BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Each family in the Stone Hills
of the Dutch Fork garnered a
large bundle of broom straw from
an old field in the fall and kept
it hanging from the rafters of
the smoke house or wagon shed.
That was to try to keep it away
from rats. For they’d nest in it
and cut and stink up the straw.
About once a month the house
wife would make a new broom
from her straw supply.
To do that, she’d get about
half again as much as the finish
ed broom would be. She’d hold it
at mid-section and comb it back
towards the base with an ordin
ary fork like you eat with. That
would peel off the blades and
clean the straw on the end you’d
hold. This cleaning took a good
while.
When the straw was all clean
ed, you cooped it with your
hands and tapped the butt ends
on the table until they were all
even.
In later years, we used strong
strings to tie the cleaned sections
of the straw firmly together. But
before good strong strings were
common, I can well’ recall when
we used oak splits, like we made
baskets and chair bottoms with.
You’d start about a foot from the
cleaned end, run one end of the
split through the straw just so it
did not quite come out the other
side. Then a firm wrap held it
securely there, as' you wound the
split in about two inch circles
around the straw to the end.
There you gave the split an extra
warp and ran it through the butt

and Mrs. Everett Edmund of
Asheville, N. C., who will remain
for a week’s visit. Little Thomas
Loftis who has been with his
grandparents for two weeks re
turned home with his parents,
the Mills.
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Givens and
their son of Sumter spent the
weekend with Mrs. Givens’ par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Mer
chant.
With Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Wes-
singer for Easter were Mr. and
Mrs. Elisha Abrams of Bennetts-
ville; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Pinson
of Cross Hill; Mr. and Mrs. Ru
dolph Oswald, Rudy Oswald and
Betty Oswald and Miss Pat Domi

Minnie T. Tidmarsh to the

end, .pulling it firmly before cut
ting it off even with the straw.
Then you'd swish that new-
made broom against a post until
any remaining downy bloom parts
floated away. If a few straws
were longer than the others, you’d
clip them off, so as to give the
broom a good fluffy sweeping
part.
This new broom was used for
general sweeping. The old stub
by one from before was kept to
sweep around the hearth with and
get stuff out of the cracks.
Memories, memories, of boy
hood in the Stone Hills of the
Dutch Fork! And seeing an old
lady by the road near Johnston
carrying her bundle of new wrung
straw last fall recalled all of
these pleasant thoughts of a day
that is gone.
