LEAN CHRISTMAS Willard Watson, a maker of folk toys at his home on Wildcat Road near Boone, remembers many lean Christ mas mornings: ‘‘Oranges? Lord a-mercy, I didn’t know about ’em till I was way toward grown. I was lucky to get a few pieces of stick candy-and maybe a hand-me down pair of brogans!” But if the presents were few in the Watson household, there was food in abundance to compensate: fresh pork, sausage, iivfer mush, steam ing pots of backbones and ribs, chunks of tenderloin, and wedges of cracklin’ bread. Younguns today, ac cording to Willard, know little about the good eating of the past: ‘‘All they know is burnt hamburgers and canned rub ber biscuits. Maybe they wouldn’t be so all-fired anxious about presents if they got the same good. eating I got.” LIMITED PRESENTS Frank Hodges, a near neighbor of the Watsons, Local Insurance Man Receives Sates Award Burnsville resident Donald Eugene Lawrence, Route 4, an insurance representative with Combined Insurance Company of America, has received an award for out standing sales and service to the public. s Charlie Lewis, regional sales manager, said Lawrence won the Initial Award in the W.Clement Stone Interna tional Sales and Management Achievement Club. The in ternational club is named after the company’s founder and board chairman. , The Combined group of echoes Willard’s sentiments: “No, I don't remember much byway of presents-a few things in my stockings on Christmas morping-but I do Ol € ' j:' ; S . remember the cakes and pies baked especially for the holidays. Apple sauce cake was' a" favorite-made with molasses instead of sugar and then we nearly always had dried apple apd pumpkin pies. We didn’t worry much about presents.” Mrs. D. W. Cook, also a craftsman, who lives at SAnes, North Carolina, also notes the lack of a Christmas , Uwv dUU UIC UuUICU prcaCllia, but she also attests to the abundance of good food: ■ ‘As far as our Santa Claus was concerned, we might get a wax, China or rag doll in addition to fruits and nuts, but we usually went to church for Christmas tree services.” PLENTY OF FOOD “Food? There was always plenty. Turkey, chicken, wild game, country ham, some times a goose. We had all manner of bread, from bis cuits to skillet combread, but most of all I remember the *• desserts: top apple pie, stickies, fruit cake-called ‘knee deep’ because g had so many layers-and maple sugar candy.” Estella Barnes, another craftsman who lives on the Jefferson Road just outside Boone, like Mrs. Cook re members an occasional doll for Christmas, often a Dell or China doll, with “painted on hair.” She, too, recalls the Christmas food, in particular that prepared over an open fife: “There was usually a vegetable pot going, and sometimes we cooked ham and other meat over the flames. Also we would some times have spice or sassafras tea, along with roasted chestnuts and other nuts which we would ‘shatter out’ on the hearth.” SPECIAL SERVICES '“Usually we would go to church for the Christmas tree companies specialize in non cancellable accident and health income-protection and life insurance. Last year the group paid benefits in excess of 596,000,000. The group is unusual in that the needs of customers are under constant review, with representatives calling personally on policyholders at least every six months to provide individual service. Lawrence became associated with Combined as a repre sentative and his work in service to policyholders earn ed him his award. and special services. There were Christmas songs, recit ing of Bible verses, and the giying of other'recitations.” MADE OUR OWN Harold “Slim” Garrison, of Bald Mountain, North Carolina, becomes downright scornful when Christmas pro* sents fro mentioned: “My Lord, we didn’t need presents -we made our own: wooden wheeled wagons, sleds, sling shots, and play pretties of all kinds. What we really cared about was' the good food, like molasses cake, ‘pore do’ (combread in hot grease), ‘sweet line stacker’ (fruit cake) and fatty bread. You give me that kind of eating today and I’ll be as happy as I wastheni” Weir, maybe not. But on the other hand. . .
