Remembers riding to Cane Valley on horseback for groceries Once, in World War II, on one trip, they forgot a ration stamp, and almost didn't get the sugar they had walked miles to the store, from the Smith Chapel communmity, to get. Rationing was a serious business in those days. By Clara Smith Rodgers Seeing the old bank building in Cane Valley. brings back so many good memories. When I was growing up in the 40s and 50s. My dad and I would go to the store there where Mr. Frank Hutcheson was the man who owned the store. We bought gasoline there for the old model A. My dad and I would ride a horse and go get groceries before we got the Model A. We didn't live that far away. It seemed a lot farther back in those days. I remember my mother and I walked to Mr. Hutcheson's store to get the flour, sugar, and coffee. This was during the war time. I believe it took a war stamp to buy these items. My mother had forgot her sugar stamp. We almost didn't get our sugar. The nice man that Mr Hutchison was, he told her for my dad to bring the stamp the next time he came. He said if the goverment came to collect the stamps and he was short, they wouldn't let him have any more sugar.There was a doctor there in Cane Valley, also. I believe his name was Dr. Akin. My dad would take me to the Dr. on horse back. These were hard times, but we all had respect for our neighbors and relatives. It was fun growing up way back then. Thanks, Ed. I really enjoy ColumbiaMagazine. I Left Columbia in 1960. My heart is still there. I love to come back and visit often. They have the best food at Betty's, and other places there in Columbia. Can't wait for spring and summer. We haven't been back to Columbia this winter. It has been a very bad winter here in Indiana. Oh, by the way. I remember Joe Hare. I went to school in Cane valley with him. He was in a lower grade than me. -Clara Smith RodgersA Postscript: We lived back in the Smith Chapel area community way back then. I attended the school there at the time. Mrs Virginia Phelps and Miss Frances Banks taught at our school. We didn't move to Hutchison until 1952. I attend school there until I believe was 1954. At that time they built the school in Cane Valley. I attended Adair County High until 1960 when I came to Indiana. This story was posted on 2010-02-24 05:40:13
