Show www THE HOME GROUCH We have heard in the past of a few Delta men who are so nervous and irritable that they carry a grouch home with them from their work or place of business, and thus make the entire family unhappy. Do you, gentle reader, happen to be one of that kind? Have you allowed yourself to believe that you cannot help it? If so, then right here as you start on another year is a pretty good time to correct that belief. If you are touchy and at times ugly, you may be sure that the folks at home have noticed it long ago, and whether or not they say so or hint it, they would rather you'd not come around when you are in that frame of mind. Home is supposed to be a place where a man can go for a hearty welcome when he feels he can't find it anywhere else. Home is the place where a man is supposed to shed sunshine even though he is not in position to do so elsewhere. It's the place to carry cheerfulness, and its the place to go to look for the same thing when you need it. There isn't any room in this or any other community for a grouch, and especially true is this of the homes of this community. com-munity. We have enough to worry us in plain, ordinary business busi-ness life without being forced to give our time to the fellow who imagines that the universe is going to the dogs. So, if you happen hap-pen to have a grouch, or you feel a grouch coming on, roll over somewhere and sleep it off. Don't parade It in public and above all things, don't take the grouch home with you.
