JIGHT: Being such to the ups and
towns of daily living more'n any
>ody else, Aine Haggar's Chillun,
s given to rationalizing the situa-
ion to suit the times, and way
,ack yonder they invented the say
ing: THINGS AMT LACK THEY
JSED TO BE :. was setting
lown eating my fish and drinking
my beer, and knowing the MEM
5er of the tribe lack l do | wasn't
1T all surprised when somebody,
also indulging their Satdee night
repast, brought up the subject of
how come Prime Minister Winston
Churchill is back over here talking
lack he is about what he's talkin'
bout which don't sound 'zackly lack
t did when he comes over here dat
time and done some talking at dat
school up yonder in Missouri
Sometimes | have noted while eat
ing my fish and drinking my beer,
Aine Haggar's Chillun will bring
up them heavy subjects but won't
hang onto 'em for very long
it was lack dat in the case of Sir
Winston Churchill, who comes back
to git with President Eisenhower
and starts talking bout Citing rid
dem communists . the conversa-
tion got started off as lively as
usual till somebody brings up them
Con munists, a subject which Aine
Haggar's Chillun don't know much
about and care less but
in this case they seemed for the
moment to be a little worked up
cause a great man like Mr.. Church
i'll, after coming over here Citing
US stirredup against them COM
munists, is now done come back,
as one of Aine Haggar's Chillun
said, to try and git us and the
communists un-stirred One
question that always comes up
'mongst Aine Haggar's Chillun is
HOW COME? and it
wasn't long before somebody asks
how come you-alls reckon Mister
Churchill hisself, being old lack he
is had to come way ober here to
talk about dat in unconcealed
haste to bring the weighty subject
to a close, the answer came back
riding on the sound of the question
Well, | reckon de reason Mis-
ter Churchill done come back over
here is cause :. THINGS AMT
LACK DEY USED TO BE.
THAT OLE BIRD that car
lies in his bill that little old heart
warming and family-cementing
bundle has just presented one to
young Mr.. and Mrs. Buster Banks.
lisa boy, and everybody is
well and happy. although among
the two it'll be hard to tell whose
chest is stuck out most Earl
Banks, the baby's grandpa. or ole
man j. A. Stewart, his great great
grandpa.
CONCERN ENDED: Last week
there was much concern among
family and friends over the fate of
Sammy Rundles, we'll known Far
ish Streeter, who had disappeared
late one night as if sucked-up by
some eerie creature of the night
f. to remain unheard from for
several days He's back now
. He says, so I'm told that he
woke up in Vickshurg the first day,
took another one, went back to
sleep, woke up, took another one,
went back to sleep, and so on until
he finally stayed wake long enough
to think about coming home.
ALONG THE OLE AVE: Zelma
Love back from the Big Windy
where everybody is talking about
times is hard, driving a big black
Chrysler Fudge "FOOTS"
Moore, back from down at Natchez
with a brand new Pontiac to en-
hance his role as the towns num-
Der one lady's man.
UNCONFIRMED PORT:
Folks keep coming by to tell me
that Malvin "Zeke" Mickens, one
time Parish Streeter cxtra-ordi-
nary, who first went up to the Big
Windy and later moved out to l..
A. is dead and buried frankly
thew all seems so confused about
where he died, where he was buried
until I'm still listening to it as an
unconfirmed report.
