In her latest movie, Carolyn

from her early-day pioneer
woman of the MGM-Cinerama
drama, “How the West Was

she plays Red Buttons’ fiancee,

water. BoU ten minutes. Add
clams and tomatoes. Simmer
ten minutes longer. Fry salt
pork until crisp. Dice and add
to chowder. Fry onions In pork
drippings until golden, and add
to chowder. Season with one to
two tablespoons of Worcester
shire sauce. Season to taste.
We hate to be disloyal to
anything that carries a New
Bern label, but deliver us from
anybody’s clam chowder that Is
ruined by adding tomatoes.
We’ll gladly settle for this re
cipe—Carterey County clam
chowder, also in the booklet.
You’ll need one quart of
clams, chopped; two medium
sized potatoes, cubed; one
medium-sized onion, choked;
one quart of water; salt and
pei^er; one-fourth pound of salf
pork, cut in small cubes. Corn
meal dumplings are suggested
too, but why add them?
Fry pork until crisp and
brown. Add potatoes, onions,
clams and water. Simmer until
potatoes are done, adding water
to keep mixture from becoming
too dry. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Cover tightly
and simmer for fifteen minutes.
You’ll have clam chowderj
at Its best. !
MORE SCHOOLS FOR AFRICA
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone—
This West African nation, with
100.000 children In school,
hopes to have universal free
education by 1975. But present
expansion Is half the rate re
quired to reach the projected
470.000 enrollment. To help
villagers build more schools,
CARE delivers packages of con
struction tools as gifts from
Americans who donate funds
through Its U. S. offices.

When Preston Robinson was
named New Bern’s Chief of
Police, the news Item appeared
In State papers. Among those
who read It was Mrs. Kate B.
Griffin of Route 1, Rose Hill.
With Preston’s permission,
we’ll quote from the letter she
wrote him as a result. "I know
you think I have forgotten you,’’
she penned. "I saw In the News
and Observer that you had been
named Police Chief. Congrat
ulations!
"I did not know what had
become of you, so when I saw
this I decided I’d write and let
you know 1 still think of you
as my sweet little first grader
46 years ago.
"There have been many
changes since that time. I am
an old gray haired woman now,
but have been blessed with fairly
good health, and I am active
for my age.
"I have been a widow nearly
five years, and have four sons
and twodaughters—all away ex
cept one son at home with me.
I pass through Cove City some
times, but all the faces I see
are strange to me. I did see
Alfonso Hardison’s mother not
long ago, and she had changed
as much as 1 have.
"If you have time, I surely
would appreciate hearing from
you, and knowing how life has
been with you over the years. I
shall always love my little pu
pils.’’
We wanted to print Mrs. Grif
fin’s letter to a first grader she
has remembered almost half a
century, because It Is typical of
the way many dedicated
teachers feel about the tots who
look to them for guidance In
their early years.
Preston was deeply touch
ed by the letter, and you may
rest assured that we will answer
It promptly. Like Miss Mollle
Heath, Miss Lizzie Hancock,
Miss Eleanor Marshall, Miss
Louise Bell and Miss Ruth
Berry, to name only a few,
Mrs. Grlffln Is obviously a
woman who gave her heart to
the children she taught.
