Dear Advertiser Readers:
AS time passes more and more feel
that we, the generation that "camc

Justly with in our literature. Our
reading books" were northern made,
edited by northern authors and of
course anything OF the literature that
had the distinct flavor of the South
was omitted from our school currica
lum. We had good poetry in the read
crs that we loved for they are now
closely identified with our childhood
but so far as knowing that the South
