VOL. 14—NO. 15 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1951 + $1.50 PER YEAR BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Last week I told you of those pineapple ices at our country drug store in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork on Saturday afternoons. That ice cream up from Columbia on the noon train. The great block was in a large sack with sawdust all around It. Another delightful concoction they made there was a vanilla milk ice. Glass was filled with hand-shaved ice, homemade vanil la syrup added .and about two spoonfuls of condensed milk add ed and stirred good. From childhood those things have stood out as tops in refresh ful eating on a hot afternoon. And 1 often wondered if it was just an illusion of childhood. To find out, last summer I got a canvas bag and wooden maul. With that I crushed some ice cubes into a veritable snow. I put the vanilla-flavored syrup I had made in, and then stirred in the condensed milk. Then I rear ed back on the front porch a _ xd ate that slowly. It tasted about as good as ever. And soon the sweat stopped too, it was so cooling. The rest of the family joined me with it. And soon we were making the syrup by the quart. After working in the yard a while we all get large glasses of the “milk ice” of old and have and old-time set-to there on the porch. Another thing they had at Colonel Frick’s country drug store w r as a lot of penny candy in a glass showcase, the first one I had ever seen. Penny pieces were sizable chunks of candy then, as big as a nickel piece now. And they were always six for a nickel. In fact everything was that way. On our occasion al trips to Columbia we always got some “Bakers’ Bread.” It sold for five cents, but we al ways got six loaves for a quarter. I meant to tell you about that clock at Colonel Frick’s drug store that collected the money and paid dividends. But I don’t have space now. Will teli you that next w r eek, unless I get "«ett!&tra£ked tm somethittg else again.
