"Hitefcffiftng” For Pleasure
Still Has Its Good Points
Evard James and Paul Urn
stead Have Varieties Os
Experience Enroute To And
From Florida
Its a long way from here to
Sarasota, Florida. but in the
opinion of two Roxboro boys,
Evard James and Paul Um-|
stead, “respectable hitch-hiking”,!
despite two decades of Jaws and
sentiment against it, still has its
points. Paul and Evard ought to
know.
In fact,they do know, having i
but recently returned from a two
week’s thumbing trip to the land
where oranges and girls grow
sweeter. Coming back home on
a rainy Sunday afternoon, the
boys, who are not quite old en
ough to vote, although they may
be properly called “young men”,
have a new appreciation of home
cooked meals and clean white
sheets.
That’s because they can narrate
the experience of spending a
night in a (box-car and because
there was a time when “dinner
in the evening was one orange
and nothing else”. “And one
orange”, Paul says, “is slim eat
ing for a wander”. A kindly fruit
merchant helped them out by
accepting a dollar watch Paul
had, at fifty cents valuation in
trade, and even added a bit to
the amount so bread could be
bought, and it is people like that
merchant who makes hitch-hik
ing a pleasure, Evard thinks.
The trip down was made in
five days, with rides coming
much easier in North and South
Carolina than they did lower,
down- Their first > stop was i|j
Southern Pine*. Then they caught
a ride to Aiken, S. C., had a four
hour wait in Columbia, went on
to Waycross, Ga., and to Jackson
ville, Fla., and ended their ex
ploration at Sarasota, where they
remained for about a week as
the guests of a Roxboro resident.
Coming back was quicker, al
though at Columbia, S. C., where
they stayed with Paul’s brother
in-law and sister, they had the
experience of getting nowhere
in hurry when they left Columbia

and got as far as Camdem, only
to wait and wait there for four
long hours. Four long hours and
no ride, until they took a despa
rate return jaunt to Columbia
for the night.
Evard and Paul took this trip
for pleasure, just because they
wanted to go to far places. And
they had, at the start, a little
money between them, but on the
road, especially in Georgia and
Florida,, they found many,tough
yoUngeslers and a few otter men,
plus gome who. had the
professional .hitch-hiking touch
and were ..unashamed, of it; One
lad from Colorado had not had
a hair-cut in six months, but he
was rather proud of it than not.
Others had been “on the road”
much longer, but most of them
were a dirty unkept crew.
Evard and Paul are lucky
young men. They went bumming,
but did not become bums in the
process. With help from the Col
umbia kinsfolk, they made the
last lap of the return trip home
iby bus, where they were wel
comed and where the jobs they
left were waiting for them. The
trip’s over now. The dream is
satisfied and they, are the same
good citizens they have always
been, although their converation
al scope—at the local drug store
—reachs new horizons.
