Dr. Cratis Williams, wide ly known Southern Appala chia folklorist, notes, for instance, that the dishrag wart cure practiced in Ken tucky during his boyhood days involved merely rubbing the wart with a wet dishrag and burying the rag in the leak of the house. As the rag decayed, the wart disap peared. In other dishrag cures cited, however, the process becomes more involved. In one instance, the dishrag must be stolen from a neighbor and the neighbor must never be told of the theft; otherwise the wart will come back. In another instance it is “steal your mother’s dish rag” and never let her know you have taken it. In another, the dishrag must be black and greasy. But the surest cure involving a dishrag is not merely to rub the wart but to prick it and stain the rag with the blood. The dishrag is then Keep Treated Seed Away From Feed Farmers are being cau tioned not to allow chem ically treated seed to con taminate grain that will be fed to livestock or placed in commercial trade channels. Leftover seed that has been treated should be disposed of properly or safely stored (or later use, said Dr. Gene Sulli van, extension seed spe cialist at North Carolina State University. Sullivan cited North Carolina statutes which make it unlawful to con taminate grains meant for human or animal con sumption. Fines of SIOO to SI,OOO, 60 days in jail or both are possible pen I 'Cane River News] Cane River has several events to report since the last couple of weeks of school is always a busy time. MATH CLUB VISITS COMPUTER CENTERS By Jill Peterson On Tuesday, May 11. the Math Club visited the Com puter Centers at Mars Hill, UNCA, and AB Tech. The students left at 9:30 a.m. on the trip. They learned how to punch computer cards. Some students played games with them, while others watched. They went to the Botan nical Gardens at UNC. They ate at Hardees and McDon alds, and arrived at Cane II ' jt agl ftp ■ mb II I 1 Bill Daniels Holds Trophy Teacher Places Third In Annual Karate Meet Bill Daniels of the Avery County Karate School is also the seventh grade teacher at South Toe Elementary School. On May 8, Bill competed with approximately 40 Black Belts at the 4th Annual Appala chian Karate Championships. Bill took a third place in the hidden under a rock until it rots and causes the wart to disappear. Dr. Williams also notes that a cure previously cited in Folk-Ways-feeding wart bloodied grains of com to chickens-will not work with run-of-the-mill chickens. Only black hens have the power to effect a cure. He also provides some additional conjuring informa tion: “The wart conjurer is an old person (man or woman) who knows the secret incanta tion to recite while rubbing the wart slowly with his hands. The incantation was said to have been passed on by oral tradition from another wart conjurer, who, after giving the magical power away, was no longer able to conjure warts away. “The secret was passed on to still another after a conjurer reached old age. (One won ders whether the notion might have come down from the Druids.)” Jake Caudill, a Boone resident, provides us with a wart remedy new to us: alties for those convicted of such offenses. Practically all corn seed and much of the soybean seed used in the state are treated with fungicides and therefore can be used for. planting only, Sulli van said. This treated ma terial could cadse/serious human or aniife£l health problems if it becomes mixed with edible corn or beans. Sullivan cited an Ari zona case of a few years ago in which a family ate pork from animals that had been fed treated seed grain. Members of the family suffered serious and permanent disabilities as a result. River at 7:00 p.m. * IN LOCAL PLAY Kevin Shirley, a freshman .at Cane River, appeared in * the Woody Alien play Don’t Drink the Water, presented by the Burnsville Little Theater. Kevin played the part of Burns, an assistant tot the U.S. Ambassador in a Communist country. The play was a comedy and proved to be a success. Kevin did a great job of portraying Bums. * FINANCIAL AID By Katrinla Adkins The following students have received financial aid from the schools they plan to Black Belt Lightweight Divi sion. Beginning on Tuesday, May 25, there will be offered to Juniors (age 9-14) a class in Karate. The class is open to both boys and girls. All interested parties should see or contact Bill on or before this date. V** V*<\ &s“?■' tv. ' -A “Sneak up behind a white horse, grab his left rear leg, and file some shavings off his hoof. Rub the shavings on the wart and it will be gone in a few days.” Caudill also has heard of a cure involving the use of pennies: “Take three new and shiny pennies, rub each one on the wart, and then tie them in a handkerchief. Drop the handkerchief by the roadside and the person who picks it up and takes the pennies will get the wart.” But ho\y does one get warts in the first place? Handling frogs is the normal response, but Dr. Williams is quick to point out: “only if the toad urinates on the handler. ’ Os course, there is still another way: Lie on your back and count the stars-you’U have as many warts as you counted stars. Ur iry counting the warts on another person and they will soon be transferred to you. A note from Dr. Herbert Wey f ASU chancellor, claims no wart curies, but he does have a suggestion for healing a sty: “I can still remember my mother using folk reme dies, and I can still recall that when one of us had a sty on his eye we would cure it by holding a silver coin on the sty. The sty went away in two br three days and, of course, we all thought that tiie silver coin was the reason-and it could well have been I” Readers are invited to send folk material to Folk ways and Folk-Speech, Box 376, Appalachian State Uni versity, Boone, N.C. 28608. attend: Tammy Adkins-SI6OO from Montreat-Anderson, Phillip Ray-$2500 from Mars Hill, Karen Randolph-S2OOO from Montreat-Anderson, Jean McKinney-$2600 from Montreat-Anderson, and Ka trinia Adkins-$2600 from Montreat Anderson. * STUDENTS SEE THE CRUCIBLE On May 11 the Cane River Drama Class went to East Yancey to see “The Crucible” presented by the East Yancey Drama Class. “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, is about the witch trials in Salem, Massa shusetts in 1692.
