AM YOUR FRIEND WHEN
SORROW STEPS IN.
H. l.. Denton a self made man
Is a born undertaken man you see
He worked his way the people
helped him
So his funeral chapel is free.
He invites his friends to come and
see him
His smiles are yet on his face
God blessed him with a funeral
home of his own
And he moved to, his new place.
On the corner of Woodrow and
Lilly
His funeral home is just a dream
One Pontiac, two Cadillacs and a
pick up truck
And his rolling stock is all clean.
He is known all over the city
And the country for miles around
He is the same Bro. H. L. Denton
Just in another part Of the town.
He is looking for all his people
To come out and take look around
He is ready to serve all of his
people
In the country and also in town.
You stood by me for many years
| am prepared for you again
With my funeral home and burial
contract
Waiting to enroll your names.
My son is prepared to help me
1t is father, son and wife
To serve all of my people in sorrow
When one has passed out of this |
life. Il
Ny hearts desire is for all of my |
friends
To come and bring a new one
along
Ny funeral chapel is prepared for
To take sadness out of your home.
The wake can be in the chapel
And the funeral attended also
So H. L. Denton and family
Is there to help share all of your |
sorrow.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Thanksgiving time is a
time whose very beginning and
history makes folks start to fig
uring out what they got to be
thankful for when Thanksgiving
Day comes round, and despite
some misgivings here and there
on the subject, Thanksgiving Day,
which is the oldest and an essen
TALLY American holiday, means as
much to Aine Haggar's Chillun
as to any other of the tribes that
got started first with Abraham,
and got their second start with
Noah when he come outta the Ark,
who now call themselves one hun
dred percenters, meaning that they
claim to be kin to some of them
folks that got off the boat up at
Plymouth Rock where they had
the first Thanksgiving Day !.
but the history says that a fellow
named Pedro was navigating one
of the ships that got here a little
before the first Thanksgiving Day
helping to point the way to the
promised land, Pedro or whatever
his name was was with Columbus
and being member of the Tribe
of Haggar's gives all of Aine Hag-
gar's Chillun claim to being one
hundred percent of whatever is
one hundred percent in these
United States regardless of tribe
and this later day tripe in one
hundred percentism Having
come through the valleys and the
shadows, and dwelled in a land
where he was forced to make brick
without straw, and still sojourning
in what appears to be the wilder
ness, with the river before him
whose waters are being hit by the
staff of justice still refusing to
roll back so that he can cross
over into the promised land,
Thanksgiving time is the only time
which finds Aine Haggar's Chill
lun kinda down in the mouth i.
When you hear the members of
the tribe asking the question what
is us got to be thankful for :.
| heard it again while l was set
ting down eating my fish and
drinking my beer, but what perked
me up was the reply from fell
low that looked as tho all he
thought about was quitting time,
pay day, and Satdee mite, who
said, We can be thankful that we
are here in these United States
where we can keep our eyes on
the promised land where we can
watch the waters being slowly
rolled back so we can cross over.

About Your Home

The playhouse-not exclusively
for children-ls a new kind of
American luxury Usually. this new
type of house places great en-
phasiS on entertaining.
Some playhouses are large
enough to handle fifty to sixty
people for a drop-in and have
several bedrooms to house the
overnight guests. However. the
ownership of such houses is limit
ed to a small. affluent group.
The type playhouse gaining fa-
vor all over the country is a COM
bination detached den and sum-
smer house. 1t is usually located far
enough way from the main living
quarters to afford a bit more
privacy for the family.
Such houses should be equipped
with a stove and icebox to really
utilize its possibilities You can
use 1t for informal dinners. dances
or to have few friends in for a
| drink.
The children of the family will
enjoy it for their parties-especial-
ly teenagerS. They like to get
away from the grownups and what
better place to have them than in
your own backyard where you can
at least. keep a watchful eye OF
them.
If you are thinking of adding a
den to your home. you might give
some thought to a playhouse, in
