We asked him if he thought we would find enough to fill a flour sack, and he said we might and it would be well to take one. So one of us ran back into the house for the sack. With the flour sack stuf fed securely into a hip pock et, with small buckets bang ing the sides of our legs preparations were complet ed. Off we started, full of excitement and high ex pectations. We were go ing chestnut hunting. (For those arriving sub sequent to the “chestnut era,” let me say that the chestnut was a sweet-meat ed nut which was borne on a tree, now extinct, bearing the same name. The nuts were enclosed in a burr sim ilar to the chinquapin, ex cept larger. Ordinarily, there were three nuts in each burr, the two outer nuts being curved on the outside and flat on the in ner side, with the middle nut being flat on both sides. And to eat chestnuts in the school room was consid ered great sport for those boys who chose a spicy life, and oft times offered cause WHY NOT STOP & SHOP WITH GEORGE? ] Groceries, Cold Drinks, Cigarettes, Tobacco’s, | | Candies.

A strong and fearless heart was required for a class room chestnut eater. The acoustics of the mouth is unbelievable when pertains to the vibration of a crack ing chestnut through mol ars. The first stroke of a grandfather clock at mid night would be good com parison with the crack of a medium sized chestnut in the quiet of a school room.) As 1 look back now, I re alize that day must have been almost at my dawn of memory. 1 don’t remember Thanksgiving, nor Christ mas, nor the first snow that year. But I shall never for get that October afternoon. The sun has never shown brighter. The air was light and pure and refreshing as we hurried along through brilliant woods and faded fields, pausing only to pick up a few apples that had fallen from the Virginia Beauty trees. Blue Jays seemed to catch some of our excitement. They hur ried from limb to limb screaming with all their might. Ground squirrels scurried through the fallen leaves, cheeks bulging with acorns, eyes shining with amusement as they sat Local Residents Warned Concerning Foreign Shipment Residents of Burnsville and Yancey County who plan to send Christmas pres ents or other gifts to those living in other countries would do well first to com municate with the Atlanta regional office of the U. S.' Department of Commerce regarding regulations gov erning the importation of such goods into those coun tries, according to inform ation received here from Merrill C. Lofton, Com merce Department regional director in Atlanta. According to Mr. every country in the world has some kind of regulation dealing with the shipment of goods to their borders. They either deal with duty or method of shipment. A number of countries pro hibit the importaton of cer tain goods. For example, he stated, Canada will not permit the entry of any liquor into that country and Denmark has a ban on mat ches. If goods sent to Austria are ' valued in ex cess of a certain amount, the recipient must get ap proval of the A u strian National Bank, and so on “Many people think that because their shipment may be marked ‘Christmas Gift’ it may receive special atten tion, but this is not the case,” the official said. “Customs authorities of most other countries place any kind of gifts in the cat back on their haunches to give us one last unbeliev ing look before scooting in to their holes. I asked how far it was to that grove of chestnut trees as 1 wiped nectar fit for the gods (ex cess Virginia Beauty juice) from my chin with the back of my hand. Not too far. I was told. We hurried, breathing hard with the steep climb, but still filled with excite ment from ever growing anticipation. Finally, we 1 gained the crest of the rid ge and looked down to the trees on the other side lift ing their burr ladened bran ches up to us. Down we boys ran. Father, not so ex cited, came behind. There they were. All that he had promised. Large, brown, sweet meated chestnuts covering the ground. As we began gathering them, we knew there would be plenty chestnuts to bake in the oven that night and plenty to dry in the sun to be eat en some future day. > As we travel our moun tain highways today and see the gf ay skeletons pointing decaying fingers to the sky, we are jarred into the rqjdization that the chestnut era is just a memory. They were the “good old days” we hear about. They were the days when every one pulled his own chest nuts out of the fire—Fed eral Aid was unheard of; Communism was a theory to us; conversation beside the fire at night was bet ter than Jack Benny; “Red” was a term used in describing a woman’s lips, or a baby’s cheeks; we read .‘The Rover Boys” instead of gangster comics; Wood row Wilson had made the world safe for democracy; the “Death of Floyd Col lins” was a hit tune; a dol lar did more for you then, and you did more for a' dol lar;.you didn’t go ninety mile* an hour to overtake enjqjyment, it walked alpng with "you. Yes, truly, those were the “good old days.” THE YANCEY RECORD Hobart Young of Mica ville was in Johnson City for medical treatment this week. egory of commerical ship ments, ana as such they to all rules and regulations covering the shipment of commericsfl goods, therefore, i t | would be well for all who are planning to send any thing abroad to get in touch with us for up-to-date in formation on the subject.” _ Such inquiries should be directed to the U. S. De partment of Commerce, 418 Atlanta Natonal Building, 50 Whitehall St., S. W., At lanta, Mr. Lofton said.
