HAZEL in The Pee Dee Advocate I SUPPOSE it has been cus tomary since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary for the older generation to tell the younger how much harder they had it when they were boys, and how rruich better their children are la’ring than they did. I remember when I was a child my father telling me of how much tougher life was when he. was a boy.' He was brought up on a farm at a time and in a section where farmers and their children really Worked. He was only 8 or 10 years old when my grandfather came back from the civil war to find most of his land grown up in weeds and out of cultivation,, his few slaves freed, and poverty on all sides. He and his children, even down to tender ages, had to reclaim the land ' from na ture and wrest a living for the family from these devastat ed acres. A child had to take the place of a boy, and a boy that of a man. Life was serious and grim and there was little play or pleasure. Many a time have I heard my father tell of how he had to work from before day till after dark. His father would give the boys a certain amount of work as a task for the week, and if they could finish by” the middle of Saturday afternoon and. have a few hours for play, they were happy. Although as a child I naturally thought I was having a pretty hard time, my tasks looked easy in com parison ’with those of my fa ther. HOWEVER, my dad said his father used to tell him that life was even grimmer in his boyhood days. He was left an orphan when but a boy and at the age of 12 had to shoulder the responsibilities for his mo ther and the younger children. I can even remember hearing him tell of hauling cotton to Augusta (that was the market for that section in those days), some 35 miles away, with a team and wagon, selling the staple and buying groceries & clothing for the family. This was when he was in his early teens and he made the trip alone, requiring several days and camping out along the road. His accounts of boyhood experiences made my father’s look soft, as did my father’s stories of his childhood make mine seem easy. lk TURN. I tell the younger generation how I started to work in a newspaper office at the age of 13, putting in all my spare time after school and on Saturdays, for 50c a week. In the summer I worked from 7 till 6. six days a week, and after a couple of years was supposed to be earning the munificent sum of $4 a week. (Often this was only a promise and was not actually paid.) I tell them of how, previous to that, I plowed and worked in A. F. Bush, supplies 6.50 Newberry Lumber Co., lumber 146.65 S. C.

(But I did get to go to school—my father had only a few months a year, and my grandfather practically none.) I SUPPOSE the young man of today will tell his children of his tough boyhood days, how he had to walk several blocks to school- at times when the family car was broken down or when the bus failed to run. He Will relate how he had to stay in a classroom five hours a day, five days a week; of how sometimes education even took precedent over football and other athletics: how he took a job after finishing school, start ing to learn a trade at only $20 to $25 a week, laboring 8 hours a day from Monday thru Friday, with only a week off at Christmas and two weeks vacation in the summer. He will tell how he could afford only one car, and sometimes had to wait as long as two years before buying a new one. He will relate with indig nation how a hard-hearted boss complained sometimes more or less mildly if he came in at 9 instead of 8:30 in the morn ing's, or was over 15 minutes late returning from lunch. He will probably make his children feel sorry for ooor old dad. THEN I look further into the future and wonder what the children of the next genera tion will tell a later crop of kids. I can foresee something like this: ‘‘Son. school was a trying ordeal in my boyhood days; we actually had to attend two days a week. Once when a storm put the ambulators elevators and esculators out of operation, we even had to walk from room to room and from floor to floor. And once an old-fashioned teacher wanted us to take a test, but when the trustees learned of it they promptly fired her—they knew we kids wouldn’t stand for anything like that! And one week we had only two holi days, not counting Saturday and Sunday, of course. Yes, the young folks had a hard life in those days. I remember one time the electronic starter on my car wouldn’t work, and I actually had to push it with my foot! And there was the time mamma brought home by mistake some unmasticated food of a former age, and we children actually had to chew it—or gum it rather, as we had lost our teeth from disuse years before. Yes, the last of the 1900’s were rugged days, and you kids should be very happy that you are living in the twenty-first century. You softies of today couldn’t stand FOUR MEN ENLIST FOR ARMED SERVICE The Newberry Recruiting Sta tion of the Army and Air Force announced today 'that during the past week four applicants had been enlisted for service in the Army and Air Force.

Yes, that’s the way it goes; each generation has it easier and easier, and grows softer and softer. Sometimes I won der if the human race isn’t headed back to the pre-historic jelly form of life from which it probably came. Who knows? to f m m * Hi If: J | m 5| s _ < '! M I PROUD OF JUNIOR?
