MOl \ ■ «■;/« ■ I noted recently that this ~~ column has been in existence for almost a year and that I have heard from hundreds of people on an infinite variety of topics. It has occurred to me, however, that not once do I recall the mention of cran berries— as edible fruit,. decor ative item, coloring agent, folk remedy, cr what have you. 1 have puzzled over this a bit, for I remember byway of fifth grade geography that at one time cranberries were sup posed to abound in marshy areas from North Carolina to New foundland. And I know, of course, that towns called Cran berry exist or existed in a num ber of southern Appalachian states. I know, too, that cranberry sass has been a favorite dish in this country from the time of the Puritans, they having adap ted the ibimi. or bitter berry, to their own purposes after be ing taught by the Indians to use it as a red dye, a medica tion, and (pounded) as a food to serve with deer or turkey. As time went by resource - ful New England cooks evolved more and more cranberry re cipes—steamed cranberry pud ding, cranberry tarts, cranberry pie, cranberry relish. These recipes and other uses of the marsh ruby, as it was some - times called, eventually found their way into the Appalachian. The wild cranberries were al ready here. Mountain housewives also discovered that these wild ber ries made good jellies, and marmalades either by themselves or combined with other fruits, such as apples, pears, and gooseberries. Children learned that cran berries could be made into necklaces and that a Christmas tree--long before the advent of tree lights—could be made to glow with color from strings of the red jacketed berries, which remained plump and shining for weeks. They learn ed, too, that as a tonic, cran berry juice had sulphur and molasses beat all hollow — at least as to taste ! All of which brings us back to the original question —why no mention of cranberries in the numbers of letters and ccro ments which have come my Savings Bonds Sales Inaease Sales of Series E and H Sa vings Bonds in Yancey County for 1973 were $91,941.00.This represents 116.4 percent of their goal of $79,000.00, ac cording to Arney Fox, County Volunteer Chairman. Sales of Series Eand H Bonds in North Carolina came tos9Q 716,253 in 1973, the highest since 1945, and 104.2 percent of the state's 1973 dollar goal of $87,100,000. E Bond sales for the year were SB9, 603,753. Sale of H Bonds amounted to $1,112,500. The combined percentage increase in sales over 1972 was 4. 1 percent. The effects of the recent increase in interest rate to 6 percent when held to maturity, plus shortening of the maturity on E Bonds from 5 years and 10 months to 5 years, are already evident in increased sales dur ing December.

Perhaps D. L. Stanbery of Laxon, North Carolina, has the answer. " Years ago a small stream ran through my place. It had a shallow bed and the land on both sides was wet and marshy There was one area — no more than ten or twelve feet square —where I found a thick cover ing of bushes. They grew real close to the ground, and along in September, they'd be cow ed with berries. Many times I picked five or six bushels from this one little patch. They were big, too— much bigger than the type you buy in stores today. Then about twenty years ago I decided to deepen the ■tream bed to get rid of some of the boggy land. But when I brought in the ditcher and lowered the water level, the cranberry bushes disappeared. I guess that's what has happen ed other places in the moun - tains where they once grew. Since the backhce came into use, you just don't find marsty land veiy often, and that's the kind of place the cranberry needs to grow. " Pity, isn't it? Somehow that Thanksgiving sass or the Christmas relish would seem twice as good to me if I knew the tart flavor came from gen uine Appalachian wild cran berries! | SPECIALS * ..Jr: I **'. ||s 3 o^^ Re& V $i.59 W, Md ONE A DAY | il MULTIPLE VITAMINS! |1 Plain m ioo’s $029 I ■ Reg. $3.09 £ I j£ vA \® !

The Concord Presbytery has rule 4 that the membeis of the Estatoa Presbyterian Church who have held to their original vows and have not renounced their affiliation with the Presbyterian Church in the United States be re cognized and are declared to be the true congregation of the Estatoa Presbyterian Church and that the members who have withdrawn retain no equity in the property Vof the Church. In another Church in North Carolina which had a simi lar problem, the Judge of the N.C. - Supreme Court has ruled that the property belongs to the Presbyterian Church of the United States. The pull-out group here have withdrawn from the Pres byterian Church U. S. and although they have formed a New Church of their choosing they have continued to come to and hold their meetings in our Estatoa Church. There has always been a hope with us that some of the group who have withdrawn would realize the false ba sis on which they were influenced to do this thing. At a recent meeting with the Ministers Work Commit tee of the Concord Presbytery, and upon their suggestion, the members of the Estatoa Church have agreed to permit the dissident group to have the Church for worship two alternate Sundays in this month of March.
