THE CIRCLE REGISTER
FEBRUARY 4, 1964
THE MEMOIR’S OF AN EX
WHISTLE WIDOW By PatWynn
i SHORT TAKES
by Shirley Siner
(Cent, from last week)
Referees on the whole, are
a very dedicated group of men.
Nothing keeps them from their
appointed games. Neither rain
nor snow or fatherhood. I have
a very dear friend whose hus-
band was a referee, (there's a
common bond which binds
referee’s wives together) and
on this particular occasion her
husband drove her to the hos-
pital for the coming arrival of
their first born son. He accom-
panied her to the delivery room,
dressed in sterile gown and
cap and glancing nervously at
his watch. The Dr. assured
him all was going well and
that these things just took time.
I've often wondered what went
on in the Drs. mind when he
stepped out of the room, pulling
■ off his gown, and sped down
the hall. My friend informed
the Doctor that he was on his
drive a few miles and

way to referee a ball game and
couldn't wait any longer. It
was several hours later before
he knew he was the father of a
bouncing baby boy.
And too, it was my mother-in-
law who paced the hall awaiting
the arrival of my fourth baby
because 'daddy dear' was some
70 miles away in a tournament.
But you didn't complain,
none of us ever did. It became
a way of life. However, I must
say this, I don't believe Mothers-
in-law accepted it in quite
the way we wives did.
• Another thing experience
taught me was that the lesser
of several evils was to tell all
before the game started. I'd
find myself in a group which
might have included the wife
of the coach, teachers who are
partisan fans and the wives of
Chamber of Commerce digni-
taries. I would hasten to confess
my identity and offer to isolate
myself. I did not desire to cramp
their style or hinder free speech.
Invariably they would laugh
away my suggestion and warmly
welcome me to the friendly
circle.
Through one game we may
be the warmest of friends but,
sooner or later, the inevitable
happens.. The idolized forward
is put out of the game on five
personals at' a critical time.
Anyone can see it was the big
guard who had no right to be in
the way! The atmosphere in
our circle becomes chilly. And
when the tying points are taken
awqy in the last seconds be-
cause the center ran with the
ball, there are icicles hanging
on the curt farewells as my
erstwhile friends flounce out
of the gymnasium.
On the way home I offered
to drive because my friends
back there intimated that Cecil
might not be able to see the
road too well. But we'd stop at
the Greasy Joe's for a midnight
hamburger with onion anij trim-
mings and life was an adventdre
again.. Vocal barbs leave no
visible scars.
In one way I am happy. For
the last 2 years I have not been
tortured by having to' decide
whether to go or not. We both
go and 1 always thought I
would use all those stored up
wise-cracks but I look over
behind the scorer's table and
there sits one or two sweet
young innocents with babes
in arms and I'get nostalgic and
I remember----.

Cleanup is one phase of
corral maintenance too often
neglected. Litter and debris
such as discarded machinery,
fallen timber, rolls of fencing,
and broken feeding equipment
present the threat of injury
or death to animals.

million a year earlier. Prices
received by farmers leveled in
November after rising sharply
from September. However, they^.
continue high, relative to the
1963 loan rate. The acreage
seeded to winter wheat totaled
43 million acres, about 1 per-
cent above the 5-year average.
As a result, the 1964 winter
wheat crop is estimated to be
959 million bushels (as of
Dec. 1).
