The Northeastern North Carolina Porkfest over in the Isle of Pasquotank takes the blue ribbon for originality this week. For this reason, the news item is passed along just as we received it: Dear Pork Lover, Picture a mouth-watering plate of steeming sliced or chopped barbecue. Add a few spare ribs, ham biscuits, chitterlings and sausage sticks. Try a pork burger. Finish off that plate with French fried sweet potatoes, cole slaw, hush puppies and a favorite beverage.” “Hold that thought because on May 1,1962 that Southern culinary vision, sprinkled with live country music, will crane true at the second annual Northeastern North Carolina Porkfest.

Selected variables from Chowan County are compared with North Carolina as a whole, 14 Southern states and non-South states. In 1978 there were 3,767 Chowanians between the ages of sero to 18 years.

The percentage of these children living poverty in Chowan totaled 28.3 per cent ; 10 per cent higher than in the entire state and more than doubled the figure in non- South states. And the infant death rate between 1975 and 1979 was 10.3 per 1,000 live births here while it was 16.7 statewide, and 13.7 in non-South states. That is where the simularities stop.
