How to end the plague of homelessness

* - "OCK-piphany":  HOW TO END THE PLAGUE OF HOMELESSNESS IN DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE!

CELEBRATE IT!

Consider Britt, Iowa, a tiny Midwestern village that every year since 1933 hosts a national hobo convention.  Each year in Britt, they elect a hobo KING and QUEEN.  The Hobo royalty are then knighted by the Queen Of England, and pronounced (for one year) "King and Queen of The Road, and Emperor of The North." Parades, Camps, "Hobo Jungles", cooking, fun and games for all...

What's Britt got that we don't?  Maybe for PR, we join with them prodoucing the Emperor of The South... OR Prince and Princes... Big city helps little town do good... warm fuzzy Jacksonville story for CNN?  Jax fest grow's to 100,000 times that of Britt!  Both towns make out like bandits!  THINK!

Any Takers? Sure beats hanging baskets!

Ocklawaha was chatting pleasantly to JC and Sportmotor on one occasion when they asked him airily if he would explain his Theory of helping the homeless to them.

'I was taking a walk with a blind friend on a hot day,' he told them, 'and I mentioned that I would like a drink of milk.

' "I know what a drink is." said my friend, "but what is milk?"

' "A white liquid." I answered.

' "I know what a liquid is, but what is white?"

' "The colour of a swan's feathers," I told him.

' "I know what feathers are. but what is a swan?"

' "A bird with a crooked neck," I answered.

' "I know what a neck is. but what is crooked?" The only way of explaining this to him-was by taking his arm and bending it.

' "That is crooked," I told him.

' "Oh, now I know what you mean by milk." he told me.'
