Dear Mr. Publisher PARSON JONES Dear Mr. Publishers SOme fella came to my door the other day and declared to me that the world will end March 7, 1973. Well sir, I had enough troubles fare this messenger came and tried to scare me to death. I'd be the first one to admit that the world's gonna expire someday, but in the mean-time there's a lot to be done. t It just goes to prove, Mr. Publisher, that there's all kinds of people in the world. In school they've got away of judg ing folks—like A students, B students and so on. But I've come up with a new system of grading people. It's called the plus and minus system. You see, some people are mi nus thinkers and some are plus thinkers. I'll show you what I mean. Two fellas will look at a half-a-glass of water—one will say it's half empty, the ether will say it's half full. The other day it was raining like the dickens and everybody I met told me what a lousy day itwas. That vas, til I met this one guy grinning like the dickens. I said, "What are you so happy about?" He beamed, "Boy!" '1 jus, love this liquid sunshine. " This plus and minus attitude runs over into our feelings about one another. With the high rate of crime and mean ness around these days some folks get to thinking that every body is a crook. Ole Hezekiah, my head deacon, won't hip anybody that's down on his luck. He swears he's been bit too many times, and he's convinced that they're all no-good burrs One of my members is sure all young folks whose hair is down over their ears is a trouble maker. So she goes around seeing bad every time she sees too much hair on a boy. What's happening, Mr. Publisher, is that folks are coming on with a negative attitude. Their eyes begin to look like big minus signs. I like to see these fellas with plus signs for eyes. They not only make a body feel comfortable, they bring on the best in people. Well, I gotta close for now. I'm meeting with a math teacher tonight and see if there's any way we can add up minuses to equal plus. In the meantime, open /our eyes real wide so's they won't look like minuses. Right when you can! Parson Jones HOUSE OF CARPET - ~ sth 4 yfT\ ;)) .Ss' Qj jp fj " .8: JUNE 2T, 1972 Our sincere gratitude goes out to our friends and relatives for the kindnesses shown to us, and for food, flowers and sym pathy extended to us in our sor row at the loss of our loved one.
