GLIMPSES
OF
THE PAST
I By CAROLYN LLOYD
The wonderful news of Salk
vaccine brought to mind the one
victim of polio whom I knew in
my childhood. His name was Chris
and he had had what was then
called “infantile paralysis” many
years before I first knew him. He
wore a heavy brace on his right
leg and walking was difficult for
him so Chris got around on the
back of a tough little cow pony
(so called because the breed was
best for herding cows to the dip
ping vat) He tore up and down
the street on that pony in the
same manner that hot rodders
bum up the streets today, and his
elders shook their heads and mur
mured “That boy is going to kill
himself yet.”
Chris was in my grade at school,
though he was several years older
than anyone else in the room. As
children will, we took it for grant
ed that his advanced age meant
that he was cripplel in mind as
well as in body. Chris must have
realized our attitude, and it is a
wonder that he stayed in school at
all after having missed so much
of his early years. It was seldom,
however, that his good nature
deserted him, and I suspect now
that he. often played the fool just
to entertain us.
My ’ most vivid memory of
Chris comes with that of an occur
ence when we were in the seventh
grade. It was a day like any other
in our crowded classroom until
of smoke sent us all rushing in
panic to the hallway. All, that is,
the shout of “Fire” and the smell
except Chris. He jumped head
first out the window and landed
in a coal pile. The small fire in
the basement of the building was
soon put out, and we returned to
the classroom, keyed up with the
excitement of it all. Chris, though,
had to be taken to a doctor to have
the coal picked out of the gashes
on his head and some stitches
taken. To the rest of the class it
was screamingly funny that Chris
had jumped out of the window in
to the coal pile just because there
was a little old fire in the base
ment. Looking back, I know why
he did. He must have been thrown
into a panic at the thought of be
ing trapped in the mad rush for
the doorway, he who could barely
walk and could never hope to run.
Chris did drop out of school
some time duriing our high school
days, and it has been many years
since I have seen him, or even
thought of him. However, as I
listened to the radio reports on
the Salk vaccine, I could see him
as plainly as though we were back
in the seventh grade. I hope that
he is still living and that he heard
the reports. If so, he surely must
have looked down at the leg with
the heavy braces and breathed a
prayer of thanks that many boys
will now be spared the mental and
physical suffering that he has
known.
ENGELHARD SOLDIER WITH
25th INFANTRY IN HAWAII
Hawaii.—Army Pvt. Joseph B.
Cahoon, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Closs E. Cahoon, Route 1, Engel
hard, recently arrived in Hawaii
and is now a m mber of the 25th
Infantry Division.

“Tropic Lightning” division, en

He was graduated from the
Engelhard High School.
PAINTING CLASSES BY
NORTH CAROLINA ARTIST
Manteo.—Jim Pace, well-known
North Carolina artist, announced
today that he plans to conduct
watercolor classes here from July
1 to July 30.
There will be separate sessions
daily ,for beginners and advanced
students with field trips twice
weekly to picturesque poiints
along the Outer Banks from the
sand dunes of Kitty Hawk to the
shrimp boats at Hatteras. Further
information about the classes may
be obtained by writing to Mr. Pace
at Manteo, North Carolina.
Pace, whose parents live in Dur
ham, has had a wide practical ex
perience in many phases of crea
tive art, and has operated a design
studio in Chicago for the last
three years. He has studied at
numerous schools, including the
University of North Carolina and
the Art Students League of New
York. He is a graduate of the Art
Institute of Chicago.
Upon the recommendation of
Eliot O’Hara, eminent watercolor
ist and teacher, Pace started
teaching painting for the Win
ston-Salem Arts and Crafts
Society in 1947. The summer of
1949 Was spent painting with the
late William Meade Prince at
Manteo.
Pace’s paintings now hang in
many North Carolina homes, and
his designs have been bought by
several museums. TIME Magazine
recently review his work.
After painting in Europe and
the West Indies, and in the United
States from Maine to California,
Pace feels that there is no better
place to paint than North Caro
lina’s own far-famed Outer Banks.

ning the purse offered the fastest
