"If we have as cold a winter as the summer was hot, it will be doozy. I tell you, I dread this coming winter," Mrs. Lane said from her home on Crab Orchard Mountain. "Signs are all around the house and on the mountain. Look at those new dirt dauber nests high on our porch wall. The daubers know. They want protection for their ·1arv'ae. And

there are more black wooly worms than I can count. "Spider webs are everywhere, but they're also just inches from the ground," she said. "That clearly means a cold winter." Mrs. Lane, 60, said she had counted four heavy fogs and that indicates the southeast and East Tennessee will have at least four big snows. "The old timers used to say,
as hot as the summer was, then winter will be just as cold," she said. Mrs. Lane, who still lives in the modest home where she was born, said she heard a katydid chirp on July 14, which indicates the first frost will come three months later.

United Press International President Carter won the .backing of a million-member union and campaigned in Philadelphia, Pa., Wednesday for Democratic unity, while Ronald Reagan named economic advisers to help him with the campaign's No. 1 issue. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which supported Sen. Edward Kennedy during the primaries, endorsed Carter but the union's president Jerry Wurf said at the White House the president still must win over the rank-and-file membership. "Our recommendation is no guarantee," Wurf said. The 250,000-member United · Transportation Union in Cleveland · also endorsed Carter and set a goal of generating one · million votes for his re-election bid. ) Afterward the president took a helicopter ride to Philadelphia where - at the suggestion of Sen. Edward Kennedy - he pleaded for party unity from the pulpit of a black Baptist church. Carter said Kennedy had telephoned him to urge greater stress on the unity theme, and the president responded by appealing for support from liberals and others who might have back~d Kennedy in the primaries, reminding them what happened 12 years ago when Democrats were similarly divided. "I need your help in this election," he said. "In 1968, many Democrats did not work for Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon was elected. The great strides in civil rights under John ~ Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson came to a screeching halt ... The poor and minorities, working

"The bark on the trees is snarled, about like .it was last year. I' ve not se en any squirrels, so I don't know how thick their fur is ..The thicker the fur, the colder the winter.'' she said.
