her son LYLE took part in the play ^ Happened Here. This play by Ruth
Barbour tells of historical happenings in Carteret County before and during

BY 'I'Hii, TIME you read this, a Chinese restaurant will be open and, we trust,
packing you into their spot on the Salter Path Rd., right side of street,
going west, about five miles west of PKS.
a real family venture; Mr. James Chow, his wife, and his six
chia^dren will all be in on making the James Chow Chinese Restaurant a winner.
Iir. Chow has been in this country about five years, living in Jacksonville,
having worked on a Marine base in HongKong before that, and he's been looking
for a place to have a restaurant. Now he’s got it; since his family will
be in the kitchen, he knows he'll have no prolDlem with "quality control”,
and they were all bustling about the day wo called on them, getting ready
to open the following day. He says it took five weeks of intensive prepara
tion before they could get, as he said, "square away", A peek at the menu
discloses that the choices are many and varied, including both Cantonese
dishes and the newly popular Szechuan style food. l^r. Chow gets his
supplies from both Norfolk and Now York, and showed us his enticing pantry
as well as his cold storage room (with the egg roll noodle squares all ready
to be folded) and their two enormous v/oks (woks are those round bottomed pans
used in Chinese cooking).
The Chows appear to be a friendly and earnest family; they should do well
in our area - after all, haven't wo been waiting for son.ething new in eating-
away-from-home?

Granny's Doughnuts which they buy fresh from Granny’s on Arendell Street in
Morehead. And all the rest of the day, they serve hoagios and subs - a
Choice of three or four fillings on 8 inch rolls. The dairy bar has sUch
temptations as banana splits, hot fudge sundaes. Old Timoy ice cream sodas,
and oven a Stay Slim Split which Jack tells us is sherbet v/ith low-cal
toppings. There are tables, of course, but for the old timers among us.
