Grandma Sez - - - t 'When a body gets out a bit, j^itoolatin' around, ye git to find jJ>ut ' t' other feller's point o* It ain't a bit serprisin' i;)ne, to find a whole lot i*: folks who think about like #s; granny does. Seems they prioress hasn't changed the ifd thinkin' o* a good many citizens, and it gives one a lew- feelin' o' hope, thet all i& not lost yet. '.Seems ter me, thet when the ^linger folks begin t' adopt the rtfFrfashioned way o* reasonin', |after all the new ways hev been ftrftid and found wantin', thet Fthetfe must be some good in the Itrlcjd and true ways, in which I |Suap,g^^; od many o* us were brought I ;:One thing thet bothers me a gwbjole lot, is the way young ffolk's are encouraged f spend money they don't have. Ever' tfme I run across a young person thet tries t' live within the fatftily pocket-book, I sure give 'eih credit. Seems like our government don't set a very good example fer the young |folks f toiler, any more. With enormous amounts o* spenfdin' goin* on, when the treastfury is in the RED, it seems fredicolous to me, and a lot for folks. | This is our country. When 'the folks, who are supposed t' | be managin' the pocket-book icf the people fail to do the1 'job right, the people should hev jUie' say, and things should be »d so thet this fine country Gary Francke To Claim Bride Mr. and Mrs. Lehel Telek of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, announce the engagement of their daughter, Kathy Emese.toGary Francke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Waldemeyer Larson of Newburgh, N.Y. The couple will be married Aug. 31 at Newburgh. kin stand up straight agin. The morale o* the nation is sufferin* and thet ain't good. Somethin' better be done about it real quick, seems ter me, afore it's too late ter do anythin'. I wuz a comparin' things to a family, where the younguns want ever'thin; and the family purse cain't take care o* the luxuries. The father works his head off ter pervide the extras, n' first •thing ye know, he is hurtin', in health and also his pants pocket. Well, I think the folks in this country better git used ter goin* wi'out so many extras, and git down t' brass tacks. It ain't really necessary to a family's happiness t' hev so many trinkets, 'nd such. It all jest keeps "Pop," a tryin' ter , meet up wi' the expenses. So it .is wi' the government, and "Pop," pervides the wherewi'- all it uses.
