A TIME WHEN ENTERTAINMENT WAS DIFFERENT By John Yates
Growing up in the mid-twentieth century was some what different than growing up today. There was not the already made entertainment. We made or created our own entertainment so to speak. No TV, Video games or Videos of rock concerts to view. O’ we had entertainment, but very different, like sitting on the street corner, as is said today by those of us still here, swapping lies, lighting matches, hoping a girl would come by and other none valuable things such as our hero’s, real or fiction. Talking about what we wanted to be when we grew up. Watching the cars go by, thinking about the type of car we wanted to have some day. How we would go about asking a girl out, knowing she would say no to us. Those of you who are females reading this, you were not the only ones discussing the opposite sex. The one thing I remember so well, that is we never did think of destroying someone’s property. We might snitch an apple from someone’s tree, we were not perfect. One other point, as adults passed, we did not bad mouth or in anyway be impolite. You had in the back of your mind, what ever you did good or bad, made its way to your parents, believe me. What I have been saying, started about the seventh grade up to maybe a sophomore in high-school.
This is the time of life you are beginning to look forward to sports, baseball and basketball, for that is all the school sports that were available for us. You would go to the practices to watch and learn, you are not invited to take part. OK. You watch, you go on your own or with someone else and practice the best you can. Now I am referring most to baseball as basketball was not my best game, O’ I played at it, but that was about all you could say.
Between our house and the neighbor’s, there was a cement wall where I would throw or pitch a rubber ball against it and catch it on the rebound. This ball was about three quarter size to a real baseball, it sold for a dime. But the practice helped your fielding ability. You learned how to throw the ball so it would come back either as fly ball, a ground ball or a chopper. (bouncing) I can’t say how many hours I spent doing this but until I was a junior in high-school that wall took a pounding from those rubber balls.
In the time I was growing up, there was always talk that there should be a teenage hangout with supervision. Here in McGregor we just happened to have such a place, of course it was for boys, girls were welcome but not many girls parents thought “Burt’s” was a good place for them to hangout. Now what was “Burt’s”, a tavern, but not just any tavern, Burt had pool tables and he would extend us credit. When I say he extend credit I mean just for playing pool, not merchandise, like Cokes or candy. There were rules to be followed when in “Burt’s”, we could not smoke, swear, have any beer or be obnoxious. And when I say no beer, I mean no beer drinking, whether from a friends bottle or a parents bottle you did not drink. We were not allowed to play pool on Wednesday or Saturday nights unless invited by other costumers to fill in to make a foursome. Those nights were for the farmers coming to town to trade and they were given priority. We could watch but from back by the walls.
Turning sixteen, you would get your drivers license and if lucky a job. (Only one car and one pickup were parked at school belonging to students, Mike Carroll who’s father had died and he helped his Mother farm and Bob Cardin, his Father worked in a garage.) Jobs were not real plentiful in our area, other than part time farm work, during harvest time. I was fortunate to have landed a job working for one of the grocery stores, thirty-five cents an hour. Of course let me reflect on prices, the movie cost a quarter, Cokes a nickel, cigarettes nineteen cents a pack, a gallon of gasoline in the low twenty-cent range and clothes were not of a big interest to us as I remember.
I have to tell a little story about working. I would go to work after school and on Saturdays and any time I was not in school, well the thought came to me, I have study hall the last period, so if I wrote myself a note to be excused I could make a little more money, Right? My being excused early lasted not quite a week, I’m eating super this one evening with my Father and Mother, saying little, listening to them, when out of my Father’s mouth come these words “getting out of school early.” He said no more and I never left school early again with out his permission.
