The boys at the firehouse move the truck out so that people who find it too cold in their cars or tents can spend the night on the firehouse floor. The ladies of the P.T.A. serve home-cooked country ham, chicken and cake at the school. And if the guests get to roughhousing, hooting, doing clog dances and even drinking a little-why, nobody much minds.
