Some of the old timers used to call Cookeville,
Cookesville. This is what our forefathers told us
when we studied town history in the Cookeville graded
school.
Cookeville graded school district took in as far down
as the Devins Brothers on the Bradford road and up as
far as the Turner place on the West Corinth road, and
the old Halsey place just above Maplewood on the
Maplewood Road, and up to the old Annis place on the

Claflin place, and up back of Waren Jones at the Wilson

Poland on a Sunday morning
are jammed with people
walking to church. In the
more rural areas, people
walk miles and miles to
church.
"Three hours south of
Warsaw we arrived in
Katowice, the capital of the
coal mining region and the
center of Silesia. Here lies
the heart of industrial
Poland. Here also lies the
most depressing part of
Poland that I've seen. It is a
sprawling region of coal
mines, rail facilities,
gigantic factory complexes
and grey, dreary, apartment
blocks that stretchas far as
the eye can see on the
horizon. There seems to be
no urban planning involved
and landscaping is non-
.e.istent. Like Gdansk,
Katowice was a Solidarity
stronghold and this was
evident by the number of
armoured personnel carriers
still blocking strategic roads
in and around the city.
"30 Kilometers south of
Katowice we entered
Oswiecim. Right before
Auschwitz I saw one of the
true signs that spring had
arrived in Poland. Sitting in
a nest that was situated right
on a telephone post was this
enormous Stork. These large
birds are very interesting.
They apparently have very
little fear of Man and con-
sequently build their nests
close to human habitation.
Many Storks nests can be
found on lamp posts, barn
roofs, and even on chimneys.
Each year Storks return
from Africa and come to
roost in the same nest.
"We finally arrived at the
Museum and going in with us
was a large group of elite,
Polish Commandoes in their
distinctive red b.rets. We
got there just in time to see a
25 minute documentary film
on the liberation of Ausch-
witz by Soviet troops. The
film was in Polish but the :
meaning of it was clear for :;:
everyone in attendance. It .:
was the toughest 25 minutes I

arrive on tractors, wagons
drawn by horses, and
bicycles. Yet the vast
majority of church goers
come by ,foot. The roads in
Poland on a Sunday morning
are jammed with people
walking to church. In the
more rural areas, people
walk miles and miles to
church.
"Three hours south of
Warsaw we arrived in
Katowice, the capital of the
coal mining region and the
center of Silesia. Here lies
the heart of industrial
Poland. Here also lies the
most depressing part of
Poland that I've seen. It is a
sprawling region of coal
mines, rail facilities,
gigantic factory complexes
and grey, dreary, apartment
blocks that stretchas far as
the eye can see on the
horizon. There seems to be
no urban planning involved
and landscaping is non-
.e.istent. Like Gdansk,
Katowice was a Solidarity
stronghold and this was
evident by the number of
armoured personnel carriers
still blocking strategic roads
in and around the city.
"30 Kilometers south of
Katowice we entered
Oswiecim. Right before
Auschwitz I saw one of the
true signs that spring had
arrived in Poland. Sitting in
a nest that was situated right
on a telephone post was this
enormous Stork. These large
birds are very interesting.
They apparently have very
little fear of Man and con-
sequently build their nests
close to human habitation.
Many Storks nests can be
found on lamp posts, barn
roofs, and even on chimneys.
Each year Storks return
from Africa and come to
roost in the same nest.
"We finally arrived at the
Museum and going in with us
was a large group of elite,
Polish Commandoes in their
distinctive red b.rets. We
got there just in time to see a
25 minute documentary film
on the liberation of Ausch-
witz by Soviet troops. The
film was in Polish but the :
meaning of it was clear for :;:
everyone in attendance. It .:
was the toughest 25 minutes I
believe I have ever gone
through. Children under 13
