GLASS ART WEST VIRGINIA 5 When our Executive Secretary, Mr. Aver, visited Blenko's shops in Milton, West Virginia last year, he was fascinated by the artistry in creative glass-making. That fascination resulted in this story, made possible by President Blenko who is justly proud of a business that rose from a beginning of near-failure to one of national recognition. (((Dean Warren Lambert))) In a little town in West Virginia an art that began with the Pyramids has found new vitality in modern American initiative and in the instinct for fine craftsmanship which is part of the heritage of the Appalachian people. The town is Milton; the art is the making of stained glass. The craftsmanship and initiative come from the Blenko Glass Company and its hundred-sixty employees, who have mastered this ancient skill and established it in the New World. The company's name comes from a man named William Blenko, a glassmaker in England who shipped glass to American artists. In 1893 he decided to start a glassmaking business here, and settled at Kokomo, Indiana, because of the natural gas available there. (Fuel for the furnaces is one of the greatest production costs.) In those days Blenko made glass exclusively for church windows and related uses. The artists in whose studios the windows were designed and assembled had a prejudice against native glass; they demanded the English-made product so tenaciously that Blenko's first efforts were unsuccessful. For awhile he sold glass back to England, finally he found that the only way he could get Americans to buy his product was to go back to Britain and ship it to them across the ocean. But America still called him. Five years later he came back, started in Point Marion, Pennsylvania, moved to Clarksburg, West Virginia, brought English glassmakers to work in his factory to please the finicky artists, who still demanded English skill. Even then it was no go. His son, William H. Blenko, who had joined him, went to another job in Chicago, and the plan again seemed abandoned. But enthusiasm was something Blenko never lost, whatever went against him. In 1922 he was seventy, but he had the courage to begin again. Milton, West Virginia was the site of his new effort; his 6 son came back to work with him, and for five years and the ensuing depression period they struggled in a business which seemed to hold no future. William Blenko, Sr. died in 1934, but he had lived to see the tide change. A large department store in Boston wanted handmade flower vases and tableware of skilled design. Previously this had come from Venice; the Boston store asked if Blenko would make it, and instead of the restricted field of making church windows, the company found opened to it a new, wider, and highly promising field. Since then the fame of Blenko glass has spread far and wide. Their tableware, fine vanes, beautiful art objects of stained glass of a wide variety are known all over America. Much of the glass in the windows of Washington Cathedral, the cathedrals of St. John the Divine and St. Patrick in New York City, the Harkness Library at Yale, the Chapel of Duke University, the new cathedral at Monterrey, Mexico, is Bienko, and the restoration of the glassware for Colonial Williamsburg was another of the company's outstanding achievements. Pliny quoted a legend that glass was discovered by the Phoenicians in Syria. Historians generally suppose that the honor belonged to the ancient Egyptians, and the process of glass-blowing is recorded on the walls of tombs dating to the XI dynasty, about 3000 13. C. It was not used for windows, in the general sense, until Roman times, and by early Arabians, who filled wall openings with lattices fitted in with brightly colored bits of glass. Gradually Venice came to I dominate the craft, which spread farther and farther into Europe, bound by the tradition that fine glass-blowing could only be handed down from father to son. The tradition Blenko disproved, for their workers have learned ,J the art on the job, from old, experienced glass-blowers to be sure, but without any limitations of close-guarded family secrets. If you visit the Blenko glassworks they will explain to you that actually what is usually called "stained glass" is no such thing. ~ ~r . 7 Oxide or chloride of silver painted on glass will, when fired, stain it, but the only color possible is a clear yellow. The tints in church windows and Blenko art pieces are colors in the glass itself, produced usually by adding various metallic oxides to the molten beginnings. The glass must be kept at a temperature of 2400° F for twentyfour hours, and then at 1900° F for another twelve. Skilled workers then take it, white hot and in liquid gobs, and, working in teams, by blowing and manipulating it at the end of a blowpipe, shape a bubble controlled by an applewood mold opened and closed around the glass as it develops. This may then be blown out into a curved cylinder, the ends cut off by flame, and annealed in a gas-fired oven named the "lehr." Then it is cut lengthwise, softened in a reheating furnace, and opened out into a flat sheet. Vases and the like begin the same way, and are shaped either by the centrifugal method or with applewood molds, being reheated several times in the process to keep them soft and workable, and guided as they take form with various special tools. And what does an industry like this, producing the finest sort of artwork both for public shrines and for private homes, known over the entire country, mean for the area around Milton? The effect can hardly be less than great, for the annual payroll, almost entirely to local employees, is over half a million dollars a year. And out of the town's population of fifteen hundred, one hundred and sixty are Blenko workers. Nor can one neglect the benefits of the chance to learn a fine skill which the company offers to the interested. Most of the workers are young, probably in the mid-thirties and under on the average. The company has hired people who came to it as it grew, without seeking particular types. Some of the boys went to high school; some have slight formal education. There is no specific training program, but there is opportunity for practice, essential in a skill like glassblowing which is more a personal art than a mechanical process. The truly interested boys practice on their own time, learning and improving as they go along. The disinterested quickly fall out of the ranks. The older experienced workers in the past willingly lent tools and advice, and the young fellows, as they mastered the trade, found continual opportunity in the general expansion of the Blenko company's business. This,by and large, has been the teaching process: interest, .practice, personal experience on the job. At the beginning there were two old men from Sweden who were highly experienced in the work. Three or four young men who learned from them are still on the job and now teaching others. 8 The Southern Mountains are increasingly famous for this sort of fine product. In addition to the vast outpouring of coal, the timber resources, the great new industries of the hills, this smaller but equally impressive kind of manufacture, trading on the nation's desire for things of a cultural meaning as well as for the blood and bones of industry, is fulfilling all the promise of the mountaineer's innate love for things well made by hand. Such concerns as Blenko are more than mere companies producing goods; they are a continuation and a realization of a cultural heritage.

Any that cannot be used will be returned immediately. Early this afternoon I heard that they would be waiting for me. This wasn't the first time. They have waited before, but most of the time I get away. One time they caught me. They didn't hurt me much. They made a circle and pushed me back and forth from side to side. Ray, the one I hate most, tore my shirt. He hit my arms and shoulders with his fist, and when I ran he grabbed my coat and it tore, and they all laughed and chased me. Sometimes they give me the cigarette treatment on the playground, or unbutton my pants in front of the girls, or slap me hard below my belt, but it isn't as bad as after school, because then there is no one but me to face them. Ray is the worst one of them. His brother is the biggest boy in the school; even the teachers are afraid of his brother, but they fail him anyway. One day he brought a black-jack to class. Ray is smaller than I am and skinnier, but he is mean. His mother and father don't want him; he says so himself and laughs about it. Ray is awfully nervous and mean. You can't tell the teachers about how he is. It will just be worse. I know when to run. As soon as the last bell rings, I go down the steps and out the back door. I skirt around the corner of the school and go through the hedge. I fall across a ditch. My feet get wet, but I get up and run frantically through the woods almost crying. I circle a full mile out of the way, down alleys and across muddy vacant lots. I run all the way; several times I think I see them behind me. I am still breathing hard and trembling when I get into our neighborhood and see our house. I know I have gotten away. As I come into our yard, my daddy sees me. I made the mistake once of telling him about them. Then he told me about the Navy. He said that he had been afraid of some men once, too, but he learned to box, and he fought them and won. It was bloody, but he IO beat them. He kept on boxing a while, but then he got out of the Navy and became a policeman. He isn't afraid of anybody now. He tried to tell me what to do, but it didn't help. I was afraid just the same, and he didn't understand about Ray and his brother and the black-jack and all those other boys and how they like to hurt people. "Son," my daddy says, "did it happen again today?" I don't want to tell him, but he sees it is so just the same. He lays down the shovel where he has been digging to plant an evergreen bush and walks over to me. My daddy is very big and he talks softly. "It's all right, son. You are still my boy although you are afraid. " I turn and go into the house. He has never said anything like that before. He means what he said. My father knows I am a coward. Next day in lunch line Ray pushes in front of me. He jabs me a couple of times in the ribs, but it doesn't hurt much. "Watch out, Ray," I plead. "Quit now, Rayl Aw, don't, Rayl" "We missed you yesterday!" says Ray. "We're gonna. set with you now at the table I You be real sure and save us a place. " I am all shaky when I find a table. It is the last table in the row, table nine. Here it comes now, I think. Why can't they leave me alone? I haven't ever done a thing to them. I almost blubber. I want to tell a teacher, but it won't help. Here it comes now. Ray comes with five of his friends: they are laughing at the joke. Here it comes now. They are all laughing. Here it comes now. They sit down. "I think you done spilt your milkl" says Ray. "Look out, Ray. It's mine. Let me have it, Ray," I say. "Why, you done spilt it all over your shirtl You've done messed your shirt up. " "Look what you did I" I gasp, staggering up with the stained shirttail. "Look what you did 1 " "Meet me after school, Chicken Puke, and I'll clean it up for youl", They all laugh. I feel my leg jerk and tremble and I want to cry. "Want to fight me for it, huh?" he says. "Fight me or run home and tell your flat-foot old man I" "I'll fight you l And your face. . . will look like a tank hit it!" Then there was a great silence at table nine. .,./ (Copyright 1955 by Jerry Paul Perry) THANKSI If You Were Among The 50,000 l Who Saw and Enjoyed Paul Green's Newest Hit WILDERNESS ROAD " American drama reached for and found a new dimension the touring American public ...will be moved by it .....

CAST OF 100 ne Indian Fort Theatre in the Berea College Forest THE DAVIDSON STORY... In Western North Carolina, in the middle of Swannanoa valley's long, curving lap there is a man who lives exactly the kind of life he wants to live. He works when he takes a notion at just what he wants to work at. He gets up before breakfast, plays the violin, reads the New Yorker. He knows latin. He drives a Chevrolet that has a front hub-cap off. He has some apple trees. He is past fifty. He is not married. Sometimes back up at his hunting cabin he sleeps all night with his clothes on. (He never hunts) He says only what needs to be said. Leaves the rest to himself. He bears every stamp of a mountain man and at the same time ems of a completely different tree. In other words, Hardy Davidson is Hardy Davidson. There is none like him anywhere, thank God. Or again, maybe that's too bad. PRESENT AND PAST HARDY DAVIDSON, whose picture appeared on a recent cover q~~nu of this magazine, lives on property claimed by his great, great uncle, Samuel Davidson, over a century ago. The Davidsons at one time owned a huge portion of the Swannanoa Valley. Now the Davidson property, about seventy-five acres known as PINE GROVE FARM, is owned and managed by Hardy and his two sisters. After Mr. Davidson tried his hand at several vocations, he attended the University of North Carolina for a year. Then in 1947 he settled down to teaching at Warren Wilson College near his home in Swannanoa. His love of woodcarving has always been strong. Aside from his teaching he found time to make a beautiful violin and carve wooden ducks, finished to life-like realness by his own secret coloring process. (He markets his ducks all over the country.) He also took spare hours to chisel out complex Shakesperian reliefs and traditional ballad scenes in dark hard wood. Soon it was Appalachian ~, folk dance figures and quality furniture of rare and intricate designs. Ideas were still coming. In 1953 he gave up teaching to claim his hours exclusively for creation in wood. Since then he has tried larger figures, such as the mountain dancers on the cover of this issue. These carved pieces stand two feet high, and sell for twenty dollars and up. Though he generally is a quiet man, Hardy Davidson is a soughtafter speaker. His poignant wit and unique brand of humor give his talks, on such subjects as "Cleaning Out the Attic," an almost hysterically comical appeal. He is a fence rail authority on Buncombe county history. His wide reading, his varied collection of pioneer relics, his far-dating ties with the land in which he lives make him the target of magazine editors and newsmen alike. Tourists' dollars account for an important amdUnt of Mr. Davidson's income. Besides buying his carvings ingift shops, tourists spend quiet nights in his five-gabled house at PINE GROVE FARM. Often visitors, impressed by the atmosphere of the farm, return to spend entire summers on the place. Sometimes they sit under the mimosa trees, listening to Hardy talk as the full beauty of an Appalachian twilight settles around them. Then it is they are caught in Appalachia's spell. . . then the toxic spirit of the mountains is in `v. them, glowing as dull and steady in their eyes as the sun-forsaken ~„,., west. Then it is Hardy tells the Davidson story: (Mr. Davidson's cabin, showing family relics and many of his carvings.) 14 Samuel sat at the trading post, there at Old Fort, and listened to their stories. They told him, those hunters, of the wild and beautiful land farther on, beyond the Blue Ridge's great barrier. That was 1784. They told him he was a fool to go. His brother had been killed in 1776 by Indians, along with his wife and children. Sam was sure to have trouble if he took his family into that valley with no protection save a single rifle. He was sure to. Samuel Davidson must have had wild raw- blood in him. He must have had a strong craving for elbow room, and a mighty love of free air and wild, verdant grass and quick, raucous streams. He must have loved the wind in his eyes and the rain on his back and the damp, rich feel of unbroken soil in his fingers to set out from Old Fort with a wife, a baby, and a Negro slave woman. It was early autumn, 1784. On Christian Creek, close to where the Swannanoa becomes the French Broad River, Samuel smoothed down a level square of ground to make the floor of his cabin. He laid in a supply of meat, and began clearing newground for future planting. He had not seen an Indian. It figured in his mind that the Indians had disappeared from the valley, leaving it to him and the tall cane, the pea vine and the virgin oak. One morning after the cabin was finished, he went to fetch his horse to start the day's work. The horse, with a small bell tied to its neck, had been allowed to wander free to seek forage among the lush vegetation. Sam heard the small tinkle. He followed it up the sharp spine of a hill. All around him he could see milky curls of fog sweeping light and swift out of hill pockets. Morning was breaking fast. At the cabin Mrs. Davidson listened to the weakening tinkle of the familiar bell. Suddenly a sharp realization hither. The belll It was not sounding in the right rhythm, the usual gait. That realization pounded in her like the stroke of doom. She had reached the edge of the cleared field, in the direction of the bell, when the rifle crack came. She stopped dead. It was not the voice of Sam's rifle. No use to call now. No use to warn. The strength and coolness with which Mrs. Davidson acted at that moment says something of the pioneer woman. Grief stricken, she left the cabin and all it sheltered. She walked, with her baby and Negro woman, sixteen rugged miles through unmarked territory. Weak and brush-torn, she found Old Fort by sheer determination. Volunteers, mainly relatives, went immediately to the place Mrs. Davidson described to them. They found Sam's horse, and the bell was gone from his neck. The wife had reasoned right: The Cherokees had lured Sam into the woods with the bell. Before he guessed the trick, they had shot him from a laurel thicket. He had fallen, probably not seeing the ones who had shot him. It was 1784. The volunteer party found Samuel Davidson beside the trail not far from his cabin. He had been scalped. They buried him and set out for revenge. After jumping a band of Cherokee hunters, they killed several of the Indiana, assumed they were Sam's murderers, sad returned to Old Fort. r It was not long until other men followed the Davidson trail west. Sam's twin brother, Major William Davidson, and a man named Alexander led the way. The western march was on. Old Fort was no longer the last g post west of the Blue Ridge. The Blue Ridge was no longer a barrier. e A permanent settlement was begun on the Swannanoa River-in the mid dle of a long, curving lap that still is as lush and beautiful a valley as you will find in any mountain country. On one hillside, visible from the heart of Swannanoa land, there is a headstone that reads: Here lies SAMUEL DAVIDSON First white settler in Western North Carolina Killed here by Cherokees SHORT COURSE OFFERED AT J.

Write Frank Smith for details. 16 This article is about Eastern Kentucky in particular, but the problems set forth and the pictures draw speak for many other sections of our country where men mine coal for a living. By kind permission of the author, Gerald Griffin, and KENTUCKY BUSINESS we reprint it here. KENTUCKY BUSINESS wrote: "Mary stories have been written about Eastern Kentucky. Most of them have been slanted, biased articles---stories portraying ignorant, bare footed mountaineers whose favorite pastime is feuding... Determined to present to its readers a thorough, objective, and trueto-life portrayal of this mis-interpreted people and their troubled economy, KENTUCKY BUSINESS called on the talented head of The Louisville Courier-Journal's Eastern Kentucky Bureau. Gerald Griffin knows every road and creek bed, every hollow, every coal camp in his territory...' Read on as he tells... THE TRUTH ABOUT EASTERN KENTUCKY LECTRIC WASHING machines and refrigerators still can be seen occasionally on the front porches of humble cottages in the coal-mining camps of Eastern Kentucky. But there are not as many of them, by far, as there were a few years back when money was easy to come by and was to be spent freely for whatever struck the fancy of the miner or the miner's wife. People out of work don't sink money into gadgets they can get along without. In fact, it's precious little money they can sink period. And Not marry homes have washers on the porches today . . 17 when the purchasing power of the coal miner is curtailed it is reflected on business generally throughout the three great valleys of Eastern Kentucky. These are the Big Sandy, the Kentucky, and the Cumberland. All are coalproducing valleys. Coal is the life blood of the Kentucky mountain region which roughly embraces the eastern third of the Commonwealth. Veins of it in variable thicknesses underlay vast areas. There are times when it can be compared with black gold. Much more often it is a drug on the market. It's in the drug stage at present. The bottom has dropped out of the market. And as a direct result, Eastern Kentucky's economy is affected adversely. The Eastern Kentucky coal industry has had its ups and downs with every boom followed by a much longer period of depression. Two World Wars boosted coal production and created sellers' markets, climaxing in the peak year of 1947. Then Casey lowered the boom. Coal, so bountifully bestowed on Kentucky by nature, is stored-up energy drawn from the sun. Billions of years were required in its metamorphosis from giant ferns which shaded the earth long before trees had learned how to grow. In its evolution, coal passed through several stages in a progressive scale of hardness from peat to lignite to bituminous to anthracite. All of these fuels are found in the United States although Kentucky has only bituminous coal. Anthracite is limited to Pennsylvania. Kentucky's vast deposits of bituminous coal are found in three great fields, the Big Sandy, the Hazard and the Harlan, with some in the Jellico Field, which lies mainly in North Tennessee. Eastern Kentucky's coal is of two general types: by-products, or coking coal, and domestic, or steam coal. All of it is of high quality. Most of the by-products coal is found in the Big Sandy Field in Pike, Floyd, and Letcher Counties. This type of coal is used primarily in the manufacture of steel. When the steel mills hum the Big Sandy prospers. But the steel mills are far below maximum production now. They can get along without the amount of coke they had to have during the war. What coal the steel mills need they can procure from their own captive coal mines. They don't find it necessary to purchase from the independent operators. Verily it's now a buyers' market. Many factors have contributed to the distressful situation of Eastern Kentucky's coal industry which in turn, gives a dismal outlook to business in general throughout the area, excluding a few bright spots. Independent operators of the larger mines more or less agree on the causes leading up to the predicament in which they find themselves. One of these is overproduction. A dozen years ago the industry was fairly stable. Then came the war and a demand for more coal. The demand continued to grow faster than the coal could be produced. Existing operations were expanded. New mines were opened. Mechanization was increased to speedup production. As one operator explained, "Everybody wanted to get into the coal business." 18 Over Expansion of Mines The more money that was made in coal the more mines were dug. cf Little truck mines sprang up all over the landscape. The highways were n( jammed with coal trucks. The railroads were having a hard time providing enough coal gondolas to haul the product. Buyers were bidding against CIJ each other for coal. Any kind of coal, regardless of quality, ash or sul- aI phur content, could be disposed of at a big price. Money came easy. For- th tunes were made. As a result, the industry overexpanded And a lot of operators were left holding the bag. The increased cost of production was another factor. In the organized fields the miners, through their union, demanded and were granted, E' not without protest from the operators, continual wage increases until now gh the basic daily wage is $18.75 for an eight-hour day which isn't eight hours pI at all when portal-to-portal pay and lunch time is considered. At least, fo that's the operators' viewpoint. Along with progressive wage increases the union procured steady increases in its tapping of the operators for contributions to its Health H~ Ui and Welfare Fund until now the operators are forced to pay the union 40~ a ton for every ton mined by union labor. And all Eastern Kentucky coal, at except that mined in Clay and most of Leslie counties, is produced by union th labor. Owners of coal lands leased to operators usually are paid only L, ten to twenty cents a ton for coal extracted. th c s at cc to at Fewer coal trains leave the hollows for naarket . . . 19 Also contributing to the high-production cost of Eastern Kentucky coal is the thinness of many seams, making it impracticable and uneco nomical to go in for mechanization in a big way. Engineers estimate that AL i, the average thickness of Eastern Kentucky coal seams is only 42 inches. t ~, Of course some of the seams may be as much as ten feet thick, but to arrive at the average, a great deal must be much thinner than 42 inches. _ The thin seams must be mined with limited mechanical aid, whereas the thick seams can be extracted with maximum machinery and minimum man power. In a highly competitive industry such as coal now finds itself, the Eastern Kentucky operations are at a distinct disadvantage. In its strag gle for markets, most Eastern Kentucky coal must compete against coal produced in the unorganized fields of Virginia, Western Kentucky and the s two non-union counties of its own area. These unorganized fields can af ford to undercut the selling price because they can operate cheaper with a considerably lower miners' wage scale and no forced contribution to the Health and Welfare Fund of the United Mine Workers of America. Unions Enforce Contracts The union sees to it that its contract with the Eastern Kentucky oper rn ators is enforced to the letter whereas in other fields it has been charged that such is not always the case. As an example, the Steams Coal and Lumber Company, which owns several big mines in McCreary County near the Tennessee line, claims that it was forced to go out of the underground ~~„ coal-mining business because it was required to adhere to the union wage scale and pay the 40-cent Welfare Fund contribution in an unsuccessful attempt to compete with unionized Tennessee mines which, with the tacit consent of union leaders, blithely ignore the wage part of the contract. Quality being equal, it takes only a few cents a ton in price differential to spell the difference between finding a ready market and selling no coal at all. Then there's the unfavorable freight-rate differential which nearly all operators claim is a distinct handicap to Eastern Kentucky. The railroads do not charge a certain amount per ton per mile in the shipment of coal. If they did, precious little Eastern Kentucky coal ever would be sold in normal times, for coal in that area often is shipped right through competing coal fields in reaching the markets. The Virginia and some of the West Virginia fields stand between Kentucky and the Atlantic Seaboard markets and the ports from which coal is placed on ocean freighters for export. The West Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois fields are much closer to the Great Lakes parts and the Mid-West markets. Figuring out coal rate scales is a complex business often confusing even to the operators. Without regarding per-tonper-mile shipping costs, the railroads charge so much per ton from one area to another. Most Eastern Kentucky operators claim they have to pay more per ton to reach their market than do the competing fields. Or at least the buyers have to pay the rate. Naturally, the buyers are going to pass that increase on to the operators by offering that much less for the product. They are not 1. Once Prosperous mining camps are becoming ghost towns . . . . going to pay more for Eastern Kentucky Coal when they can get all they want for less money. In a nutshell, Eastern Kentucky's general economic conditions are in a bad way because the coal industry there is in a bad way and coal is suffering because of the high cost of production-including labor-unfavorable freight rates and the terrific inroads that competing fuels are making on the industry everywhere. The competition facing Kentucky mountain coal is accentuated by decreased demand for hard fuel. In the first place, the big coal consumers have taken advantage of a comparatively peaceful labor picture during the past year when no general strikes afflicted the industry, to build huge stockpiles of coal. Many of these consumers, having run out of storage space, are now resorting to these piles for current use. They are not in the market for any more coal just now. And they know they can replenish their supplies at any time. That ties in with overproduction. Railroads Convert to Diesel Then the changeover by railroads from steam to disel locomotives and by householders from coal to gas-burning furnaces for heating purposes' has taken a huge chunk out of the coal market. Before the advent of dieselization, the railroads purchased tremendous quantities of bituminous coal to create the steam necessary to power their locomotives. But when they found that they could pull their trains more economically and more effi ciently with oil burners they turned away from coal . even the railroads J that couldn't exist without the revenue they obtain from hauling coal. Hand-in-hand with the development of dieselization has come the unrestricted importation of residual fuel oil in vast quantities from islands off the coast of South America. Coal producers contend that this has had a tremendously adverse affect on their industry. Residual oil is what's 21 left of petroleum after the gasoline and other valuable products have been extracted. Then it is shipped cheaply by ocean-going tankers to the Atlantic Seaboard states where it becomes a cheap fuel in utilities plants that formerly used steam coal for that purpose. This imported, cheap fuel oil-sold for what .it will bring-has had its effect on Eastern Kentucky. Operators in that area contend that this steady flow of foreign waste oil has taken a large market away from Virginia mines which have entered into the competition with Kentucky mines for the Mid-West market. They claim they had too much competition as it was without having to take on Virginia. Operators and union leaders see eye to eye on that problem, declaring that this importation has caused the loss of a coal outlet with the resultant loss of revenue by coal-carrying railroads and flee unemployment of many railroad employees. They are seeking to have a_tariff placed on the competitive foreign residual although taking no stand against the use of residual oil produced in the United States. The constant increase in the use of natural gas in homes and industries has cut deeply into coal production everywhere with the race between Gulf Coast gas fields to build huge pipe-lines from Texas and Louisiana to the industrial East. At least four of these gas pipe-lines snake their way across Kentucky from Tennessee to the West Virginia line, passing right through, or mighty close to, the Eastern Kentucky coal fields. ~l; Because natural-gas furnaces are clean and easy to operate, thousands of Kentucky homes in recent years have converted from coal to gas for heating purposes. Some have converted to their sorrow, taking the plight of Somerset during the January cold spell as an example. They ran out of gas down there. As a direct result of the factors mentioned, Eastern Kentucky is facing a bleak economic outlook if not quite already in a depression. Business is far from humming, although a traveling salesman who stopped in Pikeville recently admitted that his sales were at their peak. He sells flour. He explained that when there's a money shortage his sales skyrocket because a housewife can cook biscuits at home a dang sight cheaper than she can buy bread at a store. And coal miners who were flush with money for a few years up to 1948 aren't running over each other in a race to buy expensive items such as electric refrigerators and washing machines to set out on the front porch because there wasn't roc m for them in their shacks. They don't buy expensive automobiles any more, either. Thousands of unemployed coal miners have emigrated from the Kentucky hill country during the past few years seeking a livelihood in Detroit, Dayton, and other industrial centers out of the state. They could find no work near home. Thousands more are trying to exist on unemployment benefits while waiting around in the hope that the coal business will pick up soon. Because there is comparatively little land suitable for agriculture in most of Eastern Kentucky the unemployed coal miners can't pick up even a little seasonal work as people can in other sections. 22 With the coal industry almost flat on its back, one might well wonder what Eastern Kentuckians are doing to remedy their economic situation. There's not a great deal they can do for themselves. What they need is some kind of industries other than coal to take up the unemployment slack and pump pay-roll money into their economic arteries. Over in the Cumberland River Valley things are different and the people around Somerset are hopeful of luring additional industries into their immediate area. Cumberland Lake, a vast body of relatively pure water created by the construction of the Wolf Creek Dam by the Federal Goverment across the Cumberland River, has impounded plenty of industrial cold water. This lake also has made it possible to ship coal from the Pulaski field in the eastern section of the county directly to adequate industrial sites accessible to the main line of the Southern Railroad and to arterial highways both east and west and north and south. And a barge line already is in operation on the lake, transporting coal and crushed rock in huge steel scows brought from New Orleans to the dam without touching dry land. The Somerset Chamber of Commerce is optimistic over the chance of getting a factory to be located within seven miles of the city, possibly at Burnside. This plant would employ about 300 people, There's some talk of another much larger plant that has given some consideration to that area as a possible plant site. And it has been whispered around that the Federal Goverment conceivably might utilize a site somewhere within the bounds of the Cumberland National Forest for the establishment of an atomic energy plant. Non-coal industry would help An atomic energy plant in Eastern Kentucky would go a long way toward solving the coal problem as enormous amounts of fuel are required in the production of atomic energy. The atomic plant at Piketon, Ohio, has been of no help to Eastern Kentucky coal producers because it does not plan the purchase of a single pound of Kentucky coal. It can buy its fuel cheaper from the near-by fields of Ohio and West Virginia due to cheaper transportation. West Virginia coal, especially from the Kanawha Valley, is in a much more favorable position to dispense coal to the Piketon plant and to the Mid-West market than its neighboring Big Sandy Field because it can' ship cheaper, utilizing the canalized Kanawha River. Although there has been an influx of industries into some parts of Ken tucky from the great industrial centers of the North and East in recent, years, the mountain region has failed to attract manufacturing plants in any appreciable degree. Lack of desirable plant sites has been one reason for this failure in some sections. Fear of the powerful United Mine Workers Union and its subsidiary, the United Construction Union, or District 50, is another. Now, in the midst of all this Eastern Kentucky gloom, let's take a look forward and see what the future might have in store for the area. Starting with the Big Sandy Valley, there's almost unlimited reserves of top-grade by-products coal beneath those hills in Pike, Floyd, Letcher, Inadequate school buildings are being replaced by modern structures... and parts of Breathitt counties. A recent study by the Kentucky Geological Survey revealed great quantities of commercial clays, brines and sands. There's a limited amount of agricultural land but it can produce excellent strawberries which do not require thick soil or much acreage. Fine apples are grown inJohnson county. Sorghum cane grows prolifically in the valley. For years, visionaries in the valley have preached a crusade seeking to have the Federal Government canalize the Big Sandy and its two main forks, the Tug and the Levisa. Although this effort has come to naught, a movement is now under way to have the Government construct a series of reservoir impoundment dams in the upper reaches of the main forks as part of a flood-control program. Engineers contend that these proposed reservoirs would serve the additional purposes of providing a steady supply of industrial water and would provide a prime recreational attraction for tourists. Similar reservoirs are sought for the upper Kentucky River valley. New Tourist Developments Although the Big Sandy region never has had its share of the tourist trade, that situation stands to be eased somewhat with the establishment of a state park on the shores of Dewey Lake in Floyd County. The Kentucky Department of Conservation is seriously interested in the project and probably it will get started in the next few months. Only a few details are yet to be worked out between Henry Ward, State Commissioner of Conservation, and Federal officials. Even without a park, the lake, easily accessible from U. S. Highway 23, last year lured half a million automobiles, according to government count. A park there, with cottages and a restaurant, along with adequate bathing and fishing facilities could be expected to draw many more tourists. Another tourist luring park is being seriously considered for the Breaks of Sandy, or Breaks of Cumberland as it is called in Virginia. 24 A resolution already has been introduced into the Kentucky Legislature to authorize the Governor of Kentucky to enter into a compact with the Governor of Virginia for the joint establishment of a park in the Breaks area by the two Commonwealths. The Cumberland River valley, despite the present bleak conditions in the Harlan Coal Field, has probably a much brighter outlook than the other two great watersheds in Eastern Kentucky, especially in its southern reaches, since the creation of Lake Cumberland. The lake itself already is a growing and thriving tourist attraction, offering excellent fishing. And its boating lure is so great that a big regatta is held there each year. In this area, the city of London has made remarkable strides after being chosen as Kentucky's first test city. London, Corbin, and Somerset have developed excellent motels and restaurants while trying hard to make themselves attractive. The new town of Burnside already is a resort center. And whereas the U. M. W. has been extracting millions from Eastern Kentucky coal companies for its Health and Welfare Fund, the union is beginning to pour a lot of this money back into the area. The union has already broken ground for modern, well-equipped hospitals at Pikeville, McDowell, Whitesburg, Hazard and Middlesboro. These hospitals, while primarily for miners and their families, will be open to the general public. Now if industry happens to be interested, it can find in Eastern Kentucky an abundance of coal, native labor, power, rail and highway transportation, an adequate supply of industrial water in some places, and the open arms of a public eager to serve on the welcoming committee. It can find building sites for factories, a comparatively mild climate, and attractive towns well equipped with fine schools, churches, hospitals and recreational facilities.

Wilma Dykeman's upbringing in French Broad country undoubtedly contributes to her first book, but this environmental fact does not alone explain THE FRENCH BROAD's quality. The book sparkles, not because its author lives in the area it describes, but because she has paid systematic attention to that area. In other words, Wilma Dykeman has done the type of research which undergirds most pieces of good writing. While Wilma Dykema.n's research makes THE FRENCH BROAD anything but stuffy, her story of a river is much more than regional oddities collected by a native of Asheville who later moved to Newport. Any ableminded tourist can gather quaint mountain sayings-as any adolescent poet can sit with his feet on the rail of a mountain cabin porch and pencil smooth expressions about the high altitude, the view, or his own propped-up feet. A possible criticism of the book may be that it is too eager to call forth the "independent mountain man" stereotype, In addition, THE FRENCH BROAD may be caught in a liberal-conservative crossfire for its gingerly treatment of TVA, an issue closely related to what the book sees as a major question in American History: states' rights versus controls. But despite the chance of such criticisms, THE FRENCH BROAD does not smack of mere lore-gathering or poetryfor-poetry's-sake superficiality. Partly because it is so concrete, its insights frequently run deeper than the river it describes. The work's concreteness gives one a feeling of having lived beside the French Broad throughout its history. As Miss Dykeman aims her telescope at this line drawn from east to west on a North Carolina.-Tennessee map, one feels teeming life and energy where before he had felt only majestic beauty. As the area's history is told, social-culturalreligious-economic problems become clear. As events and legends pass before the reader's eye, Wilma Dykeman's river becomes a continuum extending from past to future-a rumbling but mute story-teller awaiting someone able to read sign language. Wilma Dykeman has read the signs and in a highly reputable fashion, relayed the story. ---- By Norris wooaie. WE ALWAYS LIE TO STRANGERS: Tall Tales from the Ozarks, Randolph, Vance, New York, Columbia University Press, 1951, 309 pp., $4.00. N110 BLOWER UP THE CHURCH HOUSE and Other Ozark Folk Tales, with notes by Herbert Halpert, Randolph, Vance, Same press, 1952, 232 pp., $3.75. THE DEVIL'S PRETTY DAUGHTER and Other Ozark Fblk Tales, with notes by Herbert Halpert, Randolph, Vance, Same press, 1955, 239 pp., $3.75. The steady stream of volumes from Mr. Randolph for the past twenty years, all on the folkways and lore of the Ozarks, prove abundantly that there is a living and lingering oral folklore in those hills. His earlier books have been on folk speech, oral superstitions, and a record-breaking four-volume edition of Ozark folksongs. The fact that the people who have been the generous performers for this life-long collector are largely of British extraction makes this stream of volumes good reading for us in Appalachia. Since the titles above are largely self-explanatory, only a few words need to be added here to introduce them. The first book is made up of an endless variety of tall tales, exaggerations, and "windies" in local circulation although some can be traced back to Munchausen arid other sources in Europe. The material is brought into order under various subjects whose chapter heads are intriguing to the reader, such as "Steep Hills and Razorbacks," "Fabulous Monsters," "Hunting Yarns," etc. Since the book does not have folkloristic notes, it is aimed at the general reader who has a laugh or two awaiting him on every page. The latter two volumes are about of the same good quality, containing some ninety foiktales each, someshox~t, somelong, some risque or gruesome, and others humorous or playful. WHO BLOWED UP, for instance, has easily recognizable tales, such as "The Stranger and the Beans, " "The Dumb Stepper," "The Devil in the Graveyard," and a half-dozen with Jack as the hero, all found in Appalachia. The title story of THE DEVIL'S PRETTY DAUGHTER has been collected among us, as well as "Slipping Through the Keyhole," "Jack and the Sack," "Mister Fox," "The Magic Cowhide," and many others. This volume contains a few prose riddles and the prose versions of a few ballads. The latter two books have the invaluable notes of a Kentucky folklorist, , Dr. Halpert, who traces the adventures of most of the tales on other American frontiers and who cites parallels collected here and especially in Britain. In the last named book he cites a few parallels printed in Mountain Life & Work. It is only fair to repeat here what Dr. Halpert says of the first folk tale volume. These books are for adult audiences, and although virtually all of the tales may be read by or to children, some few are suggestive of obscene situations. This caution does not lessen the value of these two collections of stories for the general reader, or the folklorist who will be happy to find in these volumes a number of world-wide magic tales that have come with our people to this country. --- By Leonard Roberts. 32 Every August down in Viper a whole lot of people get together to shake hands, talk, and eat from a long, loaded table.

FAWCETT, INC. Dept. M. 129 South St. Boston 11, Mass. EDITOR CHARLES DRAKE IN DENMARK Once upon a time a small boy stood watching a hawk flying. A man of purpose and wisdom walked up to the boy and watched with him for a while. They bent their necks way back, watching the black dot drift around the toe head of y, a mountain. Presently the boy said: " Sight, ain't it?" The man answered simply, but in a way the boy never forgot: "Son, let your mind soar with the hawk, but keep your heart in the hills below..." This past September Chad Drake set sail for Denmark... to let his mind soar. But, be sure, his heart is here in the Southern Mountains. Here is his concern and his life's work. With his children, Laurel, Charles Christopher and David, and his wife, Marjorie, he set out for Denmark to study at the University of Copenhagen. There are several reasons why he chose Denmark. One is bemuse of the many ties Appalachia has with Denmark: Georg and Marguerite Bidstrup, for instance, (now also in Denmark, along with Marily Luster, teacher and recreation leader) who have taught us the wonderful Danish dances. Another reason is that in 1945 UNRA decided to replenish animal stock in war torn countries. Coming back from Poland, Chad's ship ran aground off Denmark and was forced in to Copenhagen for repairs. This gave him time to travel over the Danish countryside where he met interesting people and became acquainted with the Folk Lore Movement. In the fall of 1954 Chad applied for a Fulbright scholarship to study Rural Reconstruction in Denmark, and especially to study the works and influence of Bishop Grundtvig, the man who started the "Abundant Life" religious movement. Bishop Grundtvig believed in improving people's lives by cooperatives, folk schools, and proper education in language, geography and history. 36 Mountain Life and Work, the slick magazine, had died when Chad Drake came to Berea. The subsidy had exhausted and the whole project was to be given up as "too expensive." Chad said, "Give me a small budget and let me try it." He cut down the physical size of the magazine and began a lively, informal approach to subjects. Result: subscriptions zoomed to ® t four times their previous number and the magazine swelled to 48 pages. The photo-offset method of printing helped finance the new magazine, but there is no getting around it, Chad's own creative approach saved the day. Mr. Drake's biography is too detailed and full of service to allow me to do him justice in this space, but here are a few briefs: Graduated from University of Georgia with degree in Journ alism... later received B. D. degree from Union Theological Seminary... Was pastor at Community Church in Pleasant Hill, Tenn... 2 years president of County Ministerial Association, Cumber- land County... Taught Old and New Testament and Civics at Berea... was also advisor to High Y group for six years... Supply pastor for one year at Pilgrim Congregational Church at Corbin, Kentucky... Met his wife in a bowling alley. By out-bowling her, she had to buy cokes. . . he had to buy ring... On his way to Denmark, after some rough sailing weather, Mr. Drake wrote: "The trip was suddenly worth it when we got into the fjord coming out of Bergen, Norway. Three and four thousand foot mountains dropping right down into the sea, and pocket handkerchief farms clinging to the cliffs, each one supporting a house that would put 19 Prospect Street to shame. I i don't know how they do itl If we could get the same pride of ownership and the same concern for a home into the Southern Mountains, half our job would be over at that moment. Oh, well, Bergen was founded in the 1200'x, so I guess there may be hope for us yet." Chad is a fine photographer. One of his current interests is to start a file of negatives for the Southern Mountains. This would preserve many priceless pictures that might otherwise be lost or destroyed,and thus, a cultural record lost. But he has many ideas. And he will come back from Denmark with many more. Until that time, when again we ail shall have benefit of his friendly wit and gifted pen, we SALUTE Chad Drake, Appalachia's ambassador in Denmark. ---Hurry home, Chadi- Write Mr. Charles Drake at: SOPHIENBERGVEJ 7 RUNGSTED. DENMARK KENTUCKY FOLKLORE SOCIETY The Kentucky Folklore Society held its fall meeting at Union College on October 15, 1955. Invited to meet at Barbourville this year by Leonard Roberts, Head of Union's English Department and vice-president of the Society, the group witnessed the final day of the historical Daniel Boone Festival and participated in some of the events. On Saturday morning the Society held a meeting in the College auditorium where more than a hundred interested members, students, and townspeople gathered for the program. Two ballads were sung by Dr. D. K. Wilgus, English Department, Western State College and Secretary-Treasurer of the Society. They were the," Two Sisters" and "Sinking of the Titanic," sung to the plaintive strumming of a guitar. The major address was given by Dr. Herbert Halpert, Head of Languages and Literature, Murray State College, and President of the American Folklore Society. His talk, "Kentucky's Living Folk Traditions," was followed by questions and discussion from the group. Dr. Wilgus, editor of the newly-launched magazine, Ken tucky Folklore Record, gave a brief history of KFS, telling how it is now taking new directions with over 160 members. One of the Society's new efforts is to publish collections and articles of interest to folklore students and recreation leaders everywhere. Membership and subscription fee Ls oR!y 1-1- 50.

And there's room for them to pop, thank Berea College which has housed us in the Administration Building for the past four years. Now, again through the courtesy of Berea College, the Council has new quarters in the Seale Building on Main Street, right between Boone Tavern Hotel and the College Post Office. There are four rooms, each as big or bigger than the one we had. In addition there is a long hall and a bath. There will be an open House very soon to which everybody on campus will be invited and to which we wish you all could come. WELL, LET'S SEE... The fall meeting of the Regional Group was held at Pine Mountain on October 15th. Over fifty attended. Mr. Perle Estridge of Red Bird was elected President of this group and the Reverend G. R. Klinefelter of Lewis Creek was elected Vice-President. Jim Wolfe represented the Council at the Rural Youth of the U. S. A. Conference at the State 4-H camp at Jackson's Mill in Weston, W. Va. Jim was elected to a two-year term as Trustee. At Brasstown the Council Recreation Committee met on November 4th, at which Miss Lee Spencer reported her recreation work that has included appointments in Clairborne County, Tennessee, as well as resident service at the Grace Nettleton Home in Harrogate, Tennessee. Jim Wolf reported his work in cooperation with the Virginia Highlands Festival at Abingdon, Virginia, Highlander Folk School at Monteagle, Tennessee, and others. YOU OUGHT TO KNOW THAT. . I Mr. Ayer served again this year as the acting chairman of the special interests groups on Rural Adult Education at the National Conference of the Adult Educational Association of the U.S.A. In 1952 Berea College sent Mr. Ayer to East Lansing, Michigan, at the request of the Council to participate in this annual conference on Adult Education. In 1953, when the group met in Chicago, Mr. Ayer was asked to assemble a group interested in the rural situation. This he did and, as usual, did well. Under his leadership participation grew. At the 1953 session thirty-five educators from twenty different states were present to discus the common cause of the many interests and agencies they represented. Mr Ayer has also served on the elections committee of the AEA. In close relationship to these concerns on Adult Education was the meeting held in Miami, Florida, when the Council again arranged a luncheon session on November 30th on the theme "The College in the Country." the e the INDEX for MOUNTAIN LIFE AND WORK publication of THE COUNCIL OF SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS, INC. 1949-1955 90 his Index has been prepared to cover the issues of MOUNTAIN LIFE AND WORK which have been published since the previous index appeared at the back of Volume XXIV, issue 4 for Winter, 1948.

XXVIII:l Wi 52 p 4-5 63 NEW COVER DESIGN 19A hearty and sincere "THANK YOiT' to Mr. Constantine Kermes who created and contributed the new Mountain Life and Work cover design. Some months ago Mr. Kermes asked Mr. Ayer if the Council would be interested in receiving a new idea for the cover. Today, just a few hours before press time, the design came. It pleased us so much that we felt obligated to include it in this issue. About CorrstawtiiieKer'l~7es Thirty-one year old Constantine Kermes works from a shop which he has built on one of Pennsylvania's many wooded hills. He finds a peace in the manner of living demonstrated by the Pennsylvania Dutch and the disappearing New England Shakers. To examine this interest directly, he makes frequent sketching pilgrimages into the locales of these "American Saints." These trips have included visits into the remote mountain villages of New Mexico, and most recently a trip through the folk country of the Southern Highlands (Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, and the Virginias). Constantine Kermes' patterning can, in part, be traced to his association with Icons painted by two uncles in Greek Monasteries.
