really good top buster. a top could actually be busted wide open so it was a good idea to carry an extra one. kites were flown in the spring and "hare and hound" was almost a daily race. one boy volunteered to be the hare and the others were of hounds.
hare's safe place was a big ash pile from the wood heater in the schoolhouse. the ash pile had been there so long it was hard. all a hound had to do was touch the hare and he was the hare then he tried to keep from getting touched. some of us boys carried our slingshots in our hip pocket
