Heard On Grapevine BY DESSiE HONEYCUTT 682-2648 The Yancey County Com mittee on Aging met at 12 o’clock noon on July twentieth at the First Baptist Church in Bumsyille. Most of the centers are so busy in gardens and getting ready for the fair this weekend they could not be reached. Maybe my phone line was busy when they had time; their phones were busy when I called. My daughter found a book that spoke of a com “shuck ing” or “something”. 1 thought of the chicken dump lings, coconut cake and lemon pie I had eaten “long” ago and the many com shuckings I had attended. Here in our hills in the twenties and thirties a com shucking was a real social event. Everybody helped their neighbors and expected their help to be returned when their crib shed was piled high and walled up with boards to keep the corn from scattering. But the shucking com was not the only work shared and turned into a gay get-tcgether for folks. Bean Stringing was, too. Beans were strung up and hung behind the stove to dry and pickled beans weren’t put in four or five gallon jars then. They used wooden tubs and huge barrels to salt down beans enough to last through the winter to pickle in salty brine. Don’t ever leave out the “lacey biling” that the approach of frost brought on. After you had watched all that green sweet cane juice boil and bubble and b?e skimmed until it changed cblor and thickness into thick molasses. Then the highlight of the evening for the young people was “sopping the boiler” and 1 "'" if a fiddler was handy, before you knew it you had a dance going. How many now can do the Foster Backstep, Hell and Toe, or Bucking Wing? Nope. I can’t. That was many decades ago. —• But it started me to thinking about the approach ing fair. Think I’ll see how many things that were com mon “everyday” to me that are entirely new to my youngest daughter. I expect both of us to have fun too. One can in remembering and the other in learning about the “funny” old ways. Let’s invite everybody to come to the Fair with us and have a real old mountain “Shindig”. . *■ ' | News And Comments From Cattail Creek BY NEVA RENALDO Cattail Correspondent The annual Fun Frolic and Cake Walk was a huge success. It is gratifying to have so many folks come out to join in the festivities. DON DOLLE ran the hot dog concession, assisted by MARY ANN BATCHELLER, and LEE SCHULTZ who delivered the cold drinks, coffee and goodies. AGNES DOLLE handled the Cake Walk, assisted by CATHERINE WALTERS and JOE WARD. In spite of the rain it was a wonderful evening thanks to the Don Dolles who did a bang up job of advertising and SBfaf ;>.* Jkk, , m,- jt - *Bs & i - WK ~ T* ~ jBPiKjflL f* *MH| MBaT - - ’ -*L k ftj• IWm iHT ' * fcTp’JJK 'VI SQfl Iyf;. t , y Ik JR WMlmißiMMßpi vK Pp^ The Sooth Toe Volunteer Fire Deportment is in operation!
