JroTk-\\£iys and
of SOUTHERN APPALACHIA
with Roger* wlili. n.-r

Vml \tint
This column and columnist
had a birthday of sorts this week,
celebrating a year's existence
in the pages of a goodly num
ber of Southern Appalachia
newspapers.
And it was observed in fine
style, thanks to friends and as
sociates, who arranged an old
fashioned gathering which took
on the mixed trappings of fami
ly reunion, company picnic
and political paw-wow.
11 all started at Mast's Store
i 9
in Valle Crucis, North Carolina,
one of the few remaining auth
entic country predecessors to
the modern department store.
Around its huge double-bellied
stove, which mightily strives
to heat the sprawling edifice,
our party gathered to munch
hoop cheese, pickles and crac
kers. We then fanned out to
explore the vast recesses of the
store, later to regroup and
watch an exhibition of flatfoot
dancing by Willard Watson, a
mountain man pushing seventy
who can still outstep a college
coed on the dance floor. -
Stage two began when by
car pool the group snaked its
way from Mast's down a valley
road, across a low water bridge,
and up a twisting lane, more
trail than road. Soft with new
rain, the road featured numer
ous intersecting, unbridged
streams and called for wagon
or buggy conveyances rather <i
than the heavy gas-guzzlers dri
ven by some members of the
group.
Eventually two out-buildings
made of hand-hewn logs loom
ed through the mist, then a
small frame house with smoke
coming from its chimney. On
the porch our hosts, Mr. and
Mrs. Jim Snyder, waved a greet
ing. Even from our cats we
caught the mouthwatering
aroma of fried chicken and
country ham wafting through
the open door.
I. eaving our cars we* weiit
into a living room heated by a
cast iron stove and thence into
the kitchen to see a table groan
ing with platters of ham and
gravy, fried chicken, country
style green beans and corn,
freshly baked biscuits, and an
assortment of desserts, inclu -
ding strawbeiries, shortcake,
and carrot cake.
The serious business of moun
tain eating was soon underway,
as we filled our plates and
searched for elbow room on the
front and back porches, down

the banks of a rocky creek flow
ing through the back year. No
worry about garbage, for, as if
by magic, assarted dogs mater
ialized from the nearby woods
to vie for ham bones and the
drumsticks.
Afterwards it was back to
the living room and another
session with Willard, alternate
ly plucking a banjo, demonstra
ting his moving- parts wooden
folk toys, and spinning moun -
tain yams and mountain philo
sophy. All in all it was a good
time, a happy time, but one
which left most of us 1 thought -
ful, even moody, for deep down
we knew that we had bebn forc
ed to artificially recreate scenes
from a day largely gone by.
We wondered whether change
in our mountains might elimi -
nate even the sites of our gath
ering by the time another Folk-
Ways birthday rolls around. Well,
mountain folk have always been
known as stubborn and indepen
dent. Let's hold on to the
image by fighting to preserve
and remember if 'not to relive
our Appalachian heritage.
■My thanks to all who help
ed celebrate the occasion. Hope
to see you next year!
