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

shucked off the cares of this
world and were in dreamless
sleep.
It was not all amusement for
us though. 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.

Draft Not To
Tek') Fathers
Co’onpi Jam^c Hunter. 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.

!l REMEMBER’
From Jessie Schmidt, Twisp,
Washington: I remember when we
children got to go to town only once
or twice a year. 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.

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.
