THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1958 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER As a kid in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork, ducks were my dish. My brother had guineas for his. But my fancy went with ducks, .and I had a goodly flock. We never could eat those pets. It would have been like eating the cat. But when they overgrew our capacity, we’d reluctantly sell off a batch, after a lot of parental persuasion. Eggs and poultry were our legal tender. The country stores all took them in place of money. And the huckster wagon of Mr. .Sile Ellisor came by about once a week. When he got a load, he’d take ’em to Columbia, 20 miles away. We seldom went there, but would often send by Mr. Sile for things needed from town. We didn’t have a streamnear enough for my ducks to reach. So I kept water in the arched iron door from an old stove behind a lattice of sticks driven in the ground and through which they could reach for water, but not get in it and mess it up. You know, a duck is just made for water, or water for the duck. So I know mine suffered for water to play in, liice we kids did when we were small. For our creek was a mile away. But when a rain came, my ducks really had their day. They’d play in that water until practically exhausted. And would still wallow there when only damp spots were left in the low places. For my baby ducks I’d some times draw several buckets of cool clear water on a hot day, put it in a tub there under the mulberry tree, and put them in it. Such cav orting and playing you never saw. In the chilly water, they’d soon get blueish looking around the bill, eyes, and feet, like we would if we stayed tco long in the creek, and I’d take them out. Once my brother and I had reached this point with my duck lings and wondered if my moth er’s first batch of about a dozen chicks about the size of a part ridge might not like to swim too. So I got a stick and minded the fussy old hen back while my brother grabbed up several of the chicks. We tried them one at a time. They hated the water and frantically swam for the edge. We’d push’em back. Soon their feathers were wet and they could swim no more. We made’em try until they were almost drowned. Our mother returned home about that time, checked on us, and gave both of us thrashings for chilling her chicks and not knowing they couldn’t swim like ducks. We .didn’t forget this after that.

It was brought out by Mr. Schumpert that the school needed a refrigerator for the milk. He explained the pro gram to us and stated that this was the only new development this year. A committee was sent out to gather information and make a report to our next PTA meeting. We had a very good statement from Mrs. Grant on the milk pro gram. Rev. J. R.
