' During the Bicentennial

by a pattern company.
There are special tips and
suggestions to help add 18th
century details to hair
styles, accessories, fabric
selection, etc.
There is great contrast
between the pioneer woman
and frontier man to the
Grand Lady and Great
Statesman. For instance,
. ' the dress Oi the elegant lady
had many pieces consisting
of a chemise, corset, pet
ticoat and the overdress
which would be full to make
her waist appear tiny. The
fine fabric would have been
damasks, taffetas, chintzes,
silks, woolens, and fine
muslins. The elegant suit of
the Statesman consisted of
coat, knee breeches, and
vest. On his feet the
statesman wore square-toed
shoes with buckles. Buttons .
were put on pockets to pre-
' vent pickpocketing but soon
became only decorative. A
walking stick was a frequent
. accessory. ';,
- The frontier man led an
outdoor life. He wore clothes
of fabric of heavy linen,
' linsey-woolsey that were
often homemade. Shirt,
breeches, tri-cornered hat
and boots were his attire,
men often wrapped their,
legs in skins, leather, or
' even rags before pulling on
'The working dress for the
, pioneer woman was a one
piece dress, shawl, apron ,
and "mob cap." For "Sun
day Best" she sometimes
had a "fancy" dress but it
.-, was expected to- last her a
lifetime. She did all within'
her means to be attractive
"by venturing into natural
dying achieving colors from
dark brown to greens to
bright yellow using red cab
' bage, rhododendrow leaves
I 'or marigold flowers.
' Homespun fabrics had a uni
que warmth and beauty.
;, i Hopsacking or textured
.4 wovens with nubs and slabs
are appropriate selection

Manages Shoshone
River Power, Inc.
( EDITOR'S NOTE: The following article is reprinted
here from the August, 1975 edition of The Wyoming Rural
Electric News for our readers' interest.)
Jim Umphlett, manager of Shoshone River Power, Inc.,
at Cody started out in life a considerate stretch from
Wyoming in Hertford, N.C. He'll be quick to remind you
Hertford is also home grounds of "Catfish" Hunter, the New
York Yankees multi-million dollar pitcher.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Umphlett of Rt. 3, Hertford,
Jim and his wife Betty have a family of six boys, ranging in
ages from eight to 21. And here is reasonable explanation
for one of Jim's extracurricular activities Little League
baseball. He's spent a lot of after-work hours with the boys,
but, he says, "This year we have a girl, and she seems to be
doing as well as the boys."
Jim has put in years as president, vice-president and
coach of the Little League program. He also serves as
deacon, clerk and Sunday School teacher.
After graduating from Perquimans High School and a
year of college, Jim spent the following year in the Air
Force, and then a year at a Virginia bank. Then came the
move to Cody, of which Betty is a native. In June of 1954,
Jim hired on with Shoshone River as a bookkeeper. He was
named manager in 1963.
Shoshone River Power was incorporated in 1942. It was
difficult for the cooperative to get off the ground the start
of World War II and the subsequent difficulty in getting
materials meant construction didn't get underway untjl the
spring of 1944. Energizing of the first section took place in
August with service to 100 consumers through 85 miles of
line. Today, Shoshone has increased to 530 miles of line and
975 meters.
