It also makes sense for youngsters to stay in familiar territory, for -parents to accompany small children, and to avoid the wearing of elaborate, clumsy costumes.

The score at half-time was 6-0 but the Panthers took the second half kick off and marched dowu the field with Burl Husldns going 20 yards for the score. Jeff Bailey kicked the extra point to give the Panthers a 7-6 lead.

It is of significance that almost all the fifty states have already adopted similar legis lation permitting the issue of comparable revenue bonds. In the keen competition to attract industry, North Caro lina will be handicapped if it fails to adopt the amendment. arid J^k-^peecfi Joe Minor, a resident of Boone, is a printer—a good one-by trade and a cider maker by druthers. At this season he finds it much easier to concentrate on cidering than on printing. Fall and the ripening of mountain apple cause his blood to tingle and his hand to itch for the wheel of his 100-year-old cider press. He' catches himself gazing vacant-eyed out his office window or refocusing his blurred vision over a layout sheet that keeps moving from rectangle to the oval shape of an apple. CIDER-MAKING IS CONTAGIOUS He claims it’s a contagious disease, for a goodly number of his friends have it, too. He offers evidence in the fact that for over 15 years they have been fellow victims of this fall malady. Innocent passersby and sometimes utter strang ers also fall prey as they gaze on the physical manifestations of the illness and are drawn irrestistibly into one of its varied phases—the washing and spilling of apples into the hopper, tightening the press wheel to start the flow of juice, straining the sweet liquid into stone crocks, and emptying slatted barrels of pulp and peel into garden plots as organic fertilizer. This fall the disease has been especially contagious. On a typical weekend a friend will drive by the Minor residence with a car trunk filled with orchard “drops” to see whether the press is in operation; a church group will bring in a donated tree harvest on a money-making project; a high school club will gather culls to provide sweet cider at the fall dance. FRIENDS DO THEIR SHARE All are welcome. They simply do their share of the operation and leave a small portion of the squeezings as pay, which, often as not, is later divided by the generous Minor with friends, neigh bors, and other kibitzers. Last weekend, for in stance, a university home economics club “just couldn’t manage a reception without real homemade cider-we’ll bring the apples on Saturday.’ They did, indeed, but Joe grinned as he viewed the misshapen assortment of ap ples, Starks, Winesaps, and Rome Beauties gathered from an orchard unsprayed and unpruned for the last five years. “All I can say from the looks of what you’ve picked is that the worms are gonna have to look after them selves!” - “CIDER NUTS ARE ONLOOKERS Stations were soon as signed and the cidering began. By the time the first bushel of apples had clattered into the hopper and the first gallon of juice had been pressed, a curious group of onlookers had formed. Soone they were joined by several “cider nuts,” Joe’s appella- ■n mam I iff I, «if %■:- / ' • '^W yHHKT, W M J[ «p» *'MJj* ""Mm ,-‘"r- ' ,« ,_ .& ' • ..-sgf <Btra«kwßE;.r y .' v tf*j»ss?.--;,? • V 6 Apple Butter Making’ V* An “Old Timey Apple Batter Making” was held Saturday, October 19, at Hemlock HUls Homecrafts. The beautiful fall colors, the log cabin, and the ladles in their long dresses stirring the apple butter, formed a scene which brought back memories to the older local folks and brought to life the stories of olden days in the mountains to the young folks as well as to The activity was enjoyed by many people who stopped to watch the scene and order apple butter, as well as those who made Ifcl Those participating in the event were Curt and Delight Hastings, Mrs. Isabelle Ballew and Mrs. Jacqueline Huskini, ail of Seven Mile Ridge, it is hoped that the “Apple Butter Making” will become an annual affair. of SOUTHERN APPAI.ACIIIA with Rogers Whilrnrr tion for the long-term victims of the apple cider bug. ;> “They’ve got the cider disease. Some of them have been coming by each fall for a.-.; dozen years, and they can’t *, wait to black up their hands with apple juice!” Joe Houser, another na tive of Boone and one of the j designated “nuts” laughed at,. the remark: “Sure, I’m a,, cider nut. This must be at least my fifteenth year of cider-making with Joe. And, frankly, it’s not really the cider I’m after-it’s the making!” He turned, opened the trunk of his car and revealed the red cargo within: “Hey Joe, these won’t even have to be washed-I picked them in a Grade A pasture!” A moment later he had taken over to the; press wheel, his eyes lighting up like those of a kid with a new 10-speed bike. All afternoon and into the evening the cider-making continued until the supply of apples was exhausted. Then, and only then, did the “nuts” and the “near-nuts” turn reluctantly homeward with a farewell, “See you next weekend, Joe.” They will, too, and so will I. My hands are black from apple juice. I’ve come down with a case of the cider disease! Please send all material to Rogers Whitener, Folk-Ways and Folk-Speech, Box 376, University Station, Boone, N.C. 28608.
