What the, 9Aand$aiheA Qlxtclc £cuul I am a large old grandfather clock. 1 stand in the parlor of the Irwin home where I have ticked for years. I am always here and nothing escapes me . . . More than once have I witnessed the first tender kiss of young lovers ... I have been present at weddings . . Husbands have anxiously watched me until the doctor announced the arrival of a son or daughter . . Children practicing the piano often stole glances at me wish' ing that I were not so slow ... I have watched soldiers depart, some never to return . . . Matrons looked up from their reading and sighed because daughter had not returned from the party ... I have seen young men leave for college, proud and just a little reluctant . . . Funeral ser' vices have begun by the sound of my stroke . . . My tick has seemed as the throbbing pulse of a living household and now now the last of the Irwin family has moved to a city apartment. It seems unlikely that I'll ever strike again, so I stand and remember. —Mary Jane Lewis Oaaa Old Holiteui The old Holstein In the barn of pop Levin, Was an “ornry” critter to say the least, For such a fine domestic beast. Often to get her in the stall, Required poor dad and family all. She'd run, and dodge, and gallop. Till she earned for herself, many a wallop. To milk that cow at any time, Was surely worth many a dime. She’d switch her tail to swat a fly, But invariably caught dad in the eye. She'd step and stomp all around, Unless by rope or chain she’s bound, Then she’d glare with bulging eyes, 'Til it would scare us little guys. But happy day for dad and all, When they led her out of the bam and stall— For fair price was she led away, We all were glad—-She had gone to stay. —Bill Levin Udinxj, the, cunily, OaA After you have argued with your father for an hour or so, he unwillingly gives in and consents to your taking the family “bus.” While you are getting ready to leave, he is constantly jabbering and telling you what to do and what not to do, what speed to drive, how far to drive, where to drive, and what time to be in. (I know he does not care about what time you get in. It is the car that he is worrying about.) Well, when you are ready to leave, you jump into the car excitedly, get all set to go, and find out that you have forgotten the keys. You run back into the house and after much con-fusion and delay, you finally get the car started and you are on your way. First you check the gas. If the tank is full, you go around and pick up only your best friends and go someplace. If your gas supply is low, you pick up all the friends you can pack in the car (provided you have that many) and let them “chip in and buy some gas. After they have done this, you drive them around for a few minutes and then tell them you have to go home. Then they all get out and you and your special friends have enough gas to run you around for the rest of the evening. Second, you drive around the streets and honk the horn at all the girls you meet. Then you see how slow the car will go in high gear. If the gas supply is still holding out, you then take the car out on the highway to see how fast it will go. If you have not wrecked the car by then, you drive home carefully, sneak upstairs to bed and dream of the good time you had in the family car. —Bob Purdum Page 25
