VOL. 14—NO. 44 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 7. 1952 4 $1.50 PER YEAR Army Band To Play Two Concerts Here Monday BOYS ABE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER T 11. i Ml! til*' •!; MiV ol I >;u: u . 1 1' i ■ S * ' ! t ! tllM liin^ ha«l mentioned in When l was growing up, tail of a shirt was somet never to i)e seen when you it on. Xot even mixed company! We all wore galluses then. I recall Quite clearly when 1 got my first pair of pants that had belt loops on them. And 1 didn’t use them at first. Continued to play safe with suspenders. It was the height of humiliation to be at play or anywhere else and have your shirttail come out. That occasionally happened, specially in games like running base and tag, where you had to catch the other fellow. Or after you lay down on the porch and took a nap and didn’t notice the thing had worked cut. At school we often played tag, boys and girls together. Once a girl that 1 sort of secretly liked chasing me. I didn’t run as as I could because 1 wanted to touch me. She grabbed back of my shirt, held ox.. I came to a halt. That put in their bull pen. As we walk- was fast her the and me ed back I didn’t notice she had pulled my shirttail out. The first boy to notice it yelled out, “Goody, goody gout, your shirt- tail’s out!” That was our shib boleth for such occasions. Both the girl’s face and mine turned crimson and there was great embarrassment for us, as the others grew hillarious with laughter. And I wouldn’t have thought of tucking it in there with mixed company around. I went behind the schoolhouse to do that. Now folks often wear their shirttails out. Not just kids either. In the summer I often wear mine oul now. And, you know, the old Chinaman who started that custom didn’t have a bad idea at all. For it is sure comfortable during hot weather that way. n<i;i l’!i nidi fot '(.!•■ • him: i n t s a I will on* direct ion Vhit irm ' v. it coin »n ts at tie- niah ' .1 \! on da y. Ma rrh It'.
