last paragraph is purely optional, and
ielt entirely up to YOU I want say
inns one is imperative, but it truly is
very necessary. You cannot live by
bread alone, and you have to put SOM,

When | was out of work six weeks
ago, was given a chance of this ioh
on trial. If l made good, then good
and we'll. But it is up to YOU to do
your part. The subscriptions inside
of Vance county are we'll taken caro-
of, as YOU all know, and those sub
scrlptlons l cannot bother. But what
concerns me is to get some subs from
1olKS outside the boundaries of Vance.
II you live outside of Vance and your
son or daughter lives across the cricl,.
tell them to mail a sub to me in the
care of this paper. If your ncighbor
does not know how to read and you
do, then promise to teach him to learn

If you live outside of Vance and some
of your folks. live still farther away
and want to keep up with tie home
news, then mail me in sub for them
1t will be lots easier on you than try
ing to write them the news so often.
Some folks actually thought that I
used to receive pay for writing a
twice week column. The sum-total
of all the earnings from all my writ
lngs is the huge amount of two dot
lars and forty cents. The forty cents
was for a poem l wrote when q child.
The two dollars was a composition
prize l received in high school, When
some of you are playing games or
reading or at the movies or cut rid
ing, am sitting down trying to write
this. And if l don't get some more
subs l will never be able to make both
ends meet in the middle.
Enough of that, now let's get dowl
to brass tacks, frlvolity, and foolish
ness. I almost like to have gotten run

If l had it would have been accidental:
suicide as the driver would have been
blameless. I ran right out in front Of
