Singing In The Wishtob
There's nothing in his wortd
I wouldn't do (or you. That it
a line from a song that I wish
you all could hear me sing. I
can sUO sing it so pretty For
soma reason I happened to
think of that song the other
day and I sang it ow and over.
That was the only part of the
song I could remember. Did
you ever do that?
I didn't really mean that
about wishing you could hear
me sing. While I was serious
about how pretty I can sing I
had rather nobody heard me.
I've gotten so that I don't want
anybody listening to my
singing. You see, I used to sing
a lot, especially in the bathtub,
but I had to quit it Every time
I would start singing my dog ,
would begin howling like she
was sitting on a cocklebur. She
would howl so loud that she
would get me off key and |
when that happened I'd just
have to hush.
Talking about singing in the
bathtub; that is something I
sun didn't do when I was
growing up. Reason I didn't,
well, there were several. First
of all, we didn't have one to j
sing in or bathe in either.
Another was that I didn't
spend enough time bathing to
ever get any song singing done.
What we had for this
bathing business was a No. 3
wash tub and I never could get
comfortable enough in it to
feel like singing much. And,
besides, I never would have
enough water in the tub to
bring on a singing mood. You
see, I had to draw the water
out of the deepest well in the
country and that was why I
could take a bath in just one
bucket of water. I'm pretty
sure I could have gotten clean
- well, clean enough for me, in
only half a bucket, but I never
could figure how I could draw
just that much out of the well.
We used to have what we
called a wash-house. It served
several purposes. Clothes got
washed in it and youngans,too.
It also housed our well. I
reckon n could have called U
Mir weM-houaa just aa good but
toe* than was ao much
washing want on in it that la
?hat we had it named.
With Mama dMnttnaas was
ilmost an obaaaskm. Sha didn't
Mm iw to taka into
roosideration how far that
water had to come out of the
pound, nor how much I had to
lraw every day for the cows,
aoraes, hogs, and a certain
?mount for us people. Why, I
can remember her making me
take aa high as two all-over
baths in one week.
She used to remind me that
cleanliness was next to
Godliness. But if I had to draw
up more than one bucket of
water to bathe in I sure didn't
liave that righteous feeling,
either before or after a bath.
I never will forget one
particular bath I had. As usual
Mama insisted that I had to
have an all-over bath. So, off to
the wash-house I went. After I
got there I happened to think
of the watering trough that was
nearly plumb full of water. It
seemed like a powerful good
idea. I just crawled through an
opening in the wall and into
that watering trough. The
water was so warm and I
decided, then and there, where
I would take all future baths.
That is, in he summertime,
when I couldn't get to the
creek. And I couldn't for the
life of me, imagine why I
hadn't thought of this before.
Mama was well pleased with
that particular bath, and so was
I. I had really washed good.
Mama said.
Next morning Papa called
me out in the barn lot Said he
wanted me to look at the water
in the horse trough. I did. It
was kinda milky looking. He
said none of the stock would
drink it and he wondered if I
had any idea what had gotten
into it to turn it such a color. I
confessed that I was s puzzled
as he was. Then he made a big
show of scooping up some of
the water in his hands and

TAR HEEL
OUTDOOR?
by Jo?l Arlington
Outdoor Editor, North Carolina Trovol ft Promotion Division
CAROLINA BEACH-There
were times when it was
difficult to hear the beagles
because of the roaring surf. But
through most of the morning,
melodic yelps and excited
quails rang over the dunes and
brightened an otherwise dismal
day.
A mist fell from
low-hanging clouds and brisk
easterly winds churned the sea
less than 500 yards from the
spot where Lane Holt released
eight beagles into a dense
growth of dune grass and
myrtle bushes. Holt and his
father, Dan, who own the
beagle pack, do not have to go
far from home to find rabbits.
"Why, the dunes are full of
'em," the elder Holt had told
me. And so they were, I soon
discovered.
Less than five minutes after
the dogs were turned loose
they were on a track. It
continued that way all
morning, one race after
another, until the mist turned
to rain and we calle4 off the
dogs and went in.
The beagles ran at least 15
rabbits, although we bagged
only five. Considering the
dense cover it was surprising
we killed any. But the
caterwauling that ensues when
beagles are "on the line" is
what the game is all about
Shooting is merely a poor
method for keeping score.
Dune bunnies are not
cottontails but marsh rabbits.
That may seem like a small
point, but to beagles and
hunters there is a world of
difference.
"Marsh rabbit* really test a
dog," Lane told me at we
stood atop a dune listening to
the "music." "Cottontails get
way out in front of the pack
and usually run a more or less
straigt course. But marsh
rabbits change direction so
often it takes a good dog to
stay with them."
I saw this demonstration
time and again. The pack
would be giving voice on a hoi
trail when suddenly, and all
together, they would stop
barking. On the occasioni
when I could see the dogs, !
watched them cast about foi
the lost trail, every noac cloai
to the ground. Invariably ora
would pick it up again, begii
to bark, or "open" as Uiey say
and the others would follow
This searching for a lost scent
is called "checking" in dog
parlance.
The Holt beagles can boast
of an aristocratic family tree.
They are related to Dixie
Major, Boogie, and Little
Sportsman, all famous
champions.
"I think we have come as
far as we can in improving our
pack," Dan said proudly "It's
doubtful that any better dogs
exist."
Even a novice could see that
the pack trailed exceptionally
well. Only once, while running
the first rabbit of the morning,
did the dogs lose the scent and
fail to find it "They are
sometimes too excited on the
first rabbit," Lane said. "Makes
'em careless."
Most of the pack are veteran
hunters, but two pups still have
a few things to learn. From
time to time the younger dogs
would bound through the
grass, leaping over obstacles, in
order to catch up with the
older dogs. Whenever Lane
could reach the guilty pup he
would swat it with this hat.
"They'll learn to keep their
noses on the ground before
long," he said.
The number of rabbits and
amount of sign in the dunes
was surprising. There were
large areas where the grass had
been pressed flat from lounging
bunnies. Cuttings littered the
ground and droppings were
everywhere.
"We nave pieniy 01
rabbits," Lane said, "because
there are no foxes on the
island." Carolina Beach is
located on an island because a
section of the Intracoastal
Waterway between Myrtle
Sound and the Cape Fear River
cuts off the tip of a peninsula
that otherwise would be
connected to the mainland.
The marsh pass supports so
many rabbits that the dogs
> sometimes would run across a
trail just as fresh as the one
i they were following. But after
a moments hesitation, they
would start merrily off again
I on one of the tracks,
i "There are some marsh
i islands north of Carolina Beach
[ Inlet that are just thick with
r rabbits," Dan said. "We send
> the dogi into the com and
s stand on the surroundini
i dunes. When he rabbits pof
, out onto the sand, we usually
. net a shot."
smelling of it. He aid it ?ure
an elled a whole lot like lye
?oap to him. He suggested that
I take a good am ell. He waa *
right aa be could be. II
certainly did smell exactly like
he said it did. Then he
wondered how in the world
that aoap could have gotten in
there. I wondered right along
with him. And we both did our
wondering out loud.
When we got all through
doing his wondering be laid to
me, "Now, if you honestly
don't know how that aoap got
in there, then I will dip all that
out, clean the trough, and (ill it
with fresh water. Otherwise I
suggest that you get busy with
the job."
Now when Papa made a
suggestion. . .
It took thirty buckets of
water to refill the trough. And
during the time I was fighting
that old windlass 1 said some
pretty mean things to Papa's
oldest boy about leaving soap
in the bath water. And to think
I could have gotten a bath
simply by drawing only one
bucket of water! I also made a
solid vow that in the future I
just wouldn't take any chances
with hat soap deal by not using
any of the dang stuff.
I sure wish I could
remember the rest of that song.
I have sung that one line til I'm
getting sick of it.
Veterans
Corner
Q. For some time I have had
the Veterans Administration
retain my G.I., insurance
dividends, but I just got a letter
saying I should apply for
reinstatement of my policy. I
know that I have enough
dividends to cover the
premium due. What happened?
A. With your present
option, the dividends you have
left on deposit with VA do
draw interest. However, they
are like a bank account; the
VA cannot use these dividends
to pay your G.I. insurance
premiums without your
permission. To insure that your
policy will not lapse in the
future, you should change your
dividend option to provide that
dividends will be used to pay
the insurance premiums in
advance, as they accrue. You
will be furnished a statement
each time dividends are
applied, letting you know how
far ahead you are paid, when
the next premium is due, and
the amount of any partial
credit left over.
Q. I am told that my
nonservice-connected pension
payment will be increased
soon. When will I receive my
increased payments?
A. The VA nonservice-con
nected pension program was
restructed effective Jan. 1,
1969. Approximately 1.2
million beneficiaries under this
program will receive increased
payments also went into effect
Jan. 1, so if you qualify for an
increase, you should receive
your higher pension check
around Feb. 1.
Wife May Sign ; :
When Husband
Is In Vietnam
GREENSBORO, Nl
C. -Wives of servicemen serving
in Vietnam may file a joint
return without their husband's
signature on the tax return!
The wife should indicate in th<
space provided for her
husband's signature on the
return that he is in military
service in Vietnam.
Refunds on such returns
will be expedited.
However, J. E. Wall, District
Director, says that all income
and all withholding statements
of both husband and wife must
be included in the return
before it may be processed as a
joint return.
Wall requested wives of
servicemen serving in Vietnam
to make sure that their
husbands' Forms W-2 are
attached to the joint return,
and that all income of both is
included on the return.
Wall also stated that the
wife of a serviceman in
Vietnam may elect not to file a
joint return until the due date
for her husband's tax return
which is 180 days after leaving
Vietnam or 180 days after
confinement to an overseas
hospital in which he was
recuperating from wounds or
illness resulting from service in
Vietnam.
The wife is also entitled to
file a separate return and then
file an amended joint return
later If It is to he* and her
husband's advantage to do to.
