good book that has always capt
waited Amt Haggar's Chilluns most
is the saying 1T is NOR
BLESSED TO GIVE THAN T,
RECEIVE and in expoundine
and applying that doctrine, non
has been more skillful than Ain;
Haggar's Chilluns, a fact that ha:
kept Amt Haggar's Chilluns cut o.
a lot of the blessing of giving
because they've mostly contriveG
to be always on the receiving enc
So deeply ingrained in US have
become this idea of always bein.
on the receiving end, that now,
where in lot of cases we can af
ford to give we are still content
with letting the blessing" CT Civ
ing almost completely alone.
thought about what Pm trying tc
say to you-alls while | was in my
favorite corner with my fish ant
beer listening to some of Amt
Haggar's Chilluns talking about
How Much" some of the new oil
rich, and some others mongst Amt
Haggar's Chilluns am paying in
Income Tax to Uncle Sam +.
When l kept on listening to what
| was hearing | could see how,
cause we started off with so little,
we had gotten our thinking so
mixed up as regards this business
CT giving and for a time
almost started thinking that We,
Amt Haggar's Chilluns, had fig
ured it out that the MASTER in
vented that saying 1T is
MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN
TO RECEIVE as a scheme to
help beat somebody out of some
thing for nothing, but of course,
| kept myself from going to such
an extreme. Now fact is though,
that if those amongst us would
study a little more about the art
of giving, and what is meant in
the saying, 1T is MORE BLESSED
TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE,
we'd soon be on higher road in
some of our most cherished insti-
tutions, and programs. And in the
matter of Income Tax particularly,
there's heap of folks amongst
US, who could do a lot of "BLES-
SEQ" giving with a good part of
the money they're paying Uncle
Sam and still not make him mad
and win a bigger and better place
(the Blessings) in the heart of the
folks and from Him who issues
out the blessings.
HE'S NOMINATED: The kats
along the Ole Avenue are being
heard talking about nominating
Brer Edward Lee, the we'll known
hotel man, for the heavyweight

his we'll aimed blows at the chin
of Edgar (Day-go) Ford down in
front of Central Church Sunday
where his "corn" was making him
a clown Hurrah, Hurrah, give
Bro. Lee the nomination for the
Golden Deeds Award.
SOMETHING THAT MADE NE
LAFF: Fellow telling me to never
pay no "'tention tell you see some
action when a fellow comes up
tellin you he amt gonna have moth
ing else to do with his wife or his
girl friend, as the case may be,
cause nine times cutter ten, when
he sees her all dressed up and
looking good, he's gonna git right
after her, to keep some kat that
he don't lack awaw, ef'n fur no
utter reason
PARISH STREETS LONGEST
ARGUMENT: What looks lack it
bout to become the longest argu-
ment mongst the Parish Street
Kats is the argument over the rea-
son why the Elks Lodge continues
to bar Brother Burgess Brooks
from membership, as some fellow
said it'll go on long as Brother
Brooks knows not to bet a pair of
fours1l beat kings back to back I.
