(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!
THE BIG AND GROWLING
PER CENT
They want personal liberty to
do as they please. They want to
drink and drive a car. If drink
ng is their personal liberty —
keep it personal. Whep anyone
comes driving down the highway
and cracks into your car or mine
that isn’t his or her personal |i
