PARISH STREET SATURDAY
! NIGHT: 1t is generally agreed
! that the discussion of money draws
an attentive audience whether the
said subject being aired on the
reclining slopes Of the Congo
River, or the noisy border table
in the back of a smoke filled cafe,
where two high hamburgers are
showed gracefully across the boards
by a waitress who had none of the
qualifications for the position save
the quenchless thirst for money,
which incidently, was the topic
for conversation where we gath
cred with the brothers about noon
time last Saturday. 1t was noted
that none of US had an abundance
of the stuff we were discussing,
which, Of course made us all au-
thorities on the meanings of ac-
quiring, saving, and general usage
of the long green stuff with the
short future. After everyone pres
ent had bored everyone else with
how. he's made and lost a fortune
three or four times, we started
telling the truth, and as usually
happens, we came to an harmoni-
Gus agreement as the last bottle
of frosted beer was parked by
| the aforementioned waitress. The
one thing that all Of the brothers
/ of the Saturday session was a.
greed on, was that there is moth
ing evil about money. If you
think there is, try getting along
without it for a week or two. Try
telling your butched that you can't
pay for the steak he just cut be-
cause you don't have any of that
evil stuff called money, or better
still, when you're in church Sun
day, drop a note in the collection
plate, saying that's money and that
the deacons should be ashamed of
; themselves for encouraging such
a practice in church. Or, tell the
rent man, telephone man. light
man, gas man, insurance man i.
tell anybody. Tell them that you
have concluded that money is evil
and you shall not be found in its
company, or it in yours, and see If
you can win a single convert to
your side of the argument. Now,
it was agreed that certain people
take money and do evil things with
it, and that there are evil ways OF
getting it was affirmed.
But now the brothers shook
hands on it, and you can believe
it or not, but there amt one thing
evil about money, and the sooner
the brothers and sisters wake up
to the point where they lays a
little by every now and then :.
the better.

DO SOMETHING FOR A KID:
This Friday night all little kids
can go in the wrestling match up
at the City Auditorium FREE"
If you are a real man and know
some little kid that's never been
to a thing like that, find one and
take him to the match. You don't
know how much kick you'll get
out of just seeing his eyes sparkle.

haven, and up in Louisville, will

or other group want to raise some
money any where in Mississippi
lust write to the editor and he'll
answer, or come and see you and

SAY MISS GOOD LOOKING:
| I had to laff the other day when
along comes one Of the best OF
models of the pulchritude Of Aine
Haggar's Children when one OF
the brothers said as she passed
"hey, Good-Looking" :. and she
kept walking, didn't look back, and
never said a mumbling word :.
