NIGHT: Looks lack that subject
OF youth delinquency what woke
when they started letting little boys
put on long pants, and started lit
tie girls to wearing high-heel shoes
and painting their lips and cheek
bones before the little boys or the
little girls had had time to learn
sense enough to know the meaning
OF self respect, after somebody who
got they self eddycated huff to
think they had more sense than
Solomon started writing in the
books what got started to being
teeched in the schools that the
best way to raise younguns is to
let 'em have free will, or act lack
they want to, but don't never hit
'em, is still got folks worried cause
younguns nowadays is doing ever
thing ceptn what they ougha be
doing and won't listen to nobody,
least of all they mas and pas,
what make me feel worse than l
did the last time / got too full of
the ferment Of the vine (last
Xmas) is when I hears some kids
ma or pa saying =. . YOU KNOW
/ CAN'T MAKE MY CHILD DO
MUFFIN generally said with
some kinda half-smile to give the
impression, as the saying goes
'mongst the Hep Kats that MY
CHILD is REAL GONE 4
was setting down eating my fish
and drinking my beer and think
ing bout what l read where Jersey
Joe Walcott the one world heavy
weight champion, a man whose
done raised flock of children, and
who is now an officer working on
this youth delinquency business,
gives out what is the worlds best
remedy, l know lack Joe cause it
was tried out on me, and l tried it
out on mine. what he says had been
said by King Solomon and all the
wisest folks in the world, that is
before these late ones come along.
and that is that the best medicine
for curing youth delinquency is
STRAP MEDICINE only diff
ference with me was that when l
was boy my ma and my pa added
wet ropes, sticks-of -stove-wood,
and as Mama used to say 7. the
first thing-I-get-my- hand-on /
After / set there with my fish and
teer bordering over what Jersey
Joe said, which is wisdom and not
eddication l couldn't help but think
ing how come people can't see that |
If you put the kids back in short |
pants, and the little girls in low !
heel shoes and help 'em along |
with plenty of STRAP MEDICINE
-. there soon won't be so much !
worrying bout youth delinquency.
ALONG THE OLE AVENUE: |
Those folks everybody was wonder
ing about last week seen up and
down the Ole Avenue in that pink |
Cadillac was Mr.. and Mrs. C. B.. |
Bailey, and Mr.. F. Dubois, of New
Orleans, guests of Mr.. and Mrs. |
Henry Lee and Miss Nell Simpson !
Lightfoot out on West Pearl while |
in town.
NEW TIDBIT: Those two his
tory medals presented at Jim Hill |
Junior and Jim Hill Senior High |
School Commencement were from
the local Raft Humphrey Chapter,
of the Daughters Of the American !
Revolution.
GOOD ADVICE: A young lady
with extra-good shaped upper and
lower legs put on some of the
extra-short shorts the other day,
and got ashamed when she thought
she was being looked at kinda
hard, when a friend says to her,
Girl, if you can't stand for the
men to look at you you ought not |
put on them things and come /
out where the men can see you.
WEEKLY QUOTATION: "If
men and women are to understand
each other, to enter into each
others nature with mutual SYM
pathy, and to become capable of
genuine comradeship, the founda-
ton must be laid in youth. Hay
