It*-*****. V. I’, 2H007 As luis invn noted many times by many people, this has been an unusually mild winter in Appalachia, but it also has been a stubborn one. lingering into late April with occasional touches of frost and snow. Old-timers continue to threaten amateur gardeners with the possibility of a May “robbin snow” and recall the dogwood and blackberry winters of the Appalachian past. (Note: Do readers know of other winter-into-spring expressions) But it is undeniably spring, regardless of the number of cold mornings between now and June 1, and spring tonics and old-time remedies’are on the minds of readers. Irene Sears, * of the Bristol area, offers several suggestions carried over from her childhood. “I will be seventy-nine in December and 1 lived with my grandparents from the age of two till their death. They lived by the old sayings so, of course, 1 learned them. "I took sulphur and molasses every spring, also drank sassa fras tea every morning, and went out in the fust rain of May to get my head wet so I wouldn’t have a cold all the year. "My grandfather made wine from elderberries and that wine was supposed to cure all ills. He did not sell it but kept it. Also wine from other berries, and people would come from miles around for him to doctor them. Os course, they would carry some home with them.” another reader, Harry B. Carter, of Wise, Virginia, notes two other mountain remedies occasionally recommended in the mountains. His letter fol lows: “1 read your column in the Bristol Herald-Courier. Would like to contribute the following, heard and seen while growing up. ‘"Pawn my honor!’ (I’m surprised these words have missed being printed in your column). Also. I had a brother suffering from an ailment called tisic. Woman came to the home and told my mother to get a black gum stick. They cut the stick to the height of my brother. Instructions were to take the stick and put it in a swampy place where the child had been playing. It was supposed to be a cure for the ailment. “On another occasion 1 saw a young woman with a wool sock (dirty) tied around her neck. She said it was a cure for sore throat. Then there was fat meat tied on a stone bruise, usually side bacon." Other remedies are recalled by Mrs. Wilie Maxie, of Came lot. Tennessee. A portion of her letter follows: "This 1 have seen tried. If you have a seed wart, get a piece of soft green wood such as green apple or a green sprout from most trees. Cut a piece as long as your finger, and for every wart you cut a notch in the stick and rub it over the wart. drawals. It requires that you receive interest at the regular savings rate for the period held less 90 days interest. Move up to the best bank-safe savings plan. Move your funds to First-Citizens. Bury the stick under the back of the house and forget about it, as it will rot and the wart will go away. "Back when 1 was a child if you had wliooping cough in the spring you kept it till the leaves fell in the fall if you did not know about making a tea from chest nut leaves. Also a tea made from them real strong would kill poison oak itch. I ought to know. I’ve had to be washed in it enough when I was small. My aunt raised me-she said she believed I hunted for the stuff to - get into.” Mrs. Maxie also verifies Mr. f Carter’s story of the tisic or asthma remedy. “I personally know this family with a child that would almost choke to death with asthma. An old woman in the neighborhood told them to find a young sapling that was growing, to stand the child up by it and cut a notch at his height in the tree. As the tree grew, the asthma would leave him. He is a young man now and doesn’t look like he was ever sick a day in his life.!” _ Ralph Tedder, of Wilkes boro. North Carolina, also pass es along a method to prevent headaches, along with a number of superstitions, several of which follow: “Comb your hair on Good Friday. And don’t comb it on Friday any other time during the year in order to prevent a head ache.” "Keep a horseshoe in the fire and it will keep the hawks away." “If you see one buzzard and you don’t see two, you will see someone you are not expecting" "If a .buzzard flaps its wing more than three times before it gets out of your sight, you will see your sweetheart before night.” Merely in passing, several „ readers have made mention of their hometowns and how those names happened to be chosen. If your hometown has an unusual name and you know the story behind it, I would be pleased to hear it. Write to: Rogers Whitener, Folk-Ways and Folk-Speech, University Station, Boone, N.C. 28608. Mohasto Management § Changes (Cont’d from page 1) son of Herbert L. Shuttleworth, ;* first president and co-founder ' with three brothers of the Shuttleworth Brothers Co. The ' latter company and Alexander Smith, Inc., the carpet firm which dates back to 1845, were the principalnue'ei around which today’s Mohasco Corpor ation has been built. Herbert L.Shuttleworth,2nd, has been with the organization since 1937 when he joined Mohawk. He was elected a vice president and a director in 1940, advanced to executive vice president in 1948 and president in 1952. Three years later he led the Mohawk merger with Alex ander Smith to form Mohasco Industries, Inc., and continued as president of the merged companies. Mr. Shuttleworth is a direc tor of the Bankers Trust Com pany of Albany, N.A., ? mem ber of the Region I advisory board of Manufacturers Han over Trust Company, a governor of the American Mart Corp. and a former chairman of the American Carpet Institute. A graduate of Dartmouth College (1935) and Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology (1937), he served six years as a member of the board of overseers of Dart mouth’s Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. Mohasco makes and distri butes nationally and overseas broad lines of interior furnish ings for homes, businesses and institutions and is also in the furniture rental business. Modification of the name to Mohasco Corporation, as ap proved by stockholders at the annual meeting, the company said, “reflects Mohasco’s di versification into non-manufac turing activities in the interior furnishings field. It will also underscore, through uniform corporation identification, that Mohasco’s reputation extends to all its products and services.” T/yE CH UPf&'S Ho^R The Boy Who Didn’t Believe In Spring, written by Lucille Clifton with pictures by Brinton Turkle, was read to 28 “little people" this past Monday at the 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. CHILDRENS HOUR in the Yancey County Public Library.
