Berrill Just an Old Mill Stream One of the earliest fascinations of childhood is water. And water, regardless of conditions can be a magnet in attracting small boys and girls. It played so great a part running water are inseparable, and the basis of some poignant memories. Our little stream crept out of the northern woods and into an unused millpond. From there it tumbled noisily through asluice gate and foamed in protest. But later, it would steal quietly around some old willow trees, under asmall wooden bridge and, into our pasture-field with a gurgle. of triumph. The water was crystal-clear. And sparkled as it bubbled its way over small stones, white sand, opolescent clam shells and kids bare feet. It meandered around boulders, partially submerged logs and stepping-stones. Under fallen trees, child-made bridges and rafts. We loved it. i This was home, for crabs, frogs and myriads of minnows. Every spring was heralded by the rushing rising waters from the winters snow. And later on, we listened to the bullfrogs throaty chorus in the evenings and felt that life was good. Moving southward to midway through the pasture, the water deepened to become an ideal tyke-sized swimming hole. And there, like a dutiful sentry an old elm tree stood straight and tall, casting sheltering Beyond our boundry-line the water was trapped by another millpond and forced to do penance by turning a mill wheel. Then -- freed to mosey one. While the poets sing, '0, call back yesterday, bid time return" or, "Make me a child again, just for tonight." Someone has also suggested that we should never try to retrace the scenes of childhood. But, some years ago unheedingly, we did go back and found that our world was gone. The old millpond so close at hand was a slough of neglect. The little stream -- but a tired trickle of murky water -- completely devoid of glitter and charm. Even the small wooden bridge had been replaced with a cold concoction of man. Could our disenchantment have been wholly the result of maturity? We prefer to remember yet another poet, who said, "Nature never did betray the heart that loves her." And so, we'll continue to cherish the indelible etchings on the flyleaf of our Book of Memories. And believe that it was real. b) parade of Scottish Chiefs RALPH FAIRMAN 1970 DUSTER 2 DOOR HARDTOP. original 12,000 miles, balance of Warranty, 318 engine, aut.
