| Show rotten apples WERE 7 ERE you ever a youngster back east where they bought apples by the barrel end and stored them in the cellar over against the long winter evenings when winter came did you spend most of your saturdays sorting over the barrels of apples picking out the rotten ones so they would not make the whole barrel that way and you and the family eat nothing but rotten apples the next week life like that and you live in the kitchen because the parlor should not be mussed up and it the truth that you lived in the kitchen all your life and you always wear your old clothes because you had to keep the good ones to go to meeting on sunday and as a result you run down at the heel and patched on the seat most of the time and did you ever get over it you gone through life with an inferiority complex holding musty ideas and most of the time the same old worn out notions until they were ready for the grab bag do you still wait for somebody else to step ahead and do the pioneering you do if youre still eating rotten apples W L Y davis in in los angeles tribune |
