Of Living
On a Hill
Br BILL JENKINS
MUHY would anyone wsnt to
" Ilv on a hill?
That question cam up durtiig
th Informal coffe meeting this
morning at th oltlce and brought
up aom varied comment.
Living on a hill In Klaniath
Falli. It seems from the talk, takes
not only a sincere love of living
on a high place. It takes nerves of
steel.' boundless patience and a
good, stout set of tire chains.
The boas and myself ara at both
ends of the question. I live at the
foot of a hlU so I don't have any
trouble getting home during the
anow season. I Just top the hlU
and slide In like an otter. The boss
lives at the top of a hill and has a
heck of a time getting home. He
has to claw his way up the icy
slope. Of course. It all evens up
when we start for work. Then I do
the clawing and he does the slid
ing. Lois brought up tha point that
living on a hill went far back Into
antiquity, to the days of the Greeks
and Romans who lived on the
brows of the penlsular hills so they
could look down on the people
below them. It seems It was only
a bridge of time because a decade
or so ago nobody would build a
house unless he was on top of a
hllL They built the house first arid
spent the rest of their time figur
ing ways to get home after a hard
snow or a bad freeze.
There's no getting around It thst
the guy who lives - on the level
(ground, thst Is) does less shovel
ing and less grunting, and con
siderably less grumbling about the
Ills of hiU dwelling.
Anybody considering moving out
of their hill homes? Nope. They'd
rather be mad.
I OOKS like a touch of winter has
moved In, but It's not as bad
as It was last year. Then It snowed
for the first time on the 25th of
September and kept It up pretty
steadily until March. This summer
has come close to being like the
ones we used to have eight or 10
years ago. Lots of warm weather,
plenty of sun to loaf In and a
good spring. Even tough winters
like last on would be reasonably
easy to take If we could pay off
with good summers. Preferably
without a hard frost in June, of
course. ...
THE human mind can be a re
tentive thing if the Interest is
aufflcientiy aroused. If you don't
believe it Just sidle up to any of
the groups surrounding a radio
right now listening to the world
series. They can not only keep
track of every pitch throughout
tha current game, but will dig back
