CA THE CAROLINA TIMES Sat March 24, 197S
Life Begins At 62
By George B. Russ
Emma Lou didn't call her
sister in-law a fool and a blab
ber mouth; she brushed her
aside with contumely-and,
left off speaking to her simply
because she wouldn't promise
to work for her socially prom
inent friend, Mrs. Lorraine
Burton.
Whenever Curtis was in the
house with the family, Emma
Lou kept to her room. Miss
Madie was, naturally, uncom
fortable being shut off by her
sister-in-law but she lost no
sleep over the matter. Be
sides, there are certain advan
tages in having the avenues
of communication closed be
tween you and certain persons.
A lot of things were left un
done simply because she didn't
know if Emma Lou wanted
her helD. Yep. she cashed
in on the good sister-in-law's
stupidities. She cleaned tier
own room, took, care of her
mending, Bible reading and
cooking her own meals, such
as they were, and ate to the
tune of mute silence. Com
mon sense had taught her how
to crack the other fellow's
head with the same stick he
was trying to use to crack
her head. Therefore, Emma
Lou suffered a great deal more
from the communication gap
than her garrulous in-law.
Like the average man, Cur
tis had no idea that his do
main and slowly dust and
cobwebs were settling every
where. His sister's sudden ab
sence from the range, pre
paring the evening meal and
prattling about the weather
and the neighbor's business,
didn't arouse his curiosity.
His supper would be late, but
this small inconvenience was
worth the pleasure Emma Lou
derived from having Madie out
of her kitchen, although she
loathed culinary associations.
Emma Lou 's effeteness no
loiwer annoved him; he had
learned to live with her sniff
ing 'n blowing 'n falling about
with the vapors or whatever
it was that caused her torpid-
ness; so, he spent his evenings
at home doing exactly what
he wanted to do at any given
moment -- watching TV.
Miss Madie didn't relish her
sister-in-law's discomfort, how
ever, there was a heartwarming
compensation in watching her
"slung over a barrel." No wo
man in her right mind should
let another person's handicap
overshadow their own happi
ness as much as Emma Lou
was allowing Lorraine Burton's
need for domestic help to sap
the life out of her.
Curt's wifie huffled 'n puf
fed for days before she let
her real tale of woe be known.
Between the sold and pink
bathroom and her French Pro
vincial bedroom with its drapes
of gold lace, Mrs. Perkins
moaned and groaned; she was
lost for the right words to say
that should shift the bulk of
her burden to the shoulders
of her sillv-nillv sister-in-law.
Ben Pratt had hopped, jumped
skiDDed and fawned for the
Kaypots until his mainspring
had broken. He was deathly
sick from "pure 'n divine
worn-out-ness." Old Ben had
used up every ounce of his
"life giving energy." The man
had to be cared for like a
baby.
Miss Madie was more aware
of Ben's state of affairs than
she made manifest to anyone,
especially, his "hotsy -totsy
daughter. Nevertheless, she
kept a watchful eye upon the
fat lady and kept a safe dis
tance while she watched. If
anything started falling, she
wanted the floor to catch it.
She was tun toe floor was the
better "catcher" for a whale-of-ah
woman like Emma Lou.
Praying three time day
was as natural to Miss Madie
as drinking a cool glass of
water when her throat was
oarched. She prayed for many
things like being blessed with
a kind, loving, considerate hus
band; but, her chances of en
joying any kind of man were
"second to none." In fact,
she had ceased beseeching God
to send a good man her way;
instead, she entreated Him to
give her a seat in His kingdom.
After a week of Emma Lou's
covorting, Miss Madie entered
her secret closet and wrestled
with God, begging Him to give
Emma Lou courage to race
up to her great problem.
"Lord let her mantle of mi
sery fall on stronger shoulders.
Shoulders able to withstand
whatever hardships that might
befall them." She didn't tell
God that Emma Lou wasn't
worth what the bears grabbed
at, because, there are some
things one just don't tell the
heavenly father. But a single
day did not pass that she
didn't pray for her ailing sis
t -in-law; "Lordy, you make
t! weak and the strong; the
f; a:.d th' thin; and, you
said in your Holy word mat
you don't suffer none of your
chillun to bear more than they
are able to carry. Release
Emma Lou's burden upon the
shoulders of them that is more
able to withstand. My proud
as a peacock sister-in-law is
weaker than a May chicken."
To be continued.

whose talents ahe considers
I worth developing. The students
i range from the freshman level

It occurs to me that a
scholar is more than an in
dividual searching for truth.
There are other attributes
more far-reaching than the
search, per se.
There are few scholars that
one is apt to become intimate
with simply because the
scholar's time is consumed
by his work, but if one is
granted that intimacy, a true
scholar puts his work aside
and listens to a problem
brouched him. Never, in my
opinion, does the scholar be
come a pedantic donkey,
quoting, strutting in his aca
demic knowledge, belittling
the ignorant, and wrapping
his degrees around him as if
he were superior to all oth
ersescaping into his OWN
would-be glory, his dehided
sense of security, and bask
ing in the light of his noto
rized attainments.
A true escholar never loses

She was always there
No matter what the day,
In any weather,
Yes, she was there.
She sang me no lullabies
About babes on treetops,
But arias and sonatas,
Her medley of cantatas.
She painted me no thornless
Roses, no rainless
Bows of promises,
But just a garden date,
A freshly plowed earth.
If you had seen her
You would have loved her.
My Mother.

! CURBING REPRESSIVE f'flRH
When a person has murder
in his heart, you do not re
move the murderous intent
by confinement of him. You
probably restrain, for
while, this impulse to mur
der, unless you are able to
reach the individual's consci
ousness and release the pent
up resentments and hatreds
which have aroused the kill
ing instinct within him.
That's one of ihe basic laws
of mind, still little under
stood, that what is created
in consciousness always seeks
externalization in some form.
Yes, this is- why some men
and women who have led
straightlaced lives, suddenly
shock their communities by
overt acts, seemingly entire
ly foreign to their natures.

Their secret desires to com
mit such acts have been, as
most doctors would say,
building up in them for
years, intensified through
repression, until finally these
surges come to the surface
and burst all bonds.
In my opinion, what is in
a man will sooner or laier
come out or he most likely i
will shrivel up and die on the
vine of his own repressed de
sires. That could be why we see
and read shocking news in
the daily newspaper about
so many notorious things that
happen everyday and cause
Uef to wonder why people
commit such acts.
We should now realize
that we are living in a world
