What ever happened to the
old-time country bumpkin?"
You know, the freckled, OPEN
faced boy with the touSled
red hair who made a mess Of
everything?
I'll tell you what happened
to him. He came to work for
us during the apple harvest
season. He was highly rec
ommended-by a relative on
our regular payroll.
His name is Junior. and
maybe it's unfair to say he
made a mess of everything.
Just some things. While he
lasted Che came only for
the apple harvest) he was
loyal, prompt, obedient.
hard working, noncomplain-
ing, and wondrously good
humored.
HIS MAIN FAULT was
that he was given to day
dreams, and often carried of
his duties in and around our
orchard while his mind was
high above in the fleecy
white clouds.
This led to complications.

Of the tractor. The motor was
dutifully of. Junior grinned
at me from across the barn.
yard and called out: Look
how that black steam comes
out!"
I groaned as I rushed over
to pull the water hose from
his hands. Never, never put
water into a hot tractor with
the motor off," I told him.
He opened his mouth but I
cut him off: Sure, 1 know,
I told you to turn the motor
off, always. But that was
yesterday, about gasoline.
This is today, about water"
1t was too late. A few min
utes after Junior started the
tractor, oil began pouring out
of the engine. The block was
cracked in two places. The
tractor needed a whole new
motor.
This didn't bother Junior
at all, so 1 didn't bother to
bawl him out. After all, he
meant well and tried hard.
And he had come highly rec
commended. By that relative.
Moreover, he liked our
apples. and that pleased me.
Some of our seasonal apple
pickers and orchard workers
handled tons Of apples a day
but never ate an apple. Jun
ior always had an apple in
his mouth. In six weeks he
ate about one-third Of the
orchard, I calculated. This

costs.
Lands on Head
One day Billy, our farm
foreman, was driving the
pickup to check on the
Angus cattle in one of the
far fields. Junior rode along,
sitting in the back of the
truck on the tailgate. Billy
hit a bump and Junior sailed
high into the air, landing on
his head.
Billy stopped the truck and
rushed around to Junior, who
lay quite still. His face was
beet red and his eyes were
wide open.
Instantly Billy, who is
small but strong, seized Jun
ior in his arms and held the
big boy upside down, shaking
him. After a few seconds
out Of Juniors mouth came a
half-eaten apple.
With that, Juniors breath
came back and Billy set him
on his feet. Without a word
Junior climbed back on the
pickup. resumed his pre-
carious seat, found another
apple on the floor of the
truck and began munching it.
My wife later asked Billy:
How did you know what
was wrong with him?"
"OH," SAID BILLY, when
I saw him a-laying there

Saturday Night With KiIroins

Annie called here husband
Challenge. Once, in a bar,
he defended his love from a
man who leered at her. Kill
rain invited the man outside
and they fought in the alley.
The man almost killed Kill
rain and that's why Annie
couldn't call him Champ.
Every Saturday, Challenge
brought a fifth of gin home.
1t went into the refrigerator
until the children were in
bed. The Kilrains had no
phone. so they sent one Of
the boys to tell Annie's
younger sister to drop over.
This was Margaret, who had
a husband who left her.
After the dishes were done,
Annie knocked on her ceiling
so that her lady friend up
stairs would come down. The
old lady always went to bed
early on Saturday night.

Billy's quick action prob
ably saved Juniors life. But
he nearly lost it again at the
hands Of my wife. On the
day he was scheduled to
leave our farm to return to
his home town in the Shen-
andoah Valley, Miriam asked
him to plant some evergreen
shrubs beside our houSs.
Miriam carefully watched
Junior as he labored, but
after a time she was called
to the telephone.
When she returned she was
aghast. The three shrubs not
only had been planted; they
had been completely buried.
Not a wisp of shrub remained
above ground. 1t took about
an hour to disinter each
shrub and replant them
properly. This time Miriam
watched him like an FBI
agent. When he was through
he smiled good-naturedly
and said: 81 guess I did plant
them a mite deep, ma'am."
And with that he was OF

The happiest person I ever
knew was Annie. She was
short and stout, a woman
with a button of a nose,
apple cheeks. and an almost
perpetual smile. Her hair was
straight because she could
not afford a permanent. She
had an assortment of runny-
nosed children and a hus-
band who worked on a de-
livery truck.
ANNIE WAS QUEEN of
six railroad rooms. The
kitchen had a black coal
stove, and some of the heat
seeped into the bathroom,
and a little into the dining
room, which was used for
homework and councils of
state. The two bedrooms and
the front room were used
as bedrooms, and Annie's
mother slept in one Of them
with the little girl. Every
body shivered.
The Kilrain family lived
on chuck steak ground. when
they could afford it. This
and lots of mashed potatoes
and bread kept everybody
alive. Grandma was a wisp
who shifted with contempt
at one and all, a sort Of
broom in a flannel night
gown.
Annie's husband was a
stout man with a face that
looked as though it had been
slept in. He loved Annie and
he loved his children, but he
liked to needle grandma. He
would come in at night.
blowing the cold off his
hands. and he would see his
mother-in-law and roar:
You old bag. IL you amt
dead by Christmas I'm going
to hang you on the tree"
Somehow, she understood
his bruising humor. Her
mouth would twitch. her eyes
would sparkle. and she's say:
"And If / go. you can bury
me in the backyard. It's
good enough for the likes
of me-"
Kilrain never had any
money, but, once a week, he
brought a little gift to the
old lady. Sometimes it was
a handkerchief with a col
ored edging. more often a bag
of chocolate Washington

Learning To Drive
Is A Lifetime Job

Learning how to drive is not a
five-easy-lessons proposition-it's
lifetime job"
That point was made today by
William P. Markland, manager of
the Delaware Motor Club, AAA, and
Charles w. Lawson, executive Sec
retary of the Delaware Automobile
Association in connection with the
"Slow Down and Live" campaign of
the Delaware Safety Council.
Mr.. Markland and Mr.. Lawson,
both directors of the Safety Coun-
ell, pointed out that the past dec
ade has seen marked strides for
ward in automobile design and pro-
duction, with the result that mod
ern automobiles are faster and
more powerful more numer-
ous-than ever before.
But the increased speed, power
and traffic density require more
control and greater skill in driv-
ing" the two auto club officials
said.
Urging all motorists tc keep up
to date in their driving habits, they
said that many drivers on our high
ways today are still using driving
techniques obsolete as the out
dated model in which they first
learned.
"a motorist has to be alert to
rapid developments in our highway
system, too. especially with so
many super highways springing up
over the country" the two men
said.
These smooth ribbon-like roads
cutting across mountain and val
ley from one end of the country to
the other are beautiful to drive on,
but driving modern high-powered
car on them requires control, pre-
cision and highly developed driving
skills," Mr.. Markland and Mr.. Law
son said.
Pointing out that the comfort and
ease of driving today has danger
Gus tendency to dull the alertness
Of the driver to the increased dang
ers of modern traffic, they caution
ed all motorists, especially those on
vacation trips, to drive safely, to
keep alert at all times, and to shun
speed.
"A good motto for every motorist
to heed" they concluded is Drive
to Arrive Alive Slow Down and
Live"

Thirty eight youngsters with
heart conditions which prevent
their participation in a regular
camp program are enjoying the
thrills of an outdoor summer all
venture near Chestertown, Mary
land, thanks to the Heart Fund of
Delaware.
This select group of campers left
by special bus last Sunday, follow
ing final physical check-ups by DR..
Charles A. r. Skowron, of the New
Castle County Children and by DR..
Benjamin F. Burton, Jr., of those
from Kent and Sussex Counties.
This is the ninth year that the
Delaware Heart Association has
made this two weeks experience
available to these cardiac children,
through funds raised by the annual
Heart Fund Drive.
Under close supervision of the
camp staff, the children are able to
swim, hike, cook out, etc.-all the
thrills of a normal camp life, but
with constant alertness for signs
of fatigue or Over-excitement.
Swimming sessions are shorter,
hikes less strenuous and most
competitive activity restricted.
The children are taught to watch
