PAGE FOUR
Along The Routes
By John Follett
m ■■ ■■■ P • t " *
The other day we, my wife and
I, trailed John H. Aldred as he
cowed his R. F. O. Route 3 out
of Dunn. It was quite an exper
' ience. We enjoyed It, though we
doust Jf the Daily Record. Pontiac
win ever forgive us for the way we
treated it. Certainly the starts
and stops, the tacking and back
ing, made the old car live up to
the- name "Tea. Kettle” which I
had' given it when first I started
using it for my travels about the
tom* counties served by The Record.
Rut the odor of burning oil which
came from the engine didn’t smell
much like the best orange pekoe
MAIL CARRIER J. H. ALLRED’S

mousehole for mail carrier J. H.
Allred’s trim little Henry J.
to come out of the post office
yard. When at long last our red
mouse had finished gobbling up
the huge. meal, of letters and
papers and packages, It darted from,
the yard, of course in the opposite
direction from the way we were
headed. This made it necessary
for us to make the first of many
hasty turnabouts before we were!

Out Route 301 we went, hut not
for long. Like a real mouse run-;

. scurried into the dirt road leading
1 toward the Wellons Candy Co.,
and we were subjected to the first
cloud of dust of the many
which we were to meet that day.
Just beyond the railroad was a
cluster of mail boxes and two
ladies waiting for a word with the
mail man. (One of them was
the spittin’ image of my Cousin
Lilias up in Loudoun County, Vir
ginia).
His business finished there, our,
mouse spun around and darted
back to 301 with us floundering in
pursuit. Once again he turned
briefly to the right to meet two
adorable little children, a boy and
a girl, then back across the high
way, past cotton fields with red
and blue morning glories fringing
the borders, and so Bethsada
Church.
i “VISIT ENCHANTED ACRES”
Prom there we lost track of
direction, though we hope that our:
combined bumps of -location will!
let us retrace our steps and become!
acquainted with some of the places |
and people we Just glimpsed In our i
chase. For instance we want to
visit “Enchanted Acres”, the beau- j
tiful home with the name of C. H :
Jernigan on the mail box. We want j
to meet the people who have a 1
bird house' in their yard exactly
like a miniature of their own house,
and we want to know what bird
tenants are living in tgat little
house on a pole.
Back through Dunn hurried our
mouse, weaving two and fro across
the Dunn-Erwin highway in con
stant danger of colision with on
coming traffic. Apparently box
: holders have, little concern for the
, risks of the mail man when they
: set up their boxes on the left side
-of the road.
At Black River the chase turned
l south, then west again. Through
i Erwin dashed our mouse with us
' in hot dispute. On Route -55 be
: yond Erwin the weaving and stop
i ping and starting began all over
- again. Once we scuttled into the
woods on what was little better
\ than a trail, then back to the road.
I At Turlington’s Cross Roads we
i reached the westward end of the
l chase. From there the route led
i back to Dunn mostly by roads
l which Oov. Scott’s highway build
ers have forgotten. As a matter of
l fact many of the roads traversed
: that day are like old fashioned
, washboards in a tub filled with dust
rather than suds.
TWAS QUITE A DAT
Yes, it was quite a day. We feel
1 jthat the life of a rural mail man
! must be a pretty interesting one.
He does not have to swallow quite
| not have'to follow another car.
(The eager people who greet him,
the hungry mail boxes waiting with
{ tongues hanging out for mail which
:he fills them, * the satisfaction he
j must feel at bringing to rural
'people the communication with the

widow, pictured, filed the suit (International)

In case of many people along
Route 3 that communication in
cludes the Dunn Daily Record.

Speaking of hungry mail boxes,
some poor boxes along Route 3
seem positively starved. In a single
group of boxes art to be found all
kinds from big, opuleiH, shiny ones,
firngy attached to sturdy posts,
to battered, rusty, indigent boxes
precariously perched on old oil
drums or rickety fences. It seems
to me that the Harnett County
Home Demonstration Clubs might
well emulate the clubs in other
North Carolina counties and spon
ser a mail box improvement con
test. Incidently we saw only ’one
box on Route 3, that of Mrs.
Blanche Jackson, which wore a
name plate bearing the owner’s
1 too, is a pity.
