SARAH AND THE SEA
By June Reed Ruff
S ARAH was a small woman,
delicately boned, and as thin
’inter shadows. She had dark
that harbored secert dreams,
and small, keen ears that listened
to incessant sea-sounds.
The years had been kind to
S<rah, her dark brown hair
allowed only a wisp of gray, and
the tiny lines around her eyes
and mouth only added to her look
of innocence. In many ways,
i$arah, was innocent, for her home
Iras off the beaten track and she
heard little of the world’s per
versions.
A wood fire blazed brightly on
the stone hearth, by its light Sa
rah’s nimble fingers restored the
worn heel of a heavy woolen sock.
•The wind is wild tonight,” she
mentioned, jabbing the heavy steel
darning needle through the sock,
with ease bom of long practice.
The dim, comfortable room still
echoed the inviting aroma of sup
per’s stew and hot biscuits. Sarah
bit the thread free of the finished
dam, then paused to listen to the
roaring-breaker sounds outside
of the cabin. She awarded the
window an apprehensive glance,
knowing that beyond the cabin’s
sod roof, gray clouds were gath
ering like mouldy dough, obscur-
tng the frozen moon.
She angled her head slightly to
look at Aaron. There was security
in his angular, weather-etched
face. For a moment, Sarah won
dered how he would look at the
helm of a ship, his lean, muscular
arms «**n^nging the thrashing
«f the sea, to hold his
storm tossed vessel on course.
Aaron was a good man. The
years of their marriage had been
pleasant, in spite of hard work,
the heartbreaking disappoint
ment they shared when they
learned Sarah could never bear
a child. In a way, Aaron seemed
to thrive on the incessant toil,
perhaps it helped him to forget
he would never have a son. But
there was no escape for Sarah,
in work or anything else. Her
heart was like an empty cradle,
a constant, aching reminder of
her barrenness.
Children were meant to harbor
a woman’s dreams, and to soak
up her endless tenderness, like
small thirsty blotters. A woman
is born to mother a child, with
wisdom and emotional depth only
a child can bring into being. And
if there is no child, when the
dream of one is hopelessly dead,
if a woman is to live without bit
terness she must find another
dream. Even an insignificant
dream is better than no dream
at alL
She gathered up the mended
sock and replaced thread and
needle in her neat darning bask
et. Maybe tomorrow would be a
good day to walk along the beach
in search of curious marine crea
tures, and bright sea shells
washed in by the raging tide.
In her mind’s eye, Sarah could
see the wide sky heartbreakingly
blue against scattered white
wisps of storm clouds, while the
sun discovered sparkling jewels
in the platinum sand, and it’s own
reflection in the amazing green
water.
Sarah rose and walked to the
window to peer out at the blind,
black night. Her dream of the
sea was a small dream, but it
comforted her and she cherished
it, although she knew that tomor
row she would rise and gaze out
on a familiar white world, where
morning sounds would be muted
by the weight of new snow. There
would be the protesting creak and
crack of pine boughs shattering
the frozen stillness to fling their
icj^ burdens earthward, while
austere, silver-sheened peaks
ringed the valley like a crown.
Tomorrow would be just another
day on the small, isolated moun
tain farm. But somewhere far
away, the sea Sarah had never
seen would throb against an alien
shore, scattering small secrets
from its c ark depths upon the
sunlit sand.

From Mrs. Arthur Green, Brad
ley, Illinois: I remember when
there were very few commodi
ties coming to us from the local
stores. We milked cows, oh, many
cows. I could milk long before
I was old enough to go to school.
The butter not consumed was
carefully molded in pound pat
ties, stored in the “freeze pit” of
the well and marketed on Sat
urday. Eggs were also traded or
sold for cash,,
In the fall, dad took the wheat
to die mill at Perrysville and
traded it for flour. Likewise the
corn was traded for meaL Maple
syrup was made at a sugar grove
near our house. Apples, pears,
potatoes and onions were stored
in the cellar. Sweet corn was
dried as was a portion of beef.
The winter supply of pork was
home-smoked and stored. Some of
it was salted down. Cabbage and
turnips were cached in the gar
den, well covered with straw.
Sugar was purchased by the
barrel, at the beginning of the
canning season. Coffee came in
the whole grains and we ground
it in a little square grinder held
on our lap. Later, Mom pur
chased a fancier one which was
fastened to the wall.

From Paul Morgan, Los Ange
les: I remember the distance I
walked to school was three miles,
round trip. I remember the big
baskets of erasers filled with
chalk dust that were handed to
Tie to take outside and clean.
Today kids have steam heated,
lir cooled schools and a bus that
stops at the door for them. But,
vho knows, fifty years from now
today’s children will look back
and say, “Those were the rugged
aid days.”
WORLD OUTDOORS
T HOUGH the fable says he lost
the race to the creeping turtle,
the lowly hare, rabbit or cotton
tail, as you prefer, is fast on his
feet and swift as can be—as be
fits America’s most popular game
animal. / -
The occasional news stories
about villagers organizing “stick”
brigades to combat the invasion
of hungry hares is something oi
a joke to the average nimrod who
has to tromp the lespedeza fields
and stomp the brush piles to even
get a shot as Mr. Cottontail. In
areas where rabbits are more
than plentiful, some hunters gel
few, or none at all, because thej
aren’t wise to the ways of theii
quarry.
The inexperienced rabbit hunt
er usually makes several mis
takes—he moves too fast, there
by “walking over” more rabbits
than he sees; he doesn’t check
the most likely places (walking
through a field isn’t enough; to
get your quota of rabbits, cover
it thoroughly); he shoots too
fast at game that jumps beneath
his feet; often blasts away at
game that is well outside effec
tive killing range.
Too much noise means fewer
rabbits. Kick a brush pile when
you reach it, but don’t stumble
through the woods. Don’t walk
too fast. Take a few steps, pause
and look about you. If you hur
ry, the wise bunny will huddle in
a weed patch or some other cov
er and let you pass^ight on by.
When you pause, he becomes sus
picious and decides to make his
dash for a new hiding place.
A shot made in haste is apt to
be a poor shot either way—it’s
usually a miss but even if it is a
hit, at extremely close range the
kill Is so thoroughly damaged as
to make It hardly worth lugging
in a game bag.
