SARIS, spices and the TAI
Mahal-these invariably come
to mind whenever we read or
hear about India.
Well, we're fortunate. We've
seen the Tai Mahal, we have a
sari and we attended the annual
dinner of the American Spice
Trade Association.
Indian Theme
The theme of this eagerly
anticipated annual event was
Indian, the dishes featuring
some of the many spices that
come to us from there. Indian
cooks use spices most imagi-
natively in almost every recipe.
Since most Indians are vege-
tarians, curried vegetables fig
ure high on the national menu.
AS for curries, no two Indian
cooks prepare these by the
same recipe.
Two of the vegetable dishes
featured at the dinner were
Curried Green Peas and a fine
pilaff.
Curried Green Peas
To prepare the green peas
soften Il C. instant minced
onion and u tsp. mint flake:
in 4 C. water. Saute in 3 tbsp
butter with tsp. tumeric and Il

peas and tsp. salt. Cook, GOV
cred, 10 min. or until peas ar

Mild February Weather
Increases Highway Use

Proof that the public uses the
highways more when the weather
is mild is contained in two reports
by the Highway Department,
showing that travel in February
1861 was considerably above Feb
ruary of 1860, and that gas sales
increased over a year ago.

IS. c., branch of the NAACP and
of the Associations state confer
ence of branches reported that IA
members of the latest group of
Freedom Riders made full use Of
all bus terminal facilities upon
their arrival in Charleston, June
Ia.
The Riders, including Protestant
ministers and Jewish rabbis, were
welcomed to Charleston by Mr..
Brown, whose branch had ar
ranged overnight accommodations
at the request of Congress of Ra-
cial Equality officials.
Not only were police activities
restricted to the proper role OF
protection, but the Riders accepted
an invitation from Police Chief
William F. Kelly, transmitted
through Mr.. Brown, to visit him
at police headquarters. They thus
had an unexpected chance to see
a southern Jail from the outside,
as willing rather than as unwilling
guests.
Activity of the Charleston branch
in substantially increasing the mum
bers of registered Negro voters
over the past two years is thought
Ito have something to do with the
attitude of police and other munl-

NEW TYPE PHONE
SERVICE FOR AREA
NOW AUTHORIZED

A new long distance telephone
service was recentlya approved by
The Federal Communications Com
mission, according to H. Dali Hold
erness, president of Carolina Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
Designated as Wide Area Tele-
phone Servicea (WATS), the new
service will provide unlimited inter-
state calling within specified areas
for fls ut monthly rate.
WAITS is an optional service re-
quiring special equipment and de-
signed for customers who do a
large amount of calling to widely
scattered and distant points. 1t
supplements both regular long dis
lance service, which is charged for
by the call, and private line service,
which gives a customer unlimited
calling between two or more fixed
points for flat monthly fee.
With Wide Area Telephone Ser
vice, the customer pays monthly
rate for a special telephone line,
over which he can call any tale-
phone in certain other states as
aoftentas he wants and talk as long
as he wishes. He will not pay by
the individual call.
Monthly rates vary according to
the areas the customer wants to
reach and whether he wants the
service full or part time.
Under the tariff filing, a GUS
toner has choice of six prescribed
areas beginning generally with adj
jacent states. Area boundaries take
into account the size of the state
involved, as we'll as the number
of telephones in each. Buying the
first area, the customer would IN
effect pay a monthly rate for SER
vice to about ten per cent OF the
country outside his own state. In
the second area, he would get an
additional ten per cent of the coun-
try. The remaining four areas
would each add roughly another
twenty per cent of the country to
his calling area. Alaska and Hawall1
are excluded.
No matter which area customer
Buys, he can choose fulltime service
UNLIMITED calling "a hours day,
all month long) or measured-tlme
service. The latter would give him
is hours total calling per month
into his area for a flat monthly
charge If he exceeds this Is hours,
the customer pays a fixed charge
for each additional hour.
The company has not filed al
tariff with the North Carolina
Utilities Commission covering al
similar arrangement for service
within the state.
