I never got a regular wage either, but dad would give me money from time to time for comic books and ice cream bars. By the time I was driving, dad ran a tab at the local gas station, and I could fill up when I needed to. I always seemed to have money. I started working after 8th grade graduation, but still got Prom money and such from dad as needed.
The telephone guy came one afternoon in the summer, when I was about 12- said he had to turn the phone off, because mom had apparently forgotten to pay the bill. I told the guy we didn't have any cash but I could write him a check (I was already raising cattle and the feed store guy had helped me set up a checking account). He said he couldn't take a check from me, but was there anywhere around that would cash my check so I could give him cash? I told him the service station, about 2 miles away, so we jumped in his rig and went there. I told Mr. Hughey that I needed 8 dollars and some cents to pay the phone bill, and would he cash my check? He said, "No need to waste a check"- and he just gave me the money out of the till. The phone guy got quite a kick out of it.
As I was getting out when he took me home, he said "Glad we could get this taken care of without the expense of a disconnect, and thanks for giving me a good story to tell the guys back at the shop."

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
