With a lazy-like sweep of one hand he told me to sit down and he went on with his reclining. He was a victim of Spring fever ... that almost smother- ing sensation of laziness, lonesomeness and desire for a pleasant, warm spot along some stream where you can en- joy those first clays of a new and glor- ious season. My friend was homesick. He start- ed talking about the little creek that meandered through their farm and of how great a thrill it was in the Spring to get throwing a line in the waters still murky with the silt and dirt of the flood. He was thinking about the projects in drainage worked out in such complicated detail with the help of an old spade or a shovel. The wat- er which came seeping away from the melting snowbanks had to be directed down many little gullies and creases. That creek through the back of the farm must have been the, centre of all attraction for those boys. He knew every plank in the little red bridge behind the barn. On warm spring days they would stretch out . fiat on the bridge with lines cast into the water, talking about everything in gen- eral and hoping that some unwary chub would conic along and take a nibble at the worm-baited hooks. There was no thrill could compare with the one when you caught your first fish of the season ... which father usually called a "sardine." How the reminiscences came crowd- ing in on him! He remembered the "Smoking Club." . . three lads en- gaged in the stolen trills of smoking cedar bark. They had it divided into three sections. One boy looked after the matches, the. other one furnished the paper for rolling cigarettes and the third lad supplied the cedar bark, He winced recalling the third-degree ordeal when his mother came across a cache of matches, in his pocket and de- manded to know the reason for the accumulation. There came a time as he related, when they decided to quit smoking. The treasurers of the "Smoking Club" were carefully placed in old tin box and buried along' the bank of the creek . . . not too deep of course, be- cause people have been known to change their minds about a lot of things in general. In about three weeks they were back at it again. The usual spot was to crouch in under the bridge where they could be hidden from sight. Swimming was a sport indulged in quite frequently by the lads. They took plunges on an average of five or six times a day. Mother finally for- bade them to swim in the creek any more. They sat on the bank and watched with envy as the neighbor lad enjoyed himself to his heart's content. The temptation was too great and so. they compromised by floating a plank down the creek with one lad standing on each end of it. His feet wet, one boy slipped and fell. In falling a jag- ged nail in the end of the plank took a toll of the seat of his trousers . . . With the result that their mother had an investigation of the whole affair. He rambled along with his memor- ies. There was the time when the lads . decided to start cooking for themselves. They had a fire built in a hole along the bank of the creek. A'cedar branch tepee was built as cook house. Potatoes dug from the field were washed in the creek, sliced and fried in grease filched from the kitch- en. There were tragedies galore in .that experiTent. One day the ants invaded the grease bowl. On another occasion a cat stole their carefully hoarded stock of ham. The finest meal of all had been prepared one day just as a drenching downpour of rain came. Mother began to get suspicious. The appetites of the boys became fickle. On days when they didn't play down at the creek they ate in their normal way. On days when they where down at the- creek, gorged on not too well cooked ham and potatoes they showed little interest in their meals, Their mother took a stroll down to the scene of operations one day and put a damper on the activities of the lads. He had been staring out the wind- ow"and talking. He took his feet iron the desk, looked up at me in a sort of embarrassed way and said, '" would give a whole lot Phil for one day along that creek again, although: I guess my stomach would hardly- stand another one of those meals of ham and potatoes," FOR SALE — Driving mare, buggy,' cutter and harness.
