PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Where there is no vision
the people perish is an age old say
ing that l bound you is more mis-
understood than almost any other
of the ancient sayings that have
come up to register and record the
growth Of knowledge and under
standing among the folks of this
earth. In general, everytime l hear
that saying, about there is no vision
the people perish, | get the idea,
from the way that it's being said,
that what them that's saying it
means is that everybody, that is
every single person Of the people
must have vision. l got the same
idea when | heard that saying
again being lusidated on by some
Parish Streeters, speaking about
the opportunities of the times now
being afforded the members of the
khan of Aunt Haggar's Chilluns.
But, the more | hear that saying,
and the more | think about it, which
has lately become more and more
often, believe that amongst Aunt
Haggar's Chilluns, that idea about
all of the people having to have
vision to keep the people from per-
ishing is 100 per cent wrong. If
Aunt Haggar's Chilluns fails to
take advantage of the opportuni-
ties now being opened up for them
to forge ahead, it won't be be-
cause all of the folks didn't have
no vision, but; it will be because
the leaders of the folks didn't have
no vision. Right now, in most of
the areas where opportunity to
forge ahead is everywhere becom-
ing more and more in evidence,
where there amt no vision is mostly
among the leaders. Fact is far as
I'm concerned, it looks like THE
PEOPLE, that is amongst Aunt
Haggar's Chilluns, already have a
whole lot more vision than the lead
ers have. And the more | look at
it, the more I'm convinced that it
ainst nothing much to that propo-
sition that, where there is no vision
the people perish. WHERE THERE
is NO VISION AMONG THE
LEADERS THE PEOPLE
PERISH.

A certain lady from Washington,
D. c., the nations Capital is here

WEEKLY QUOTATION: Bold
ness is a child of ignorance and
baseness, far inferior to other
parts. But, nevertheless, it doth
fascinate, and bind hand and foot
those that are either shallow in
judgment or weak in courage, which
are the greatest part, yea, and
prevalent with wise men at weak
pooan
