Clothesline was a sort of natural resource found in abundance growing in backyards and it was the Law that when it did not have clothes on it it was borr Wable. It was not permitted to Cut it however and once it was Neces sary to Cut it unless it was a very Long clothesline and the loss would not show you had to steal it. Then it was All right for belts and Bolas. I just remembered a game of my Early childhood which was to run through the Wash and feel the Damp and clean smelling sheets against one s face. Do that with an electric drier along with clotheslines sort of the fruit of this freely growing Vine were clothespins for which we had a number of uses. In my town they were the clothespins without Springs they could b e made into dolls they were Good for digging they made Fine tent stakes they could be turned into a sort of primitive pliers and with the Aid of a few strips of Wood and a couple of nails a toy in which two figures with Little j wooden hammers struck alternate blows. We thought of clothespins generally As just something Good to have a few of stashed away. They were very Good shaped things. Once in a great while we would encounter a Spring clothes pin these were real treasures and were carried clamped on the Finger until incipient gangrene set in. Clothesline was also Good for wrapping around things for prac timing knot tying with and the frayed end was a very pleasant i stroke one s face with. It was pretty fair chewing. I hate to leave this subject but i have to Tell about torture. Very Well there was that kind of self torture like with the Needle.

This consisted of grabbing another kid s wrist in one s two hands placed close together. One hand twisted clockwise the other counter. It Hurt like the Dickens. There was the Indian Scalp Burn. This was done by placing the Palm Flat against the newly hair ousted Back of another kid s neck and pushing up against the Grain. There was the Indian Chest beat. This was usually the Climax of wrestling. You had another kid Down. In the books like Tom Brown s schooldays you were then supposed to have licked him and would let him up but in our Friendly Circle the minute you let him up he would walk away three four paces and then jump you heave a Rock at you. It was almost always so with fights when i was a kid. In All the books the until then mild boy hammered the villain with straight lefts and right crosses until he Sank on the ground never to Rise again. Our fights did t work out that Way. In the first place we took turns being the bully and in the second place fights never ended. I had a fight with a Guy who is they Tell me a distinguished physician in my Home town. Then he was not. He was a boy named Piggy.

Lucille Martin with a heroic but unsuccessful Effort to save her husband s life. He said . Owens is believed of the underdog s elbows As you sat on his stomach. You beat alternately with each clenched fist on his breast Bone until he cried you were somebody came along. This also Hurt like the Dickens. There was old fashioned twisting Frog marching there was the Drill the Hammerlock the toe lock there was a charming thing called punching the muscle. This was simple. This involved a series of punches As hard As pos sible in the muscle of the upper until a kind of paralysis set in. This last was not always a torture. It was sometimes part of a game called two for biting. I understand the heathens Call this two for flinching. It went Ohall the time. It involved walking up to another kid and thrusting your fist in his face without any warn ing. If he pulled Back blinked you then said and hit him in the upper twice As hard As you could. He then theoretically waited until you were off guard and did the same to you. If by any Chance he tried and you did not startle you got to hit him. If he tried and banking on your pulling Back touched you on the face you got two free shots on him. It is my feeling that i walked around most of the years of my childhood with a constant Supply of three wounds. A Black and Blue from this a Scab on my knee from falling Down a swollen wrist. The wrist was swollen either from the Indian wrist Burn from the choosing game of scissors paper Rock. Now in this kids also seem to be different today. I Don t see it going on and i Don t hear about it and maybe it s just that i m being As unseeing As any Parent but i Don t think so. I Don t think kids beat up on each other As much As they used to just the Way you Don t see fights Between men As much As you used to. I know All about the crime rate and about mugging but it s my belief that that s different that s for Money and it s for keeps and it s with knives and Black jacks and guns but generally i Don t think kids get whipped any More i Don t think As Many husbands put the slug on their wives As used to and i Don t think kids clobber each other As much As they did. 1 think that s wonderful unless it Means that people deprived of Small violence need big violence. Perhaps it Means let s Hope that people unused to Vio Lence will never accept it casually. I would t know.
