STREET IN A BOAT?
These boys did-.Dit.ring the
snow last week George Jor
dan, Joe Cuthrell. Ronnie
Howell, and several other boys
got out George's large alumi
num boat and made a bob
sled out of it. They made many
trips down the hill, once pass
ing a pick-up truck, about
half way down, both going in
the same direction with the
driver of the truck, saying
that was the first time he
was ever passed by a boat
going down the street. If
there is another big snow and
you want to take a ride see
these boys for your reserva
tions at the top of the hill,
where she stops nobody
knows. There was not too
much way of guiding this
method of traveling, except
by leaning, and there are no
brakes.

Bird Feediig
Is Inportoit
At This Tine
Many local people ire tak
ing time out to feed the
birds during this bad wea
ther, one local lady has been
exceptionally good to the wild
birds by feeding them pea
nut butter, plus a lot of regu
lar food. One man at North
Cooleemee. Theodore Ijames
built a large bird feeder so
the feed would be kepi dry.
About everybody seems to
have been more interested in
their welfare .than in the
years past.
One man told us of the way
old people used to sew clover
and other seeds in the fields,
by hand, was to wait until
there was a snow on the
ground, so they could tell
where the seeds were
thrown by their snow tracks
of course, the birds alto got
some advantage from this
type of sowing ! seeds. So
should this weather continue
the feeding shpukl also be
