DEAR MR. PUBLISHER, I
by P4/?S0/V JONES J
Dear Mr. Publisher: I
Our church men met the other night and discmed the i r
favorite subject-women. The topic was "The female revolt
for equal rights". So much heat was generated from the dis
cussion that we had to cut off the furnace and open the win
dows. Big Slim was in charge of the program and he opened
up by reading an article from Newsweek. According to what
he read the women are tired of being women. It tole how
these rebellious gals have stopped wearing girdles .and are
letting hair grow on their legs. Some of 'em won't let a man
open the door for 'em and won't take a seat from a man.
Brother George said that wasn't nothing new, cause he
never opened the door for his wife and he shore wasn't gonna
give up his favorite easy chair for no woman.
Big Slim went on to point out that these women didn't wait
to be whistled at or flirted with. Lots of 'em don't want to
be tied down with a husband or younguns. The real doozy
according to Slim was that many females are taking Karate
so they won't have to rely on men for protection.
Well sir, when Slim got thru every body started talking
at one time. Hezekiah said if women wanted to do a man' s
job they oughta volunteer for Vietnam. Dr. Chargewright
says these gals are suffering from a disease known as " self -
hatred". One fella said they were just mad cause they could
not grow a beard. But Brother George really put the "cap on
the bottle" when he said that if the gals didn't want to be
women they oughta go to Sweden and have an operation.
Well sir, I learned one thing from this program. Don't
seem that anybody is happy with the way God made thin gs.
Gotta go now. Be careful who you whistle at.
Parson Jones.

Letter To
The Editor
Dear Editor:
The Communists have said
they would bury us but it ap
pears as though we are about
to get ahead of them and bury
ourselves in our own litter and
pollution.
The fishing season is on aid
it's nice to see people out en
joying themselves, but for the
love of God's beautiful country
side let's think before we throw
trash around on the roads and
in the streams and rivers.
As kids, we used tosay'See
a pin and pick it up and all the
day you'll have good luck7...
We should change that now and
say instead, "See a can and
pick it up OR in the future
we'll be stuck"—up to our neck
in litter!
