Stilts-- who tried them. Two long pieces of board with short pieced nailed onto them . You stood on the short pieces and walked. OR you could take two tin cans with string looped through them and they were kinda like stilts when you walked on them . But aside from Toys Next to the highway running through our little village was a pile of sand and a big lump of coaltar. When it got real hot that tar was soft and when we would go by we would pinch off some to eat. Looking back on that I can only say YUCK> Remember the coal oil. you got cut your mama would wipe the cut down with coal oil and tie a rag around it. ------- Mary Russell bird@scrtc.com
