Remember on« time when I told
about the old loose-stone wall that
separated Easy Roberts* property
from Handy Peterson’s?
T h a t was when they decided they
really didn’t need the w all between
them in the firs t place — so they
simply stopped re p airing it.
Now I hear where a fellow, who
bought the old Johnson place, wants
to bay all those «tones. I t seems he
figures a stone wall la ju st what’a
needed on his property.
th a t’s his business. B u t i f it's not
really serving any useful purpose
hs may sooner or later discover
—ju s t like Handy and Easy did—
th a t he’d be ju s t as well off w ith o u t
one. Even some old-fashioned walls
o f prejudice are disappearing—
like those th a t would deny a per
son's rig h t to a frie n d ly glass o f
beer now and then. Most Ameri
cans are learning th a t “ w alla* can
get in the way o f the perdbns In-
