    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[J.F. Parker talks about his experience as a teacher with the mountain people living in Old Fort. Although he had never finished high school, he got a job as a teacher. He said: &quot;He was going to send me on to teach school whether I knew anything or not.&quot; He talks about the hardships living up there, how school attendance was often very low and the kids brought snakes to the schoolhouse. He says the mountain people were a different breed of folk and they understood that &quot;it takes a certain amount of failure in life to make a person what they should be.&quot; They were hardened, but strong and firm. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Dewey Helms, born in 1903, talks about working in McDowell County, North Carolina, in the early twentieth century. He came from a family of farmers and carpenters, and when he was old enough he began working in the furniture factory for eleven cents an hour between school terms. In 1923 he began working at the mill because the pay was better. He said the only other job you could get besides furniture and mill was the railroad, which didn&#039;t pay very well either. He eventually began weaving and repairing looms as a career.]]></dcterms:description>
