We hear that the folks in the deep, deep south have been having nippy weather. We’ve been past the nippy stage a long time here in the mountains. All we hear from the weather man is “hard freeze” this winter, we're used to it by now. During my life’s span many snows have fall en on this old gray head (Yes, dears, I usually wore my hat), and the only thing that I have ever found that 1 liked about it was to look at it in a subdued light, pre ferably from a cozy window. Hut such has not been my lot. I’ve had to wallow in it. It had started sifting down a few tiny crystals last night before Minnie and I went to bed. I got up and looked out the window about midnight and knew we were in for it. Mrs. Perkin’s evergreens were drooping earthward. The first thing I did this morning was to put on chains, such a day makes one appreciate Mr. Beacon and his factory. I got almost home without them this evening, but had to put them back on to get up the hill to the house. I went to feed the pony and took a brief glance around. The spruce limbs were pointing to the ground like long ghost fingers as if to say "Here is where the treasure is buried.” The needles on each twigs of the whitepines looked as if they were inbedded in a mat of ermine, the forked branches of the hardw’oods held fluffy white pillows, now and then these would give way in a snowy shower. Mysterious trails of small ani mals went, hither and von. SkiDDV. the dog, romped gleefully, making the snow spray around him. The pods of the daylillies stood up out of the snow like dark skinned elves with a white nightcap on. The pony stood in the lot and kicked his heels high into the air from the simple joy of living and the exhilaration of the crisp at mosphere. But so much for this snow, I have become balled up in my columns, missed last week on account of a “cut,” and by the time this one comes out the snow will probably be gone and the peach trees will be blooming. But we can talk of other snow storms. Several years ago Minnie and I were at my dad’s home in late winter. It came a deep dry snow followed by high northerly winds, the white stuff drifted where the winds eddied from three to five feet deep. North Fork was really snowbound. I think Thad Burnett finally wallowed his way to Black Mountain by foot. Before any vehicle had broken through, Yank Franklin took seriously ill. It didn’t take a doctor to know that he had a bad case of appendicitis. We did everything possible to ease his suffering; but a trip to the hospital was imperative. The school bus was marooned out there. Every able-bodied man in the valley got shovels and loaded into the bus. Ben Morris was the driver. He headed her toward town. He rammed her into the first drift we came to, we loped out and shoveled through, and so on to the next one (I saw one man digging with a garden hoe.) In an amazing short time we had dug through to town. The late Zack Morris and another fellow follow ed us out with Yank in an A Model Ford and got him to the hospital before it was too late. There is no doubt that Ben’s expert driv ing and our fast digging saved the man’s life. I got so used to snow when I lived in Toe River Gap that I would go out about 100 feet from the house barefooted and in my unde rw ear (long-handled, of course) to read the rain gauge. I used to stand at my west window and watch the snow boil up Right Hand Fork. It reminded one of steam rolling off a kettle. I’ve had a chance to watch the weather a great deal, and I never tire of it. I’ll tell you more of my ex periences in Toe River Gap some time. Right now I’ll tell you one little episode. One afternoon I was alone and lonely, there was about five inches of snow on the ground, and the temperature was around 10 above. I got into my B Model Ford and started up to Mt. Mitchell to see what I could. The late Coy Ballew was weather re porter out there and I had a nice visit with him and started back. I stopped by the old CCC camp where the warden stayed and found that Mr. Wilson wasn’t there. His substitute was out of cigarettes. I offered to take him down to my camp and give him some. We made the trip down all right, and after sitting around my house awhile, I started to take him home. Anyone that has ever driven in frozen snow knows that it is very unpredictable. You just can’t use the brakes, you have to stop other ways. Halfway from Camp Alice to Stepp’s Gap we hit an icy spot and slid out of the road right on top of a 30 foot sloping cliff, some infinitesimal obstacle kept us from going on over. The car was teetering so close to the edge that all the gasoline spilled from the tank, if it had gone two inches farther we would have rolled a couple of hundred yards down the mountain. We crawled gingerly out. It was r BLACK MOUNTAIN INSURANCE COMPANY GENERAL INSURANCE and BONDS Representing Leading Stock Companies GREENE BUILDING BLACK MOUNTAIN. N C I getting dark by now, and the tem perature was hovering on zero, i We started to walk up to radio station WMIT. The folks there were sympathetic, but refused to take the bulldozer and lift the ear out until the weather broke. The ; station thermometer now regis- ‘ tered 10 below. Milo Wyatts got 1 the truck out and went to look, 1 but said he would have to have i daylight. He went back and let , us out in Stepp’s Gap and we started walking to the CCC camp, a distance of two miles. 1 recall : this as the most disagreeable trip I ever took. The frigid north wind was whipping across that high ridge like a bullwhip. Every now and then one of us would fall across a frozen ledge. It was aw ful, but we made it. When we got to the warden’s camp we built a roaring fire and thawed out. When the weather broke, Milo brought the 'dozer and set my car back into the road. It was one of the many times that I have felt thnt God had saved my life for an explicit reason (Probably to lead singing in the Lakewood Bap tist church). Many, many years ago my dad and I went to West Virginia and bought farms. My nephew, Laur ence Walker, and I were looking through some old implements that had been left in one of the out buildings and found an old factory made sleigh, complete with bell festooned harness. She had been beautiful with a curving dash board, steelplated runners, and well-cushioned seats. Rut it had seen better days and was in very bad repair. Laurence was a born fixer, and in spare time on hot autumn afternoons he would work and sweat on fixing up that sleigh. He had her in good shape by cold weather. Came the snows! And I mean snows. So dry that when a horse trotted it would fog up like Aug ust dust. We put ice calks in the horse’s shoes, they could walk on ice without falling down. You can well imagine the pleasure we derived from that sleigh, going to the post office in the white gloom of deep whiter, sitting around listening to hearty stories, and watching the rural people try feats of strength, and then clop, clopping home through the glisten ing night. There was an ice house on the farm, and we found an old ice saw. The creek froze in ice 10 inches thick and we sawed blocks out for aummor iko /It. lacfpri until .TnlvV The temperature was below zero, but we worked in light elothing, one gets used to it. For weeks we had lovely weather with azure skies and brilliant sun without the snow melting one bit, so dry one could roll in it. One of the loveliest pictures in my memories of West Virginia is of a tawny-haired young ladv standing in deep snow in red ga loshes with a brief glimpse of silken-clad leg above, chic woolen skirt and bright sweater, careless ly flung scarf, cheeks like pale roses in milk, blue eyes dancing with mischief, and carmine lips parted in joyous laughter. And what was this winter nymph do ing? Pelting me with snowballs! Part of this column will be two weeks old and I thought that win ter might be broke by the time it came out, but it did not look that way this morning (Feb. 2.) Sleet was frozen deep on the white pines. I turned the flashlight up ward over the boughs as we walk ed out to where the car was parked when we started to work. They sparkled and shone like fairies had decorated them with millions of gems during the night. So win ter must be with us yet. If there is anything in the leg end of the groundhog we will have an early spring. No self-respect ing groundhog would have stuck his nose out on a day like this. 1 read just now that people that are beginning to age a little bit and are always telling tales of the olden days are very boring, espec ially to younger folks. Tell me, Gentle Readers, do I bore you? Heaven forbid! In the current issue of the Chris tian Herald I ran across several ways to get rid of inefficient pas tors. In case you didn’t read it I will repeat it here. 1. Look him straight in the eye when he is preaching, and say “Amen” once in a while. He’ll preach himself to death within a few weeks. 2. Pat him on the back and brag on his good points. He’ll work himself to death. 3. Start paying him a living wage. He’s probably been on star vation wages so long he’ll eat him self to death. 4. Rededicate your own life to Christ and ask the preacher to give you a job to do. He’ll probabl” die of heart failure. 6. Get the church to unite in prayer for the preacher. He’ll be come so effective some larger church will take him off your hands. We offer deepest sympathy to our beloved Wicker sisters. I have known Miss Maude Wicker for several decades. She was a very cultured lady. Something new has been added at the Pix Theater—a snazzy drink machine in the lobby. Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Mixon are building an addition to their home on the North Fork road. The Lakewood Baptist church has purchased over 100 chairs recently. If you visit us you cer tainly won’t have to stand up. The Eugene Byrds, Minnie, and I had supper with Fred Schnelz Sat urday night. Fred served one of his usual delectable meals after which we had a talk fest, and viewed some of )\jp lovely color slides. The celestial choir of the Lake wood Baptist church rendered spe cial music this Sunday. Co een Blankenship and Minnie Walkei SHOWER IS GIVEN JY S. S.
