A good many residents ot this sec

that few have liad as difficult a

printed below. The name ol the ?Tit

I packed my few things Two bed
a lew chairs and my canned Roods,
lor which I had gathered tvrnes
and fruits that God made so plenti
ful Two boys were kind enough to
lake me. on their truck, to a log
house in the hills It was one mile
from water, but I moved in. grate
fully. and went to bed.
"The next thins I knew, here came
copperhead snikes. wanting to know
why whooping cough babies should
disturb their quiet
"I moved to another log cabin
When I got there I found the place
had been used as a chicken house,
and it was full of mites. So it was
move again.
I went to my Aunt's house. She
was so glad to see me?at least she
said so. But there was no place in
her seven-room house, with only two
grown-up occupants, for sick babies
So it was a case of move again.
"I found a house. I was supposed
to pay $3 .i month; but when I got
there 1 found someone else had of
fered $6
"I find another mountain cabin.
The roof leaks. No matter. But there
are panthers. They scream and
scream and scream They may be
hungry, and we are helpless So I
must move again.
This time I go up a rocky branch.
I meet lots of friends, along the way
and we have lots of fun. Finally I '
reach the house. It is deep in the
mountains, and the pole-cat stink is
i so strong we cant eat.
Now comes some good luck I get
a work card to go back on the WPA
So we move again I am lucky enough
to find a house. I have no money,
but I show my work card, and the
woman accepts my promise to pay
That was Thursday I was supposed
to move In next day.
"I get a truck Saturday, and the .
woman sits on her porch and *|
watches us get my poor stuff into ?i
the house; watches the boys put up J
my stove, watches the truck drive "j
> off. Then she comes rushing over 3
screaming: "Stop that Truck!" 5
"When I ask what is wrong she1J
tells me: "I have this house rented, -j
You get out." 3
Then I learn that Friday, the day ]i
r was supposed to move in. she had ?;
rented the house to a man who had
paid her four dollars in advance ;j
"I laughed myself to sleep that ;;
night Playing Kitty wants a Comer j

"A 'Good Samaritan' actually came j

for n homeless widow and helples*
babies. So here we are. It Is a log ;

here, but this roof does not leak. I
"As soon as it stopped raining I ;
