PRESIDENT’S LETTER WINTER 2015

By Marty Thacker President, Rougemont Ruritan Club

This year has really flown by for the Rougemont Ruritan Club. We started the year with 55 members and will end the year with 63 members. All of these dedicated volun-teers worked 1749 hours and returned $24,304 back into the Rougemont community.

We could do a lot more for our community if you would like to join us. Ruritan is “Good people having a good time doing good things” for their community.

Our club will be celebrating its 65th anniversary on December 7, 2015. Those years rep-resent cooking a lot of pancakes, sausage patties, brunswick stews, golf tournaments sup-porting scholarships to high school students, Easter festivals, parades, roadside trash pick-ups and many other fundraisers and projects.

It is amazing what a small group of committed and dedicated Ruritans can accomplish in one year if your heart is in a good place. Talk to a Ruritan member, attend a fund-raiser or visit a club meeting and learn what Ruritan is all about. If you would like to visit a club meeting on the first Tuesday night of each month at 7:00 p.m., contact a Rougemont Ruritan Club members and come as a guest.

Wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Rougemont Christmas Party Saturday December 5th Santa Claus will visit Rougemont Saturday evening, December 5

th at 6 PM.

Rougemont Ruritan Club, 212 Bacon Road. All of Rougemont is invited! The party is FREE! Please bring children accompanied by an adult. The annual Christ-mas Party is sponsored by Rougemont ECA with help from Rougemont Ruritan. There will be refreshments and a gift for all children. Parents will have an opportunity to take their child's picture sitting on Santa's lap. Children should bring their Christmas wish lists to whisper in Santa's ear. Santa will be checking his Naughty and Nice List, so be good all you children! The Rougemont ECA is making Christmas crafts to give the chil-dren as well.

Christmas Piñata - A Rougemont Christmas Party Tradition Each year at the annual Rougemont Christmas Party Ms Lydia Thomas surprises everyone with a new and beautiful pinata which she makes herself.

Each year's pinata is different. Each year's pinata is kept secret until the Christmas Party. Below are 3 pinata's from prior years. What will the pinata be this year? Who will be the lucky child who breaks it? Come to the Christmas Party, at Rougemont Ruritan, 6 PM, and find out!

Af- ter the party, children

will get on a hay wagon and travel to the Rougemont United Methodist Church for caroling and a tree lighting. Come and have a good time!

Rougemont Reporter Page 5

By the time you get this edition of the Reporter our Christmas Angels will be up -usually just after Thanksgiving and they burn until after Christmas.

On average it costs about $20 apiece for them to be lit during the Christmas

Holiday Season to keep them burning as a bea-con to all of the spirit of Christmas and what it is

we really celebrate …

We acknowledge those who

donate in the spring edition of the Rougemont Reporter each year.

Please consider sponsoring one or more of the angels … thank you kindly. You can

send checks made out to the Rougemont Ruritan Club to P O Box 63, Rougemont, NC 27572. Mark them for the Angel Fund.

Thank you very much!

Christmas Preparations

Late summer and fall have been busy for RE-

CA. We have worked on new hand-crafted

gifts for the children who will attend the De-

cember 5 Community Children’s Christmas

Party at the Ruritan cabin beginning at 6:00

pm. We have several traditional items, but we

like to offer new choices to the children who

come year after year. As many as 100 chil-

dren attend with their families. We provide

refreshments for everyone, a visit with Santa

for each child who wishes to speak with him,

the choice of a gift, a fruit bag, and the high-

light of the evening—a piñata. Member Lydia

Thomas has created these for us for many,

many years now, and she has never repeated

a pattern! Do come and see what she has cre-

ated this year!

Following the piñata, the event moves to the

Tree Lighting at the Methodist Church by

hayride. Once the lights are on, carols are

sung, and everyone is nice and cool, there is

hot cocoa and more goodies in the church fel-

lowship hall.

All children are welcome. Most of our parents

like to take pictures of their little ones with

Santa. The piñata is open to children from in-

fancy to around age 13. There have been

years that an adult without a blindfold has

had to break the piñata for the children to

scramble for its candy. The RECA and Ruri-

tan members decorate the cabin for Christ-

mas in time for the party, transforming it into

a wonderland until after the New Year be-

gins.

Community Christmas Dinner New Red Mountain

Missionary Baptist Church New Red Mountain Missionary will have its an-nual Community Christmas Dinner on Sunday, December 20th, 2015. The dinner will begin at 1 PM following the morning worship service. A Sunday School Program will be part of the fes-tivities.

Christmas in the Forties and Fifties in Rougemont

Christmas was a long-anticipated event in our household when I was a child. There was a lot of work getting ready, but it all helped to build the ex-citement. At church, there was always a pageant with shepherds in bathrobes and towel turbans.

There were many warnings, “Santa Clause is comin’, and you had better be nice!” We always heard from Daddy about his Christmas stocking (we never filled ours—just hung them on the mantle in the living room under the mounted deer head)---when as a boy, he was rich with an apple, an orange, some stick candy, and wonder of wonders; one year, a little pocket knife with a pearl handle. He still had it.

Up until the year my mother passed away, we always had Christmas Eve at our house. My half-sister and half-brothers who lived close enough by to travel would come and bring all my nieces and nephews. We kids were tasked with putting all the gifts under the tree for later, and there was a great deal of shaking and rattling by the time those gaily wrapped bundles made it under the prickly cedar boughs at the bottom of the tree. Even though the adults drew names for gift-giving to the children, with one family having eight kids, it wasn’t hard to figure out who had drawn whose names long be-fore those packages got to the “Brick House” (I never knew why the whole family called our house that) to be opened.

Back then, trees were never put in a holder with water or stood in a bucket. They were sawed flush and nailed to two short boards crossways to balance the tree. From the time the tree was cut wherever we found it, it began to dry out. By the time a week or so had passed, the lights could be left on only if someone were keeping a close eye out for smoke or flames. There were no tiny twinkling lights yet for us. We had the large bulbs that actually screwed into the cord and were colored red, blue, green, a goldish yellow, and the bulbs got very hot after they were on for a while. We used lots of silver and gold colored, bushy garlands round and round the tree from the angel at the top to the thin, wide cedar limbs near the floor. Ornaments were cherished from year to year, and in most years, we either made new additions or they were bought at the dime store in Durham. Woolworth was a favorite haunt for me when Mama made her bi-weekly trip into town to shop for anything Daddy could not get in his general store on Roxboro Road. Most of the ornaments were of glass: some blown, some stamped, some molded; but all bright and shiny. The very last addition to the tree was shiny, silvery tinsel. It was carefully straightened and packed away at the end of Christmas and generously scattered over the whole tree. It took us just as long to un-decorate and pack up the tree decorations as it did to decorate it before Christmas.

My half-siblings were grown before I was born, so going with one of them and their youngsters to do an errand was an everyday thing for me. One year’s search for the right cedar tree for Christmas stands out. My brother Russell took one of my nieces and me with him to pick out one. We rode around the edges of the fields, looking. Most were too big. All were shaped not quite right. After an hour of this, my brother stopped the pickup in the middle of a dirt road next to a field we had rented to plant tobacco the summer before. He took out his hand saw from behind the seat, and walked over to the fence. It was nailed to trees all the way down the road to the cor-ner. (Continued next page)

Rougemont Reporter Page 7

(Continued from previous page) Two trees down, the fence post was a cedar. He sawed it off a foot above the top row of barbed wire and dragged it to the truck. The tree that looked just right from the road would not fit into the bed of the truck. Russell grunt-ed, told us girls to stay out of the way, and cut four feet off the bottom of the tree. It went into the bed all right, but the top dragged off the tailgate onto the road. Russell grunted again and cut three feet off the top—flat. When we got home with the tree, it had to be trimmed on the sides all the way around before it could be dragged through the front door and stood in front of the three front windows.

That tree became a legend. There were no feathery fronds to hang ornaments from—just nice, sturdy little limblets. The lights were unusually easy to fit around the tree evenly. Even the angel who had graced our trees for many years was more firm-ly fastened on the tree than ever before. There was one tradition, however, that did not change. At night, we went to bed with the angel facing the French doors into the dining room. The next morning, without fail, that little angel would be turned to the west, facing the deer head, which naturally curved to the east. We straightened her every day and told each other the angel and the deer had had a nice conversation during the quiet night.

--Patricia Russell

Cooking at Christmas in the 1950s Although Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner were at our house each year, my mother was not the on-ly person who participated in preparing the feasts. Preparations went on through the year. Christmas Eve supper before opening gifts was usually Mama’s Schofield soup with crackers: a hearty vegetable soup with her canned soup mixture (butterbeans, corn, and tomatoes) out of the summer garden plus potatoes and onions and corned beef. Her seasonings were always a guarded secret, but there are a couple of cook books around yet (community fundraisers) that have her recipe. Aunt Faye’s recipes for cream pies: chocolate, vanilla cream, coconut, and lemon always held pride of place on the buffet in the dining room. Mama was the only person in the family who actually liked fruitcake. She bought hers and then carefully soaked it occasionally from the first of December until Christmas Eve with either peach or scuppernong brandy. The flavor depended on which kind my Uncle Ed managed to brew during the late summer. There was never any of that cake left for the children. Adults ate first, then the children, so Mama always made sure there were lots of desserts that the adults were not so keen on in addition to her much-requested pies. ……………………………………………………………...continued next page

Rougemont Reporter Page 8

Christmas Cooking continued…. She always baked a coun-try ham studded with cloves and pineapples rings. She would soak the ham for a day and night, trim the skin and fat away, and bake it in a slow oven until the bone slipped out. It would be sliced on Christmas morning: the end pieces going into her hot biscuits, and the “purtier” slices

on platters for dinner. In those days, dinner was served around 1:00 pm on Christmas Day. After all, the “kiddies” had to have a little one-on-one time with whatever treasure Santa left during the night. There were always creamed vegetables, Illinois Dutch style: potatoes, cab-bage, butterbeans, corn, sweet potatoes (no brown sugar/pecan topping or pies, thank you), parsnips, and turnips. Turnip “sallet” and a side pitcher of “pot likker” with tart apple cider vinegar were always handy. Of course, no meal was complete without hot biscuits “to fit the hand” and a nice, large pan of yellow corn spoonbread. Coffee was served with the meal, but dessert usually waited until everybody “had room.” Our dining room table was reserved to special occasions, but with all three leaves in, could seat 14. There would be at least three sittings for the adults, then one or two for the children, and then “the kitch-en” (Mama and my older sisters, who had waited on the first sittings). By the time this was done, the adults were ready for dessert and coffee before going home for a nap. All the dishes would be washed yet again (all the women pitched in during each sitting to stay ahead of the crowd), and the desserts

on the buffet would be sliced, served and disappear. More cream pies were brought up from the basement along with Mama’s chocolate cake, coconut cake, and my sister-in-law Marie’s German chocolate cake. My favor-ite was the mincemeat pie. We don’t see real mincemeat any more, but back then I had plenty of opportunity to anticipate.

When hogs were slaughtered after the weather got cold enough, it was my job to scrub the hogshead and feet after Mama singed the hair from them. The feet were pickled and re-served mostly for Daddy, but the souse meat from the hog’s head was left for me to pick from the bones. It was not a messy job because the brains were removed on butchering day and cooked with eggs for breakfast (something I always avoided, but Daddy relished). Mama boiled the head until the meat was nearly translucent. Once I picked the bones clean, the meat was canned for making mince-meat at Christmas. The week before Christmas, the apples Mama had dried on the porch roof in the late summer were ground up. Spices were ground up, too: allspice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nut-meg—all dried and carefully preserved. Raisins Daddy got through the store were not seedless. They were dried on their stems in the bunches as they grew. They were carefully picked and soaked before they, too, were ground for the mincemeat. The kitchen was a wonderland of fragrances in its own right from the week before Thanksgiv-ing forward. We never had a turkey, but we had stew hens and pans and pans of dressing. One of my sisters loved sage, and there was one pan just for her with enough sage to flavor all the rest. Onions were peeled and chopped by the gallon.. The week after Christmas, Ma-ma had a rest. My sisters took turns scrambling eggs and frying sausage sliced from the cheesecloth rolls Mama stuffed and hung in the smoke house at hog killing time for breakfast. Daddy always commented that having sandwiches for dinner the week after Christmas was “a dadlem shame after such good vittles for Christmas.” Personally, a biscuit with Mama’s (and my) churned butter and her wild strawberry preserves along with a cold glass of buttermilk, was all the feast I wanted: break-fast, dinner, and supper.--Patricia Russell

Rougemont ECA Rougemont Extension and Community Association is always busy. This fall we have taken Halloween pumpkins filled with goodies to the residents of Ma-ple Heights Rest Home, prepared dinner for the Ru-ritan Club two months in a row. Our group made a field trip to Scrap Exchange and JoAnn’s Crafts to buy supplies for materials to make our gifts for the children. Some of our members also scoured the fields and byways for cones and seeds to use in our decorations. President Katie Newton attended the ECA State Convention in October. Secretary Teresa Elliott coordinated purchase and construction of our storage building. We purchased, constructed, and prepared our out-building for storage of our Christmas and craft mate-rials. It stands proudly in the line of outbuildings at the Ruritan Cabin. The active members of the club all helped with putting up the building. Several Ruri-tan members assisted as well. In October, we named the building in honor of our beloved Mildred Aiken, a long-time member of RECA who passed away in January of 2013. Sandra Peele, a current member of RECA and Mildred’s daughter, along with her brother, donated the funds for the building. We appreciate their thoughtfulness and are enjoying Sandra’s faithful participation in all we do. We have changed our meeting time each month on the fourth Tuesday from 6:00 pm to 4:30 pm. We have several members who have difficulty driv-ing after dark, and for the duration of the winter now that daylight-saving time has ended, we will aim for getting finished before dark. --Patricia Russell

GENTLY USED SHOES

We gently remind our com-munity members that RECA is still collecting gently used shoes for a not-for-profit agency who take the donated shoes and match them with people who need shoes, but are unable to buy them. Many of these people are children or elderly. Another vital group who need this footwear are people who are looking for jobs, but have no appropriate shoes to wear for an interview. Even slippers are needed because there are shut-ins who need shoes. There is still a box located in the corner of the main room of the Ruritan Cabin for donations of shoes. We had a sizeable batch of donations in late summer, but have received only a few pairs as fall has settled. When you take stock following the Christmas gift-giving season, instead of tossing those outgrown sneakers or that pair of slightly tired running shoes, those replaced slippers or work shoes (any type—brogans to heels), please consider bring shoes to the Christmas Party or pass them along to any RECA

member. Several families have donated shoes when a loved one has passed away, leaving behind shoes for which there is no longer a use. The need continues to be great.

Our community continues to be blessed. We hope to ship your donation early in the new year!--Patricia Russell

Millard Thacker as Provided By History Speedway Group Welcome to Living History in the Making

In Hillsborough, we have a long passionate history in motor racing. Our racing roots go all the way back to the first year of NASCAR - 1949 - and beyond to the fine tradition of moon-shiners running and gunning their powerful modified stock cars over rural roads of North Carolina always outpacing the revenuers in hot pursuit. In 1947, Bill France, Sr. flew over Orange County and sighted the horse racetrack of General Carr. Moving swiftly, France made the General an offer he couldn't refuse to purchase the racetrack and make it ready for NASCAR's inaugural season in 1949. Over the next twenty years, NASCAR's boldest drivers raced against one another on the .9 mile dirt oval. Fonty Flock, Curtis Turner, Herb Thomas, Bill Blair, Jimmie Lewallen, Fireball Roberts, Tim Flock, Joe Weatherly, Cotton Owens, Ned Jarrett and Richard Petty dueled for glory and very little prize money to create the thrilling tradition of NASCAR. The sheer excitement of racing brought tens of thousands of fans to Hillsborough for the 32 bullet-paced racing events over a 20 year period - until a group of clergy pressured local government to outlaw racing on Sundays. In 1968, Richard Petty won the last race held at the Orange Speedway, and the Speedway languished in disuse, neglect and decay for the next 38 years. The Racers Reunion In 1997, a group of historic preservationists arranged for the acquisition of the Orange Speedway property from the France/Staley family, and the inaugural Celebration of the Automobile Car Show and Racers Reunion was hosted by the Historic Speedway Group 10 years later. The property is owned by the Classical American Home Preservation Trust and managed by the Historic Preservation Foundation of North Carolina. The mission of the Historic Speedway Group is dedicated to the Preservation and Restoration of the Speedway. Every year, the event expands beyond the commemoration of racing history and now includes the Celebration of the Automobile Car Show and Cruise-In along with a host of unique exhibitions, photo opportunities, press conferences, and award ceremonies. Check their website at www.historicswpeedwaygroup.org . Today the Racers Reunion provides an intoxicating atmosphere combining speed, history, and the powerful drama of stock car motor racing with an exciting mixture of racing drivers, mechanics, team owners, and NASCAR celebrities.

NOTE: If you have coronary heart disease or are at risk for it … overeating (some Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners can top 4000 calories) can be dangerous! - - A study of nearly 2000 heart-attack patients suggested that a single act of overeating could quadruple a persons chance of having a heart attack on the same day! Triglyc-erides - a fat found in the blood after a large meal can sometimes cause coronary artery inflammation, a prelude to a heart attack.
