Rebecca Jones remembers receiving health care at the new Health Department in Rutherford County when she was a child:

Rebecca:  "And I was one of the first 'Blue Ribbon Students' groups organized there.  If you did such and such and such--a health chart every week for such a length of time--you became a 'Blue Ribbon Student' [. . .] [there]."

Rebecca: "Um-huh, that was the new Health Department when we first came to town.  Went through that.  Had to have our pictures taken.  I think I have a picture somewhere--a whole group of us.  If you took a typhoid shot, and you took this shot, and all these things, tested you for diphtheria, a whole bunch of things. Some people's parents wouldn't allow them to do that.  Oh, no, they were afraid of those shots and their kids were left out."

Jennings Jones remembers a funny incident while working for the Tennessee Power Company during the 1930s:

Jennings:  "Then, I would have to get back to work.  I had a 22-rifle with a telescope on it.  So when I was coming back from different towns, instead of coming the highway, I'd go the back way.  So I loved to practice my marksmanship out on those rural roads.  So he looked in there and said, 'What are you doing with that?'  And I said, 'Well, I dove hunt with that.'  Says, 'Oh, you couldn't hit a dove with that.'  I said, 'Well, I hit one occasionally.'  He said, 'Oh, you couldn't even hit my hat, my old hat.'  I said, 'Throw it up and let's see.'  Bam! "  

Rebecca:  "Hit his hat!"

Jennings:  "Put a bullet through it."
