Show Weston School Children Hear True Indian Story In our Dairy Unit of Study we became interested in Weston pioneer pio-neer days because April 15 is our town's birthday. We visited pioneers pio-neers and invited a pioneer to school to tell us about these things. The following is an original story that came out of Thomas Preston's talk to school children in the first, second and third grades, teachers, Eva Rice and Oda Fonnesbeck. A little pioneer boy named Tommy Tom-my Preston lived in Wpston long ago. -- He was very small when his parents par-ents came here to make a home. By and by Tommy grew up big enough to help churn and herd the cows. Every day he help milk the cows. In the morning he drove them from the yard to the hills to graze all day. About three p. m. each day Tommy started out to look for the cows. One day he was watching the cows when he heard an Indian call. He looked up and saw an Indian not far away The Indian waved his hands and yelled and stamped his feet. Tommy ran over prickly-pears, bare-foot and all. He jumped over bushes without a fall. He leaped over nuuiueis as uig aa t uuuoc, he ran down the hill as scared as a mouse. The Indian was not a fierce Indian. In-dian. He just wanted to frighten Tommy He succeeded very well. Tommy had the scare of his young life. n rt |
