Weather Or Not
By EtOISE McLEMORE GRADY
In The Butner Creedmoor News
"When I was young, It was considered impolite to dis
cuss the w??ther and Its effect on the Individual," stated
the late Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. She said that people
were expected to accept the weather as It was and never
complain about It. In other words, you Just sweated In
silence. My how times have changed! The weather report
Is a big production now, and I am going to have to take a
course in "New Math" to be able to understand all I hear
about the weather.
I agree with her statement that It's useless to complain
about weather that's too hot or too cold ? too wet or too
dry, but 1 do believe In the Importance of discussing the
weather. After two unforgettable experiences, I have a great
deal of respect for the weather forecasts that are given
the public via radio, TV, and newspapers.
Our first daughter was three years of age at the time,
and on a winter's afternoon she and I left Smlthfleld around
two o'clock to meet my husband at the Raleigh-Durham
Airport. The weather repor* had escaped me in my busy
Jay of cooking aind taking care of a small child. I had cook
ed our supper and had left it In the oven, because I knew
that it would be approximately seven in the evening when
we returned. It had never occurred to me that two days and
two nights later we would return to that supper.
It was raining when we left, but the rain soon turned
to sleet and snow and by the time we reached Raleigh,
there were very few cars on the road. So determined was
I to reach the airport, though, that I kept going in that
direction. Well, I did until I pressed the brake pedal rather
suddenly and turned completely around in the highway. The
only reason I didn't have a wreck was that I was the only
one who was foolish enough to be on the highway at that
particular time. (Everyone else had heard the warnings
over the radio.) I was so frightened that I just kept going
In the direction of Raleigh and did not attempt to turn
back toward the airport. It was a horrible and slow trip to
Raleigh, but somehow I made it and found a public tele
phone. I called the airport and found out that my husband
would be comingto Raleigh by bus, since, of course, his plane
was grounded. By the time my husband had reached
Raleigh by bus, we were snowbound at the Sir Walter Hotel.
The experience taught me a lesson which I shall never
forget. Since then, I have lived by the weather report, and
because of this my other unforgettable weather experience
was a happier one.
October always brings memories of Hurricane Hazel, and
as destructive as it was property wise there were very
few lives lost. I attribute this to the radio and other news
media and its warnings from early morning of that October
15th. Our local radio station announcer asked that all
parents go to the school for their children. I lost no time
in going first to kindergarten for one child and to school
for the other. They were both waiting for me, for those in
charge had heard the same warning I had heard and had
dismissed the children. There was no panic, and we were
safe In tfur home before the trees and telephone poles
began to fall all around us. Had I waited, I could not have
gotten the car out because of a huge pecan tree that had
blown down across our driveway.
There are all kinds of human weather barometers ? like
corns that hurt when it is going to rain, and achey bones,
but I have a new one. When my teased and sprayed hair
becomes a mass of cotton candy, then I know the relative
humidity is at least 95%.
Excuse me, now, for I have to get the weather forecast.
