There had been quite some jig- ling of the choke as he leaned against the steering wheel. This was his habit, like so many other things that had grown to his being on Calamity Hill. He was on another errand, partly for Ma, some for himself and there would be others that would develop before he reached town. He started backing out on the high way between scraped gate posts. These told of many close shaves in his passing. His attention was divided this morning as he gave a long, last glance for the pesky hawk that had been bothering his pigeons. In fact he glanced too long and backed into the ditch across the road. Its funny low things hap pen up there. Well, after con The Old Man siderable work On The Hill and much mut tering he gained the road. Down the highway he went, honking as he went by different places. Sometimes he was hailed and instrusted with an errand, but not till another string had been tied around a finger, one that Ma had not decorated on the start of his short journey. He allowed his fingers weren’t tied up so bad at that because, not so long ago there was nary a finger that was left without a tie. He did not fight back against this practice, knowing full well ths times he had missed many items which meant a hasty return, and he did not like work ing under these conditions. No sir, working under pressure es pecially when prodded by a sharp tongue (like Ma gets when pes tered too much) isn’t worth re membering. The car came to rest in front of the grocery store, the one that usually waylaid him and ac cused him« of everything from packing off canned goods by the crate to uprooting their gentle way of life. It was all in fun though, but the bystander, not wise to the ways and pranks oi those involved, perhaps could come to any old conclusion. His trading done he slipped out midst the general uproar he had caused. After tossing his package in the car he crossed the street. Brakes screeched, cars came to a sudden stop as he scuttled, bent and swaying toward the bakery. "Hi, cowboy” sings a bobby soxer as she waves and disappears. Cowboy, he thought, then looked down at his bowed legs—Oh well, what did it matter, nice kid though. Upon entering the bakery he kidded the girl at the counter and went on behind the door where the ovens were hot as Samhill and full of golden loaves just to be taken out and that wonderful crisp, spicey smell one only finds in a bake shop. More bickering followed and when he came back to the car his arms were full of not only bread for Ma, but scraps and titbits for his pets up on the Hill. He pulled away from the curb and turned right past the City Hall and stopped. There were several on the steps and all began accusing him of many things that had so long been their topic. Back and forth they argued neither getting the best of the argument. The talk slowed up, then on he went back up to the hill that knows no peace. He delivered the parcels on the way, turned into the gate with the scraped posts and drove into the garage. He turned oft the switch and smiled to him- A Riverview 4-H cooking club has been organized with Mrs. Knoedler as leader.

Everything was normal, eWryone in town had been arous ed and accused properly, all along the road he had told them off. It was a good trip and he was blame free. He looked at his hand, O my goodness, there was a string still tied to his second finger, one still there. He set tled back in the cushions slowly trying to remember if he haa just forgot to take off the blamed string or if he had forgotten something at the store. Oh well, he’d soon find out. He gathered up his packages and went in the house and laid them on the drain board and waited. Ma picked them up one by one and pvt them away; she put a chair by the open oven door and a cup and saucer, poured it full of coffee. Goodness, it was good and Ma had not said anything about being short so he guessed things were about as good as they can get cn the hill. Yeah, things were pretty good. But he kept his hand in his pocket though, the one with the string on, just in case.
