p=-1 i (BY JULES) I TAKE THEE George and Marina, just a boy and a girl like millions of other Georges ar.d Marinas for centu ries past, and centuries to come promised to love, honor and obey. It’s th3 same the world over, is honestly spoken, whether the set ting is Westminister Abbey or in humbler circumstances. The two who take the vows, voicing their love and faith in each oth er must answer exact y in the same degree; if they fail or make a success of their hopes and dreams. Consider, and think deep ly, before you say “I take thee”. SHORT GRAZING Regardless of how much you possess in wor dly goods at the present time, it is much less than you had some years back. Each and ev ry one has been forced to retrench. The billionaire be. - came a mill onaire, the millionaire became the “well fixed” man, and the “well fixed” man became the worried, harrassed individual, and the average man became a “wolf1 dodger” became destitute, and the former destitutes became “des tituler ’. The point is, have all people or any one person .earn ed anything while on “short graz ing” or w 11 we) as a whole be led back again for sage grass ra - tions ? THESE UNWANTED BONES If a law were tob e passed, and there is a rumor go ng about that such a law m:ght be, that every one over sixty years of age were to get an old age pension of $2"0.00 a month for the rest of their lives; the provision being that the money must be spent within thirty days after receiving it, what a revo’ut'on would take place. All the; younger members of the fami'ies would be more concern d with their grandpa - rents and great aunts and great uncles. What a revolution! And the beneficiaries, what of them? A dread and horror would leave. No more—“these unwanted bones” “SOME SWELL, SOME GROW” Such a high opinion “he” has of himself. Struts around town with all his pin feathers out at right angles. He even laughs at his own jokes, laughs before any one else ev n smi es. In contrast this other “he” is busy working. You do not see h'm b'atently in forming the world how it shou’d be run. This “he” owns his home, he studies, and builds upon his acquired knowledge. Abraham Lin coln voiced it so aptly. “Some swell, others grow.” A WEEDY TALE There it grew, sandwiched be tween a stone wall and an as phalt pavement. On looking close ly one could find no vest ge of soil betwe n the two„ hard sur faces. Yet, there it grew, a litt • dandel on. Its small bloom a re flection of the sun, bravely defy ing the last night’s frost. Life couldn’t be any harder to you than that stone wall, the asphalt pavement, and the bitter cold of the December night, to that litt'e weed. Take courage brother — courage from this weedy litt e tale. j STONES ON SATURDAY If every unkind act, cruel, slan derous remark, or mistreatment of one’s fellowman were made in to little stones or cl.nky cinders and one had to have them in one’s shoes for Saturday penance, and each lie was a tack, there would be some almighty hobbling when Saturday came around. It might have a corrective effect until con tinued penance distributed cal - lous qua ities to both “soul and sole”. So much for stones on Saturday!
