Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER

You know, l feel encouraged.
Last week, l commented that
felt our churches should work
more closely together. Quite often
it Just takes a little better under
standing of the other folks. l am
reminded of the old Seminole
prayer which our Cub scouts use:
Teach me, Great Spirit, to not
Judge my brother until / have
walked one mile in bis moe
casins." There is a lot of truth
in this, l should say.
On Friday evening, several of
the churches of Caldwell are
getting together for prayer in
observance of World Day of
Prayer. Here is good evidence
that the churches are working
together. This is primarily a
woman's service, but everyone is
invited to share in this rich ex-
perience.
Monday evening, the families
of the Cub scouts had a good time
of fellowship at the annual BAN
quet at the Church of Christ.
There was an excellent attend
ance considering basketball tour
nament, sickness etc. Mrs. Yontz
and l had a good time with the
Cubs decorating and making
preparations.
In the event that notice does
not get into the paper about a
called Town and Country Coun-
Gil meeting, l did want to say that
the vice president, P. D. Can
navan, has called a meeting for
Thursday evening, February rs
at 7:30. All the organizations will
be getting cards from me. We
are working on county calendar
which will be published regular
ly in the Journal.
From comments | have heard
around the county, it appears that
we are going to have a good at
tendance at the Rural Life Instl-
tute; also the Youth Rally in the
evening. Our panel members are
lined up representing different
churches. We should have an
other rich experience on March

Gaming ChairS-We didn't raise

chairs. This is the same type of
Gaming that was taught last year
the "open" type. Belle Valley
women were there almost in full
force. Each homemaker who
brought a chair also brought a
helper from this group. "Team-

In this case Weisent and
Beeb filed a civil action in the
court of Probate Judge, Otto
Polling, then q Justice of the
Peace of Enoch township. Hear
ing was had and the Judge ruled
in favor of the old fiddlers and
we received our money.
The old timers went to Wash
ington county one evening to play
for a dance. Four, on horse back
and fiddles strapped over their
shoulders. On their way an ar
gument came up as to who could
do the better job Of playing the
tune, "A half-mile out of Town
and Pretty Well Hooked. The
four fiddlers dismounted, tied
their horses to posts along the
road and proceeded to settle the
matter.
You must remember, and it IS
true. that a severe rain storm
was on at the time and two of the
fiddlers acted as judges and two
took their fiddles out of their
cases in the rain, ana competed IN
the contest. 1t is my belief that
Bill PARCEL won the contest, and
they mounted thenr horses and
played for the dance that night.
Everything went well.
Again, Beeb and Weisent hired
a two horse outfit from Miller &
Blake, Dexter City, for q wedding
near Rado, plenty of mud and we
got there late, other fiddlers
there so we lost our job. We went
on to Fulda, put on dance Of
our own, the whole neighborhood
came and the collection was
twenty-fou dollars, the most we
ever received for 4 single appear
ance.
Now, the old timers play most
ly in c natural, one sharp c., two
sharps D, and three sharps, A. |
have played in one, two and
three flats and George Hupp,
now deceased, played in flats and
l have been with him. still have
my old Hoff fiddle, but it has
been in the case for many
months. | value it at $3.50.
The old fiddlers still say they
wish to leave speaking TO every
body.

"Cromer Webber was an excel
lent guitar man, and could handle
trap drums very well.
Cromer and Beeb took on a
square dance job on Shimps Run,
got through, with it nicely, but
we had q very steep hill to pull
to get out of there. We had light
open car, and the gas quit on us
on the steep part of the hill.
Cromer said, "Beeb you hold your
foot on the brake and / will put
a stone behind it"
Beeb's foot slipped and back
she went against tree and over
a steep bank. There we were very
late at night. Our best bet was
to see Ambrose Noll, and we went
to his home and he said for us
to come in and he would take
care of US in the morning. We
went to bed.
Ambrose got us out early in
the morning, gave US our break
fast, and proceeded to harness
his team, and away we went to
the car. Ambrose pulled the car
to level ground and Cromer
started the motor.
We asked how much our bill
was and Ambrose replied, "Sussee
no charge" He surely was kind
to the boys. We arrived home
early.
Again, Weisent and Beeb took
on wedding job near Carlisle,
large hall, and large crowd and a
large collection in money. The
new husband approached Beeb
for settlement of our claim, his
offer seemed trivial and | turn
ed the case over to Weisent
Some small argument ensued, as
Weisent insisted the old fiddlerS
were entitled to the collection at
a wedding. We received no
money and went to the home Of
one of Weisent's relatives, by re-
quest, had a lunch but do not
remember Of sitting on a sixteen
gallon keg of beer there.

. The Korean War, niomentarily
showed aside by the Inauguration

in the news with the report of an
attack by u. S. soldiers that fail

1t brought to mind the unan-
sWered question of President
EisenhoWer's plans for Korea.
The Korean deadlock is again
the No. l item on the administra-

The first move, perhaps, is
EisenhoWer's decision to remove
the US. Fleet from the Formosa

Nationalists to attack the main

SHORT CHANGE"

1t used to be in times long past
Yes forty years ago.
When boys were boys until eighteen
And then to men did grow.
1t happened overnight it seemed
Twas easy to tell when
The first long pants to grace their legs
Changed all the boys to men.
To put them and sally forth
To meet each jibe and pun,
Took courage of the nth degree
And wasn't any fun.
You slithered down the aleywayS
You hoped to be unseen
And felt so goofy in long pants.
So awkward like and green.
When you discarded knicker pants
That bagged down at the knees.
You felt so strange and different
Like you had a disease
Like you were left without friend
TO walk this world alone
TO break the news to everyone
That you were now full grown.
No one can know the awfulness
No one could this way feel
Unless they lived in this past age
And knew that it was real
To sense again as we all did
The stares of peoples eyes
It's better far the way now done
Start longleS when small guys.
