focus. l thought wanted a rest - then get
bored around here. But / don't want to 60 to
work yet. We've got enough money for a
couple of months. Maybe in that time I'll
find something want to do
Il know you WILL" Helen said. But she
didn't say it confidently and gaily like she
said to Towie, Tomorrow we II bake cookies,
won't we, Towie?" She said it as if she were
puzzled. And hurt.
Another time Dad said, The trouble is,
Helen, can't tell you about it. Sure, know
I'd feel better if could talk. But you would
MT understand it. You weren't there. could
tell you about it from now until next Tues
you couldn't feel it. No one has ever gone
through anything like this before; that's all
can tell you, because you - we'll, you just
couldn't understand it,"
He was shouting the last sentence so that
Towie could hear the words clear into the
kitchen.
And after that things just were not right
any more.
lHINGS still weren't right when he walked
down the street alone with his dad, bound
for the barber shop. When you went with
Nom everything was game; you jumped
from one crack in the sidewalk to the other,
and when you hit right on one Nom said
'Wh-e-e-e" and laughed. Or Nom said, bet
you. can't catch that butterfly. " Or if
sometimes you stumbled Nom would sing,
"Towie is horse, Towie is horsep
But Dad - he walked pretty fast, so you
had to hurry to keep up; Dad didn't know any
Evening star., 1945-12-30

after the way Nom had always talked about
him.
The barber shop was big place, with
queer, buzzing noises in it and funny-looking
men stretched out with foamy white faces.
And some men were sitting up with white
sheets on, so all you could see was their
heads.
The buzzing noise never stopped.
Gee, he wished Nom was here.
Dad lifted him into the chair. Here we go,
Son, our first haircut" he said. And Towie
sat rigidly, frozen suddenly with fear, while
the barber tied sitting something around
his neck.
Now those buzzing noises came from all
over. They were terrifying. Then there was
a more horrible buzzing by Towie's ear, and
he could feel something hard and warm on
the back of his neck.
TERROR surged through him, sickening him
and he screamed; he couldn't help it. He tried
to scream "Mom-mom- -mom," but he could
only open his mouth and let the sound pour
out.
He tried to struggle but he was para
lyzed The buzzing kept on, insistent and
horrible. The hard, warm clipper moved ter
rifyingly up and down the back of his neck.
Towie's father spoke sharply to the barber.
That's enough. Well come back again and
try it tomorrow.
The tight, terrible binding was being re-
moved from around Towie's neck He was
being lifted out of the barber chair.
Dad had picked him up before, many
times. Kind of awkwardly, as if he didn't
know how to handle little guys. Nom was
the one who knew best how to pick up little
guys, but -
Dad had never handled him like this before.
So confidently.
Nom was gentle, but Dad why, his
arms just covered you.
Nobody has to be frightened like that,
Towie," he said.
Dads voice was so quiet. 50 low. His voice
made you get over being afraid.
They were sitting outside on the bench in
front of the barber shop, Towie Graded in
strong arms.
Il know what it's like, Towie," Dad said.
You're helpless. You're alone. That's what
nobody understands. That's what you can't
tell people"
1T WAS awful hard to breathe. Dad was
holding him so tight. And Dads face was in
his hair, like Nom put hers there, and Dad
was talking so softly, so slowly and gently:
We've found it, haven't we, Towie? Every.
body has to do it alone 1t doesn't make anv
difference where or what And we all share
it you in a barber chair - your mother
these years alone, worrying - me at St. Lo
.., but we all 60 through it alone That's the
way we grow up, Towie boy
Evening star., 1945-12-30

another person in the house would make so
so many things that Dad didn't like - the
soldiers for instance.
Well, the way it had been with the soldiers
was that when Dad came home, when he
actually sat there in the chair by the fireplace
where Nom always sat and Nom sat across
the room in the other chair, Nom was telling
Dad that he looked tired and that he had
lost so much weight. There wasn't much for
little guy to do - there wasn't much place
for little guy, it seemed like so he went
and got his box of soldiers and the toy tank,
and brought them into the living room
Right then Dad got a funny look on his
face, and when he spoke there was sharp
ness to his words, the sort of sharpness that
Towie had never heard before in peoples
voices: Helen are those the only toys Towie
has?"
mo -"
Then let's put them away. Let's never
have Towie even play with soldiers should
we?"
So the soldiers and the toy tank went out
of sight, and the old stuffed horse and the
blocks - well, they were all right of course,
but they weren't the same
lot of things weren't the same Towe
heard strange, new words and sometimes -
like the way Dad talked about the soldiers -
he heard hard, sharp edges to them. There
was one word in particular; Towie couldn't
even begin to say it but it was something like
''readjustment"

said That's the trouble Nothing looks in

THowIE awoke with great feeling of ex-
Il pectancy. For a moment he couldn't think
what was causing it. Then he remembered.
This was the day he got his hair cut!
He scrambled out of bed suddenly. shout
ing so that it was almost song - "Mom-
-mOm-mOm
1t didn't occur to Towie to sing, Dad
dad-dad-dad =. )" for till last week, there'd
been no such creature in his life. The world
was MON"
But now there was this stranger who wore
the pretty ribbons on his breast - and be-
cause he was here, Towe was going to get
his first haircut by real barber.
Helen, it's shame the way you let that
youngsters hair grow" Granny used to say.
Its getting beyond the place where you
can do it yourself Why don't you take him
to barber?"
But Nom wouldn't do that. She did the
best job she could herself.
A BOYS father should do that" she'd tell
Granny. Dave has missed all there is of
Towie so far. But at least he's going to take
him to get his first real haircut" And then
Nom would hug Towie close and rumple his
sunny curls and she'd say, "A real barber
and real barber chair and electric clippers
and nice smellum and lots of powder and
everything - Oh what a day it will be when
Towie and his dad go to the barber the first
time"
The way she said it was almost song, too;
Towie would squirm and giggle in her arms
as she pressed her nose and face into the blond
hair, and everything was wonderful.
Now the day had come.
Towie, as he sang the "Mom-mom-mom
song, wondered how it would go. Maybe it
would be like lot of other things that had
happened since Dad had come home - not
quite like you expected.
