If the story told ire by Foy Keene
the other day is an old one, it’s so
old we’ve forgotten ever hearing
it before.
It seems a preacher, following
his morning service, went home
with a family for dinner. In this
instance it was a family that pos
sessed little in the way of worldly
goods.
There was food aplenty, at least
for the Sabbath, but the sOver
wasn’t sterling and the china was
as inferior as it was limited. In
a million different ways they were
just poor folks, struggling to get

along.
No poor family ever lacks for a
dog, and this one had the run of
the house. He barked and growled
at the parson during the course of
the meal, and no amount of threats
by the host and hostess and their
considerable assortment of young-
uns could hush him up.
“What’s bothering him?” the
preacher asked, as he gobbled up
everything within arm’s reach.
One of the kids promptly provid
ed the well stuffed minister with
a ready answer. “You’re eating out
of his plate,” the tot explained.
So Collards Grew
In Palace Garden
Housewives shopping local vege
table counters recently have had
an unusual item to purchase or
pass up. Right there on the sign it
said collards from the Tryon Pal
ace gardens.
Of-course, if you wanted a piece
of streak of lean-streak of fat to
go in the pot, too, you had to buy
some plain old pig at the meat
counter.
So far as we know. Governor Try-
on didn’t raise his own hogs. Even
if he did, we doubt seriously that
there’ll be a pig sty on the Palace
grounds any time soon.
It’s nice to know that the Gover
nor was a collard eater. All the
time we thought he was one of
them high toned English gents who
preferred tea to pot likker.
Now that we’ve discovered that
they cooked collards in the Palace,
we hope some historian will find
out how the Governor’s wife got
rid of the smell.
Earns High Grades
Alma L. Ringgold, a New Bern
pianist and organist who teaches
as well as she plays, is currently
attending the summer session of
the St. Louis Institute of Music.
Incidentally, Alma received a
grade of 99'/t on a recent Topical
Survey completed for the Art Pub
lication Society in St. Louis.
Commenting, the Society’s board
of examiners said, “The compre

is the evidence we find in your

Princess Hobby 1$
A Busy Gal Incleed
New Bern’s Connie Hobby need

Thanks to fast trains and faster

Her final week has been no ex
