Davis Sons, Publishers Yugoslav Maimers, Customs Community Ambassador Tells of Trip Abroad Miss Carolyn. .Covington, Ra leigh’s community ambassador to Yugoslavia this past summer, spoke to the Junior Women of Zebdlon at their October meeting Tuesday night. Miss Covington, blonde, blue eyed, gracious and graceful in a ~navy faille princess- line dress, charmed her audience with her soft Southern accent as she told of her experiences, the manner and customs in the semi-iron cur tain country ruled by Tito. She stated that she selected Yu goslavia because she wanted to learn more about the Moslem re ligion. She knew this country’s peoples were predominantly Mos lem in faith, and she said she wished to learn more about it. She was fortunate* for when she arrived at the station in Sarajevo the family who met her was of the Moslem faith. Little Sarajevo, she said, is considered by some his torians to be where the spark was set off that caused World War I. The family she lived with were of the upper class. The father was a lawyer and the mother was a tal ented pianist. Two of the four children were being educated for a doctor and in music. The speaker said their home was covered with some of the most gorgeous Persian rugs imaginable. Every floor in the home, down to the kitchen had these exquisite oriental tapestries on them. “Mommitza — that’s what we called the mother — was a cook par excellence,” Miss Covington said, “During the six weeks I lived with them I gained 10 pounds. Oh, such rich pastries, sauces and exotic meats.” The meat was mainly lamb, she said, fixed in every conceivable way and at every meal. For breakfast the family en joyed boiled milk and brown bread. Sometimes there was honey or jam. At lunch there was usu ally a creamed soup, and, of course, lamb. “Every shopkeeper closes his business on the dot at 12, and stays closed until 4 o’clock,” Miss Covington said. “Almost everybody takes an afternoon siesta.” Around 5 o’clock it is tea time, and from 6 to 9 o’clock the main (Continued on Page 7) Talented Pair At Baptist Church Sunday The Rev.
