A familiar sound attendant

hard and soft, was the
squeal of the nails being
drawn from the wood. A
harsh, discordant sound, it
was nonetheless sweet music
to the merchants’ ears, a
symphony of packing cases.
And it was these same box
es we youngsters considered
a treasure trove; for there
was an excess of such cases,
and the merchants often
gave them away. With the
boxes we built castles,
trains, log cabins, pirate
ships or anything that struck
our fancies. Also, the wood
being soft, it gave itself
smoothly and easily to the
Barlow jacknife (an inde
spensable article to a boy)
and from such wood we car
ved swords, pistols, hunting
knives, guns, and all kinds
of frontier and swashbuck
ling weapons. For in those
by-gone days when toy mak
ing was not the precision
industry it is today, we kids
learned to make most of our
own toys, especially toys of
‘his kind, which in most
cases were better than we
could buy. Boyhood imagi
nation invested all of these
things with a reality that
gave a greater dimension to
make-believe than kids en
joy today. Today’s toys are
but scaled down replicas of
the genuine article, precision
built and realistically opera
tional. And in playing with
them, the kids of today are
missing that vital something
that imagination clothes
things you make with your
own hands and skill.
STREET SCENE Empty
beer cans strewn by the
curbstones, especially in the
suburban areas and evident
ly from passing cars. Is that
r way to keep a city beau
tiful? I have picked up
many of these cans and
placed them in my garbage
oail and have encountered
ithers elsewhere. An ordi
nance should be passed with
i stiff penalty, making it il
'eyal to toss beer cans, whis
key bottles or such contain
ers from moving vehicles —
and the guilty motorist pros
;cuted if he can be caugnt.
