PAGE TWO GLIMPSES OF THE PAST By CAROLYN LLOYD H ? “Aw, you’re crazy with the heat,” used to be one of the favor ite childhood expressions. It had nothing to do with the weather, but was considered brilliant ever, that expression has taken repartee. In the past week, how on new meaning to me, as I have certainly been doing things not ex actly normal. There are those who other reason for such behavior might suggest that there is an but it is more comforting to blame the weather. For instance, today I found myself with a box of Tide poised over the sifter getting ready to “flour” chicken for fry ing. That might be good advertis ing for Tide, but it would make mighty poor seasoning for chicken. At that I was luckier than a friend who some years ago pre pared salmon croquettes with soap flakes and didn’t discover her mis take until her husband noticed a flavor definitely not associated with salmon. Whether it is the heat or that other reason that some friends (?) might suggest, my brain doesn’t seem to be functioning even as well as usual, so I shall ask your indulgence for a few rai .bling comments with no connection whatsoever This afternoon 1 was again re minded of the swift passage of years. I sat looking at a beautiful bride and her attendants, and it seemed only yesterday that I had looked at them from behind my desk as they sat in the classroom giggling their sweet little heads off at nothing. They were lovely to look at this afternoon and they weren’t giggling, which made them seem a little like strangers. As a matter of fact, I remember when each of them was born, and that seems like only yesterday, too. The bride, Lucy Bishop, used to be called in and teased to recite when the crowd gathered at her parents’ house. Heavens’ maybe it isn’t the heat after all. It was the heat, though, that made me decide earlier in the week that this column isn’t worth the effort, that probably nobody reads it anyhow, and I just wouldn’t write one. And then it happened again—there cam ea kind word that lifted me out of the doldrums and made it seem worthwhile to try again. First a letter came from Evelyn Tolan in Boston saying that the “Pilot” and this column form a link with home and the past. Then Walt Zachowski, once a next-door neighbor and now of Beaufort, S. C.; The- Carly* Ways of Macon, Ga., and Flor ence Way Cowan, of Washing ton, D. C., were kind enough to say that they are weekly readers. Now I know perfectly well that I am no Nell Battle Lewis or Earl Wilson and I am humbly grateful for all words of encouragement for my amateur ef forts. One thing is, though, if I should let praise go to my head and be gin to think myself smarter than I am, there are those who will keep me in my place. However, it is comforting to reflect that they wouldn’t catch my errors if they didn’t read my column. Enough of this rambling. Per haps it will be cooler next week and some perfectly brilliant in spiration will come—but don’t count on it. ® •' SUMMER FERRY SCHEDULES Effective June 1 Through Sept. 30, 1955 CROATAN SOUND FERRY Lv.
