JUST ROLLIN* ALONG
Pangs of remorse visited me when
I read Prof. Simpson’s column “Wild
Life” in this week’s paper. I learn
from the Professor that the little
spheres so patiently and perfectly
shaped by the tumble hug is really
his food! The meals I deprived him
and his family of when I was a boy
would run well into the millions for
I used to use those things for mar
bles and right good marbles they
were, too. I did not know then that
•omewhere a brood of little tumble
bugs with mouths agape were wait
ing for mama to roll home the groc
eries. 1 do know that I gathered up
these little spheres by the box fulls
and dried them in the summer sun
and won many a marble tournament
while shooting against store-bought
marbles. I admit they were a little
smelly but so was I. I don't remem-

ber smelling good anyway umU I
| was grown. Kids in my day stewed
I in their own smells as it were and
enjoyed every whiff of it. As I look
' back 1 know- why the teacher always
1 threw wide open all the windows it
I the coldest weather. She couldn’t
stand it—we carried those things
around as religiously as we did our
noses.
But to get back to the subject.
! Some tumble bugs put out a decided
ly poor grade' marble which would
j flake off and burst just as I was
| ready to ram home the winning shot.
But after, a time I became expert
in picking the good, firm, pungent
balls which always gave good serv
ice. I learned in my research that
the faulty balls did not come from
a lack of skill in the bug but from
the materials he used.
Each year after the marbling
season was over I carefully put my
balls away to be ready for the first
days of spring for the tumble bug
does not get to rolling in style un
til along about June first -when the
weather gets hot.
Prof. Simpson says there are a
few around and one of these days
I’m going to find out. I want to
recapture the days when I felt at
home and at ease in the company
of a tumble bug. I half-way believe
that I would like to agair carry some
of those neat little spheres around
in my pocket and get some kids be
hind the bam and show them what
a game of marbles was like before
' they took the smell out of it.
As we grow in stature we put
aside the ways of the child and take
on the ways of a man, but in the
transition we lose something precious
j—that pungent odor of a dirty boy.
Once washed we don’t smell like any
thing; in fact we don’t smell at all.
I would be willing to swap all that
j lies ahead for me in this scrubbed
i and manicured world for a few sum-
j mers as an evil-smelling boy, my
pockets stuffed with tumble-bug
I balls and the thrill of discovery of
an even better, bigger, firmer ball
my one and only ambition.
Only my older readers who lived
very close to nature will understand
my nostgalia. The modem boy buys
his marbles at the store—clean and
scentless, and has never enjoyed the
pungent aroma that was as much a
part of boys 40 years ago as his
britches.
Very few young boys today have
ever seen a tumble bug and that is
a pity. A Society for The Preser
vation of The Tumble Bug should
be set up. It may be necessary for a
while to help him with his rolling
but that is no hitch. The New Deal
could make that one of its post-war
projects.

MIIDAY, AtiOUVT U, 1144
If our boy* wer* to com* back w
masse tomorrow there would be
bands,and parades and great rejoic
ing—a Wellcome befitting heroes,
but the Johnnies coming back a few
at a time are almost completely .ig
nored so far as the community is
concerned. Of course they receive
t warm welcome from the few who
are able to see them but there is no
gesture of official recognition for the
job these boys have done for us.
j There are a number of boys in the
, county who have been discharged
.from the army and others with two
year's service abroad will be trick
ling in regularly from now on. There
should be some set-up to at least
give these boys a supper, maybe a
gift of some sort or in some other
manner acknowledge the sacrifice
they have made.
I had thought this would be a
j good thing for the Legion to do but
its public relations man, Jake Wise,
i has been in dry dock for some time
now and is not even yet quite sea
worthy. Jake is interested however
and something might come from this
direction. A pot should be set up
and sweetened handsomely; men
here who have been making money
and have no one in the service should
be especially generous for they have
■acrificed nothing so far. I have
$50 for the pot plus my services in
any job however menial that might
make these boys feel that they are
appreciated.
It is time that the general public
make some sacrifice; only those
with the gold star in the window
know the meaning of that word.
You’ve heard of the nice things in
store for Johnny when he comes
“marChng home’’ and that’s all very
well but did you ever stop to think
that Johnnies are coming home to
Newberry county almost every day?

SPECTATOR
(Continued From Page Five)
is talk of invoking the Hatch act
about it. I’m told that a well-known
attorney has devoted some time to
a study of the Hatch act—which for
bids Federal officials to take part
in politics.
The” South Carolina Democratic
convention will meet even before
this Spectator appears in the papers.
It is not so important that we
elect or defeat a man as it is su
premely important to preserve the
free institution of our Democracy.
One of our greatest principles is fre
quent rotation in the presidential of
fice so that a man may not override
the law.
As soon as the convention commit
ted itself to Mr. Roosevelt it did not
seem to me of great importance
whom the CIO might name for the
vice-presidency.
The Democratic platform is a CIO
written or dictated document. As
the Governor of Mississippi said, it
was a convention of appeasement for
the negroes and the CIO.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but, in spjte
of considerable experience with poli
ticians, I can’t be happy when real
Americans are bartered like horses
and mules. All that is in me pro
tests against the prostitution of
America by alien and selfisb-grnups.
