' AI had my bearin's an' figgered I must be somer'es near Ol' Mose's cabin. Accordin' to some 0' the ol' folks, Ol' Moss was a 'sistant to the devil himself so I begun to get a mite fluttery under my belt. V Purty soon I see the light o' his cabin so I snuck up an' tuck a look through his window. Oli Mose,was a chantin' some little ditty an? ever? once in a while he'd grab up one 0' the pins that lay on the bench beside him an' stick it into somepin'. Thinking to get a better view, I snuck around to the other side of the cabin anf what I saw brought the hair right up stiff on my head. , , Ol' Mose had a likeness o? Jedge Granberry an' as he said some awful words, he?d grab up a pin an' sticky it somer'es in the Jedgeo' I Yllow he were sayin' the'Lord's Prayer backwards but I ainlt right sure. Anyhow, after hefd done that fer a while, he ups and lets an awful yell out o' him an' jabs a murdirous lookin? needle right into the heart o the dummy. 'I took out o' there like I had sprouted wings, an' after a good deal o' stumblin' 'round, found my way home. 1 . I kep' my eyes n' ears open the nex' day, and, sure 'nough, there began to be whispered fround 'that Ol' Jedge Granberry was deeds Seems one of them nosey black men had heard nf awful commotion in the Jedgeis room.g As he peeked through the keyhole? a sights to curdle his blood spread before' him. Cominf from the ceilinls was a ghastly blue light all filled with little yellow things, and them little things 'ud come jab into the Jedge an' then disappear.l Over in the corner was 'mother light, kind o' pale, and right in the middle was Ol' Moses' face, all agrin with wicked glee. He kep' a chantin' till fin'lly a great big yellow thing came crashing like a thunder bolt right into the Jedgefs heart. ' That nigger run screamin' down the stairs, an! when the doctor got to Jedge Granberry he was so full o' holes they had to burry him fthout no funeral. , I - ', Ever since then ever'body's steered clear o' Ol' Moses' cabin, and there can't nobody tell me there hain't no sech thing as witchin'. e . - ' Beatrice Lyford 'hh There was a ruler in Italy ' Who ruled his people bitterly. When the Yanks got there, My! What a scare! Now Mussolini doesn't rule Italy. Priscilla Stevens 'hh K 1 , ,

'- ARE WCATSWQRUINING OURiLANGUAGE?T K 'Let's light in the hanger,dig the latent Horn platter, and wiggle, snake.We a A I nYeu're on, cat.A That AHorn is- solid even in the f1uffs.W . gf . I What is we Certainly it isnft English. I-At ieast, this is the opinion iof the older -generation. What has become of the English language which has served our country so faithfully for-centuries? Is it to be replaced by jargons such as this? What effect twill it 'have on generations to come? These are a few of the questions asked by those who are worried by the plight of our English language. These people say thats the younger generation is ruining the language, So may I give a Fcatsn View of this situation? To begin with, even the Whappiest oetn doesn't consider his Jargon the English language. jTo him it is merely a way of boiling down the intricacies of pure English into a simple, easy manner of telkingh He knows correct English and has it at his command whenever he so desires to use it. While the jargon at the beginning was simply a boy asking a girl to go to the dance withd him to hear the latest James record, he took a shortcut by this easier method, The girl could have stated that she would love to go, and that James his an excellent player, but she, too, gets the most out of a language in the shortest number of words. It isn't that todayfs youths do not vknow correct English. If they ywere to take a test of their comprehen- sion of English? the results would undoubtedly be as high if not higher than English classes of previous years. As long as correct English 1s'taught in the schools, it will survive the jargons which challenge it. ' No, I do not feel that the English language is in dire peril. I feel that its influence is as strong as ever and I am certain that, in spite of people's worries and fears, when the Whepeatsn of today govern and control the country, their language will bee up to the high standards xof their forebears.w - g y ' 'icertfude McKusick 'th o' counsn THnRE's seen A THING Some folks say there hain't no sech thing as witchin', but I know a sight better. with my own two eyes I seen a man do somepin that couldnit be nothin' else but witchin'!

The darkness creeping across the sky, the deep roll of thunder and the sudden streak of lightning are the warnings of a thunderstorm. To many, it 1s.a welcome relief from the hot, dry weather. Then, like a hand zlpping open the heavens, the rain pours down, drenchlng the land and quenching its thrist. As quickly as it started, it ends, A, rainbow, with all its magnificent colors, arcs across the blue above. Fresh plants burst through the earth, starting a new life. The flowers, dripping with glistening rain, seem to freshen before your very eyes. The delicate perfume 'of each individual flower fills the air, The trees and their leaves appear to shake themselves of the rain, making a little shower of their own. A walk after the rain is certainly breath-taking.. To fill your lungs with the sweet, clean air is inspiring, But, there is always a bad side. Rain causes floods. The water sweeps over the land, destroying anything in its path. Homes and wilde stock are lost, and people are left stranded on some roof, waiting to be rescued. Even so, rain is necessary and without it there would be no growth or vegetation on earth. .But the number of good things will, in time, overcome the bad. l y g Alice sect '44 K
