The Journal, Thursday, July 26, 1973 - 7
November 25, 1952--I.f we
keep on trying to be the big
shot to everybody all over the
world, giving away our resour-
ces and our money and going
into debt to support the rest of
the world, we could get in the
same shape as an oldboy Iknew
one time.
He had a lot of money when
he married into a poor family.
Do you know that good old boy
got so ragged, trying to make
his relations rich, he had to
carry his money in his mouth.

Dwight Fields was married
last Saturday evening, July 21,
to Debbie Sadier of Ripley. We
world like to congradulate them.
Mrs. Christine Tietz flew to
Maryland, where her son Mac
lives. Mac and his wife lost
their baby.
1952--The obliga-
Committments that
and the President
the American
and then the
asking us why we
)re, reminds me of
asked a great big,
"Why did you give
fellow such a
~u know he is no
great big fellow like
old boy replied,
Simply wasn't phy-
to take the beating
to give him."
December 22, 1952--I notice
when they get these old boys up
to try them to see whether or
not they are communists, it is
practically impossible to keep
them from jumping up and cor-
recting any testimony against
them.
They remind me of the Irish-
man who was being tried in old
Judge Parker's court one time.
The old judge had the reputation
of hanging practically everyone
that was tried in his court.
While the old Irishman was
being tried he would jump up
and correct the witnesses all
the time. Finally Judge Parker
said, "Sit down and stay down
and you will get justice in this
court."
The Irishman said, "Judge,
that's what I'm afraid of!"

Domino, a piglet of the .~
Byram Stock Farm (NE of
Perkins) had a very strange "i
and untimely death. It
seems that he ate the to- f
bacco out of a cigarette
dropped in the yard by a visitor, so the theory persists.
Yesterday was the first day of National Farm Safety Week
which ends next Wednesday (see last week's column for
more details). Let's try to be more careful with farm ma-
chinery so this will be a Farm Safety Week to remember.
Farming is supposed to be the third most dangerous occu-
pation so be careful.
If you have any reports on how National Farm Safety
Week went contact me at the number given at the bottom of
this column.
The 19th annual STEAM THRESHING BEE startsthisFri-
day (tomorrow). Admission fee is $1 for peopleover twelve.
Besides money for lunch (you may want to take yottr own)
there is a steam sawmill that saws lumber and sells the
shingles and shavings, so you may want totake extra money.
Waukomis is north of Hennessey and south of Enid on
Highway 81. The Threshing Bee is 3 miles west of Wauko,,
mis. Next week I plan to have a report of it in this column.
Have you ever ground your own flour7 At our farm, lately,
we have been grinding our own flour. We've been doing it
with a borrowed wheat grinder. Flour usually sells for
around 11~ a pound. Growning wheat costs 4~ a pound. You
grind the wheat at no charge and presto! 7~ ,discount. Also,
whole wheat flour is more nutrious than commercial flour.
Next week I hope to have some Pictures of the grinder.
Plan to be at the Payne County Fair at theend of August
and beginning of September. There should be some good
exhibits there. More cletails later.
The corn has passed the stage where it is any good for
roasting ears. This year's cbrn crop was nothing to brag
about.
If I made any mistakes in this column, or you have any
farm news, notify me at 405-547-2531.
See you next week.

So much help has been given
in the effort of collecting used
clothing for distribution to the
needy. But we are again in
need of clothing as we have re-
ceived letters from Africa and
Mexico asking for clothing.
All clothing donated is wash-
ed and if needed, mended. R is
then given to local families as
well as distant ones. With sChool
about to start, suitable clothing
is needed for these children.
When clothing is brouffnt in.
that no used is found locally it
is taken to the Mission in Still-
water for distribution there.
There is never any charge.
These items are given to
those in need so won't you
please help someone who is is
need. Have them callthe Church
of Christ in Perkins. Clothing
will be provided for them and
their children. No one will be
refused.
This is not necessarily a
church project, we Just enjoy
helping others. Just call 547-
