WIN WIN WIN A Good Place to Be (Continued from page 63) my coffee to cool it, I said, "No kidding, Charley? Rushville Center got this big honor?" "No kidding, Shuffle." Charley shook open a magazine, one of those big slippery ones, and turned it around on the counter so I could see. And so help me, there was a picture of Main Street, looking North, with the Cameo and Prince's Store and the General Drug all showing up big as life. At the top of the page was "The Town that Tells America's Story." It was real exciting, like suddenly seeing a familiar face in a crowd you thought was all strangers. "Well gosh," I said to Charley, "that's something for sure, ain't it!" "Sure is. And you know what?" He leaned over the counter and pointed to the cover of the magazine. "See this? People USA, that's the name of this magazine, and it goes all over the world, Shuffle. Right now maybe in London, England they're looking at this picture and reading all about us here. Makes you think," Charley said soberly, taking back the magazine and carefully putting it beneath the counter. I bent down and hooked my rubbers up over my heels. I wanted to hurry down to the Perkins Lumber Yard and talk this big thing over with Ma— like I usually do with everything that happens, I guess. Having a friend like Ma Perkins is sure a wonderful thing for a feller like me. I'm alone, you knowgot no family, nothing but myself. That is, I've got no family but Ma's. She's made me part of it. I know she'd be hopping mad if she heard me say I hadn't any of my own. "What are we, Shuffle?" she'd say— matter of fact she has said it, couple of times when I hurt her feelings by not coming straight to her when I had a problem. "What are we, Fay and Evey and Willy and me? Aren't we your family? Land, Shuffle, you been a part of this family so long we couldn't get on without you." That makes me luckier than most, having a family with Ma Perkins in it, looking out for me and caring what happens to me. What's more she's my boss — or was when this thing happened about Rushville Center. Means a lot when your boss is your friend too. When I got to the office, what do you think — there sat Ma with a copy of this magazine, People USA, open in front of her! "Well," I said. "Sure takes the pleasure out of life, the way you get to finding things out so fast a feller can't be the first to bring you the good news." I went over in the corner and took off my rubbers and hooked my umbrella over the clothes-horse, taking the opportunity to see if Willy's coat was hanging up there. For a wonder, it was. Willy — Willy Fitz is Ma's sonin-law, married to her daughter Evey — he's not the earliest bird in town. But he's sure been shaping up well since he began working with us at the Yard. Ma's blue eyes were sparkling behind her glasses. "It is good news, isn't it, Shuffle? My land, how proud it makes you to be a part of this town of ours. All the things it says here about us — they must have had somebody down here reporting on us, Shuffle, you know that? — and taking the pictures and all." "You always been proud of this town, Ma," I reminded her. "Don't know of another citizen that's felt the way you do about it. Matter of fact, don't know of another one that's done more'n you have to make it worthy of this great honor." "Well now, that's a speech you ought to have left Mayor Ross to make." Willy had come in behind us without me seeing him, and now he stood there grinning. "Say, Shuffle, you turn a right pretty phrase when you want. They ought to make you part of the welcoming committee." "What welcoming committee?" "Wait'll you hear!" Willy sat on a corner of the desk to tell us. "They're sending a delegation to present something to us for winning this. From New York City, or wherever this magazine has its office. Right down here to Rushville Center they're sending it. Shouldn't wonder if it was a silver cup or something like that." Ma shook her head gently. "Now wait, Willy. We don't know for sure they're doing any such thing. This being mentioned in the magazine and all, that's honor enough for us. We don't need silver cups to remind us." "Well, maybe not a silver cup. But Evey was to this luncheon thing yesterday— the Garden Club, you know — and she heard it from somebody who heard it straight from Mayor Ross's office himself! And they're getting up a whole reception with bands and stuff. Great, isn't it? A little excitement around town after all this quiet." He rubbed his hands together happily. I snorted. "All this quiet! Willy Fitz, you know darn well you like this town just the way she is. I know I do.
