IKE MISSING SOUTHERN
COOKING
Greensboro Daily News)

"No Southern Food For Ike
During Visit" This headline from
the Atlanta Journal refers to the
generals speechmaking tour of At
lanta, Jacksonville and Miami. He
ate all his meals on his plane.
Well, where would he have found
Southern food" in any of those
places? Not in the hotels and
restaurants; food has been STAN
dardized in those; it is good but
it is no more Southern than the
food in Oregon or Maine.
Tourists coming south with their
mouths watering for the much pub
licized delights of Southern fried
chicken, old country ham, "batty
cakes with lacey edges" ct cetera,
are naturally disappointed.
cooking is bad, but it is not espec-
tally Southern. A good meal is
hard to find, you always get the
other kind.
There are three kinds of South
ern cooking-and only three kinds
as far as we know-which are
good. Indeed they are so good that
it is difficult to explain their pres
ence on a sinful earth except by
the mercy of Providence.
They are:
a. Folk, or outdoor, cookery.
Included in this category are the
old-fashioned fish fry, as describ-
ed in "The Green Pastures; coun-
try Sunday School picnics; and
barbecue. The barbecue we are
talking about is a private affair
in which a young, tender and in
nocent pig is cooked all day in a
pit in an oak grove with spring
hard by for chasers; the pig is
basted with a mixture Of red pep
per and vinegar, and is eaten on
the spot while the fat is still crisp
and the flesh is still warm. This
barbecue bears the same relation
ship to wayside "Bar-B-Q" as a
Brahms violin concerto does to a
Bing Crosby Groom.
(2) Home cooking. This at its
best is as good as any in the world
1t is a matter of buckwheat cakes
made up the night before, turkey
with oyster dressing, fried chick
en- which is in but not of this
world, three-year-old country ham,
tipsy cake and so on. This is cook
ing which is almost a fine art; Ger.
! tainly it has been handed down
from generation to generation. II

Answer to question No. 3:

horizons into which they look. A
people of generous heart and in
nate courtesy little shy of
strangers at first but outgiving
people once they trust you.
All the storm and cry against
the proposed park takes the
angle that this land of mystery
and romance and rugged natural
appeal will be destroyed if the
Seashore park is created. We hear
people ranting to the effect that
the park will undo the place and
make it a banks of hot-dog
stands, neon signs and hurdy-
gurdy.
That's all wrong. A paved high
way now is completed from near
Manteo down the banks. People
are coming. Tar Heels and people
from far away. They have heard
of the strange banks and want
the feel of the place. They are
coming in droves. They started
coming even before the highway
was completed and many of them
got stuck in the shifting sands
and went away cursing the day
that brought them that way.
The opposition to the Seashore
Park plan says that the people of
the banks should be allowed to
develop the place themselves. All
of us know that most of the ode
velopment" would come from
outsiders who would put down a
stake. This development" will
assuredly take the form Of terri
fic banal commercialism. Let the
Banks go that way and in IS
years the tourist would find it
hard to get out of sight of the
neon signs winking "Joe's Place. 81
eat" Dine and Dance" and the
like. He will be unable to hear
the surf for the hurdy-gurdy.
That's the way the banks are
heading. That's the way it will
be if the Seashore Park idea
fails.
If the Seashore Park is set up,
the Outer Banks will be saved
for posterity as they are today.
The whole idea would be to keep
them unchanged. To save them
for those who come after place
which stirs the heart and lifts the
soul above this material earth.

SHELDON O'NEAL PROMOTED
TO CHIEF PETTY OFFICER

Sheldon O'Neal of Manteo, now
in charge of Kill Devil Hills Coast
Guard Station has been promoted
to Chief Petty Officer, as of Sept
ember /. Chief O'Neal is one of the
most popular young men in the
Dare County area, and his rise in
the service has been steady. His
wife is great-granddaughter Of
the late Capt. B. B. Daily, whose
exploits at Cape Hatteras were re-
Gently recounted in this and other
newspapers. He is the son of Mrs.

pompano en- papillote, crepes SUI
cite, and host of other New Or
leans dishes may be equalled else
where but are not surpassed.
The sad truth is that tourists,
unless they have some Southern
cousins, are not likely to find what
so proudly we hail as Southern
cooking" until they get as far
South as New Orleans, and then
they are practically out of the
South.
No wonder General Eisenhower
didn't get any Southern cooking.
He wouldn't have had time to do
justice to it if he had got it.
Furthermore he wouldn't have
been in any condition to carry on
his campaign.

Answer to Question No. /:

Healthy individuals between the
ages of Is and go usually can give
blood five times year with safety.
Donations should be properly
spaced so that the body can re-
place the blood removed before
the next blood is given. People
over sixty should rarely, if ever,
give blood. In the aged, the ability
to rebuild blood is diminished.
Answer to Question No. 2:
Most calcium obtained by the
human body comes from milk and
milk products. There is some cal
cium in green leafy vegetables
Broccoli, kale, mustard green's
turnip greens, and water-cress are
the best of these. Canned salmon

OTHER EDITORS
THE HIGHEST BID FOR
TIE FARMERS VOTE
John w. Hester in The News
& Observer)

To The Editor: I have read
your editorial comment in today's
Sept. 81 issue on the speeches of
the presidential candidates on the
field of the blowing contest at
Kasson, Mimi, last Saturday; so,
also, have l read what Thomas
L. Stokes has to say about the
same subject.
But my opinion, for whatever
it is worth, is that it was sordid
from beginning to end, an exhib-
ition of all-time low in political
philosophy, for there we are
shown what candidates will do in
the quest of votes. Whether you
look at it as a partisan of one
side or the other, you must adj
NIT it was an open bid for the
farmer vote - an auction, as il
were. at which the farm vote
was thought to go to the high
bidder. No thought of patriotism
permeated the performance. lie
must have been nauseating to
the farmer who places country
first, if there are such, and / be-
lieve there are.
You give preference to the Ste
venson approach, claiming that
he was within the Democratic
platform, and that Eisenhower
strapped the Republican plat
form and went it alone; that
Stevenson has background sup
port for his position, while Eisen-
hover is faced with the record of
party hostility in his bid for the
farm vote.

SEASHORE PARK WOULD
SAVE OUTER BANKS
(Goldsboro News-Argus)

The idea somehow is abroad
that a National Seashore Park on
North Cardinals wonderful outer
banks will somehow destroy the
feel of the place; that it will spoil
them and make them different
from what they are now.
1t seems to us that this is far
from the case.
The charm of the Outer Banks
is their strange rugged isolation.
To one side Old Ocean pounds
with her rhythmic tide. A little
ways to the other side is the
Sound with its calmer waters.
The winds blow constantly and
with force. The Graveyard of the
Atlantic celebrated in the tales of
the sea since Colonial days is
hard by. The Gulf Stream cares
ses the narrow sandy banks with
a soft hand and gives to the
lonely places a warmth unusual
for its location in the world.
And the people. Good people.
People kept alone to themselves
for hundreds of years. People
who have assimilated something
of the constancy and steadfast-
ness of the land where they live.
A brave people whose deeds have
stirred the blood as they have
time and again proved them
selves heroes on the ships at sea
when disaster hit. A people
whose eyes reflect the calm far

POE AND POETRY
(FrOm the DOthan (Ala.) Eagle

One, of the more familiar poems
in American literature is "The Ra-
ven," by Edgar Allen Poe, the au-
thor of some of the most beauti-
full poetry in our language. Prac-
tically everybody who can read
can quote the refrain:
"Quoth the raven,
Nevermore."
That's poetry. 1t would have
been quite different if Poe had
written merely: "Said the crow,
"No."

Yes, if this condition is treated

be all that is needed. Sometimes a
comparatively minor operation is

Mr.. Ground Hoo
Saw His
Shadow In Spots

BY international News Service.
If the grounding is any harding
er Of what to expect in the way
of wheather in the next six weeks,
some Ohioans will be using snow
shovels while others are spading
earth.
The grounding saw his shadow
in a few scattered points thru-out
the state, a fact which traditional
ly has been understood to mean
the continued presence of winter
for six weeks.
But, Forecaster Milton Davis
added, many other points were so
clouded that the grounding could
not see his shadow, which could
lead to the conclusion that spring
is not too distant although tradi-
ton maintains a discreet silence
as to the significance of his fail
ure to darken the earth with his
reflection.
At any rate, Davis continued,
the mercury climbed above the
40 degree mark in the north por-
ton and we'll above the SO degree
mark in the south.
Some light rain fell at scatter
ed points, particularly in the south
where the rains O fthe past two
days have created a "rising trend
in the Ohio river.
Davis said the intermittent
showers would continue through
tonight and Sunday, but he said
they were not expected to be
heavy. Not much change in tenn
p%eratures is seen.
