Abstract:
Being from eastern North Carolina you can always recall the sweltering heat and humidity of your youth. There was no air conditioning to give us relief. Those hot nights when there wasn’t a breathe of air, only small electric fans, and the chorus of every dog in town barking kept weary citizens up all night. In 1935, the Pitt Theatre began to have cooled air. In 1943, Olde Towne Inn advertised they were the only air-conditioned restaurant in town. There were hot days working in tobacco and hot churches where the congregation would “endure a little heat for the Lord.” Advertising fans from stores, tobacco companies and funeral homes always provided a little relief. In 1981, Ida Wooten Tripp, a local writer, wrote a wonderful story in the local newspaper about remembering a particular hot day in Pitt County in her youth.
