The stomach growls savings time. My annual advice in my first November column of the year is to remind everyone to turn back their clocks one hour. I usually do that the day before it is required so that I have a jump start. My husband always states that the time should be changed only one half an hour and it should stay that way throughout the year. Obviously the powers that be are not listening to his suggestion. Personally I try to look at the pos- sibly positive side of jerking the time back and forth. I like to think that I am rewarded having turned the clock back one hour, I have gained or re- gained the hour I lost, or found, in the Spring. I must remember that it will be darker earlier and that my stom- ach will growl at the wrong time, or is it the right time? Nothing muddles the waters of right and/or wrong much as daylight savings time. It is the time of the year when I long for fall colors and crisp, cool air such as in the mountains. This year I am in the valley so I am enjoying the deep red color if Crepe Myrtle trees and the mixed green and gold leaves of our Birch trees. I am breathing the early morning cool and fresh air. I have several in the valley responsibil- ities which keep me from a sponta- neous trip to mountain climes. Sometimes it is a pain in the neck to be a "responsible" person. At times I long to be as the geese and soar north and south to my heart’s content. The other side of the picture is that I will be rewarded by the "good" feeling of accomplishment when I complete my current respon- sibilities. So much for keeping at the responsibility of composing this col- umn, the phone has rung with impor- tant messages, unexpected visitors arrived, the bell on the dryer rang let- ting me know it needed attention and my stomach is growling since I for- got to eat breakfast. have stopped after a nice bowl of cereal and milk. The cereal came from a box, the milk from a plastic milk container. The containers remind me that milk used to arrive on my front porch when it was still dark, delivered in "glass" milk bottles by the milk man. Those were the days when we washed the milk bottles, put them out on the porch empty for re- use. During my own growing up years, the cardboard caps from milk bottles were saved for the children who played a game called bottle caps. The game came out in the 1940’s. During this time many students attended the Lincoln Street School, the building that houses the Tehama County Department of Education is now located there on Lincoln Street. Many students collected bottle caps from the tops of the small milk bot- tles supplied by the school at lunch time. Students ran the caps through a drinking fountain, wiped them on their clothes to dry them and went to the playground to play the "milk cap game." Circles were drawn on the dirt or on the playground with chalk. Children then had great fun throwing milk bottle caps into the circle, hop- ing their cap would land on the edges of other bottle caps. When the cap landed on other caps the cap thrower would get to pick up all the caps touched. Laughter and camaraderie occurred during the game. Many children’s pockets were filled with cardboard bottle caps throughout the day. The bulging pockets called for caution as a child slipped into a desk chair trying to avoid the spilling out of the caps. The fun was not to last however, as school officials thought Carolyn Barber that children should be swinging on the "monkey bars" or playing base- ball instead of gambling. Never mind that it took a great deal of small and large motor coordination, eye- hand coordination and intel- lectual plotting to play at winning the bottle cap game. Those were the days when children didn’t bring real weapons to school and were content to play a made-up game with recy- cled material. As is often the case when adults start to analyze the potential of children’s games, economic gain takes over and ruins a simple and innocent pass time. Games today are sold at high prices and are made of plastic or metal and cost a big bunch of money. In case any adults are interested in reviving the described past activity of the old Lincoln Street playground, I think I have a whole of unused milk bottle caps that we can use for a fast game. It also occurs to me that a few of community’s younger members may not even know what "real milk bottles look like. Too bad, a whole era of important history has been replaced by waxed cardboard boxes and plastic jugs. Hmmm, maybe we could use the col- ored, plastic lids for the same kind of game. Each color could have a dif- ferent value. Alright, alright, I got off the subject of daylight savings time and Fall leaves. It was due to my lack of a timely breakfast and many untimely, but important interrup- tions. Remember to set your clocks back and hour!
