By SILER Life, you know, is full of true and interesting stories. As people tell me stories, I try to listen. Then sometimes I repeat a few of them.

For instance, here's a story about Mrs. Lula Siler. She is a widow liv- ing on Mud Creek. This good wom- an married my cousin. They had ejght children, one of whom now lives in the big city of Columbus, Ohio.

Well, Lula decided to visit her daughter in Columbus. Her visit was to last six months before she was due to come back to the solitary beauty of Mud Creek with its high mountain range running near the Tennessee line. But Lula only stay- ed six days and then came back home. Mrs. Maggie Bowman, the only professional woman painter in our whole county, is also one of Lula's daughters.

Maggie was glad to see her mother return home, but she was curious to know what caused her to return five months and twen- ty-four days ahead of schedule. Lula explained everything. "You see, Maggie, when you wake up in Co- lumbus in the morning, you can't hear the roosters crowing. And all day long you never sec one cow or hear one bawling. Besides, you hear a hen cackle on the As I See It To The Editor: The Bell-Whilley Community Ac- tion Agency is proceeding with its plans to erect a Log Cabin Arts and Crafts Store on US 25E between Pineville and Middlesboro.

To be named "Between the Parks" Craft Store, it will provide a market for locally a hand work and will stimulate the growth of small work shop industries. The CAA, through funds from the United States Office of Econo- mic Opportunity, will provide man- agement and production assistance. We will also provide working capi- tal for the purchase of crafts. How- ever, the local community is re- quested to provide the cost of the building. We have already received a dona- tion of logs from Mr.

Charles Bean, First State Bank, Pineville and a pledge of welding service from Kir- by Koal Kar Co. of Middlesboro. We will use Mainstream men for most of the labor. We are still in need of many additional items, most, of which would have to be pur- chased. Donations of cash may be sent to the Bell-Whilley Frakes, Ky.

40940. Material contri- butions such as cement, lumber, roofing, nails, wiring, fixtures, etc. may be donated by contacting Mr. Warren Hale, Manpower or, 112 Cherry Pineville, Ky. 337-5640.

In order to make this project a success and a benefit to the Bell- Whitley area, we must all work to- gether. The U.S. government has been pulling S35 million a year in- to these two counties in the form of agricultural aid, small business loans and so on. We should be will- ing to show lhat we care enough about our own area to make an ef- fort to increase jobs and income. A A.

A Executive Director place. Now that's not my idea of real living. I just felt I had to come back home to see about the chick- ens and livestock and hear, a farm music I'd been use to hearing all my life." A blue ribbon award should be given to Lula by President Nixon, because she has proved that there's no place like home and that the roosters' morning call is sweeter than a jazz band. Here's another true tale. Dewey Witt lived out near Sutton's Cross- ing, named for Raymond Sutton's grandfather.

Dewey was a big, curly headed blond boy when I knew him. His cousin, Ambrose Witt from Mor- ley, told me just the other day about an incident when a big carni- val a to town and set up its tents across from the Joe Lovett Store. One carnival feature was that of a woman wrestler who offer a two dollar prize to any man who could throw her. Several tried and failed. Then Dewey Witt said to his cousin, Ambrose, "I'll be doggone if I can't throw her.

Them other fellers didn't know how to handle her, but I i I know." Well, Dewey got in the ring i the woman and was able to pin her to the mat. He won two dollars and became a local hero for a time at least. I never did hear whether Dewey could handle his own wife as well as be did that wrestler, but chances are he wore the pants In his own home following that Inci- dent. And here's another tine tale. Beulan Cheely, who used to live at Packard, was once over at Verne to see about some timber.

And he was there, Patterson Creek became swollen after a long, heavy rain. Beulan had to stay all night at a home near the creek. The rain kept up ihe next day so that he stayed in i home a couple of days. Their food was a little short. It was mostly fatback and corn- bread and this became monotonous.

Beulan noticed beans in the shell hanging from rafters up in the loft of the house. He said, "What kind of beans are those hanging up there?" The woman of the house said, "They are leather britches." Beulan said, "Well, let's try some leather britches." She cooked the leather britches beans and they were real good. The monotony was broken and the diet improved great- ly. Probably only one person in a hundred ever heard of leather britches beans. But if you want to know more about them, you might write Beulan Cheely, Crystal River, Florida.

He has become" a wealthy business man down there, but no doubt he will never forget the leath- er britches beans be ate at Verne many years ago while waiting for the creek to go down. Life is full of true and interesting stories a roosters crowing, women wrestling and people eating leather britches beans. I like to lis- ten to all these tales and then re- pent a few of them when I have a chance. What tales you do hear out (Continued From Kagt Automobile horns blared. With their hands placed over their hearts, the astronauts lis- tened, with all the others, to the U.S.

Army Band playing the na- tional anthem. Terence Cardinal Cooke, Ro- ma Catholic archbishop of New York, prayed: "Oh Lord of the universe we thank You for the safe return of these three coura- geous men who went to the moon for peace for all man- kind." Arch Of Triumph The ladders from two aerial fire trucks formed an arch of triumph near City Hall, and on it was draped a banner with the words "Welcome Astronauts" and a picture of a huge bald ea- gle, its wings spread, touching down to the moon. Lindsay gave the astronauts the gold medals of the City of New York, hanging the medal and ribbon first around Arm- strong's neck. "On behalf of the thousands of people the Apollo program across this country," Armstrong said, "it is a privilege for me to acceptt he medal. "Even Wall Street was warm today," he said, "after a couple of chilly months." Collins, who looked down on the earth while waiting for Arm- strong and Aldrin to return from the lunar surface, said to the audience: "It is nice to see you in your nstive habitat." Young And Freih Aldrin; then said "Never be- fore in my life have I been so moved by the welcome from the bottom of your hearts it is rather for us to be congratulat- ing you for your support."

Pageantry Millions of Americans who -can't be there personally will watch the welcome on televi- sion, just as they watched en- thralled as Armstrong and Aid- rin walked the surface of the moon. All three major networks will cover the pageantry in the three cities. As Armstrong, Collins and Alclrin receive the transconti- nental homage of American throngs, they will do so with the knowledge that the lunar land- ing which made them heroes a within second of being called off. At the Houston news confer- ence, attended by about 1,000 persons, Armstrong revealed that as the lunar module Eagle neared touchdown on the moon "we realized we had a possible abort situation to contend with." In guiding the module away from' a boulder strewn crater, Armstrong said, precious fuel was consumed until there was only "15 or 20 seconds of fuel left." Had the fuel fallen below a prescribed limit, the moon landing would have been can- celled. Other highlights of the newi conference: Aldrln: "We found our moblll- ty on the surface better than we had anticipated.

We found that a standard loping technique, one foot in front of the other, was the best way to get around. Kangaroo fashion, two feet at a time, also worked but not as easily It was one of my proudest moments to help plant the flag and to stand back and give it a quick salute." Too Little Time Armstrong: "The primary dif- ficulty on the moon was there was too little time to do the tilings we wanted to do We had the problems of a 5-year-old boy in a candy store. There were just too many tilings to Ao." And the man who orbited the moon in the command module while his companions landed, Collins: "Tha moon changes Heavy Enemy Attacks Drop Off Again (Continued From Page 11 Hie French on Aug. 18. 1945, and day makes this old sophistical- number of enemv dead 8t more Ho Proclamation of independ- nay mohcs mis om, sopmsucac- ie i.t...
