This year will be no exception.

model house several years ago.
Its purpose would be to show and
demonstrate that better housing
was possible to many who'do not
now aspire to it. That house was
finished and dedicated a few
months ago in the Jeremiah com
munity of Williamsburg county.
The plan is to award one young

Boys Ax# That Way
Some more recollections:
Seldom shod feet that burned so
at church on hot Sundays.
The old milk cow that I could
| ride back in the field and tie on
j the ditch bank to eat Johnson grass.
: We rode all sorts of yearlings. But
felt a little funny riding the milk
cow. That then made it sort of
like drinking milk from a mule or
horse.
Funerals, I avoided ’em all. The
best wagon and team in the com
munity did the hauling I ran when
I saw it coming, with the sheet-
draped coffin.
Flowers in the cemetery. I cov
eted them, specially the bright col
ored hyacinths that some planted
there. For we didn’t have any
like that in our yard. Once I
swiped one from there. But was
afraid to take it home and threw
it in the honeysuckles.
Pot hloes that formed in the red
clay of the ditch by our house. At
college I learned w<hat made ’em.
A jagged flint rock would lodge in
a slight depression there. The wat
er couldn’t quite carry it on down
the ditch. So it just wiggled
around there after rains for a
while. That loosened the clay and
the water carried it away. I've
seen them get as big and deep as
a wash pot. They held water long
after the shower had passed, and
there is Where we continued to
play. Take its rock out and it
wouldn’t grow any more.
Resin coming from the back of
seats near the fireplace, while kids
in the back of the room shivered.
And the big boys piling the rfch
lightwood on the fire so they could
get excused and go to the woods
for more wood.
Several ants dragging t a dead
grasshopper many times their
weight.
The feeling of futility while
pecking away with a hoe at a long
row of grassy com on rocky land.
