That soft old timey Music
that used to send 'ya a few
years back was the most I still
like it It greets one early in
the morning at Watkin's Gro-
cery and is such a relief from
the rock and roll I hear daily
from the crack of dawn to nigh
midnight I do wish that the
youngsters that live daily to the
swish and sway of that type of
music (I mean my own main-
ly) could become a wee bit at-
tached to something more soft
and soothing I find myself a
bunch of tied up jangled nerves
and can't understand why un-
til I realize it's that infernal
ding dong music I am trying
to work by and live with
We all scream at one another
here and there trying to make
ourselves beard above the
swishy swooshy drone of El-
vis Presley or the colored folk
ct anyone that is lucky enough
to get on radio or TV Or
sell a record regardless of what
it says or the rhythm or beat
as our teens call it Man! I feel
inclined to say loud and long
Less Hogwash with groans and
More sooth'in soft quiet hon-
'elt to goodness musk Some of
the time PLEASE
The average person of today
is loosing touch with almost
all their manners they may have
acquired along the way of life
I notice that most of our old-
sters as well as youngsters do
not take time now a day's for
the common courtesy's of life
I refer to no one in particular
but to almost everyone in gen-
eral Noticed the mosquitoes are
not so generous lately???? They
do not seem so jet propelled
and the drills on the ends of
their proboscis do not seem so
sharp Now if this is not true
then my imagination is working
overtime or these little pets like
me better than they did earlier
in the summer affection that
is less chewin up so as to
speak -
Elsie of Elsie's Tot and Teen
tells me that she is starting a
fall knitting class in her child's
apparel shop on MacArthur
Boulevard Elsie says she will
have a supply of needles yarn
and all the doo-dads that you
knittin minded girls will need
and if you wish lessons in the
first class let her know contact
her pronto ' - Brace your-
selves girls that summer sleep-
ing you have been enjoying in
the early moms are about to
cease and the young-ones will
psoon be up and at 'em rite
early to get their book learning
started - -
