• “Bring out your dish pan,
Ii Here cranes your fish man!”
if • * •
That was a cry I heard when
F. was a boy, which brings to
mind a host of memories. Spring
was the time when fishermen
timbered up their nets and boats,
and the water front, on its
whole length, was alive with
activity that boded no good for
the| fish, but did bring a lot of
cash to the fishermen. This bol
ster to our economy was quite
an ,‘item, as fish was a main
product to this town and area.
And this character who peddled
fish brought you fish fresh out
of the water, alive and kicking.
Which in my opinion beats mod
em deep freeze and methods of
preserving food. I wonder if we
have improved old-time methods'
as mjich as we think. Yes, we|
have improved and advanced, I

Vacations, along with coffee
breaks, have become a national
institution, and have become a
part of our way of life we have
icome to accept as normal; not
'stopping to think that they were
| predicated on the sturdy demo-
I cratic foundations our forefath
ers built. It is these little things
all woven together that consti
tutes America. And it is these
little things that will be taken
from us, one by one, if we cease
to bb a democratic nation. And
it is these little tangible things j
that an American fears losing,
more than his liberty and his
freedom. He can more, vividly
visualize what the loss of these I
1 small things will mean, because !
| they touch his daily life inti-I
Imately—and they are things he

quite grasp what the loss of his
liberties and freedoms would
mean; for they, to him, are in

will continue forever, and are

PVERHEARD While ordering
breakfast in a case recently, this
fellow said, . . . “and some Geor
gia ice cream”. It took me quite
a while to learn that he meant
“grits”. Now I love grits, and
no Southern’ breakfast menu is
complete without ’em. And if
you ask me (or if you don’t),
grits, with me, has the edge
over ice cream.
