STREET.
BY PERCY GREENE
PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: It. was a long time before
/ was able 70 put any value on the
things that Grandma used to say
to me, and the things that l used
to hear her saying about Aine
Haggar's Chillun while I'd be set
ting underneath our front gallery
eavesdropping as she talked to my
mother about what was going-on
'mongst the members Of the tribe
in our neighborhood used to
hear her warning against run
ming things in the ground" and
often times l heard her level that
charge 1T whsk had went on the
hight before, the day before, or the
week before, T. the church, or some
Of the other places where Aine
Haggar's Chillun would gather and
give vent to their thoughts and
emotions mostly their emo
tons -. What made me think
about Whist my Grandma used to
say about running things in the
ground" was that while l was set
ting down drinking my beer and
eating my fish I got to thinking
about the Mccarthy hearing now
going on up in Washington. which
Is giving more'n more evidence
that white folks and cullud folks
(meaning Aine Haggar's Chillun)
As 9ittin more'n more lack one
nuther everyday While I was
,kettin there thinking about Brother
MCCARTHY and his three man crowd,
the effects of my fish and beer
Fled to more opening up of the mind
rs l started wondering how Broth
Or Mccarthy is gone to worryin
everybody, AMI Citing close to ruin
ing everything it amt nobody
seemed to have found no ways to
stop EN- before he's done broke
his owA neck, after he's finished
breaking Uncle Sans neck {.
Turning back 50 the days when l
used to iatep to Grandma, / could
see Why that Mccarthy mess is
still eoin9-on, it jess amt nobody
up there lack Grandma, who
heard break up a whole-lot more
threatening If not more important
arguments and disputes by jess git
ting up and saying, Looka Hyar,
thatsa huff of that mess, cause
now you amt doing nothing but
running it In the ground"
WONDER WHAT'SRS STORY
-. Walking down the Ole Ave-
rue the other day l heard some
body yelling ~ got a story for
you" and when l looked to see who
it was I saw Clarence Greene sit
ting on the back seat of the car
'wftA the wife, that he left behind
when all Of sudden he went to
Chicago and a certain lady
Fab driver became one Of the miss
ling persons along the Ole Avenue
Iat the same time :. l believe
the car had got too far away for
him to hear me boiler, don't tell
lit to me brother, tell it to her i
