RUBY BECKET TELLS OF FOXFIRE III The Bookworms were told of the successful project of high school students who have recorded many interesting personalized stories of "real mountain" pioneer folks and their skills by Ruby Becket at their second February meet ing. The book she talked from is "Foxfire 3". published by Anchor Press in 1975. Its 500 pages record a continuation of the life stories that began In Foxfire Magazine and appea red in the two earlier Foxfire books. Ruby and Harold Becket have made three cross-count- Kevin Hughes spent the weekend at the home of Larry Blakeslee. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Os burne moved from Kimberly to their home in Foxx last weekend. Their daughter Les lie is slaying with her grand parents, the George Stubble fields. Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Far rens left Monday for Ashland. ry trips through the Blue Ridge Parkway area, where many of these people live, as they have gone to visit their daughter Sharon Burkenbine (Mrs. Albert) and family at Wilkesboro. NC. They have collected many interesting colored pictures of that terri tory, which Ruby circulated ''as she was giving her review on Feb. 24 at Ella Smith's home. The Foxfire project was the brain child of Eliot Wigginton who teaches journalism at the Rabun Gap, Georgia Nacoo chee School (just over the state line from Wilkesboro). . "Wig" as he is known to his students is currently working to extend the Foxfire concept of education and oral history to other communities; similar projects have been started recently from Main to Missou ri and from Alaska to Hawaii. Some of the skills described in the "living interviews" by students in this third book include the building of banjos and dulcimers, animal care and hide tanning; summer and fall wild plant foods, ginseng, the making of butter churns, and many other pioneer-type ideas on plain, honest, simple living and sharing. A reader can gain know ledge from these interviews and from the reports of the students who actually got in and worked with a truly learned from the mountain folk. The use of gourds, the building of a smokehouse, the making of brooms and brush es, the creation of cornshuck mops, dolls and hats, and many practical recipes and other instructions are simply given. Ruby showed a corn shuck doll she had made after reading instructions in this book. Persons who enjoy do-it-yourself living will find that Foxfire 3 is very interesting. Its stories make interesting reading, bringing the history of parts of North Carolina. Georgia. Virginia. West Vir ginia. Kentucky and Tennes see alive. The persons written about and photographed in the book immediately seem like neighbors and old friends to its readers. LUBE SPECIAL $14.
