C *** - Modern Tent Erects Easily For Campers The first tent or portable shelter probably came Into existence when prehistoric man had a few complaints from his wife about spending all her time In that dark, damp cave. To keep peace in the fam ily, he took her away from it all during the summer months and stretched an ani mal skin between two trees to provide protection. We have American Indians to thank for the first port able shelter. Their conical tent made of skins had all sorts of refinements Includ ing flaps for regulating draft and escape of smoke. Another legendary tent Is the pup tent of World War I fame which put a roof over the heads of our doughboys and a word In our vocabulary. Hardly spacious, It afforded a minimum of comfort. Now the young camper under ten who wants to set up house keeping in the backyard tries it. Along about the time wall to-wall carpeting became popular on the home front, the wall tent sheltered World War n Gl's on the fighting fronts. Although this tent furnishes unobstructed standing room, the wall tent Is bulky to carry, difficult to put up and hardly a happy choice for a camper who likes to camp without bringing along his own construction crew. Today's camper will find a wide variety of tents to choose from some shaped like umbrellas, others that pop Into shape and look like igloos, and there’s even one Inspired by the covered wag on. Although we haven’t any record of how many Eskimos own Pop-Tents, this igloo shaped tent yould be ideal for them ?tece it sets up eas ily on Ice, snow or rock with out stakes. Campers in more temperate climates will be happy to know it’s every bit as effective in grassy knolls, wooded glens or on sunny beaches. Even a beginner finds this tent easy to man age. THK CHOWAN HERALD, RDKNTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, JULY 23. 1616 Tweetsie Railroad Visitors Witness Cowboy’s Death BLOWING ROCK —Twelve times a day, a loud-mouthed cowboy wanders around Inter rupting a show at a saloon— and winds up dead at the hands of Diamond Lil. He’s not a bad guy, really —lust the sort of fellow who wants to mix with the crowd, and who likes to talk a lot. And Diamond Lil isn’t a bad gal, either—just the sort of woman who wants a quiet audience to sing to. The cowboy is Albemarle’s Ron Blalock, and Diamond Lil is Donna Rowland, just a cou ple of years out of a convent in Toledo, Ohio. It all takes plate at Tweet sie Palace. For regular visitors at Tweetsie Railroad, Blalock has lost any identity he might have had except as the cow boy. He’s been at it for go ing on four seasons, and peo ple have come to expect to see him. One little girl’s reaction was typical. "I saw him last year,” she said. “You’d bet ter cover your ears when he shoots that gun.” Blalock wound up at Tweet sie four years ago, when the manager of the Tweetsie Pal ace show needed a tuba play er. “He asked me to take the job,” says Blalock, “andi I agreed. That year I wanted I to do the cowboy act, and the ' following summer I got a, chance at it. That's whet I’ve been doing ever since.” For Miss Rowland, it hap pened a little differently. After spending five years in a Franciscan convent, she left and went to Europe. There she met a professor from Ap palachian State University in Boone. The professor invited Miss Rowland to come and live with her and go to school. Then came the chance for the job at Tweetsie. “Not being a music major," she says, “but loving theater and music, I thought it would be a real challenge to apply for the singer’s job. I enjoy people tremendously and . wanted to stay in the moun tains for the summer.” Bojh Blalock and Miss Row land have had some interest ing experiences. Blalock particularly remem bers one little old—very old— lady. While the band was I playing, She called him over and insisted that the folk ■ group do “As the World '■ Turns”, an Eddy Arnold num her. More to escape her clutches than anything else, he told her he’d get the group to do the song. But he forgot, and ; as usual he was shot and kill | ed by Diamond Lil. 1 As he lay there on the floor, eyes closed, he felt someone ' grab at his holster. It was the littie old lady. ! “She straddled me,” he said, i “clicked the gun and pointed it at me and told me she wouldn't let me up until they sang the song.” But the roughest treatment he gets is still at the hands of Diamond Lil, who gets a little extra kick out of shoot ing him because he’s the show manager and boss. “I just love it,” she says. “It makes my day.” After the death scene, she wanders through the crowd singing “Bill Bailey” and oc-. casionaQly draping an arm around the shoulder of a man in the audience or sitting next to him and running her fing ers over his hair. “Some of the men want to bounce you in their laps,” says Miss Rowland. “It’s mostly the little old men . . . I just love them. But some of the wives get mad and tell you to' leave their husbands alone.” For Blalock, who will leave at the end of the season and play in an Army band at Uncle Sam’s request, “It’s been a real blast and a great experience. Tm a big ham, I <guess, and it’s the first time I’ve had a chance to manage anything and have people (Leo, July 23-August 23) Leonians arc proud, regal, strong-willed, commanding, powerful, magnanimous, big hearfed, generous, reliable, fixed in opinions and princi ples, good leaders and good “creators" both of family and Maas for organisations. They are faithful and trusting and usually cheerful, and their pet projects include games, amuse “2b' meats ahd the theatre. working under me. Miss Rowland wants to con tinue her art and English studies, but she’d also like tc return to Tweetsie next year. f|||iVv 4 ■ ‘-4£f • w’ •- ** X.
