By Wl I.IMIN OWENS
ALBA was as white as an
Easter rabbit with all 472 resi-
dents tucked in under a blanket
cf snow. It was Wednesday of
th% week, and when I drove in-
to the service station X didn't
know I was going to meet a man
whose mama and papa had
named him for their favorite
p.ow,
Purt near all my forefathers
planted by moon signs and I
respect the zodiac I was born
under the sign of the fish
i pistes i and when I smell a
good story 1 Just naturally get
into tne swim So M E Jones,
who was baiked up against the
stove, cast first bait like this:
''.Mr. Owens that man servic-
ing your station wagon can give
you a good story. Not a long
story, but what we call a heap
unusual Pact Is. if it was long,
he wouldn’t tell it. but ask him
what his full name i* and how
come he has it ”
WPt T , <3’b I've known M F
a long time. He owns a wrought
ilon works in (hand Saline and
other places and runs a big
1.500-acre spread with an 11-
tnum house in the Grit com-
munity I knew that he knew
what he was talking about. So
I took his advice and got plumb
personal with the station mana-
ger, who was built like he could
throw a bear and never lose that
devlish grin behind reddish
sandpaper completion.
''Say," I said, ''What's your
name?"
He turned and stared. The
question had come too quickly
and right then I knew it
So I a|silogized for my inti-
mate piobing and explained that
he had liven described as a man
with a name that was twisted
around a unique circumstance.
"My name is not to unusual.”
lie said "Fact is. it’s one of
the best known names in th?
country. But 1 think that the
n.ost unusual part of my story
is the fact that I did not even
have a name until I started to
school when I was might near
7 years old.”
I COULDN'T stand it any
■'longer. So I fin'd point blank.
“What’s your name? Your full
name .'•
“J. I Case Youve seen it on
farm equipment and especially
plows all your life I was named
for a plow. Until 1 started to
school the whole family always
called me Big Un or Jasper or
seme such handle. The first diy
I was heing carried to school,
we passed a turn plow and we
could read the lettering. J I
Case
'Th' folks said. 'Let's Just
call him J. I. Case for th’ plow
people. We gotta name him
somethin’. And you know at
chool for th' longest, 1 wouldn't
fe quick on th'daw when they
called the name on th’ roll and
they'd hafta come back and
punch me.”
