Mrs. Wilson has spent Letter To ggL The Editor^^^EE^ l IS - Dear Editor: This severe winter weather has kept many indoors who cannot stand, or do not like, near or below zero temperatures. Icy conditions under foot is another reason for confinement. However, there are many who, while they would prefer being indoors, must by reason of their employment in serving the public be out working in these bitter temperatures. We truly are indebted to those men on the road crews who work night and day keeping our roads clear. We truly are thankful to those who strive to keep water lines from freezing or who strive to thaw out already frozen lines. We remember, too, those who have to deliver the fuel to heat our homes, those who have to repair broken down furnaces, those whose payflfccks depend on working outside, and those many delivery services which keep our stores and us supplied with food and other necessary items. I, for one, am grateful for the strength and ability God has given these people to withstand bitter temperatures while doing their jobs, and I believe we should all get down on our knees and thank Almighty God for them.

Os course, there have been skiing and sled ding, daytime TV and an occasional movie, but these have not been sufficient. The kids are so bored that they even long for the reopening of school. What has helped to a degree, however, is the rediscovery of certain old timey pleasures: making snow cream, for instance; pulling off a tag oi‘ ice from a low-hanging limb and licking it ‘‘as is” or flavoring it with a bit of syrup; popping popcorn over an open fire or roasting chestnuts in the ashes. his was a great snow for snowcream-deep, soft t and with no heavy overcrust. Even made the old fashioned way with only milk, sugar and flavoring added, the cream was smooth and delicious. Mixed with a simple custard it was as lucious as fresh peach icecream in mid-July. For those who have not tried it this way, the formula is simple: Beat up a couple of eggs till they are fluffy, add sugar, and scalded milk, beating the mixture constanty as it cooks over low heat. When it has reached custard consistency, add flavoring (we used both vanilla and black walnut) and then cool. Add snow and £eat by hand or electric mixer and you’re soon in business. My twelve-year-old also discovered snowballs. Not merely the hard ones for neighborhood warfare, but the loosely packed, with pancake syrup poured lightly on the top. Wouldn’t quite touch the maple sugar ones of my youth but still delicious. Neither were the ice pegs quite so great as the ones I knew, flavored with a bit of honey or sorghum. And certainly not even close to the icicles formed occasionally in late winter when a sugar maple limb would snap under heavy ice or snow and the sap would tricle into pure maple sugar pegs. The popcorn popping was a problem. Plenty of Namath style electric poppers to be had but few of the long handled mesh and metal variety to be extended over the fireplace coals. I had to scour the Watauga countryside before discover ing a couple of short-handled mesh ones in a hardware Dana Blalock under the Air Force's Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP).

Actually they normally are not all that scarce. But __this year * tourists and other lowlanders bought them as Christmas gifts for “second homers” in the Appalachians. Seems they make nice rustic fireplace adornments. In any event they still perform their intended role and they still provide the double pleasure of popping and eating. Chestnuts? Well, not quite like those of days past. Somehow the Oriental store bought variety won’t exactly fit the bill when you have memories of the native ones gathered by hand after a heavy wind. But if you’re young and the nostalgia bit isn’t a factor, the roasting can provide a lot of pleasure and excitement, particularly if you forget to punch an air hole in the hull and cause a minor explosion in the fireplace. Now if I can convince my wife that we need a long metal spear and a few slashers of fresh pork to broil over the coals, it may not matter whether school ever starts again! COFFEE ANYONE? A recent Folk-Ways co lumn on coffee substitutes brought a considerable amount of response from readers and other folk here and yon. A gentleman by the name of Mike Morgan, conductor of a talk show for a Rochester, New York radio station, was, for instance, quite interested in the prospects for chicory, he having had some experi ence with a coffee-chicory brew in the New Orleans area. Actually the chicory sub stitute still makes a lot of sense. In the first place we already know that it has been tried with a certain degree of success. Many mountain folk in earlier days would buy a sack of chicory each time they purchased their coffee beans or else, if money was extremely hard to manage, they might do their own chicory digging. Often the chicory taproot was roasted in the oven along with the green coffee beans. Both were then ground together, sometimes on a 50-50 basis if the coffee supply needed to be stretch ed. Dale Tester, a Beech Mountain native, remembers vividly as a child watching his mother in her roasting opera tions: "She would carefully wash the chicory taproots which she had dug, place them in a shallow pans along with green coffee beans, a roast them to a dark brown color, being Wildlife Hearing Scheduled [Cont’d from page 1] the Wildlife Commission. “Os course. Commission biolo gists and others will be meeting in the meantime to consider any changes which might be proposed, and prior to the hearing, these propos ed regulatory changes will be publicized.” The schedule of public hearings-all beginning at 7:30 p.m.-follows: April 4 -Courthouse, Edenton April 5 -Crthste, Jacksonville April 6 -Courthouse, Nashville April 7 -Crthse, Elizabethton April 8 -Courthouse, Graham April 12 -Jackson Co.

It wa: kind of bitter, but it sure made the coffee go a long way.” If the wild chicory plan l can so be used, why shouldn’i we consider domesticating chicory as we have done witl ginseng? Whereas ginseng loses ii per pound value througl cultivation (change of root shape being the major consi deration), the chicory plam would stand to gain. It; taproot would become morx fleshy, less woody, less bittei to the taste. In the European countrie: where chicory has been growr as a commercial crop foi years, it has been determinec that its roasted root yields ut to 65% soluble matter a; compared to the 21 to 25% soluble matter of coffee. It is also interesting tc note that the upper leaves serve very well as a fodder foi cattle and that the early tender leaves make a very tasty salad for human con sumption. Another plus for certain potential users of the chicory brew is the fact that it has nc caffeine and none of the volatile oil associated with coffee. One problem remains. No coffee aroma unless you add coffee for that purpose. But somewhere in America I’m sure an enterprising chemist could also concoct an artificial aromatic coffee flavor that would do the trick for a purely chicory beverage.

Low Bid On Bridgt Project Blue Ridge Structure Company of Skyland, North Carolina, is the apparent low bidder on a highway construc tion project to replace a bridge over Cane River on Murphytown Road (Secon dary Road 1343) near Hunt dale in Yancey County. Blue Ridge Structure Company’s bid of $417,278.27 was one of seven bids for the project opened at a bid letting held in Raleigh on January 25. The bid will now be examined by Department of Transportation engineers and purchasing and contract offi cials before it is presented to the Board of Transportation for contract award. “We anticipate that a new State transportation board will be named very shortly and that it will meet within the next few weeks to consider these bids,” com mented Thomas W. Brad shaw, Jr., Secretary of Trans portation. In all, bids for 25 different highway construction projects were opened this week, representing an expenditure of more than $10.7 million for future highway construction projects across North Caro lina.
