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.

would like for the principal to
say in the next meeting what the
PTA could do or buy for the
school this year. 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. Ezell concluded the
meeting with prayer.
Mrs. Genell Ruff, Reporter.
