WHEN

his pictures you had better keep quiet. Look with your eyes, but
keep your foolish tongue still! “My Aunt Lila counseled me in this
way while I was still a young boy as we stood in awe of a
particularly beautiful sunrise. This was typical Gypsy thinking
regarding God and his marvelous creative works.
We believed in a Creator and had a sincere respect for him, even
though in a simple, childish sort of way. Our philosophy of life
was that the satisfying of our daily needs always depended on a
Creator, God. Hence, we would never think of ill-treating the
lovely creatures inhabiting the forests, streams, lakes and seas.
They were his creations, and we were glad to recognize that
fact.
A further part of our philosophy and way of life could be summed
up in the old adage “Tomorrow will always take care of itself ! “For
this reason our life was easygoing and generally peaceable. We
would put forth effort to meet only present needs. With these
satisfied, we would relax and enjoy life with our families and the
closeknit society of our own people. We would use

make a living, but beyond that we would not involve ourselves with
it. Its political squabbles were not our concern.
Life as a Gypsy Boy
From the East Anglia section of England, where I was born, I
traveled with my aunt in a Gypsy group all over the British Isles.
I was taught to have real respect for older persons, always
addressing older males as “uncle” and older females as “aunt.”
Never was I allowed to call them by their first names. In my later
years I have always been grateful for the discipline given me
whenever I was disrespectful of my aunt authority.

aunt loved me and kept me busy. She took me with her to pick
watercress, mushrooms and berries, and the next day we would peddle
these from house to house or take them to a nearby market.
Part of our making a living was for my aunt and me to go to
farms to buy piles of manure. After putting it in bushel baskets,
we would peddle it from door to door among people who had small
flower or vegetable gardens.
During my early training, petty thievery was indulged in by my
aunt and others in our camp. Hence, I learned dishonesty, including
how to make shady deals to benefit myself financially. Once, while
a youth, I befriended a lad whose parents were not Gypsies. His
mother was dying of tuberculosis, and the family was so poor that
they had little food to eat. Desiring to provide her with some
strengthening nourishment , I took my friend along to a nearby
chicken pen where we appropriated a nice plump hen. I gave it to my
friend to take home, but the father made his son return the
feathered booty to me upon learning that it had been stolen.

Early Religious Training and Views
My aunt simple faith in God always made a strong impression on
my mind. At the end of day she would have me kneel beside her as
she gave thanks to God as our daily Provider-even though we may
have stolen a rabbit or the mushrooms , watercress and berries from
other people property!
Most Gypsies with whom I was familiar belonged to a religious
denomination, such as the Methodist Church, the Church of England
or the Roman Catholic Church, but my aunt had no use for organized
religion in any form. Her attitude toward the clergy of various
denominations was one of disgust for their hypocrisy. This
influenced my own religious thinking for many years. To her, some
priests were hypocritical “so-and-so “; money-grabbing clergymen
she viewed as “unclean as a goose excrement,” and she did not
mind telling them so.
She also instilled in my young mind a strong distaste for
violence. Never will I forget the scolding she gave me one day. A
lady to whom we were selling goods had asked me what I was going to
be when I grew up. Having been attracted by the uniforms on men in
the armed services, I told her that I wanted to become a soldier.
My aunt told me she never wanted to hear me say such a thing again,
and if I ever did appear at her door in a military uniform I had
better just keep on traveling! She impressed upon me that no human
creature had the right to shed blood in man-made wars.
While growing up I began to observe the hypocrisy http://www.cheapcanadagooseus.com/ STRONG>
Canada Goose of the clergy for myself. World War II was
approaching, and it became very evident how they shared in
recruiting young men for war. One approached my aunt to ask her to < br /> let me join, and she told him off in no uncertain terms.
The more I came into association with so-called religious
people, the more I was impressed with the hypocrisy of world
religion. Young men would get drunk and indulge in wild revelries
on a Saturday evening and then go to Mass on Sunday morning. The
fact that they supposedly got their sins forgiven, only to carry on < br /> in the same immoral way in the days preceding the next Sunday Mass,
disgusted me.
A Different Kind of Religion
By 1942 I was married. One day I came home and my wife told me
that two women had called and talked to her about the Bible and its
promises for a better future. Being inclined to ridicule anything
that smacked of religion, I showed no desire to discuss the matter.
Later, in northern Scotland, a man called at our camp and played a
Gramophone record for my wife while I was away. It really impressed
her that the man had the courage to play a record exposing world
religion as a snare and a racket. My wife gave the man a meal
before he went on his way.
Later, when we were around Newcastle in England again, my wife
suggested we try to find these people because she felt they had
spoken the truth. But shortly afterward we moved to Canada, where I
thought it might be possible to make < br /> Canada Goose Solaris Parka Brown STRONG> a better
living.
Rearing Children
Meanwhile, I was raising my family. I took my son along with me
in my business, which was then buying and selling scrap metal. When
enough scrap metal was collected to sell to a dealer, I would give
my boy a pile of his own and let him deal it off, but under my
supervision to make sure he did not get gypped. Thus he was trained
to make his way in life.
My wife provided our daughter typical Gypsy training, teaching
her to cook, wash clothes, mend and care for a baby so that she
would eventually make a good wife for a Gypsy husband. My wife also
trained her in peddling linens. She would take her to the
warehouses when making purchases so she could observe how this
business was transacted. In addition, an uncle taught our daughter
how to become adept at making flowers out of wood. Thus when < br /> accompanying her mother from house to house, if the linens were not
accepted, she would offer her “flowers,” making a little money for
herself.
