This was the function of this arrangement. I mean Man these were made to be caught on Tele phone wires. But first Foremost forever and 11 pledge i will teach the kids on Rny Block this very year they were i meant for the game killers. You take a Chestnut and you Hook the ice pick. You wait until nobody is in the Kitchen and then one kid presses Down on the Pilot Light Button so that a Long Deli Cate Blue Finger of flame comes put and the other kid puts the ice pick in the flame until it is red hot. When it is he bores a Hole in the Chestnut. The next thing to do is to take the loan of a Shoelace. The Best kind is the kind that Are in your sister s shoes and the Best Way to get it is Well you know How. If you can t get a shoe lace heavy Brown twine the kind without splinters Woven in is Okay. A knot in one end the Chestnut Strung on then everybody outside. You have one. I have one. We choose Odds or evens with fingers. Whoever loses let s say it s you. For literary ease you hold up your string with the Chestnut dangling. In my right hand i take the end of my string in my left the Chest nut. I hold the Chestnut almost but not quite directly above the left hand with string tight and bring it Down in a whipping move ment. The object first is for my Chestnut to hit yours the second Ary object is to hit it and break it. This ordinarily does not happen i the first time. Now you can get a crack at mind. There is a subsidiary object to this game if you Don t break the other Guy s Chestnut but hit it Good one the string will wrap it self around his fist and with any Luck his Chestnut will crack him a Good one on the Knuckles. It is however entirely possible nay Likely that if you miss your Chest nut will do that to you. Sooner or later a crack will show up in one or both chestnuts. Now an even More delicate Friisoe i comes into play it is possible that you striking with a cracked Chestnut will bust yours while bit Ting at mine. There is a kind of marvelous irony about this that we recognized even then. A we called the chestnuts Kil lers. You had a or forty killer if you had broken that Many chestnuts. However if a one killer broke a forty killer my memory is that the one killer be came a forty one killer but i am not sure about this. Other elements of the game were the size of the Chestnut a big one was heavier obviously which at first seemed an advantage. But consider a heavy one Hung there like a dumb beast and absorbed All punishment. A Small one bounced away the moment it was hit. Skill was of the essence. If you hit it from on top. So that it did not swing like a pendulum but took the blow it was Odds on you were going to crack it but it was also Odds on that if you missed it you were in for a pretty Good knuckle and you did t have much Chance of getting his knuckle. Well it s getting on for fall. I will show the kids about the horse chestnuts. Prices effective in Selkirk ind greater Winnipeg tuesday and wednesday october 29th and 30th.

But then grownups when i was a kid did t know did they any of the world i lived in. I ill maybe my kids have got a whole world of their own with different i Ujj objects and i am not admitted to 11 their councils. I devoutly Hope so. My world As a kid was full of things that grownups did t care about. My fear now is that All of i if us grownups have become so Chol j Al dish that we Don t leave the kids Al much room to move in that we i foolishly believe that we under stand them so Well because we j share things with them. This is not Only Folly it is not fair.
