Show Thursday, September 20, 1979 DROWSING iy Ta rcmras was a boy in Wales we lived on a long street. In fact, our house number was 95 and we were about in the middle of the street. What a study in humanity were the people who lived on that street. There were so many families by the name of Thomas that they were identified by such titles as Thomas the Shoe, he it was who ran the shoe shop. Then there wa. When I Thomas the Clerk. Mr. Thomas was a clerk at the local colliery (coal mine). There was Thomas the Grocer and Thomas the Milk. We lived in between Thomas the Shoe and Thomas the Clerk. Across the street was Thomas the Welsh. This couple spoke only Welsh and were indeed strange. For example there was a brook down in the valley just below where we lived and every summer we kids would dam it off with rocks and sod and make our own swimming pool. Now, this family had a boy our age who loved to join us in swimming, but for some reason only known to mother, she objected to him going swimming with us. He went anyway and while we were having the fun of youth, Mrs. Thomas the Welsh showed up. She ordered her son out of the pool and then went downstream of our dam and started to tear it down. Suddenly the dam gave way and Mrs. Thomas the Welsh was washed down stream. When she finally recovered and made her way to the bank she called us a few, names in Welsh that were not a bit complimentary. One I remember yet "Mabs gon yr diafil," sons of the devil. Then there was Mr. Edmunds. He was the scrooge of the street. The only man that owned his home. One day we kids were playing soccer on the street in front of his home when the ball sailed over his fence and into his yard. Inasmuch as I had kicked the ball I was sent to retrieve it. Just as I entered his property Mr. Edmunds came out and picked up the ball. Then he slapped me a good one beside the head and went in the house and closed the door. My little sister had observed the incident so when our father came home from work she told him how Mr. Edmunds had slapped me. Father is a bit disagreeable until he has had his supper then he is the soul of kindness. So, not waiting for his supper he called upon Mr. Edmunds. The conversation was a rare cne with father inviting Mr. Edmunds out into the street where he would teach him not to lay his hands on one of his children. Mr. Edmunds refused the invitation and went into his house and closed the door. That evening as we kids met under the lamp post, it was agreed that my father was a bit of allright. I must tell you about old lady Benjamin. She was a widow by reason of her husband being killed in the coal mine. She had three grown sons who shared an upstairs bedroom. Across the street lived a spinster lady who I thought was a bit daft. Of course that was an opinion of an unlearned kid. One day she reported to the city council that the three boys were preparing for bed and exhibiting themselves before a window without the shades drawn. Mrs. Benjamin and her sons were brought before the august leaders of the town and the charge explained. The boys remained silent but dear old Mrs. Benjamin apologized and said it would not happen again. A few nights later the boys observed the spinster peeking through her drapes in their direction. So they undressed and danced around the room in the all together. Needless to say no more complaints were heard. One of the favorite characters on our street was Dave Hoskins. Dave raised ferrets as a hobby. If someone was pestered with rats around their property they would call upon Dave for assistance. Besides his ferrets he had a small Irish terrier. Dave would send a ferret down a rat hole while he stationed the terrier at a rat exit hole. When the rat came out the dog would seize it and with a few shakes of his head the rat would be dispatched to the rat heaven, if there is such a place. Dave Hoskins was the Pied Piper of our street. He didn't need a musical instrument to have kids follow him. He just had his dog and ferrets. So, growing up is more fun than being grown up.
