BY the time Larry finished high school the
station had grown into cleaning white
garage with an all glass front. and when Pop
couldn't diagnose what was wrong with car
he would say, "Wait, III call Larry" Some
customers always asked for Larry first but
that didn't hurt Pops feelings.
WHEN the war broke out, Larry got into
the Air Force but he served in ground crews.
He wrote that he'd give his right arm to be
able to fly. But then couldn't fly if l
didn't have a right arm," he added face
tiously. which was why Pop didn't realize the
seriousness of his words.
When Larry came home he faced Pop and
said. ''You know Bud Harrison? went to
school with him. He was pilot during the
war. Well. he's managed to buy some old
crates and wants me to help fix them up.
We're going to open flying field just out
side of town.

He had returned to the bench, sitting here
ever since, trying to bring himself to phone.
But even at this moment of his life the most
important since he had married Kay, he
couldn't rid himself of all that he felt against
his father.
He had told Kay about it when they first
met. He had gone back to those early years
when he was boy and couldn't wait to get
home after school to make model airplanes.
Nom had complained about the mess
around the house. Pop said proudly, Il guess
he takes after me. He likes anything mechan-
ical. You come to the station after school,
Larry, and III keep you busy"
In those days Mr.. Thompson owned little
gas station at the corner of Myrtle and
Hanover Avenues. Larry learned to make
himself useful, putting water in the radiators
and checking tires while Pop filed the cars
with gas and OIL Later Pop gave him more
work to do. letting him tinker with engines,
too.

A Short Short Story

TARRY sat on the hard bench against the
IL wall, staring at the phone booth as if it
were magnet. trying to draw him toward it.
II ought to call him, ought to call him."
he repeated to himself but he couldn't lift his
body from the seat, bring himself to 60 to
the phone.
"Your first baby?" The nurse at the desk.
whose name was Mrs Robinson, seemed to
feel his tenseness way across the room. She
was stout gray-haired woman and she
smiled sympathetically. The first baby is
always the hardest for both parents, she
said. But it will all be over soon"
Larry's cheeks turned red, not so much
from embarrassment as from shamefaced
guilt. He hadn't been worrying about Kay,
not at the moment anyway.
He had seen Kay just before she went into
the delivery room. Her eyes looked 50 big,
her face thin and wan above the white ex-
panse of sheet. But she hadn't lost that
serenity which always made her so wonderful.
LARRY, if you'll phone your father. tell him
about me Il promise to make it boyr'
Until then his heart had been beating like
a whirling propeller, but it suddenly ceased
turning. the motor gone dead. Kay saw the
torture on his face and said, ''You don't have
to do it, darling. Wen love a girl just as
much."
He managed to call Happy landing. dar-

understand him at first. and Larry went on:
Il don't mean just as hobby, Pop" He
didn't want to hurt the old man but he had
to be more blunt about it. II mean for good.
I'm not going to lie under cars - have my
feet and back on the ground want to fly
fly"
At first the old man was stunned but then
he pleaded, Larry, you don't know what
you're saying! Why do you think l worked
all these years to build up the business? Why
do you think we stayed in that little house
and never moved into better placer We
I-put 50 much into the garage - for you -
so you'd have it all one day. for the rest
of your life"
esI'M SORRY. Pop But I've got to do this.
It's what want!'
Its what you want! All right - then
go!' The old man realized the fierceness of
Larry's determination; his face turned pur-
pie, his voice choked with rage. Go and -
don't ever come back. You CO." his voice
broke. II never want to see you againr
He should have known that Pop was man
of his word, but he told himself that the old
man would calm down, that they would make
it up one day..
He and Bud opened the airfeld. They would
never become milionaires at '.$5 Ride"
but it was the beginning of new life for
Larry. His resentment against his father
grew more bitter. That garage. which the old
man tried to say he had built for him, had
kept him from his happiness all these years.
When he met Kay, and they decided to
marry, he took her around to see Nom during
the day but he wouldn't 60 near his father.
Kay brought up the subject again when they
were expecting the baby. II don't have any
family, Larry. A baby ought to have at least
one grandfather -"
This baby will get along without any.
Good parents are more important than lot

ALE[I RE.LaLn
BY Ted Resting

Did you ever stop to consider
the important part the left hano
plays in fly casting? You use thai
left hand to add tip tension to the
back cast, thus giving distance and
ease; to retrieve line, meanwhile
working the fly; to set the hook
positively when to do so with the
rod tip would bring only missed
rises; and to play a fish
Jason Lucas, noted angling auth
GRITTY, has some interesting COM
ments on the first of these uses.
All tournament distance casters. and
many who fish for steelhead and
salmon in wide rivers, attain maxi
mum distance by employing what
has been known indiscriminately as
the double haul" or the "left-hand
haul"
Lucas differentiates between these
and also divides the latter into two
parts which he calls the shore left
hand haul and the long left-hand
haul Let's concentrate on the lat
ter two, since the double haul is
suited only for the very experienced
fly caster with good tackle.
The short left-hand haul is so
simple that anybody who can cast
a fly at all should catch onto it in
10 minutes. On your back cast, see
to it that your left hand, holding
the line is, say, as high as your
chest. Then, as you begin the for
ward cast, give a smooth, rather
quick tug down with that left hand.
This pulls more bend into the rod
tip, puts more power there. So if
your back cast is slightly listless
and weak, this will compensate TO
a great extent; if it had proper
snap, this haul will let you shoot
considerably more line than you
could have otherwise.
Remember that sometimes it will
be but gentle tug of a few inches;
on long cast, or casting into a
stiff wind-where this pull is in
valuable-there will be a longer,
sharper tug. Use a short pull at
first, until you get used to it.
/ recommend that even the be-
ginner try this method. He should
find himself casting more easily
and positively than ever before, and
be able to lay his fly neatly farther
off.
