The Tar Heel Kitchen
by Miss York Kiker
in oays gone Dy, tunes were
m hard and there was talk of the
J it..
return to prosperity when
everyone could have a "chicken
In the pot." We are living in
2 prosperous times when North
: Carolina is an outstanding leader
J- in the poultry industry. Broilers
are plentiful and reasonably
priced. Not only can we have a
'chicken in the pot" frequently
but they can be prepared in so
many ways you coul-3 have
chicken every day for a long time
." . without repeating.
My thoughts turned to pld
fashioned "chicken slick" or
pastry which would be enticing
these cold winter days. The
. search for a written recipe has
failed to provide accurate in
formation to pass along to you. It
has been interesting to talk with
different people for suggestions
but apparently most folks make
pastry by instinct.
One of the men specialists
takes self-rising flour in a
quantity to make desired amount
of pastry, adds a small amount of
cooking oil and enough water to
make a soft dough. He rolls the
' dough very thin and cuts into
strips. He adds the pastry to a
" stewed chicken and the boiling
broth. (Chicken may be a hen or
large broiler-fryer. Cut into
serving size pieces, if desired,
? before cooking in a generous
amount of salted water until
tender.) Cover pan and cook
'f. pastry approximately 15
minutes.
If you have a favorite recipe
r" for chicken pastry, perhaps you
t would be kind enough to send us
" 'j a copy to the tar Heel Kitchen,
. N.C. Department of Agriculture,
Markets Division, Raleigh, N.C.
27611. Tell us whether you ever
; use the term "chicken slick" and
any information you have on the

'Handicaps' Can 'Be Conquered
Says Golf Champ Arnold Palmer
By ARNOLD PALMER
Honorary National Chairman
The National Foundation- -March
of Dimes
Wouldn't it be great if
medical science could be as
successful in wiping out
birth defects as it was with
polio!
I have joined forces with
the March of Dimes in the
campaign to do this because
I know of the good these
people have done and the
worthiness of their pro
grams to help children born
with defects.
I have seen my father, who
was afflicted with polio at a
very young age, live a com
pletely normal life without
encountering any real setbacks.
He is still hard at work,
though in his mid-60s, and still
plays a pretty good game oi
golf.
A lot ot children born witn
defects can overcome their
handicaps and lead something
close to a normal life if given
the proper help. That is cer
tainly one goal, nut tne menial
part of being healthy is as im
portant as the physical part,
and it was that part that im
pressed me about Marty Mim
Mack, the national poster child
for the March of Dimes.
Living With Handicaps
Marty and I met when we
worked together shooting a
film for the 1971 March of
Dimes campaign drive. There
is quite a bit of difference be
tween my father and Marty.
Marty's handicap is far more
serious. He was born without
arms and with a hip defect
that made his left leg three
inches shorter than his right.
In my father's case, polio
left him with a limp but no
other severe physical handicap.
He reacted normally, I think,
to the fact that he would have
to live with his handicap and
decided to make every effort,
physically and mentally, to
overcome it. He has done so
and I feel that taking this at
titude at the start made it a
lot easier for him.
This will be a lot harder
for Marty, particularly as he
grows older. So far, in the
short time that I have known
him, he seems to be able to
handle his problems pretty
well, which is a good sign for
the future.
highway deaths down
The nation's highway death
toll for 1970 dropped sharply,
Indicating the government's auto
safety standards are beginning
to pay dividends in human lives.
This survey by the National
Highway Safety Bureau indicates
a decline of 1,100 deaths from
1969.

DETERMINATION is what It takes
vent birth defects, says golf great
Chairman for the March of Dimes.
Marty seems to have ac
cepted with very little diffi
culty the fact that he is crip
pled and will be handicapped
for the rest of his life. The first
thine for a person with a
handicap to do is to recognize
that fact and what goes with it
and make the very best of it.
Marty has done this totally.
Making Those Putts
In fact, he seems to recog
nize and accept his situation
much better than people who
become handicapped later in
life. One thing that is involved
is the way people react to
someone who is handicapped.
Adverse reactions could easily
get a youngster like Marty
down a bit and perhaps lead
him to put up a barrier be
tween himself and others. I
don't believe Marty has done
this.
When we worked together
making the film, I saw in
Marty a determination to do
all that he was asked to do. He
was determined to make those
putts. It's something a good
golfer must have determina
tion to play to the very best of
his ability. You can't take a

I think that those of us whoi

that these young people arq

themselves to some degree, as
much as is physically possible.
It is the same with a golfer.
You show me a golfer who is
a winner and I'll show you a
person who feels in his mind
that he can make the difficult
shots, cope with the pressures
of the competition and defeat
the course or the opponent.
That's how we have to feel
about birth defects. Everybody
in America and the world
should be concerned with and
support the efforts of the
March of Dimes and its thou
sands of volunteer workers.
You never know when the dis
eases and other causes of birth
defects might strike home.

The Perquimans County vieekly, Hertford, N. C, Thursday, January 21, 191 - Page 3
SENATOR
SAM ERVIN
SAYS
WASHINGTON - The 92nd
Congress which convenes next
week faces a massive agenda of
unfinished business carried over
from the waning days of the old
Congress. On the legislative
calendar will be controversies
centering on the President's
family assistance plan, trade
quotas, military defense and the
draft, funding of the SST plane,
limitation on political campaign
spending, and the priorities in
the federal budget.
Two new proposals are also
certain to generate much debate
in the coming months. One is the
President's revenue sharing
proposal to make block grants 'o
the local governments. Hard
pressed communities are
counted upon to urge Congress tc
adopt the measure to give them
tax-relief, but the truth of the
matter is that the nation is
already committed to finance a
budget beyond its revenues and
the only money that the Federal
Government can give the states
and local communities will have
to be borrowed. The other major
proposal that is likely to develop
into a national debate is theplan
to establish nationwide healtli
insurance with new subsidies for
health care.
Even so, the battle areas of the
new Congress are likely to be the
issues that caused the fights c.l
the last Congress. Generaih
these were: how to divide up the
budget expenditures, what to do
to bolster a faltering economy,
how to curb the flood of imports
into this country which destroy
American jobs, how to revamp
the welfare system, and whal to
do to better control en
vironmental pollution.
As usual the overriding
question will be where to spend
and where not to, and this looms
large at a time when Americans
are pinching pennies to make
their own budgets balance.
