I 6 Tradition 9
m * m
BY ROGERS WHITENER
The recent cold snap in the mountains,
accompanied by several inches of snow, threatens =
to upset the schedule of fall hog killing.
Traditionally, the mountain man sets his sights
on Thanksgiving or the early part of December to 5
take care of this traditional seasonal chore, but he
E just may move it up this year with the threat of E
another cold winter.
Not tVibt he ever has really been bound by a S
specific period. He has, however, usually favored E
butchering when the moon was right, usually at the =
= full.
Sometimes he forgets even this, however, if it
appears that he is going to have several cool days in EE
E early fall for his operations.
A story dating back to the advent of tourists and EE
their air-conditioned cars in the mountains s
5 illustrates this fact.
An oldtimer trudging along the road and
headed for the country store on a hot September
E day was offered a ride by a tourist driving a
Cadillac with air conditioner going full force.
'‘Can I give you a lift?” the driver asked.
“1 reckon I might go a piece with you,” the
E mountain man replied. E
But after settling briefly in the front seat, he z
began to feel the chill emanating from the air
E conditioner.
"I believe you might let me out now,” he ~
allowed. ■*** i
"But you just got in,” said the driver. “I
E thought you were on the way to the store.”
"Well, I did have that in mind when I started,”
said the mountaineer, "but you know this cold snap
that’s come up so quick makes me think I better get
E back and tend to my hog-killing!”
(from Folk-Way* and Folk-Speech)
in the second half, establish
ing a good running game
behind tailback David Hodge.
Madison pushed in another
score early in the third
quarter on a Hodge run, but
the extra point failed. It
appeared that Heritage’s 24-
lb advantage would be
seriously threatened when the
Cougars were unable to move
the ball and had to punt. The
Patriots seemed to be driving
on the Cougars behind the
running of Hodge and the
passing combination of Nix’s
to McCormick, when Nix’s
went to the air one too many
times and cornerback Pat
Hardy picked off the pass and
returned it 40 yards for a final
touchdown and put the game
out of reach.
