MOUNTAIN DEW

Centrlbatloiu Welcome, Bepdntliiis Invited

Bigamist—m£in who has one too many.

Jim quit his job account of ill-ness— boss got sick of him.

"Fishing and poker lead in men's sports'—a bunch of liars and bluffers. ~

Ran across a well-educated man last week. He was schooled in the college of Hard Knocks, majored in nuift and has a degree, C S. (common sense).

I had six honest serving men They taught me all they knew. Their names are What and Why

and When And How and Where and Who.

A mountain chap tells me he needs a new car but has not put in an order because he hears talk of such wonderful vehicles next year. He is going to wait for a new model.

I know how he feels. The same argument holds for new houses, new radio sets, new electrical ap-pliances. I hope the new models year by year are always better. It is a temptation to hold off and hold off. Meantime we grow older and miss the. fun and recrea-tion of the'vehicle or instrument we desire. There is little fun in counting the money. My thoiight is to get the best there is at the time it is needed and not spend years struggling along without it Let's have pleasurs in 1948 and not in dreams of 1960.

County Girls Win Honors Three blue ribbon awards of

excellence Were won by three Delai ware county 4-H girls who won the right to represent Delaware coun-ty at the state homemaking demr onstration contest at Ithac^ Thursday, . when they took top honors in Delaware coimty home making demonstration contests.

Bernice and Beatrice Chichester, 17-year-old twin daughters of Mr and Mrs. Guy Chichester of South Kortright> were awarded their excellent certificate for the dem-onstration entitled, '*Roll It Up. In this 20-minute demonstration the girls made a batch of yeast dough, and showed the shaping of eight different types of fancy rolls.

Gloria Gladstone modeled a basic dress, and showed 12 ways of vary-ing. the style and Vlooks" of the dress by the use of various sets of accessories. Gloria is the 15-year-old daughter of Mr> and Mrs Walter Gladstone of Andes.

Beverly Bryden, 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Bryden of Hamden, demonstrated the steps in getting ready for and actually caning a chair. The girls weite accompanied by Mrs. Edna Gladstone, Mrs. Madeline Sanford, Mrs. Ivan Bryden and Mrs. Don-ald Whiteman, associate county 4rH club agent.

Frank Crawford found a healthy chestnut tree this week on the Mirski property west of the village which yvas six inches in diameter. Gn the ground there was a bushel of last fall's burrs, unopened. He split them apart and found well meated nuts.

* * *

I am puzzled why red and grey squirrels, of which we have many, did not open the nuts. Is it pos sible the present generation of squirrels does not have chestnut instincts? Previous to a genera-tion ago there was no more com-mon tree in local woods than chestnut. When a dread blight struck several years passed before all the trees died. Some yet stand gaunt, naked skeletons in the woods. The greatest use of chest-nut from a practical standpoint was for fence posts. The wood does not decay when placed in the ground. The greatest use from an unpractical standpoint was the fun boys enjoyed all fall gathering the sweet nuts for home consump-tion during the winter or for a bit of pin money. At stores a large tin cup full sold for a nickel.

Mutilated young chucks strew the highways. There is seldom seen the carcass of an old one. Dumb as they are, woodchucks wise up. Ask an enthusiastic .22 long rifleman how difficult it is to fool one of 'em. A car drives along the highway and a chuck placidly eats grass not far over in the field. But stop the car and watch Mr. Chuck disappear. Con-siderable maneuvering is required on the part of a rifleman to get within gun shot.

• * * * Other hapless creatures of the

wild slaughtered by the cars are skunks and rabbits. The skunk is wise but believes all which moves fears him. He includes cars in this list. The bunnies, poor things, yoimg or old, they are too silly ever to leam. They jump and skip in the road. I presume they have never learned the car keeps in the road but fear it may climb up or down the bank so they skip and jump and are killed before their small bains can suggest a way. It is many years since I have killed a wdld creature with a car. I believe much of the road carnage could be overcome if drivers were so minded.

Yours truly. The Mountaineer
