We raised all our feed en hogs en
we alius had aplenty. There wasn't
no roads to speak of we mostly
came through a woodspath tell they
made a clear-in' for the highway.
N'o'm. I aint never lived no place
but where 1 is. My mammy and
pappy lived with the Hightowers
always and then we younuns cime
along. Yes. mam, they shore is
fine folks.
You know. Miss, folk's hez
changed more'n the country. Guess
it's cause they's so many they don'
have time to say "howdv" anv i
j more. Folks just rush along, even '
iffen they aint goin' no place. They
race off somewheres just so they ,
can turn cround en race right back j
again. It shore does heat all. You !
never see nobody just jog along no !
more. !
Yas'm. that whut they say. that i
they lives longer now than they
uster. Mebbe they does but they
shore do miss a heap of livin' jest
the same . They goes so fast they
can't see nobody but theirselves
and they gets to livin' just that
way. too. You know. Miss, the
Scripture says man was not made
to live alone an' that didn't mean
lie had to have company. Hit meant
that he had to think there wuz
-omebody else walkin' erlong with
him. But in these r.;irry-up days,
man usualy outsteps his companion
en then they is bolh walkin' by
theirselves.
Lawsy. Miss, will you look0
Whilst I was atalkin'. the sun's
come out. An' hit alius does. Seems
hke the harder the rain comes
down, the brighter the sun comes
along lo dry out our worries and
to lighten up our road. Leastwise,
that's the way hit seems to. ;
Thank you. Miss, for lettin' me
wait. I'll be agettin' on now and
if you ever gets up our way, I'll be
proud to have you step in. There's
always cold milk and meal to mix
up a hoe cake in no time atall.
Good bye.

ing on October 31. After leaving

Good Reading For the Whole
Family
"I wonder what families do that
don't read books together," says
one eight-year-old.
Suggestions tfl Parents
The story period should leave the
children happy and relaxed not
tense and high-strung.
One test of a good children's
book is whether it can be read
aloud and enjoyed.
Vary reading. Sometimes a book
of real meat, sometimes a short
story. Sometimes a poem, some
times a book about making and
doing things.
Children can understand and ap
preciate books far beyond their
reading ability.
Children must be comfortable
physically to listen happily. Some
children like to lie or sit on the
floor, some to sit on stools. Bed
time is a good leading time.
A few minutes between games
or a rest period can be caught for
rraditig. Encourage c! il'h'en to
dramatize the stories the read and
hear.
