READERS INTERESTED IN
OLD CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL

To The Editor:
In the January issue of your
paper l read the most interesting
articles on the observance of Old
Christmas. However I was not the
only one interested in it, as l sat
in the ready room reading the
Times, one of my crew mates
noticed it and Immediately cut out
articles and sent the clippings
home. 1t seems as though he
thought it was odd that they cele-
brated it then. l would appreciate
it very much if you could send
me some literature on it. My
friend A/3c Harold Robbins of
Walpole, New Hampshire ex-
presses his wishes for some more
pictures of the celebration and he
would also like to hear more of the
history of the ship wrecks on our
coast. Thanks a lot for the most
interesting articles.

help him?

T HE P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

Boards out of sawdust-
wouldn't that amaze the men
whose problem at the Interstate
Cooperage Company mill was the
disposal of sawdust. AS l listened
to DR.. Bryant tell of the product
which his corporation plans to
produce on the old mill site, my
thoughts flashed back to a famil-
lar sight of my childhood-the
burning sawdust pile. Once
more, in memory, l rode to the
mill after supper with my father
to see if the sparks from the pile
were flying too high or in the
wrong direction. Once more l felt
the terror that struck the member
of every mill family at the sound
of the mill whistle blowing in
short, staccato blasts in the middle
of the night.
Fire did strike number of
times in the history of the Inter
state Cooperage Company; yet it
was not fire, but progress, that
finally spelled the doom of the
plants here and in several other
localities. The advent of oil tank
ers destroyed the demand for the
barrel slaves manufactured in
those plants and changed the lives
of people and towns.
They would have turned in their
graves could they have heard DR..
Bryant's description of the condi-
ton of the mill property at pres
ent-those men whose pride it
was to keep it in good condition.
Many Negroes who were employ
ees of the old mill were in the
audience-their thoughts must
have turned back, too. AS he
talked, memory after memory
crowded in: of the whistle which
governed the days activities and
made clocks almost Unnecessary; of
the night when a mules foot be-
came entangled in the whistle cord
and the whole town sped to the
fire that wasn't; of Taylor, the
courtly Negro, who drove first, the
company surrey and later, the
company automobile; and was
much beloved by the children who
occasionally got ride! of the
little pegs that were waste
product of the barrel slaves and
made excellent play cigarettes. l
remembered, too, the day when,
eight years old, I walked down the
street for the first time in the
little Louisiana town to which my
father had been transferred. A
man, whom I later came to know
as the biggest tease in town, stop
ped me with the remark, $50
you're the little girl whose father
drives the sawdust cart at the
mill" And I, who had been taught
from the cradle to be polite to my
elders, regardless of what ridicu-
lous things they might say, drew
myself up in righteous indigna-
ton and retorted, That's story.
My daddy is the Manager" No
daughter in the White House ever
| stated her fathers position with
more pride; for in my limited
world there just wasn't anything
bigger or more important than the
Interstate Cooperage Company
and no man more important than
my daddy.
There are many others whose
lives were closely bound with that
Of the mill and who think with
nostalgia of the days when the
sound of the whistle was as newt
able. as the rising and setting of
the sun. Perhaps the whistle
won't blow again, or won't sound
the same if it does; but the know
ledge that the property is being
cleaned up and that there will be
activity there once more brings a

Weather QUirk Brings
State Moisture From
Down Mexico Way

GREAT FALLS You've
probably wondered, too, why
Great Falls and most portions
of eastern and central Montana
have been enjoying" weather
which is more applicable to the
West Coast.
The district U. S. Weather Bur
eau at Gore Field said Monday
that moist air from the Gulf OF
Mexico - in a decidedly strange
maneuver - for the last week
or more has been coming north
through Nebraska, west into the
Dakotas and covering most of
Montana. Even the weathermen
concede it is an unusual circum'
stance.
Temperatures for the last two
days of June and thus far in
July have been below normal
they said, while precipitation has
been above. For the 13-day peri
cd there have been 1.20 inches
of precipitation here, as compar
ed with the normal of SIS and
.49 last year.
