NIGHT: l used to hear my grand
ma talk about how Aine Haggar's
Chillun used too at certain times,
back FOUNDER befo surrender, tell
old Marse Use Gwine'ta Pray'fur
Yuh, and expression the'd make
with kinder PARKWAY and pro-
ghetto look in the eye. 1t was a
remark never made til Ole Marse,
some where along the line had got
off first base, so-to-speak {.
And 'cordin to Grandma them,
Use Gwine'ta Pray fur Yuh, re-
marks was oftentimes followed by
some unexpected bad luck of one
kind or another for Ole Marse :.
and it go so, befo surrender, and
even since that time, that when
ever Ole Marse heard one of Aine
Haggar's Chillun talking about
praying for him he'd git around
and try to give up something and
git himself Strengthened out to
keep from Citing prayed for. /
was reading in the papers this
week bout that Senator Mccarthy
up FOUNDER in Washington who
looks lack he gotta pick-at every
body who wants Aine Haggar's
Chillun to have lack, and be treat
ed lack, everybody else. From
what rooI - looLc 1,ol, Couotor
Mccarthy, who only teches first
base now and then is done ruined
into some bad luck with that Army
Secretary Stevens. | was think
ing bout where Mister Stevens
got the nerve to buck-up agin Sem
ator Mccarthy while | was set
ting down eating my Feesh and
drinking my beer and from time
to time listening as Aine Haggar's
Chillun talked of the coming of
spring and gittin ready for Easter
Sunday, when all of-a-sudden it
jumped in my mind bout what
my grandma used to tell me bout
how Aine Haggar's Chillun used
to pray fur Ole Marse, back youn-
der for Surrender and if
Senator's bad luck holds out lack
it's done got started, from what
my grandma used to say it'll be
because he's been Citing a whole
lotta prayers sent up fur him by
a whole lotta Aine Haggar's Chill
lun.

THEY'RE GROWING IMPATI-
ENT: Friends of Mrs. Wallace out
on Pascagoula st. and showing
signs of impatients waiting for
her to come home so she can tell
how she talked to those stick-up
men who recently invaded the home
of her son, Randolph Wallace,
wealthy Detroit hotel owner, and
held her and her daughter-in-law
at the point of guns while they
took an expensive mink coat and
some valuable jewelry. Mrs. Wal
lace was on her way home the
other day but got as far as Chicago
and turned around and went back
