Toys do not last long but there are toys or parts of toys in every house. Playpens have rattles and plastic toys. The children play card games like old maid and donkey. Older teenagers are good at cribbage, and also a favorite game among adult fishermen. One boy had a set of Monopoly.
Checkers are dominoes are played as long as new sets remain intact.
Radio listening is as popular among the older children as among adults, and several teen-agers collect records of popular hit tunes. Events like holidays and birthdays do not ordinarily receive special attention. And I am 13 years old today. Few daily adult activities go unnoticed or unobserved by the children. Whenever the adults are busy with their tasks one can expect to find a child or group of children watching the work or playing nearby.
