COPS AND ROBBERS
Some of you, gentle readers,
undoubtedly live next door to
bookies; others live cheek by
jowl with bootleggers. But how
many of you can boast of liv-
ing right next door to a couple
of bank robbers? We can.
During the six years we have
lived in this house, one of the
many banes of my wife's exist-
ence has been the house next
door. It's a crummy old, brick
house, shabby and dilapidated.
The tenants, who change
about every six months, are in
much the same condition as
the house. That is not said
unkindly. They are poor. They
are tough. It's all they can
afford.
Invariably, they have great
gaggles of children. Invariably,
there is a good deal •of scream-
ing, and some cursing, at these
tads. Invariably, there is wine
drinking and fighting.
But they struggle on, the
men in and out of work, the
women hanging endless miles
of diapers on a clothes line
that squeals like a banshee at
every yank.
.They don't bother me.
They're not malicious. One of
the women used to come over
and us our phone, when she
wanted a cab to go and get
some beer. One little boy, age
three, told me to "go to hell"
when I told him to stop using
our lawn chair as a trampoline.
But nothing serious.
The only thing that bugs me
is that the rotten old board
fence between the properties
keeps falling down. And it al-
ways falls on my side. They
don't care. It's not their fence,
but the landlord's. He doesn't
care. So I prop it up. This
week, however, things livened
up. Last Thursday, a bank in
a nearby village was held up by
two armed men. They got away
with about $6,500.
Roadblocks were thrown up,,
as they say. My assistant de-
partment head, on her way to
the dentist, was stopped three
times by scowling policemen
brandishing shotguns. She
weighs 82 pounds and couldn't
even lift $6,500 in $100 bills.
I heard all about it Friday
morning, at school.
In the meantime, back at the
ranch, all hell was breaking
loose. First, my wife got a call
from the rector's wife.
"How are you? I mean, are
you all right?"
"Fine. How is everybody at
your place?"
"Fine, but are you all right?"
After more of this, it turned
out that the rector's wife, and
practically everybody else in
town, had heard a rumor, prob-
ably springing from an erron-
eous radio report, that the
:money from the bank robbery
had been found in the attic of
the old .Crangon house, on Hu-
gel Avenue.
It just happen that we live
in the old Cranston home. It

210 welling Street
was once owned by Bill Cran-
ston, a weekly editor who went
straight.
My wife did a very sensible
thing. She went straight across
the street for a cup of coffee
with a neighbor. From there,
in comparative s a f et y, they
watched the show.
Almost immediately, car-
loads of the curious began driv-
ing by our house, slowing down,
looking hard.
By this time, three provin-
cial cruisers and the local pad-
dy -wagon were parked in front
of our house and the house
next door. Cups swarmed about
the place next door, with drawn
guns. The kids enjoyed it thor-
oughly, chattering at the police.
Our neighbor's phone rang
madly, as people demanded to
know whether the Smileys
were really in on it.
My wife said she wouldn't
look in the attic, unless the
neighbor went with her. She
refused on the grounds that
she was afraid of the squirrels
up there.
The pollee cars were there
most of the •day. Some kids
came back to se ho o I from
lunch and told their teacher
that Mr. Smiley's house was
surrounded by police cars,
"Something to do with the bank
robbery."
Rumors are still f 1 y i n g.
"They" say that the money was
found next door. "They" say
that two men, not the tenants,
were arrested there. "They"
say that the guns were .found.
Well, I hope "they" are all
wrong and that the original
rumor was right. One of these
days, I'm going to get up
enough nerve to go up and
check the ,atic. And if the
$6,500 is still there, I it send
you a post card from Crete.
