A Winter Story
Has Happy Ending
Helen McCoy
You never know who your
friends are. Miss Sandra Elaine
Taggart told me about her recent
visit home for a week-end.
Miss Taggart left home at 2:30
p.m. Sunday, January 12, in
Salisbury. She was hoping to
get to Winston-Salem at 3:30 p.m.
with a transfer in Lexington. As
her bus entered Lexington’s bu.s
station, the bus she was sup
posed to transfer to was leaving.
Looking at the snow and the
ice-covered streets, and wonder
ing what to do. she decided to
ask the bus clerk what time the
next bus would leave for Win
ston-Salem. She was gi\'en the
bad news -that the next bus
would leave at 7:30 p.m., if it
comes at all. In the meantime,
she was informed that the bus
station would close at 7:00 p.m.
She proceeded to the telephone
to call long distance to her
mother. She told her mother of
her condition. Her mother told
her she would call a friend in
Lexington, “'but, if a bus comes
in going to Salisburv, get on it
and come home.” Her mother
worriedly told her she would call
back.
Miss Taggart then decided to
go back home. Her lius, Ijeing
one and one-half hour late, ar
rived sliding on the ice into two
telephone poles. Miss Taggai't
realized then she was afraid to
rid£ on the bus. When the bus
finally reached the station, the
driver said, “1 am not going any
further, folks.”
The white folk said they wei'e
going to the hotel. Mias Taggart,
knowing no one in Lexington,
received a telephone call from
her mother. Her mother had lo
cated a minister whom she knew,
but Miss Taggart did not know.
Mrs. Taggart asked him to go
and pick up her daughter.
When the minister reached
the bus station, he told Miss
Taggart who he was. She stayed
at the minister’s home Sunday
night. Monday, she called the
bus station approximately six
times, and no buses were enter
ing or leaving. There. Miss Tag-
