to
do with Linus' habit of thumb-sucking, which Mr. Palmer
endorses as a means of losing weight. The proposal is based
on the theory that many who overeat do so only to have
columnist asks. A few germs jpaybe, but guaranteed
calor^s!

“The proposed ZIP code

“In addition, technical
issues are still unresolved;
there has been a failure in
planning to distinguish be-
tween the need for more
sophisticated machinery and
the need for additional ZIP
digits; and there has been no
study of alternatives, such
as providing incentives to
business mailers to imprint
special bar-coding on billing to waste the taxpayers' mo-
'and-reply mail, a particular- ney, and in most instances
ly glaring ommission since the taxpayer is the last
the real target of the extra person to be consulted. It is

Has anyone else noticed the verboten subjects in the
news media? We refer to those items which arouse violent "
reprisal and vicious rebuttal from those of a contrary view,
often the radical chic devotees. One is the matter of capital |
punishment: it is engraved in stone that nothing favorable |
report from a study last week that a well-publicized |
execution of a criminal does in fact have a brief deterrant |
effect on capital crimes has brought forth a howl of protest.
It is the same with the matter of anti-gun control. Senator gi-:. J
•Kennedy and his followers have decreed that pro-control w:;:l
outpourings will carry the day. The entire Kennedy clan I
turned several shades of red when the Senator was caught ■:$:!
sending out gun control propaganda on his offici^L-Sgl
stationery. These folks are ecstatic that in the Senator’s
home state of Massachusetts the nation’s toughest gun law ■ |
has reduced firearm homicides. What is hard to find is the J® I
statistics showing that homicide by other means, such as
knives, daggers, clubs, and such assorted weapons, has risen ■ <|
to a point where there are actually more murders in that
state rather than fewer. But that sort of news is just hard to r
find, ain’t it? ________________ 'Ul

Aw, shucks! What sends the old-timers into sort of apoplexy
