The finished product, min- us peel and core, was sliced in a spiral, ‘and under gentle tension expanded like an ‘accordion. It was good to eat, too. Probably in the days when folks dried apples, it was a boon to humanity, for any child would get a tremendous kick out of running the apparatus. folks used to split shingles with row.

When the unknown came back from his car, he handed Mr. Gar- inger this old forged padlock. He picked up what looked like a pair of tongs. It developed that it was a contraption to ease a tight shoe over a corn or a bunion. The two Scotch sickles looked like illustrations from a Bible story, much longer than the pres- ent-day models, and used, not for chopping or slashing, but for sever- ing the grain heads gently in a clump. There were some blacksmith tools, and a pair of shoes designed for the cloven hoof of an ox. Mrs. Garinger made another trip to the kitchen and back again to the porch, this time with a tailor’s goose, “And a gosling”, she added, setting down a smaller edition. It reminded us of the story about the man who wanted to order a tailor’s goose in duplicate, but was unsure of the plural. “Send me a tailor’s goose’, he wrote, and then, “P.S. Send me another.” Now a pair of steelyards came to light. Zel hung an old flat-iron on the hook and balanced the weight. “It’s 125 years old”, he said.

Among the ready-to-wear for men and oxen were two shoulder yokes, one to slip over the head and distribute the weight of two brimming buckets, the other to fit over a pair of massive necks. Mr. Garinger still mourns over the coffee grinder which used to hang ‘on the wall. He says he never saw another like it, and de- scribed it in detail. Then he gave the cherry-pitter an experimental twist, and went on to the spud. A spud? What's a spud, we wanted to know. A spud, Mr. Garinger explained, is something you take bark off the trees with, in the spring of the year when the sap is up. Hem- lock and oak, mostly, and the bark. is for tanning. “This”, said Mr, Garinger, bal- ancing a handmade hoe head on his finger, “was picked up in the basement of the White Store church in Mt. Upton. See that eye to hold the handle? That was forged in by hand in some country black- smith’s shop.” He showed a king-pin and wrench from a lumber wagon, a black- smith’s hoof knife and a‘ hoof cleaner; a square razorstrop of a type practically extinct; a broad two-pronged paddle = for lifting steaming clothes from the boiler or yarn from the dye vat; and crowning touch, a whip made from elephant hide which sang viciously when snapped.

The triangle between the old highway and the new, south of Hall's drugstore, was purchased from the Fred Howell estate in March and plans drawn for perma- nent occupancy and extensive land- scaping. : Whitelsell Brothers erected a small office building and Sev New- berry designed the sign in a fence effect which will eventually be flanked with yew trees to broaden it and reduce the apparent height. A rustic: footbridge will cross Toby's Creek and connect the two sections, with the background filled with rhododendron and azaleas against the old stone wall, a per- fect backdrop for the flower beds along the new highway. The sun- ken garden effect will be preserved, according to Robert Rave. There is a demand for English wallflowers by people who have stone walls or rock gardens, and this call will be catered to. In clearing the acre for business purposes, great care was taken to preserve all good trees, with sap- lings and brush thinned out. The soil across Toby's Creek is prac- tically virgin, built up by flood waters when the creek changed its bed. Both Rave Brothers are gra- duates of Pennsylvania.
