Smeden i Hou
Skatten er ikke på koordinatet!
For år tilbage var der en del forskellige erhverv i Hou . Foruden fiskeri erhvervet var der flere købmandsforretninger med kolonial og ugeblade og Brugsen med alt fra kolonial , manufaktur, lingeri, brændsel , grovvarer mm. Der var snedkere , rutebilforretning hvor man selv byggede sine rutebiler.
Der var også en grovsmed hvor byens mænd holdt til for at få en hyggelig sludder og de sidste nyheder. Smeden forarbejdede metal , skoede heste, satte nye skafte på brækkede skovle mm.
Smeden var en afholdt mand, og de sidste 25 år af sit arbejde hævede han ikke timelønnen.
I byen fandtes der også et mejeri. Når dagens arbejde var forbi havde man indrettet det sådan at Hou’s beboere kunne få et varmt bad for 25 øre pr. person. Dette tilbud benyttede smeden sig af i mange år, og han havde fast tidsbestilling hver lørdag kl. 17.00 året rundt. I 1960 blev prisen imidlertid sat op til 50 øre. Dette tog smeden fortrydelig op og kom ikke mere.
Smeden virkede til sin død og blev 90 år gammel. Smedien er stadig intakt, men benyttes ikke mere.
