THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1956 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE BOYS ARE THAT WAY By M. ELEAZER Last week I told you of the Colored boy, the geese, and the hogs drinking the dregs from my mother’s wine-making on a July day. The aftermath of that thing was ridiculous. First to succumb was the geese. Soon after the hogs ran them away they started staggering and falling around and quacking strangely and merrily. Soon their long necks became limp and they just stretched out and slept. The Colored boy was getting groggy too. Tickled at the geese, he soon lay on the grass and join ed them in that oblivious sleep of the drunk, next to death itself. The pigs were the last to get their libation. They drank all they could get, and then wallowed in the moist red clay that was left. But there had been enough for their fill too. And soon they were staggering. They were playful at first, would arch their backs with a quick jerk, grunt loud, and jump friskily around. But one by one they lost their footing after such anantic. And they squirmed there on the ground a bit. But, alas, the heavy sleep was not long then in overpowering them too. And the barnyard was quiet again out there. But the sight was a rare one. That over-grown Colored boy we had raised and liked so well wa$ plumb dead to all entreaties from this world, as he lay, face up, in the mid-day sun. The geese with necks stretched out in un natural fashion, were strange sights to behold, scattered over the grass clear down to the plum thicket. The hogs alone lay in natural position. But they to had ARMY CHIEF . . . Gen. Henry I. Hodes was appointed com- mander-ln-chlef of U. S. Army In Europe, succeeding Gen. Anthony McAuliffe.

As comical as it was, we were a bit uneasy. For what if they didn’t awaken? We had never seen a person, a goose, nor a hog in a sleep so deep. Specially in daytime. So our extreme amuse ment was mingled with concern, specially among the grown folks. But towards the cool of evening, life started oozing back into the limp forms that had lain motion less down there on the grass for hours: It was then that we could laugh- unrestrained.

State Di rector of Selertive Service, an- noupced today that recent changes in Selective Service regulations will, in most instances, result in deferment for married men who have a child or children with whom they are maintaining a bona fide family relationship. Und^r the new order of selec tion for induction, a married fath er will not be selected for induc tion so long as there are available to the local board, non-fathers be tween the age of 19 and age 26. J. Dave Caldwell, chairman of Local Board No. 36, Newberry, emphasized that when a registrant becomes a father, it is most es sential that this information be reported to the local board imme diately «in order to establish eli gibility for deferment. Evidence of fatherhood must be presented in writing to the local board, or by by exhibiting the child’s Birth Certificate to the local board. The board’s office is located at the County Court House in Newberry and is open each day from 8:30 a. m. to 5 p. m., Monday through Friday.

Before leaving home we had a thorough scrubbing. Necks, elbows, eart, knees and feet gave up their accumulation of rust and grime under the vigorous rub bing of the washcloth yielded by our mother. Having a naturally dark-looking neck, I would just about as well stay home as under go the scrubbing. We girls wore lohg-waisted white dresses, black stockings and black shoes (if we happened to have shoes that would fit us, for all summer long we went barefooted). We four girls all had straw hats just alike, with black ribbon streamers down the backs and rubber elastic bands under the chin to keep them from blowing off so much and ruining father’s disposition. The baby, the only boy, wore a little turned up straw hat and a boy dress with pat ent leather belt. He had high-topped button shoes with a patent leather band around the tops and a tassel. It was seven miles downhill to town. We rode in a hack or wagon behind a spirited team, and the fine dust billowed back on us all the way. (Now, I wonder why jwe had the vigorous scrubbing to start with). Some people had long tan duster coats to keep off the dust, but we weren’t so fortunate.

ABRAMS, Sec^Treos. 1117 BOYCC STREET THE BELFAST BUILDING NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA SPORTS AFIELD A fly line should be selected to match the power of your fly rod, because if there is not a close har mony between these two import ant items of equipment the finest caster in the world will have dif ficulty in making the line carry a .fly to a designated spot. Accord ing to Robert D. Hall, angling ex pert of Sports Afield magazine, the line is what we cast and not the fly—the fly just rides along on the end of the leader. There are more than 10,000 patterns of trout flies And ex pert trout anglers agree that using a fly of the right size is of ex treme importance. They also agree that HOW you fish the fly is far more important than pattern or size. Ninety-nine per "cent of all darT- gerous snakes in this country would avoid man if they could. TJhis means, according to anar- ticle in Sports Afield magazine, that nearly all bites result from the person’s carelessness, not from the snake’s belligerence. The four poisonous species here —coral, cottonmouth, copperhead and rattlesnake—are not aggres sive. There are no poisonous snakes in Maine; the greater part of New Hampshire and Vermont; upper Michigan and northern Wiscon sin; northern and central Minne sota; eastern North Dakota; and Washington and Oregon west of the Cascade range. Furthermore, states Sports Afield magazine, they are also nearly nonexistent in areas above 5000 feet altitude in the eastern U. S., and in areas above 11,000 feet in the Western part of the country. The weatherman ' frequently speaks of “fronts.” In reality these fronts are nothing more than the leading edge of air mass es which continually move across the United States in a general west to east direction. When they pass a given spot, a change in the weather usually occurs. And, ac cording to Sports Afield magazine in almost every case this alsp causes an important change in fishing conditions. When choosing a fly rod, don’t worry about its weight—this is not important. Jason Lucas, the angling expert for Sports Afield magazine, recommends a rod with medium trout dry-fly action, ab solutely no longer than 8 feet. THULE.
