Hatty COMMENTS
By MARY ALICE HASTY
Although Cooleemee hat; always been a very .small town,
when one departs from it an a journey, even across oceans
and continents, he seems destined to come face to face with
an old buddy or acquaintance from the same bane town.
Among the many "ties that bind" is a small weekly publication
that has consistently succeeded in avoiding the flare of
notoriety that often accompanies recognition for reportorial ex
cellence. This weekly column will (of necessity) pursue this
innocuous course, and concentrate on establishing a ia|4*at of
sorts with its readers both at home and scattered'alf' ovdrrTty*
4 writing about them and their town.

We can be justly proud of
our Davie County Rescue
Squad These are a special
breed of men. This was prov
en early Sunday morning,
February 13, 1986, when a
high wind and blowing rain
was upon the area in and
around Davie County. Here in
Cooleemee, the wind was
gusting at approximately 50
or 80 miles per hour. A large
tree in the front yard of a
house on Main Stree: became
loose at its base. It appeared
very possible if the up root
gave way, it would crash into
the bouse. So a call was made
to the Davie County Rescue
Squad and immediately they
went into action.' Also the
Davie County, Sheriff dis
patched two good men 'to the
sqrne. Between the very ef
ficient cooperation of all con
cerned, a squad member with
a large rope climbed the
swaying tree He secured the
rope abgut. 2-3 of the way up.
The wind'would blow while
he was in the tree and every
one watching would gasp as
the tree leaned over under
the force of the wind and
th tap rocfc ' cboJd be heard
cracking. The men completd
the job Of. tieing the rope
around the tree and came
down safely to the relief of
all watching! The mefa got
bold of the long rope and
pulled it tightly as a power
saw was put into action by
a, squad- member. The tree
was sswed in two, and the
meij pulled it away from the
house as at came down, thus
averting a- very possible dan
ger of it falling upon the
bouse. They then turned to
the task xi sawing up the
tree and piled it up at the
roadside In an orderly way.
Across the road from this
action, aifalhcr Incident had
