nue. starts talking bout what good
do letting 'em go to school till
the graduate DOZEN l wasn't
a-tall surprised when that was the
general trend of the conversations
going-on around me while l sat in
my favorite spot drinking my beer
and eating my Fish On thing
about what l heard was in some
ways whole lot different from
what Aine Haggar's Chillun used
to talk about when they were rails
ing the question What's the
use of sending 'em to school.
listen carefully to get the drift
of what was being said, and |
wont say that l was surprised
when | heard what I'd been having
to run across my mind a whole
lot here lately and that was
that when Aine Haggar's Chillun
graduates from college, especial
ly them of the male breed he's
a number-one "white-collar man."
because the highest level at which
his sights have been raised while
tending the college is to be doc
tor, dentist, and school teacher i.
They've quit wanting to be preach
ers and they are still being
scared" away from becoming law
yers Cause the 'fessor says,
there amt no "Cullud" lawyers
that can plead no cases and win'em
in the courts and they jess
amt interested in no kinda role
up-your-sleeves and go to work
jobs, which while | was listening
to what was being said lead me to
the conclusion that Aine Haggar's
Chillun is mostly being graduated
"away from" the kinda world that
we're living in there's all
kinda jobs and vocations out of
which a living can be made that
Aine Haggar's Chillun in the col
leges and schools Amt never heard
Of, and because of the Greek Let
ter" atmosphere they're most in
clined to turn-up their noses at
such things, which makes them
hold their heads so high that they
can see the bullying pocket-books of
them that have ventured out of
the three main categories that /
mentioned above. AS one fellow
said while l was listening Aine
Haggar's Chillun is gonna be :.
starving to death (the College
Graduates / Mean standing up
before the mirrow tying their
neck-ties and putting on their fra
ternity pins if somebody don't hur-
ry-up and start telling 'em that
there's something else to make a
living with outside of practicing
medicine, dentistry, and teaching
school Now, don't git mad wild
me when you-alls read dis cause
Pm jest trying to tell what / heard
while l was eating my Fish and
drinking my beer.

WEEKLY QUOTATION: "The

in this country proceeds to ignore
the needs and desires of the mi

leges will mark the failue Of our
