Some Days

depending on your natal day..
Saturday Is special day. Satur-
day Is either one of pain or
pleasure. There Is no halfway
point for Saturday.
When you are young Saturday
is perhaps the most wonderful
day of the week. All pupils look
forward to the day as one Of
blessed release from less ons and
the teachers.
Can you recall any great high
lights of your Hfe7 I'll wager a
greenback or two--that some
thing either wonderful or horrible
happened on a Saturday.
Saturdays we're full of mean
ing for me when l was growing
up in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sat-
urday meant going to the library.
Saturday meant going to the pub
lie market. Saturday meant
cleaning house. Saturday meant
my grandparents, either mater
nal or paternal. depending on
where was staying at the time.
My group of childhood friends
congregated on Saturdays at my
Mother house They came bright
and early If we we're going to
town or to just hang around. In
the summer we would have our
bikes ready for an early morning
ride, If 1t we're winter we would
be ready for a SNOWFALL fight or
a sled ride.
Some Saturdays | would have
been the first person up and out
on our street. Fresh, white snow
was a lure couldn't resist.
I would go to sleep on Friday
night (while 1t was snoMng) with
one thought in mind-to be the first
one out in the snow on our
street. I am sure modern psy-
chiatrists could attach some hid
den meaning to this desire. Maybe
they never stepped in the glist-
ening. blanket Of white crystals
and heard 1t crunch underfoot.
Saturdays we're housekeeping
days. l liked to arise early with
my grandfather Racker and start
working. He was good company
for me, but not housecleaner.
My Grandfather Waterman be-
LEVIED homework was strictly
woman's duty. never saw him
mop, sweep, cook a meal (unless
you considered a cup of coffee
and a grease fried egg as meal).
Twice year was wallpaper
cleaning time. | can't remember
the millions Of strokes ! must
have made in our house Mping
those CRIME covered walls in May
and November. That wallpaper
cleaner had the strangest odor--
like kerosene and gum combined.
Saturdays we're market days.
Our day was not complete without
at least one trip to the public
market. You could go early in
the morning to get the fresh
vegetables and fruit, or you could
go late just before closing time
and catch some bargains. Look
Ing backward. | think loved to
go to the market just to buy a
Kosher sandwich and watch the
sellers bark the prices Of the
wares.
The market was a city within
a city. Housed in an old con-
crete and wooden structure. The
outside entrances housed flow
ers. potted plants. (none of these
artificials of today. Meat coun-
tiers piled high with whole chick
ems, red beefsteaks, rosy pork
roast and assorted lamb, veal and
rabbit meat welcomed the buyers.

The ma jor cause for the num-

the continuous flow of unskilled

Where and Why

your own Interpretation. We know
it, however, by its more popular
name Halloween.
During the past years indivi-
dually and group sponsored pro-
grams we're designed to take
some of the mischief and pranks
out of the celebration. Positive
approaches toward sharing Holt
day funds with children of the
United Nations is worthwhile.
Sponsors of school or church car
nivals have added more fun to the
sea son.
But Saturday = all day lacked
much of the old spirit of Hal
loween. 1t seems that many of
the customs we are losing in our
climb to being a sophisticated
and cultured society leaves
many empty spaces.
Trick or treat has merely
given children license to ring
the doorbell and hold out bags
for candy or gum. Too many
older youths visited our home.
Many we're not bedecked in color
full costume or even ma sked.
The streets we're not filled
with the shouts of merrymakers
or pranksters. No mail box on
our block wa disturbed. There
we're no clangings of garbage
cans. There were soapywindows.
There were not pots of red paint
thrown at any driveway around us.

witches who once roamed on
