Photo by Emily Killetto Dennis Rogers Defends Title In Grape Stomp Contest By Emily KlUette The third annual Wine and Grape Day was held Satur day in Rose Hill, with news paper columnist Dennis Rogers defending his title as champion grape stomper. The Wine and Grape Day is an annual event sponsored by the North Carolina Grape Growers Association. President Burl Williamson of Clinton participated in the event with a biscuit and grape jelly exhibit. Also, Williamson presented the public with grapes from his vineyards. The public toured the Duplin Winery and sampled the wines and visited vineyards where a grape-picking machine was in use. Guests at the Wine and Grape Day registered to participate in the grape stomp, tote and throw. A "Good Things Made With Grapes" contest was spon sored by the Duplin County Agricultural Extension Service and the Duplin Winery. Williamson said he was delighted with the success of the winery in Rose Hill and the annual Wine and Grape Day. Williamson is the owner of 43 acres of vineyards. "I would never have thought a winery in this area would be a success, but then, I would never have thought of putting The Country Squire restaurant in Kenans ville, either," Williamson said. "David Fussell has done a tremendous job pro moting the winery, and that's what it takes to make any venture successful." Represented at the Wine and Grape Day were news media from across the state, including the new PM Magazine camera crew. And, interested persons attended and entered the grape day contests from across the state and country. Returning to defend his title as champion non-cele brity grape stomper, and member of the winning grape throw team was Dana Wilson of Wilmington. Wilson teamed with Mark Dana at the 1979 Wine and Grape Day, and won the grape throw with a 162-ft. record. Wilson returned this year with Michael Cruze, also of Wilmington. "Michael is really talented with his mouth. He easily catches popcorn and crackers and things," Wilson said. "And. Fve been practicing by throwing seashells." Wilson and Cruze placed third in the grape throw with a 183-ft. catch. Both Cruze and Wilson are students at UNC-W. Winning the grape throw were Fayetteville residents, David Horner and Phil Pol lard with a new distance record of 192'/a feet. Placing second in the grape throw were Turkey natives, Marty McGee and Sammie Hudson, with a distance of 189 feet. Winning the grape tote was Johnny Harned of Wil mington. Harned sped through the obstacle course in a record time of 1:32. Harned was attending the Wine and Grape Day for his first time. "This is a real grape com munity gathering," Harned laughed. Wilmington resident Robert Crawford, also a stu dent at UNC-W won the non celebrity grape stomp. The celebrity grape stomp was won for the second year by News and Observer colum nist Dennis Rogers. Last year's phantom of the grape stomp, capped and masked horseman Zoro, who stole the trophy from Rogers' hands in 1979, stomped to finish second in the celebrity grape competition. And, the 1980 Miss Poultry Queen stomped to a third place win among the celebrities. Concluding the contest events and the announcing of winners, members of the 82nd Special Forces from Fort Bragg parachuted onto the old Poultry Jubilee fair grounds. Rushing through the crowd, one of the soldiers jumped onto the speakers platform and stole the grape stomp trophy from Rogers' hands. "This thing gets crazier every year," Rogers said as the stomping trophy was returned. TAR HEEL TEXTILES NORTH CAROLINA TEXTILE WEEK "THE LOOK OF LEADERSHIP" SEPTEMBER 29 - OCTOBER 5 North Carolina's textile industry of the 1980's is vastly different from what it was 10 or 20 years ago. Take a look at then and now. One might be surprised at the skilled employees, the clean plants, and the modern machinery which makes North Carolina's the most productive textile industry in the world. They say in the food business that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. In textiles, the proof is in the use of the products. And when it comes to quality, price and variety. North Carolina's textile industry is number one. The last year ? 1979 ? was generally considered a good year for the textile industry. Nationwide textile shipments totaled nearly $47 billion, up 6 to 7 percent from 1978. About one-fourth of the nation's textile industry is in North Carolina, and it's estimated that between $11 billion and $12 billion in textile shipments originated here. It should be pointed out that 6 percent growth includes inflation. Real growth is closer to 2 percent. And this reflects an increased effort at exporting, as well as moderate growth in domestic areas. Te*tilp P*nnPt? in 1Q7Q uZ#?rp at a rf*nt\rr\ !*?*/*?! Because of more aggressive sales efforts and to a devaluation of the dollar, textile exports increased nearly 50 percent, putting the industry in the black insofar as textiles are concerned. There is still a considerable trade deficit with apparel ? about 4 billion last year. But, combining textile and apparel exports, the industry is making progress. This growth in textile production last year is reflected in wage increases and plant improvements. Wages were up more than 7 percent and fringe benefits have increased. Overall textile employment declined less than one percent to about 893,000 people, about 250,000 in North Carolina. Employment decline was offset by a productivity rise of about 4 percent, compared with an all industry average of about one percent. The textile industry's expenditures for capital improvements and equipment reached SI billion for 1979. A major portion of this will go to meet government regulations and to provide for energy saving equipment. 1 he textile industry has one ot the highest equipment spending ratios of all American manufacturing industries. For example, during 1976-78, the textile , industry spent 80 percent of its retained cash flow for new plants and equipment. This compares wi:h only 56 percent for all manufacturing industries. While productivity, wage increases and capital expenditures for the industry compare favorably with other manufacturing segments, earnings do not. Textile earnings in 1979 are expected to be only three percent of Sales, compared with nearly 6 percent for all manufacturing. Theme for the special week will be "BEAUTIFUL ? Tar Heel Textiles" and will be seen on bumper stickers, in newspaper ads. on T-shirts and billboards. Editor's Note: Several Duplin Textile Plants have advertisements in this edition saluting their employees during North Carolina Textile Week. 0^ Lynn Carroll Matthews Crowned Miss Poultry 1981 By Emily Kiliette ?
