Uncle Joe Simms' Business Is To Make The World Better Came To This Country From Australia In 1879 "My business is to make the world a better place by having lived in it." Such is the philosophy of Uncle Joe ' Simms, 93 year-old Australian Aborigine, who passed through Franklin last week. , ' Uncle Joe says that, he was born in a hut in the bush of New. South Wales, Australia, ' in 1847. He is a member of a vanishing race since the Aborigines, the original natives of Australia, are .disappearing even faster than our own American In dians. ' Appeared Here Recently He earns his . living by traveling about the country doing stunts and making humorous speeches' on "The Science of Life From a Psycho logical Viewpoint," before audiences varying from college Y. M.. C. A.'s to prison camps. Recently he ap- peared before guests at the Coun- i hy scarlet fever, diphtheria, meas try Club, the FVanklin Terrace, 1 les, and whooping cough combined. Rogers Hall and other resort places in the vicinity. .."There are three things calcu lated to drive you off the earth in a hurry," siys Uncle Joe. "Worry is first and that's ,the worst fear, and fits of anger, I try to help folks avoid all three by making them laugh." Still Active Uncle Joe's step is still quick despite "is advanced age, though a stubble of white whiskers on his leathery brown cheeks tell the story. His features are "sharper and more pronounced than those of the average Southern negro of African descent. He first came to this country in 1879, and has been back to Australia .several times. He has traveled all over the United States, making enough to live on from day to day. He has no wife or children. As a citizen of the British Em pire, Uncle Joe was asked to ex press his opinion of the present war situation. His reply was a lit tle surprising. 'It's a white man's fight and they change so fast you can't tell what's going to happen next You can't tell if they're going to sell It's like Hambone says The white folks always wants, to fight to the last man, but they wants Campbell-Cunningham Clan Meets At Arrowood Approximately 75 relatives and invited friends attended the Campbell-Cunningham reunion held Sun day at Arrowood Glade.
