THE cracker barrel and the
IL pot-bellied stove were the
trademarks of the country
store, although to the store
keeper, they were necessities.
They were necessities, too,
to an era of American life Of
which only the fringes are
left-the unorganized gather
ing of the adult community to
learn what was new and to
express opinion about it.
Thus the country store. less
and less in evidence today
as the supermarketS and de-
livery route trucks take in an
ever-expanding area, cared
for both the body and the
mind. For the body, it pro-
vided food, necessary cloth
ing-or the material to make
it--and patent medicines.
For the mind, 1t provided, in
addition to the nightly talks

VANISHING

The Country Store
zone OF q Series
BY Jack JonaS

from a huge vat, coffee and
beans were scooped from bins,
and flour and potatoes were
available in SO and 100 pound
sacks. There were fresh
fruits and vegetables only in
season. and the purchase of
one orange was an event.
The grocer poured seed from
glass jars, sliced cheese from
big slabs beneath tin or glass
cheese bells, sold eggs he had
taken in trade the same morn
ing, parceled out sugar by the
nickel'S worth, knew all his
customers by name and, when
the weekly bill was paid,
handed out sacks of candy to
the youngsters in the family.
The candy case held jaw
breakers, licorice sticks and
peppermint sticks. Boots and
shoes hung suspended from
pegs or nails on the wall.
There usually was a feed room
at the back, and a wide porch
at the front, which often was
a continuation of the side
walk. A special section some
times was set aside for the
village post office, and the
storekeeper sold stamps.
The smell Of new shoe
leather mingled with the
pungent aroma of old cheese.
The air was spiced with the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-09-04

smell of tobacco and coffee,
and the briny odor of pickles.
On occasion, the fresh green
smell of newly plucked corn
or the musty odor of meal and
buckwheat flour was added.
In the country store were
born such terms as Cracker
barrel philosophy" from the
homespun remarks around the
stove, and getting down to
brass tackS::" The latter re-
ferred to brass tacks spaced
along an edge of the wooden
counter and used to measure
yard goods. Customers sus-
picious of the grocer's guess

about what made a yard
although it usually was a
pretty good guess-would urge
him to get it down to the
brass tackS."
Nostalgia for the country
store has made many Of its
items readily salable in to-
days antique stores. Coffee
bins, old balance scales, cheese
bells, coffee grinders and seed
jars bring fancy prices. But
the rise of packaging and
mass distribution have
changed the character of the
country store, and few of the
old-timers are left.

Maryland lntegrotion
Up to Superintendents

BALTIMORE, June 3 R.-
Maryland's county school super
intendents have been given the
job of overseeing the demise of
racial segregation in the State s
public schools.
DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, jr..
State superintendent Of schools,
told the county superintendents
yesterday that desegregation will
probably take longer in some
counties because of local prob
lens.
County and State school Off
cials met here to discuss admin
istrative' and legal questions
raised by last Tuesdays Supreme
Court ruling implementing its
ban on racial segregation in the
schools.
DR.. Pullen said he had received
the impression from a confer
ence with Maryland Attorney
General c. Ferdinand Sybert
that Federal and, in some cases.
State courts would determine
whether county officials we're
making the prompt and reason
able" start toward desegregation
required by the ruling.
None of the county superin-
tendents said when integration
of white and Negro pupils in his
schools would be effected.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Man Of the House at Il
Has No Time for Play

The kids at school and around
the neighborhood call him Pop.
Henry is IL. Since his father
died, he has been the man OF the
house at home. The other kids
mind what he tells them.
Home is three rooms presenting,
a delapidated, painless wood ex-
terror in q nearby county, where
Henry and his mother and four
sisters live.
Henry cuts the wood for the
stove-mostly from crates and
other scraps. He hauls water
from the spring UP the hillside.
He has a vegetable garden, too.
This year. string beans, salad
greens and tomatoes are planted.
Last year, he raised tomatoes.
onions and cucumbers for the
family table. The garden Is
fenced off with lengths of string
in the back yard.
Besides his outside chores,
Henry takes his turn with the
dishes.
Mrs. Pickett works four days
a week in private homes. She
leaves at $50 o'clock in the
mornings, so the kids have to
get themselves off to school. She
gets home at 5 pm.
Until this year she used to
take Rose, 6. the youngest girl.
with her to work. since there
was no one to take care of the
child. Now Rose is in school.
When she is home Mrs. Peck
EFT lets the kids help with the
washing. But when she is away |
she fears for them to do it be-
cause OF the danger of getting a
hand In the wringer.
Jennie, 13, goes to Junior high |
school. The others go to ele- !
mentary school. Beulah, IL, is
the smartest. She likes to read, |
but there isn't much. except her
school books and some borrowed
old Readers Digests. |

Last year when Mary, 10;
Beulah and Jennie went to sum-
mer camp. Henry had a skin
rash and couldn't go. This year
he could go. along with Mary
and Beulah. Jennie is above

young.
You can give Pop and his sis
ters q vacation at camp this
year. The Evening Star Sum-

have been changed to protect

BOTTLED IN ATTIC
73 YEARS, BOATS
NEAR A BREAKUP

FREDERICKSBURG. Va.
R.-You've seen miniature
boats in bottles. Now here's
one about a boat in an attic.
It's a 27-foot craft built 73
years ago by William K.
Howard. then 90. who lived
at Kenmore. near here. in q
home that once was the resi-
dence of George Washing
tons sister. Mrs. Fielding
Lewis. and is now a shrine.
When he finished the boat,
Mr.. Howard found he could
not get it through the 81
by-25-inch attic window and
his mother wouldn't let him
make the opening larger.
So all these years the boat
has been gathering dust in
the attic. Now. Robert
Flick director of Kenmore,
thinks a house cleaning is
in order. But before break
ing up the boat he'll contact
Mr.. Howard's descendants to
see If they're interested in
the craft for sentiments
sake.
