148 "MEMORABILIA OF PORTLAND POINT" BY MATT CHRISTOPHER
149
150 The original League of Nations had its beginning not in New YorkCity,but in that once tiny,
151 cement-puffing, tree-stipplied, garden growing, chicken-raising, hilltop village called
152 Portland Point.
153
154 On two hands you could almost count the number of different nationalities that were
155 represented there, ie: Italians, Syrians, Polacks, Germans, Irish, Czechoslovakians,
156 Hungarians,Jews (Russian) and undoubtedly, Africans, too, for there were black families
157 living in the stone quarry homes owned by the cement company that functioned in Portland
158 Point, and was the towns life blood.
159
160 A dialect all its own linked the families together. Three times a day - or was it four?? A
161 whistle at the plant blew to announce the time of day.
162
163 Three times a day a two-car electric train, shuttling between Auburn and Ithaca, stopped,
164 deposited and/or picked up passengers and mail. In the summertime it always disrupted the
165 baseball game (played with a tennis ball and a broom handle for a bat: that went on between
166 the high, cement wall of the cement plant and the railroad tracks.
167
168 When the wind blew just wrong, clean cement dust floated heavily over the company-owned
169 homes on the hill and dropped, leaving a crust of gray film on the roofs and the yards,
170 turning into flaky fragments of concrete when the rains came. And yet the gardens which
171 almost every family had to help supplement the weekly paycheck, produced whatever they
172 were intended to produce.
173
Page 10 of 18

174 Chickens, ducks and geese shared the road, (separating the two rows of houses and made up
175 the mainstream of the town) with people. Quite often the geese, perhaps thinking that is was
176 territory they had inherited from the Indians, stretched out their long, slinder necks, opened
177 their bills and tried to scare the adults (or anyone or anything without feathers) off the road.
178 Sometimes they succeeded. Sometimes not, which could be testified by hearty goose dinners
179 that filled the plates of various families over the weekends.
180
181 Snow blanketed the town every winter. It seemed to have come with relish. Not only for kids,
182 but for adults, too, who enjoyed sledding. For -what else was there to do?
183
184 There was barn across the creek from a long garage (the garage housed about ten to fifteen
185 cars, I can't quite remember, now), in which we kids played basketball. Since the ceiling was
186 higher on the second floor, this is where we kids played. Without refs. There are five players
187 on each team, but if there were fourteen guys present, all fourteen played. It was rough and
188 tumble and an awful lot of fun. It was the memory of this barn that gave me the setting for
189 one of my sports books, Sink in Rusty.
