Life Begins At 62
By George B. Russ

Trie sight of a ghost could
not have unstrung Miss Madie
as much as she was when she
recognized the couple leaving
the Market and Grocery Store.
She wanted to drop dead right
here in the cab of Will Deal's
Sausage van, but the reason for
messing up the inside of a
beautiful machine like this was
a poor excuse, therefore she
postponed knocking herself
out. Hiding from the pair
standing on the wide porch of
the store, grinning up at the
sun like two dunces on a stool,
was, to her way of thinking,
going to an awful lot of trouble
for two old vultures; so, she let
the idea get lost Inside her
adled brain.
Will called to her and she
flung the door of the van open
and skidaddled around the
truck like the "southern going
north." She wanted to shut
him up before he attracted the
attention of her "used to m-.
friends."
She was about to ask him,
"what in the name of God he
wanted," but "shorty-pants"
grinned up to her, with his
goo-goo eyes shining like new
money; and, asked her if he
could bring her anything from
the store. She felt cheapened
by his generosity and grabbed
up a couple of boxes and
sausage; "the least I can do is
help you with this load when
we are ready to do for this
place what the devil has never
done, I'll shop around ablt. I
don't fool with neighborhood
stores -their stuff is high and
most of the time it has been on
hand much too long. "
The expression on Will
Deal's face was nothing short
of bewilderment; and, if he had
called her a babbling old fool,
she would have taken the insult
like the food woman she was
supposed to be; "snap out of
your trance, fellow. Standing
around looking up at the sun
isn't getting milk for th' baby"
She offered as a tease. She
didn't have to I reckon about
it, if anyone had said that to
her, she would have been
mortally wounded, and, if
"push came to shove" she
would have been ready to "pull
teeth with the best of em."
Will Deal blushed like a
child when he is highly praised,
more than likely for something
he isn't worthy of. He said,
blowing through his nose like a
bull, "I've been watching you
for-ah-long time. I used to
think you was one of th most
stuckuppish women God ever
put breath In." .'
Miss Madie, naturally, could
not have "shorty-pants" saying
such nice things about her
without letting him know that
she was still stuckuppish if she
had the occasion to turn on the
Perkins' CLASS; "Ink, stink,
tobacco stink." Her voice
suddenly snapped off, because,
she realized what she was
bout to sav. Then she burst
into sporadic laughter; "mama
always told me, I got more
mouth than ah country sow's
got hips- but right now is th'
SgTtime I evah thought much
about the saying."
The woman's laughter made
Will feel good; a happy woman
was like money in the bank.
Miss Madie was not a pretty
woman by along shot, but she
was beautiful like the
sun-flower with its face
following the sun. She could
make the right man a good
wife and, momentarily, he
wondered if he was the right
man. "How come you never
married, Miss Madie?"
"Fools feed on foolishness,
Mister Will, and trying to figger
out why ah woman ain't never
married is pure 'n simple,
foolishness. Telling th' truth
wont set this critter free but to
pass the time of day, I'll tell
you th' truth-I ain't never
been asked." Her face beamed
with a smile, however, beneath
the glow, throns pricked her
heart.
Man like, Will Deal brushed
off the admission with a good
natured chuckle; "here, take
this box and follow this hand
truck."
Miss Madie accepted the
box and ',. man
pushi ng the hand truck stacked
nigh with boxes or Dears rorn
Sausaee-link and pattie style.
She had forgotten Jeff Boykins
and Bella McDougai standing
on the porch of the country
store. The couple was standing
in the shade of bean hampers
on the low end of the porch
and when Miss Madie stepped
onto the porch, Jeff Boykins
called to her; "Miss Madie
Perkins, I'd like to have a word
with you, that is, if your friend
don't mind."
Miss Madie didn't give a
hang about her friend and she
left his side and headed straight
for the tall, handsome man.
The heels of her slippers made
a clicking sound on the sun
parched boards of the porch as
she crossed it to where Jeff
Boykins stood waiting for
her she was a wee-bit
frightened but did not let this
emotion slow her down; then,
she heard Will Deal's coarse
voice; Miss Madie Perkins-you
kin hobo your way over
there, rn pay your way
back. "-Continued.

HAITI ASKS A&Ts ASSISTANCE
IN OPENING NEW PILOT TOWN
GREENSBORO, N. C.
Three administrators of A&T
State University are in
Port-Au-Prince, Haiti to
explore the possibility of the
university assisting in the
establishment of a unique
experimental town on that
tiny island.
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy,
chancellor of A&T, said the
group has been invited by the
Haitian officials to discuss the
cooperative concept, as well
as several other cooperative
arrangements between the
university and the developing
country.
Accompany rv Dowdy
will be Dr. Burleigh Webb,
dean of the School of
Agriculture at A&T; and Dr.
William Reed, the university's
diplomat in residence.-. -,!;
Webb said, if approved,
the experimental city would
be a pilot community of
approximately 1,000 families.
"When people migrate
from the rural areas into the
cities, " said Webb, "this often
causes many problems which
Settles are not able to cope
He said the idea of the
pilot community would be to
locate agricultural areas in
very close proximity to the
urban area, so that all of the
people would not congregate
within the city.
"This project," said Webb,
"would seek a greater
cooperation between
industry, agriculture and the
people."
Dowdy said the A&T
delegation will also talk with
Haitian officials about the
possibility of establishing a
cultural exchange to sponsor
the first exhibit of Haitian art
in this country.
He said A & T s
involvement in the pilot
project would possibly be in
the training of seniors and
graduate students in
community development and
in the delivery of needed t
services within the
community.
While in Haiti, the
educators will also attend 1,1.
conference on "Health
Problems in Developing
Countries." The conference is
being sponsored by the
International Committee for
Applied Studies inv,
