North Webster News BY MARY LEE WILLMAN

What they used to do!

While watching a glassy-eyed youngster, intent on operating a video game, this reporter couldn’t help but reflect on what people, children in particular, used to do for entertainment. No doubt there have been community dumps since the beginning of time but there always seemed to be at least one garage or barn in the neighborhood that was packed full of discarded “treasures.” In our neighborhood the household with the “treasures” also had two youngsters. Their garage produced boxes of elegant dress-up clothes and plenty of orange crates for building projects. It was a great blow to creative thinking when fruit was no longer shipped in wooden boxes. We built a car with an orange crate body and baby buggy wheels. Someone found an old steering wheel and an air horn. A couple of tin cans for headlights and ropes for the front wheels to the steering wheel and we were in business. There was room for a passenger so we all took turns pushing the car. being the driver or the passenger. We spent hours and days designing, building, test driving and perfecting our car. It was a wonderful learning experience in cooperation and creative thinking. Speaking of orange crates - it was quite the vogue, at that time, to make skirted dressing tables from orange crates. Two crates were set on end about two feet or more apart. A board that had been painted or wall papered was Ja id across the top then pretty material was nailed or thumbtacked around the edge of the board forming a skirt that covered the crates. Ribbon was then glued or stitched around the top so the nails didn’t show. The crates were placed with the open side forward so the wooden partition across the middle of the box

could be used as a shelf. It was an attractive, versatile and inexpensive piece of furniture. Hide-and-seek was a great favorite in our neighborhood until we had a scare that caused us to play something with more “togetherness.” Older youngsters were always responsible for smaller brothers and sisters and each one took his or her job seriously. One day there was about 15 of us playing hide-and-seek. After all the others were tagged or home free there was one little fella still missing. We hunted and called but he was no where to be found. Finally we decided to tell the mother of one of the older girls. She called the little boy’s mother and got the following story: “I saw him running across the yard and called him for dinner. He always takes a nap after lunch and he is in his room asleep now.” Later that day when the little boy was asked why he didn’t say he was playing hide-and-seek he looked puzzled for a second and then replied, “I guess I forgot.” The better part of one week we entertained ourselves with a dead cat, until my mother discovered our little secret and properly disposed of the poor critter. One of the boys had found the cat along the highway. It was flat as a pancake and stiff as a board but otherwise in good shape. We pulled it around in a wagon and played funeral at least once or twice a day We honestly tried to go ahead and bury the cat several times but just couldn’t go through with it. Each time we were about to fill in the hole someone would think of a hew game or activity where we could use the cat. Many a summer’s day was spent building a tent or playhouse. We had one of the largest lawns on the block and sometimes it looked like a tent city. Any youngster who could find

an old blanket or bedspread was welcome to set up housekeeping. We shared mud pie meals, dolls, dress-up clothes, family pets and lolly pops. We played ball, tag, jumped rope, turned the garden hose on each other and in general had a fantastic time. We used our inrlaginations to create our entertainment and good times. Pity the child who has his entertainment purchased and programmed, with little opportunity to experience or develop that special something that is referred to around the world as good old, “Yankee Know How!” Rural Neighbors plan for anniversary Mary Hall was hostess for the July 25 meeting of Rural Neighbors Club.

GRANDMOTHER SAYS, ‘•lsn’t it strange? Russia takes desperate measures to keep people from getting out of that country. while the United States has trouble keeping people from coming into this country. Russia takes desperate measures to keep people out of churches; in the United States, where the government leaves people to worship as they choose, far too many do not take advantage of the privilege.” —o— HAPPY BIRTHDAY to: Phyllis Sheline, Aug. 2; Orpha Foster and Brian Rose, Aug. 4; Becky Boyer, Norma Sliger, Heather Waldrop.

US Olympic coins available at First National Bank

US Olympic silver and gold coins are minted by the US Treasury to raise funds for current and future Olympic hopefuls. This is the first government sponsored Olympic fund raising activity. This program was developed because the United States was the only country that depended upon private funds to train its Olympic contenders. These coins are a special momento of the first Summer Games to be held on American soil in 52 years. The US athletes need our support to capture the gold this year and in the future Olympics. These are the first Olympic coins ever issued by the US Mint. The gold coin, the first minted by the United States in over 50 years, is the first coin to ever bear the “W” mark from West Point. The two silver coins also mark an important first. The 90 percent fine silver coins are the first of this face value to be issued since 1935. These coins will never be issued again. No orders will be accepted after January 18, 1985. At that time, all remaining coins and dies will be destroyed and the Olympic Coin Program wijl be history. Proof minting is done with specially prepared dies. A handfed process, where each coin is struck several times, produces a high relief, finer detail, and a brilliant shine, this quality can
