holidays.

Wash and drain huckleberries

flour. Sift dry ingredients and cut

in shortening. To this add liquids

and beaten egg. Stir floured

berries in quickly, don't mash

are just one of the mouth-

melting delicacies that have

made the Crescent's kitchen

famous.

JOHN DURANT went to Cooperstown,

New York, the birthplace of baseball, to do

research on his book, "The Story of Base-

ball", liked it so much that he bought a

couple of farms nearby and pulled out of New

York City for good. He gets much of Coopers-

town's appeal into his "My Favorite Town"

piece in this issue. He has written four books

and appeared in most of the national maga-

zines. His wife, Alice, pictured above with

him, taught herself photography and now

takes pictures for much of his work. The two

photographs in the Cooperstown story are hers,

as was the photographic reference for our

illustrations.

ALFRED W. EIPPER, author of "King-

Size Grouse," sent the following bulletin in

response to our request for biographical

material: "I was born in Montague, Massa-

chusetts, in 1919. When I was eight years

old we moved to a paper mill town on the

north shore of New Brunswick, Canada,

where hundreds of square miles of wilderness

offered unlimited outlets for my interest in

wildlife. During the war I spent two years in

the Pacific Northwest, including eight months

in Ketchikan, Alaska. At present we are

located in Orono, Maine, living a parasitic

existence under the so-called G. I. Bill. I

received a B.S. in wildlife conservation from

the University of Maine last June, and am

at present engaged in graduate work which I

hope will lead eventually to a Ph.D. in fishery

free-lancing and cattle, we're a long way biology, providing I am admitted to the

from retiring."

Cornell Graduate School."

As a newspaperman in western Massa-

chusetts for the past eight years, ROBERT

HODESH (author of "New England: the

Nation's Summer Schoolhouse") has served

as a one-man self-elected promotion agency

for the area, having written innumerable

stories about almost every aspect of life in

that corner of Yankeeland. He says, "My

opinions (mostly high) of our barn dances,

New England architecture, concerts, back-

roads, handicrafts, people and history have

been published by newspapers, magazines and

advertising agencies. Before becoming a

reporter I had a spell of teaching music to

the children of Hoboken, New Jersey, just

after college. When I discovered that I could

play a prettier tune on my typewriter than I

could on my pitchpipe, I switched over and

have been living happily ever since."

Free-lance photography in Northfield,

Minnesota, and raising purebred milking

shorthorns are two of the pursuits of ERLING

LARSEN who wrote and illustrated "North

Shore, Lake Superior." After spending two

years in the Pacific with the Navy's Am-

phibious Forces, Larsen returned to his pre-

war occupation of operating motion picture

theaters, but gave it up in 1947 to realize the

first part of a lifelong ambition: to move to a

farm and retire. "Now my wife, three

children and I are on the farm, but with the

northern Arizona comprise Monument Valley, notable

for eroded nubs of rock 800 to 1,200 feet in height. They are

called "desert skyscrapers" because they stand like spikes

driven into the flat ground. Just over the Arizona border, and

about 100 miles from the nearest hard-surfaced road, stands

Goulding's Trading Post, catering to the Navajos on whose

reservation it stands, and to the increasing number of tourists

who drive in to sightsee and trade. Commanding a broad

expanse of the Valley, and offering a choice line of Indian

handiwork headed by the noted Navajo rugs, Goulding's pro-

vides the answers to these two principal tourist requirements.

a sort

of scholastic exile, endured by the mentally eager and

forced on those who had the misfortune to flunk a regular

course. But school-studded New England has refuted this

theory for many summers with shirt sleeve courses that make

the most of the region's sunshine, scenery, and seascape. The

New England Council, Statler Building, Boston, with catalogs

and pamphlets is presenting this angle to students with the

result that increasing numbers are jumping at the chance of

combining vacation with education. One such school is

Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont, pictured above,

which attracts important writers each summer to its Bread

Loaf School of English (see "New England: the Nation's

Summer Schoolhouse," p. 21).

My Favorite Town-

Cooperstown, N. Y.

by John Durant

photographs by Alice Durant

sketches by Robert Boston after photos by A. Durant

TE WERE in Lippitt's jew-

elry store buying film

when a jockey-sized old man

nudged up to the counter and

picked up my wife's camera.

"A good box," he said, fon-

dling it. "Got one just like it

myself."

Moses Lippitt peered across

the counter and said, "Meet

Putt Telfer, oldest photographer in the U.S."

Putt nodded and grinned. "That's right," he said, "Been

taking pictures for 70 years. I'm 87."

"And he's been coming in the store four or five times a day

since I started here in 1894. We figured it out the other day

-1,200 visits a year. Totals up to 63,600 calls Putt's made

on me.'

Main Street, Cooperstown

Putt laughed and turning to us, asked, "You newcomers

here?" We told him that we'd been in Cooperstown less than

an hour. "Come on, then. I'll show you around," and he led

us out the door onto Main Street. We had found a guide,

a historian and a friend.

A step away were the offices of The Freeman's Journal.

"Established in 1808," the gold lettering said, and in the win-

dow on display for all passersby to see was an assortment of

pocketbooks, gloves, jack knives and watches. "Lost Articles,"

said the trusting sign. We began to warm up to Cooperstown

right then. We looked down Pioneer Street and saw the lake,

smith, who is the fourth generation of blacksmiths in his

family and who can chew tobacco and smoke a cigar at one

and the same time without singeing his side-burns. You will

see summer people sprinkled throughout the crowd and

nurses stiff in their white starched dresses, guarding tow-

headed youngsters. Looking along Lake Street, which fronts

the school, you are likely to see a coach-and-four, top-heavy

with laughing young people.

But you will not see Fenimore Boulger, the town's indestruc-

tible man, at the "Sing." Fenimore-a common baptismal

name in Cooperstown-will be at the ball game down the

street. Now 70 years old, the durable Fenimore has been mashed

between two freight cars, impaled on the iron pickets of a

fence from a roof top plunge, and was once thrown headlong

from a horse into the stands at the fair grounds. His most

recent accident, in which he sawed off the limb of a tree and

carelessly made the cut between himself and the trunk,

caused him to crash with such severity that it left him stone

deaf. The affliction, however, has made him the most satisfied

umpire baiter in the world for when Fenimore roars out of

the stands to protest a decision, as he does at every ball game,

he cannot hear what the umpire shouts back at him.

But Cooperstown is more than a collection of quaint and

colorful characters, more than a museum town or a sports

center. It is a friendly place of gracious living with a quiet

pride in its history and beauty and good manners. It is a

good place to live.

Fred Smith,

Cooperstown's blacksmith

New England:

the Nation's

Summer Schoolhouse

by Robert Hodesh

paintings by William Barss

NEW ENGLAND, the Little Red Schoolhouse closes annually

England that doe

Come July, the doors of all others are

flung wide to welcome students of art, music, photography,

dancing, the drama, sciences both social and exact, and a

galaxy of other subjects. New England, the biggest summer

schoolhouse in the country, is ready for the annual influx.

The summer sessions are here again!

New England summer studies offer a kind of ardent blend

of vacation and education. Classroom discipline is neither

stern nor rockbound. The birch rod and ruler are set aside,

and the deans and professors are relaxed in seersucker and

sun glasses. By night there is dancing, both barn and ballroom,

and star-gazing against a background of cricketsong, erudition,

and the sea.

It seems to make no difference how old you are, or how

young; much less what subjects you prefer. Somewhere in

New England there's a school that will fit. How to write a

poem, how to bait a hook, how to make a slip cover, courses

in the mistier outposts of philosophy, history and appreciation

of music, and the study of birds are random choices indicating

the variety to be found in the curricula.
