But anyhow, Mr a. GrltOn L.
Hardin of 4205 Wildwooo Road,
Austin, Texas, 78722 would like
to cerrespond with descendants
of the James and Catherine

Mayor M.C. (Red) Benton, Jr
of Winston-Salem sent the In
formation requested. He was the
speaker at toe Annual Grady
Outlaw Reunion and did an ex
cellent Job- A part of the talk
that Impreeeed me was: "There
Is no place on earth where the
"Dignity of Man" Is mare priz
ed or respected than In Ameri
ca. We still bellow In the rights
of toe Individual and In Indivi
dual consideration and treat
ment although many of our go
vernmental programs are de
signed toward the masses."
As Americans - someone
has alaod us up this way -
"An American la one who yells
at the government to balance
the budget and then takes toe
last dime he has to make a down
payment on a home.
He whlpe the enemy nations
and then gtwe them the shirt

dollars for education, but he's
cool as a cucumber when he
finds oid toe Country la spending
three billion dollars 8 year for
smoking tobaceo.
He gripe about the high prices
of things he has to buy, but
gripes still more about the
low prices of things he has
to sell.
He knows the line-up of every
baseball team In the American
and National Leagues - but he
doesn't know half the words In
"The Star 8pangled Banner."
An American will get mad at
his wife for not running their

hotel tor not operating like a

Hell apend half a day looking
