Wildlife Afield I have been wondering recently whether my children and grandchildren will look back on this part of the country and dreant about days gone by. More to the point, if they do, what will they ntiss'.' Will the whiff of burning diesel fuel send them into flights of nostalgia? Will the roar of a four cycle, internal combustion engine be savored like the lonely whistle of a steam locomotive? What will they buy at flea markets, assuming they still have flea markets? Will they collect plastic Clorox bottles or 50 year old cans of hair spray? Will they pay several* hundred bucks for a first edition of "Jaws?" Will they laugh at old photographs of The Rolling Stones? Will antique toilet fixtures be displayed in museums? Will they think of the Soaring Seventies as a time "when life was simpler: when people had real values?" Well, obviously, I don't have the answers to these questions, but if I had to guess I'd say that some -- if not all -- of this will be the object of a good deal of sentimental eyewash. I suspect the automobile may be our most "collectible" legacy. Kids will build models of 1974 vans, and form clubs to collect old bumpers and hubcaps. Old-timers will be asked again and again what it was Uke to drive one of Ford's "better ideas." But to be perfectly serious, there are some things that I hope my kids will not miss. For example, 1 hope the thrill of catching a wild brown trout in a crystal mountain stream will never become an object for nostalgia. I hope that my children and their children will still know the excitement of walking winter's brown fields behind a couple of good bird dogs and seeing the spontaneous explosion of a covey of quail. I hope they will still be able to find a clear spring on the side of a mountain and drink out of it with cupped hands. 1 would like to believe that they might still fall asleep at night listening to the summer sounds of tree frogs and crickets. I hope the turkeys still gobble on the ridge and the doves still whistle out of the north every September. I hope the bluefish still run at Cape Hatteras and the ducks and geese ride the sleet across Currituck and Mattamuskeet. I hope there will still be oysters for stew after a cold day in a blind. I hope there are still plenty of cypress rimmed lakes and blackwatcr rivers where someone with a cage of crickets can catch a mess of robin and bluegills. I hope there are still wild places in North Carolina where it will be possible to renew the spirit and touch base with the ghosts of our heritage. I think the future for many of these things is fairly secure because those of us who love them are not going to give them up without a heckuva tight. Also, ihis is a preity durable world we live in. Bui pans of it are very fragile, and it seems that some of the best things are those which are most fragile; things like wilderness and trout streams and solitude. I hope our great - grandchildren do not learn about them in American history class. AUCTION Stock liquidation Saturday, July 19,10 A.M.
