(SMOKY MOUNTAIN COUNTRY by North Callahan, non-fiction, pub- lished by Duell, Slaon and Pearce, New York City, 257 pages.) The Smoky mountain country has long been one of the most col- orful sections of the United States. Beginning at the Kentucky-Vir- ginia state line, it stretches in re- ality through eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina to the north border of Georgia. Yet its folkways and its music have pene- trated into the comic strips and the juke boxes in every corner of the land, as well as into the better music and legend of the country. North Callahan’s comprehensive book begins with the historical background of the section and then moves into chapters five through eight, which include some of the most intriguing information about the place. Some of the divisions have such titles as mountain super- stitions, ham and tobacco, mount- ain music, the white spirituals, grand ole opry and the legend of Maggie. In the section on superstitions the book explains how the white settlers who came to the region caught some of the mysticism of the Indians. The author says some of the strange beliefs have mean- ing only to the oldest residents “who sit on their cabin porches and tell you of them while they look at the distant mountaintops with a far away expression in their eyes. Others are still believed in and even practised by the younger peo- tree and put it in corn whiskey and drink it. . . warts may be removed by rubbing each wart with a bean split open, and burying the bean halves under the drip of the house for seven days. . .” It was around 1925 when the mod- ern upswing of interest in hill- billy-songs began. Today the songs , of the southern mountaineers “‘are considered by many authorities to be the only true folk music ever | produced by the white men in this country.” Some of the songs of the British pioneers like Barbara Allen, retained their original from. Others were changed anc modified by the new country. They began to tell of triais and struggles in the constant fight with the wilderness. The stillness and solitude of the hills and valleys en- gendered ballads known as “‘lone- some tunes.” Mr. Callahan says overtones and suggestions of na- ture’s chorus appeared the whis- pering night-sounds of autumn, the dropping of leaves, cries of the wild beasts, war whoops of the In- dians, the sweet lonesome songs of the birds, the rush of springs, bran- | ches, creeks, rivers. And the music was the center of all gathering. ... at the new ground clearings, house raisings, corn shuckings, apple peelings, molasses stir-offs, and quiltings. ” The last 70 pages of the book include descriptions of recent in- trusions into the Smoky mountan country, the CCC, Kefauver and the atom bomb. Typhoon Strikes Wake Island HONOLULU (?—A typhoon with winds of 140 miles an hour yester- day smashed buildings on tiny Wake Island, a mid-Pacifie air base 2,300 miles west of here Regular communications with the isolated island with a popula- tion of 600 were cut off. But a maintenance man, using a ground- ed plane’s radio, established brief contact with Honolulu and said the Pan-American Hotel and several maintenance shacks were flatten- ed. There were no reports of cas- ualties. The Civil Aeronautics Adminis- tration in Honolulu said all per- sonnel on the island had taken re- fuge in three concrete buildings— the only structures capable of with- standing the tremendous winds. jas a “compromising situation” | were charged with disorderly con- {duct and another mote detailed charge. The couple were arrested in a car parked on Whitehead St., near the Silver Dollar Bar. Bond for each party was set at $150. A thorough checking of the city ordinance code book under “Of- fenses-Miscellaneous,”’ brought con- jecture as to just what ordinance was being violated. The case is ex- pected to come up in Municipal court today, although bond will probably be forfeited by the woman in the case. The charge states that the of- fense took place on a public street. | However, the violation does not come under ‘Zoning’, although zoning applies to such diversified activities as piano tuning, divine healing and miniature golf. The code book lists one offense as drunk and disorderly conduct; but the charge against the two persons involved in this instance does not state anything about being intoxicated. Other relative offenses which might come under the scope of the case: indecent exposure; dis- turbing the peace; disorderly or troublesome proceedings on main streets, squares or any other public place, and indecent performances. | Legion Guard Of Honor To Make Marathon Trek Plans for the participation of the Key West Guard of Honor in the installation ceremonies to be held at Marathon on Saturday eve- ning were completed at the meet- ing hei Monday evening. 10th dis- trict committeeman Frank Roma- guera will be the installing officer assisted by the Honor Guard.
