TIL E P A S T
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

The term "underprivileged" is
much used these days, and it has
struck me that it is one subject to
Interpretation. In comparison with
today's children, the average small
town child of my generation would
certainly be considered underpriv-
LEGGED. In retrospect, it seems to
me that we, like Topsy, just
"growed." Outside of our formal
schooling, we didn't stake" any,
thing, but just picked up the ex-
tras by ourselves.
The average child of a family
with an average income (and some
below average) today is talking"
something. He or she takes ball
room dancing, tap dancing, SWIM
ming, baton twirling, art, driver
training. In the meantime, the
community is providing recreation
al facilities so that he will have
something to do in his spare time.
Now, this is not a criticism of
these things. Anything which
helps a child develop into a we'll
rounded person and gives him a
healthful outlet for his energies
is good. Times have changed and
perhaps it is we'll that children are
not left so much to their own de-
vices; but we didn't know what we
were missing so We didn't feel
underprivileged.
In our town there was, for a
brief period, a teacher of folk
dancing. After she had taught us
all to do the Highland Fling and
an Irish jig, l suppose there was
nothing left for us to learn and
she moved on. haven't tried late
ly to do either the fling or jig,
but maybe it was beneficial at the
time. AS for ballroom dancing, we
Just did what comes naturally and
taught each other in after-school
sessions and on Friday nights at
someone's home. It was rough on
the rugs and floors, but there was
no community center to take the
beating. Music? Well, someone
had to sit out a dance to wind
the victrola or play the piano.
When we tired of dancing, we
gathered around the piano and
sang-a pretty good form of self
expression.
AS for the other arts, we ac-
quired them by the same trial
and-error method. We had no paid
instructors for swimming or driv-
ing, but we managed. Baton twirl-

yards of the New Jersey Central
Railroad. "Old No. 1,000," a
switcher, it stayed in service until
1857.
By then there were only 2,404
steam locomotives in service in the
United States-and 27,211 diesel
electrics. Although the scattered
remnants of the proud species are
still at work. they are rapidly be-
ing retired. The best place to show
child one of these wonders is in
museum or park, where their
hulks are displayed like dinosaur
skeletons.

THE GREAT IRON HORSE
AND ERA OF STEAM HAS
REACHED END OF TRACK

Washington.-The great steam
engines that puffed and hooted
across the country have reached
the end of the track.
Though some survivors of the
storied breed work on freight
trains and on smaller lines, the
last steam passenger train on the
''high iron"-the main lines
chugged into memory in July.
The steamers were derailed by
diesel-electric engines that move
the goods more cheaply. But the
diesels seem to lack the appeal
that inspired generations of poets,
song-smith, and small boys yearn-
ing for adventure, the National
Geographic Society observes.
Diesels rarely call forth such
tributes as Thoreau's:
"When I hear the iron horse
make the hills echo with his snort
like thunder, shaking the earth
with his feet, and breathing fire
and smoke from his nostrils =.
it seems as if the earth had got
race now worthy to inhabit it."
Ruled A Century
The race reigned on the nations
rails more than 100 years. The
first experimental steam locomo-
tive in the United States was
built by Colonel John Stevens of
Hoboken, New Jersey, in 1925. 1t
ran on a circular track on his
lawn.
In 1929 two British locomotives
were delivered in New York. One
of them, the Stourbridge Lion,
was put to work in Honesdale,
Pennsylvania-the first steamer
to operate on a. commercial rail-
road in this country.
The Lion worked we'll enough,
but it's wooden track couldn't
handle the weight. The road re-
verted to horses and stationary
engines. Experiments and testing
continued, bringing such well-re-
membered scenes as the Baltimore
and Ohio's Tom Thumb losing a
race to a horse-drawn car.
The first steam locomotive to
make a regular scheduled run in
the United States was the "Best
Friend of Charleston" which pull
ed 141 passengers on Christmas
day, 1880. Only six miles of track
extended from the South Carolina
port. By 1888, the road had reach
ed Hamburg 1876 miles away.
Coasts are Linked
Then came a rash of locomo-
tives, bearing names that are still
remembered: the De Witt Clinton,
John Bull, Pioneer, Rocket, Sam
son. and Lion. Trackage snaked
farther and farther. In 1869, a
golden spike driven at Promontory,
Utah, linked the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts.
Trailing a pillar of smoke by
day and a shower of sparks by
night, the Iron Horse Numbered
back and forth across the country,
its great wheels and rods pounding
in plain sight unlike the hidden
drive of the sleek diesel.
The railroads changed the
United States from a small coun-
try with few seaports, and with
towns and settlements little far
Their inland than river navigation
permitted, to a great nation COW

tuition recalls.

Many beautiful rugs of the Near
East are woven by girls from 5

from dawn to dusk, they tie the
tiny knots in their threads with
incredible speed. The largest rugs
