Balloon Busters-Tie a balloon to
the ankle of every girl at the party.
The object of the dance that fol-
lows is for the girls to burst each
others balloons. The boys are the
steering committee, steering their
partners into strategic positions for
bursting other girls balloons or pro.
tecting their own. Last one with a
balloon wins prize. She may need
an aspirin. too.
Paper Dolls-Each boy is equipped
with old newspapers, scissors and
paper of pins. Within a specific
time he must create a newspaper
dress on his partner. Cleverest de.

and his victim. She also receives as
sorted stabs and pin pricks.

60 in the front door. But he fol-
lowed him, some strange knowing
ness urging him to get his answer
confirmed. To make sure that was
it.
The old man was bent over fun
bling around on the floor for the
worn leather change purse he'd
dropped, when the boy walked in.
His hand closed on the purse and
he Strengthened quickly.
Here, boy" he said hurriedly,
digging into the pouch. Run down
to the corner and get me a paper!"
He often asked him to do that,
and the boy felt rise of that good
feeling at anything he could do
for the old man. He held out his
hand and the old man laid three
coins in his palm.
Nov hurry, boy!" he urged
harshly. The boy felt disappoint-
ment at the sharp, urgent tone,
until he glanced down at the coins.
Suddenly, he stood very still. Two
dimes and a penny lay in his hand
to pay for the three-cent paper.
Waves of GOODNESS washed up his
spine as the bitter acid of knowl-
edge bit into his nerve ends and
settled in his brain.
He made no outcry; not even the
sound of murmur passed his
tight lips. But hot liquid emotion
scalded two lines of silent tears
down his cheeks as he gazed,
knowingly at last, up into his
fathers slowly binding eyes.
"Okay, dad!" he said. his voice
stumbling over his heart, "Okay,
dad!'

him. He called him the old man
when he was with the other boys
his age, not with any disrespect,
but he always called him dad
around his mother.
"Oh, leave your father alone, can't
your" she said. And he went
away sensing an even greater
wrong.
Even little Rosemary, the girl
he talked to shyly in the school
yard sometimes, seemed to be
treating him different lately.
Whats wrong with your" she'd
ask right in the middle of his Won
dering what was wrong with the old
man and his MON.
"Oh, nothing-nothing!" he'd say
quickly. "Why?"
well, you don't talk near SO
much anymore, she'd say, land
you seem so far away like!"
He wondered if just not paying
any attention to her while he was
thinking about his dad and nom
made her think there was some

thing wrong with him. Or if maybe
there was really something wrong
with him.
He hated the thought, but it kept
cropping up in his mind. Maybe he
was adopted! Maybe the old man
and his nom were not really his
father and mother, but had just
adopted him-and he was just now
finding it out. The thought fright
ened him, and he buried it deep in
his mind. If it was true, he'd be
like the old man; hide his hurt.
He'd never let them know he

like he had. And he was sharp, al
most harsh sometimes.
He WAS bouncing his ball off the
- side of the house when the old
man came around from the back
yard. In an excess of boyish Joy, he
forgot for a moment what the situa-
ton was between them. He threw
the ball to the old man. Instead
of catching it and firing it back
so it would sting his hands the old
man ignored it. He did nothing till
the ball hit him, and bounced
harmlessly off his shoulder.
He tensed then, lifted his cane,
"Stop that internal nonsense, boy!"
he yelled.
The boy could feel his own lip
tremble as he stared at the old
mans angry face. He took a deep

Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-12-17

THE Tow-Headed Boy with the
L hair close cropped didn't know
what it was. The old man spent
hours just gazing off into space.
He sat on the top front porch step,
his cane between his knees, his
feet planted on the second step and
the cane end set on the bottom
one. With his hands crossed over
the cane head, the right hand
carefully covered the jagged scar
across the back of the left one.
Other times, when the boy was
around, he always seemed busy
reading the newspaper. He kept it
folded so he could hold it with one
hand, the Scared hand concealed
in his lap.
OF course, he had never been
very talkative. Stole, like the hill
people he came from, he never
mentioned his troubles. When he'd
chopped his hand with an ak out
in the back yard he'd sneaked
through the kitchen hiding the man.
gled bloody member behind him
SO the boys mother wouldn't see.
The boy had stood in the front
room wide-eyed and anxious with
fear when the old man saw him.
Don't tell your mother, boy!"
he'd warned before he went into
the bedroom to tear up an old sheet
for wrapping his hand.
But the boys mother had noticed.
She sensed the strange atmosphere,

him into the bedroom, and the boy
had heard the old man shushing
her, while she bawled him out for
hiding the thing. He kept saying
it was nothing-and afterwards he
never talked about it, never COM
planned. He just never let anyone
see the jagged scar across the
back Of his hand if he could help it.
Now, the old man was with
drawn; he couldn't get near him
anymore, couldn't talk to him.
Once, he'd been able to get kind
word out of the old man. He'd
say, THAT'S good, Toni" or,
That's not the way that ought to
be done, Son!" And though there
weren't very many words between
them, they were the kind that made
the boy feel good, and know that
everything was all right.
Now, it was different. The old
man didn't seem to have time for
him. He didn't want to take their
long silent walks together anymore,
like he used to. And he didn't move
around much. He even seemed to
resent the boys presence, like
when he'd stumbled that time in
the front room and caught himself
on his cane. He growled at the boy,
leaving him speeches. and hurt.
But he wasn't old, not like Grampa
-and-and the old mare down on
the farm.
Still, the last time he'd brought
his report card home from school,
happily expecting the old man to
| say, as he sometimes did, THAT'S
good, Son, good that you're getting
your learning!" and smile at him
quietly, he hadn't done it.
He'd only glanced at the card on
one side then turned it over and
said something that sounded like
"Humph!" and handed it back to
him shortly. The boy had worked
extra hard that last month to get
the grades up hoping the old man
might break through to him again.
He couldn't understand that short
"Humph!"
There was something wrong, and
the boy wondered if it could be him.
His mother seemed to act the same
way toward him. Cut him off short,
when he'd tried awkwardly to ask
her about how dad was treating

Improved Posture Giues Slim,
Poised Look to Any Figure
Bv Elizabeth TAYLOR

HOLLYWOOD ANA).-Keeping
the figure trim involves three i'm
portant factors.
The first is exercise, which you
should do in some form every day.
My favorite is horseback riding
which is an excellent exercise for
the hips and thighs. Every free
moment spend riding my horse,
King Charles, which was given to
me by the studio on my 18th
birthday. He is the horse I rode
in my first picture, National Vel
vet"
The second factor is the battle
with your appetite. Unless you are
one of the lucky few who can eat
and eat and never gain an ounce,
you will have to watch out for fat
tening foods.
When get hungry between meals,
instead of taking a candy bar, I eat
an apple. Apples are not only good
for you, but they have one-fifth the
amount of fattening calories con-
tanned in a candy bar.
The third factor is posture, which
I am going to talk about most be-
cause I just recently learned how
to walk properly.
To begin with, my favorite pos
ture exercise is to lie on my back
and try to touch the whole spine,

two strings on the floor, about two
inches apart in a straight line, and
practice walking on them. The i'm
portant thing is to keep both feet
straight ahead with each step.
Proportion your stride to your
height and the length of your
legs. You can test your stride while
walking, by keeping the head
straight and dropping the eyes. If
the toes can be seen, then the
stride is too long
Care should be taken to keep the
toes only just out of view-for short
mincing steps are likewise unat-
tractive.
Walk lightly at all times. Nothing
is more unladylike than feet brought
down heavily with each step. 1t is
also important to remember that
the weight must be distributed
evenly on each leg to avoid a hip
wobble.
The secret to a graceful stairway
walk" is never to unbend the knees,
I always pause at the top of the
stairs, place my hand on the rail,
and then descend by putting the ball
of my foot on the stair. The back
is kept straight and the body is
not allowed to sway from side to
side. The feet are placed straight
ahead each time in an imaginary
line about two inches apart. The
knees are kept continually bent
and are rotated toward each other
for a graceful, smooth descent.
