Cigarette Burns Up
Demunds Road Shack
A shed on Upper Demunds Road,
to be dismantled for lumber by two
young men Tuesday at 12:45 a.m.,
caught fire from a cigarette and
burned to the ground.
A high wind picked up the cig-
arette flame which caught in some
straw on the floor of the shed on
the Charlotte Weaver property,
near Miller's corners, while Ellis
Weaver and Marvin Meade were
working inside.
Shed was totally engulfed in
flames immediately, but the Dr.
Henry M. Laing Fire Company was
| summoned, and it put out the blaze.
Weaver, recently home on fur-
lough from the Air Force, said there
was nothing in the shed except
some straw, and it was worth only
the lumber they had hoped to sal-
vage out of it.
Several other sheds were close
by, and were prevented from catch-
ing fire, and the Weaver home, also
was protected, as well.

*Home Butter-Making Is Practically
$Extinct In The Back Mountain Area
Folks who nostalgically deplore
the passing of the family churn as
well as the horse and buggy, will
be relieved to know that there are
at least two bona-fide churners in
the area.
Mrs. Frances Harvey, out in
Bethel Hill, churns twice a week,
and Miss Goldsmith, in Demunds,
uses her Guernsey cow as source |
material. The product in both in- |
stances, is used in the home, not |
sold.
To Mrs. Harvey, however, goes
the palm, because she still uses a
churn, and Miss Goldsmith
duces the butter, but it lacks at-
