"When a bit of kindness hits ye,
After a passing cloud,
When a bit of laughter gits ye,
An' yer spine is feeling proud,
Don't forget to up and fling it
At a soul that's feeling blue,
For the moment that you sling it
It's a boomerang to you . .
The following is for boys only,
and just to play it safe read it
backwards: Didn't you if girls be
wouldn't you, this read would you
knew we
If you think the youngsters of
today do not know the value of
money try giving them a nickel.
Even the hard-boiled egg has a
heart of gold.
When everything else fails us
including aspirin and all manner
of advice, it sometimes helps to
spend a day in the fields or pas-
tures alone—alone except for God
and the many products of His
creation.
Do you remember when the only
reds were red flannels, and when
men dressed for the evening they
put on night shirts? If your an-
swer is yes then you have more to
worry about than the draft.
Its easy to hit the top, especial-
ly if you are in a dark attic.
After all is said and done, times
may not have changed so much
in the last hundred years. After
listening to the Westerner talk,
the Easterner asked, "Does youse
guys say there's gold in them
thar hills?"
The Ex-Southerner listened to
some Easterners talking and said:
"Does you'all say there's votes in
them thar bills?"
Not for the world would we
want to foe called a poor farmer,
but after the recent rainy spell
we counted twenty some odd dif-
ferent kinds of things growing
in one field in just a round or bo
of plowing. All of these were types
that didn' belong in a well kept
crop. . . .
Some people are expecting me
to write about my new grandbaby
this time, and that we don't mind
one bit. Since writing the last
column the wonderful thrill of be-
ing a grandfather came to us a-
gain. Even though some folks say
we look older and get around
more cautiously than before we
don't mind a bit. Without a doubt
this is the most wonderful thing
that can happen to anyone.
Some people might doubt the
following but upin my word it is
true: When we went up to see
him for the first time and rushed
down to the nursery we had some
diffiiclty reading the nurses hand-
writing as to names, dates and
sizes, but when we got around to
picking out the most handsome
one in the lot there was no pro-
blem at all. . . .
