AND HIS NEWS
OP NEftO VALLEY
I met Mi John West on the Western
Front Saturday. Nothing Would
do brother John but I must try one
of his best cigars. John buys only
the best and they are for his
friends. Mr. Rob Parrish gives ' me
all my smokes on the 4th of July
and one Christmas. John don't believe
that's often enough for a bus
inesg man to smoke.
We are glad to know our friend
Boyce Gault is improving after hav
ing an operation in a hospital- dn
Charlotte. We sent him the Herald
He said they all had to read it and
several liked Nebo'column so well
? ' they cut it out. Not my word for it?
* Mr. Gault's. I have a lot of friends
in the Queen City.
Mr. Frank Price came to see me
during the weekend. Frank wasn't
collecting either. Frank runs a good
business and has some good cars
on the road. They go and come
back.
It's tru^and we all know i-t. The
party that out-smarts the other party
gets i'i.c White House Job. They
don't vote him in any more, they
buy h-im in and we, the people, take
what they see fit to give us. Am I
right, Brother Hiram?
I feel I'm right in speaking for a
Mmoaities. 1 ney promise
this arjd that
to the waiting pubHe
but finally wind
?p with that or Just
ime. I shall be harder
to fool than I've ever been. I'm
not going to bet on what any of
them say and then get fooled out'
of my shirt. I'll wait and see what j
they do, then I won't be fooled out j
of a good shirt. Clothes cost money j
these days, by gosh!
We h^ve a few men like old Hit-!
ler in the world. Some in Russia, a |
few in America, iike 'Hitler. He was i
a typical Evolutionist. He didn'f believe
in God, Heaven, Hell damna- j
Won. He did claim to belieye in the j
law of the survival of fittest, if it j
fit him and that he and his barn-;
storming, blood spilling military !
men were the only breed that was!
ever treated by men or devils fit
to livi orut he earth.

birth days. The weather man sent 1
us a little skiff of snow Just to re- i
mind us that winter was still in the 1
breeze. - ' ,
I see in the news where they are '
going to draft women in future r<
wars. I hope they don't take all of a
them. It will be so lonely. No one to <.:
boss us around and tell us when ,
to ?et up If -they all go. b
It don't cost any more to speak to ^
people when we meet them on the
street or down the highway of life. c
They come here just like yoU and I, t(
did. "Have you met folks walking ' y
on the same kind of dirt, breathing g
the same kind o4 air but if you j
please to kindly say good morning i
they don't know What you ' mean. ; r
Great shockings aUye, it takes a I v
bunch of all kinds of folks to make h
up a world. IS
No race in the world's history in i
the last 80 years have made more 1 Is
progress than the American Negro, u
I remember when I was a small boy ii
my grandfather's on both sides had J
owned sonie 25 or 30 darkies. They
remained on my grandfathers plan
tation. I was raised up with this ?
younger generation. AJ1 they knew ~
was work in the fields. They knew a
nothing about schools. Al]_they car- p
ed for was daily bread and a few' t(
clothes made on the hand loom. To- j p
day its different. Schools and col- g
leges around everywhere for those jj
who care for an education.
We've had plenty snow beginning y
Dec. 25th. And I'm sure we will g
have plenty more. This is MaVch fj
the biggest snows that fall on us t
t- ??it- rr?i t-i w I
luiiic uumi hi inan.il. ine UIKH*'Sl
snow we've had came Easter Sunday y
1942. It snowed all day. It was the y
last Sunday in March. I had a field ^
of corn planted. It came up and , p
made good. I was living down at' g
the Airport. We killed more rabbits j
and crows that winter than I ever \\
saw out here at <Nebo. Rabbits p
are few on these hills. Why, I don't, p
know. Few people huht for the cot- i
ton tails even when it snows. j
Last week I wrote asking tide _
County or the State, or both, Why 5
in the name of high heaven the n
County, State, or maybe No. 4 Town \ d
ship bring some tar and feathers or C(
Just any old stuff that will keep the
road bed dry and hard. If you come
on and do it now believe me, we will
every last one of us vote for ypu ,
You know a vote is worth money if ,
you get ""'hat you want. We don't
want promises?we want ^he road
fixed.
Now here comes good news from ,
war-torn Europe that should make'
all America glad. The grain crop i$ i
the best they have grown in sever- j
al yeaxs^Jt's to be hopdl_America
will not have to ship our grain over
there to* feed all those millions
Ma^ vur bread wil' come cheap- ,
er if our people don't stew it up in (
whiskey. I mean the Boss dogs that!
run our country. You know one time '
not so long ago they branded the j
Republican party with all the whls'
key m^kjng in America. It proved
not to be so. Whoever is behind the 1
whiskey barrels for the past twelev ,
years?Mr. Roosevelt's bunch. The
Republicans love whiskey but they
don't barrell it up for no party.,
They drink it. The difference ?the
third party don't have any to drink
What they get this year won't make
a drunk man's story. I reckon it will
be a Republican President?it
should be. When President Hoover
gave up the office he turned every
dime back to our government they
^ald him. We, the American people
blamed him with trying to starve
the nation. I don't believe Mr. Hoover
had anything to do with the
depression. It was so ordained by
God.
In closing today's session let me
say brothers, I'm working for the
Party that pays me the most. Democrats,
Republicans, or Jackass
Third Party. The three Parties will
i spend at least one hundred thous
i "
fou money on youx '
-for a car, furniture, j
investment or otherbefore
you buy.

The following story appealed in a i

orporal Jack Barber is a patient:

hieved credits for his shtfepskin by |
iking the General Education tl Deelopment
tests administered oy the

"Cpl. Barber is a hero df the Eu- .
opean Theater having fought there
dth the 45th Infantry Division. He 1
as one battle star and the Bronze
tar Medal.
"He also served }n the Aleutian
stands in the Pacific during the war .t
rtth the 30th Field Artillery, earn- 1
rig a battle star in conflict with the \
apanese.
"His future school plans include .
tudy at the University of North |

nd. That's all right. Let them
ay off the bunch that works hard
3 get a good man in and don't get
aid for getting him in before he j
ets to the White House. You are
one paid, but you don't know
fhat you go-t. Just wait 4 years and j
ou'lV find out. Every one needs to:
