Earl Cain is always found to
be practicing the good neigh-
bor policy. Last Friday after-
noon my family and I decided
we would try and do something
about the grass in the back,
yard at home, which was get-
ting away from us due to the
long rainy season. We had bor-
rowed Wesley Ford’s gasoline-
driven lawn mower, together
with our “push” mower, but
wasn’t making much headway.
Pretty soon Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Cain came by and Earl decided
he would give us a lift. He went
home and brought his power
mower over and we had a lawn-
mowing party—in fact, Earl
completed the job. This is what
I call a real friend.
