Jackson County had a dis
tinguished visitor Monday night
in the person of James D. Ar
rington, Mayor of Collins. edi-
tor, author, humorist and ma
tionally known after dinner
speaker.
Although the advance re-
lease did not say so, we also
rate him as a philosopher.
Mr.. Arlington spoke at the
Moss Point Young Mems Bus
mess Clubs annual dinner for
business men of that city and
surrounding trade area. He
kept his audience of more than
one hundred in stitches during
the better part of an hour.
We thought, though, that his
talk was worth considerably
more than a series of laughs.
His ideas were fine, and we
thought it a little unfortunate
that perhaps his jokes and
clever delivery will live longer
in the minds of his listeners
than the philosophy.
4 =
Mr.. Arlington is blessed or
cursed, depending upon the out
look, with an Ichabod Crane
sort of appearance, combining
a skinny frame, excessively
long neck, prominent Adams
apple and a partially bald
dome. He has a strickly dead
pan delivery, reminiscent of
both Will Rogers and Bob
Burns, and yet distinctly his
own.
AS they said before the ad-
vent of modern slang, he sure
is a card.
The crowd laughed when he
stood up, they roared when
he began his dry delivery, and
were in stitches when he had
finished his first story. He had
done the same from coast to
coast, rolling them in the aisle
from New York to San Fran
cisco.
But although his talk is
amusing enough to be worth
while in this day of too few
laughs, he has a fine message
and it is with that portion of
the talk that we want to deal
here.
Mr.. Arlington said that we
ire all worrying ourselves into
a national nervous breakdown.
He advised us to quit. He sug-
gested, along this line, that
we post all of our worries dur
ing n day and keep the list
for two weeks. He said a check
then would show that eighty
per cent of the items never
happened or were unimpor-
tant in the first place.
He advised us to have faith
faith in our nation, faith in
our fellow man, faith in our

we're one. Sometimes on Sun
days we would bundle up in
heavy clothes and walk out for
an hour or two in the pale,
frozen sunlight, and would
saunter toward the boatyard.
The slip was frozen over, and
men chopped holes in the ice
and fished for eels with long
spears which they probed into
the mud where the eels were
buried for the winter. Some
times we would see Red stand
ing before his nest feebly chop
ping firewood. He was clothed
in rags. Occasionally we would
pass and hear the sound of his
coughing from the inside. 1t
strained human belief to think
that an old man past seventy
could live so exposed to the
elements and survive.
But Red survived that win
ter as he had the thirty other
winters since his mother had
died and left him, an abandon
ed child of forty years or so,
with no home and no one to
take care of him.
What went on in the old
mans mind, no one could guess.
But the truth was that he did
not want friends, he did not
want comfort, he did not want
anyone to take care of him. 1t
was as though he felt that old
Mother Earth had become his
parent, and that nothing would
suit him but to live upon her
hard bounty beneath the open
sky until the end of his DAYS.
When the summer came, Red
thawed out and rowed out on
the sound again to dig clans.
rowed with an easy, effort
less choppy stroke, without a
wasted motion. His scrawny
old arms pushed the skiff up
and down the coast for miles,
and at night he would come
back with a little pile of shiny
black CLAIMS. But toward the
end of the summer, Red seemed
to grow feeble and he did not
fish much.
When the first cold spell of
winter came, Red got pneumo-
mia. The welfare authorities
same and carried him to the
county hospital. He survived
this attack, and when he was
on his feet again, they brought
him to the old mems home to
live out his last days.
One day Red walked through
the gates and went back to his
tarpaulin in the boatyard. He
got sick again, and once more
the welfare people came and
brought him to the hospital.
When he was well, he did the
same thing. And this time they
let him stay.
In mid-winter, lying in the
darkness of his little nest, his
coughing and tortured breath
ing were so loud they could be
heard from the street. Once
more the county hospital came
for him. And this time, Red
did not come back. He died of
pneumonia and was buried in
potter's field.
The fact that he had survived
thirty winters of such a life
until he died of old age-for it
was old age which did for him
even more than the pneumonia
was a fete that seems hard to
believe. But it sheds some light
on the real endurance of the
human species, and makes more
understandable the survival of
the race dlfrinp the leo Aoes

We used to see Red pulling

ching around the sand and
muck with his clam rake at low

the old man had a standard of
living almost exactly the same
as the Stone Age Savages whose
remains are found on the shores
of Southern France and along
the Swiss lakes. They fished
and dug clans, just as he did:
they padded in small boats.

best, IN crude shelters Of tree

built more comfortable places
than the one Red lived in.
