Robert Mitchum stars as "father" Van Home, a myster ious adventurer who is "not exactly what God had in mind 1 ! in the "Wrath of God. " The story centers around three prisoners who can save their lives by carrying out a political ass in at ion. Rita Hayworth and Victor Buono star. "Rage" with George C. Scott deals with a sheep herder who loses his sheep and his son when the government sprays poison ious gas is his area. To revenge his son's death, Scott takes op the government and the U.S. Army. The Bowery Boys and Gene Autrey are scheduled for the Saturday and Sunday matinees.

Though this column bears the heading of Folk-Ways and Folk-Speech, most of the read er response to date has been concerned with "Ways" rather than "Speech". Thus it is with pleasure that I acknowledge two recent letters listing expres sions and pronunciations that speak of the past. Thelmas Presnell,of Marion, N.C., sends a list of expressions which she associates with the South Toe River area in Yancey County. And in order to ex plain their meanings, die gives examples of their proper use. . "Fetch me my sawed-off; I ain!t aiming on being bothered with them there possums out yander in my tater patch no more. Pm gonna go get old Joe —he catched a coon other night. I ain't nevem seen sech a dog—he clum half way up a poplar tree after that coon. I know he'll go into that brash pile out yander by the creek and fetch evem possom there is in there out. "Last April when cuzin John got out a that war ovem Jay-pan we tuck old Joe out'n theavamp a-Y liltin' and he dove in 'at mud and dug out all kinds of kreeters. I hadn't orter tuck him out there though. I've been a-haftin' to keep him tied up. he hears a racket, he barks all night through. Nevem I turn him loose, he takes off tord that swamp like a scalded dog. Directly he'll come back, "Some dog that Joe is. He catched two copperheads and killed 'em both—one of 'em with the truther—then clum a tree and hung 'em on a lim'. " Another word list comes to us byway of Miss Grace E. Bail ey of Spruce Pine, N.C. In that she gives no explanation of the terms given below, I have hazarded meanings from the recesses of my own memory of the past. I invite correctiai where I have gone astray. A portion of Miss Bailey's letter follows: "After reading your articles in the newspaper about old say ings, words, expressions, and escapades of long ago, I recall so many that were common as I grew up that I couldn't begin to write them all down, and a lot of them would need interpre ting. The following are a few words which you may already have. hog lights—apparently the lungs from a hog. chicken slickers—(l need help on this one) j^bile—folk pronunciation for boil. ass ling—wasting time; perhaps equated with messing around thunder mug—container from which one might drink white lightning? hunker—a good mountain term which probably came to us from Scandinavia and which means to crouch mountain style. Somefvhat different from the lowland er squat, whistle pig—l take it that this must b» a ground hog. poke—a great middle English word for bag. middling—equated with fair or tol'able as a response to an inquiry about how one feels, hant—a ghost. whistle berries—(l'm lost again) bustle bouncing—folk term for dancing? sasser—dish for cooling one's coffee, as "it's already sass ered and blowed," Another letter—this one from Mrs. Nina Garland of Butler, ' Tennessee—is included in part and is self-explanatory. "I read your column in The Tomahawk and enjoy remem bering the good times of years ago when life was simple. "I have a lot of old memen toes of the past—pictures of towns years ago, cards and old fans, and I have a box of post cards dated back in 190 r 'j also Sunday School cards iatedl9o2.
