and say especially in warm wea.
Their: "By their smell we shall
know them," which was a gentle
reminder to all and sundry tina
when warm weather comes it,
time to take a bath more thar
just every Satdee night. Thinking
about what l said then somebody
read what | said, call to remind me
that while l am indulging my fish
and beer, it might also occur to
me that those who would identify
us for the purpose of keeping away
from them as much as possible, and
to keep us away from them as
much as possible; and therefore
make it all the more harder for
US to get out of the she'll in which
tradition and sentiment, made an
cient only by repetition, confine
us and limit our actions and op-
portunity, have more ways than
just zone" of telling where we're
at. / though about what they
said while undergoing my favor
lite Satdee night past-time as /
listen to the newest juke box tune:
COME ON AND GET 1T
That sounded louder and more nau-
seating with each spin of the disc
If the folks don't have but
zone" other way, outside of the
"smell" way of finding where we're
at the Juke Box is sure'n
shootin that zone" away. AS q
rival boy friend once told my wife
before I finally won out 81
knews and everybody knews"
that whenever you hear one OF
them Juke Boxes blaring out with
one of them tunes like COME ON
AND GET 1T it amt nobody
there to listen but Aunt gag
CARS Chilluns and them kind
of tunes is messing us up in more
ways than l can tell, which if !
thought l could I'd know be-
fore got started that . y. the
preachers and teachers
can do a more-better job
But the best joy or keeping away
from us that kind of thing, and
keeping US away from it is a
job we can do ourselves. Them
records are never heard on juke
boxes except where Aunt Haggar's
Chilluns call the tunes ~. 1t looks
like we ought to wake up sometime
and quit buying and paying for
the things that's running US crazy
keeping us down . and
that is one of the biggest weights
around our necks.
