Page Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, August 30, 1968 t , I I Washington Report — By — CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES Since the Congressional re cess which began on August 2, I liave had the pleasure of visiUng throughout tlieDistrict. Some of the impressions that I have gained are that the major ity of our people in the First District are growing more con cerned over the invasion of the Federal Government into the lives of our individual citizens. 1 find that most of you are equally concerned over the gen eral breakdown of law and order and to say the least, a general feeling of frustration prevails. On the plus side, 1 find that our crops, especially tobacco,show evidence of being one of the best in years. I have had the plea sure of visiting theOuter Banks and find that the tourist trade is S«t Thln9s Straight In TNs YMr '68 By Votiag Republican -DEXTER WILLIAAAS ALL-SEASON AIR CONDITIONING warms or cools at a touch! ^he S.

This includes the great production of “The Lost Colony," which is having the best year in its long history. Incidentally, Uils is the oldest, continuous outdoor sum mer drama in the UnItedStates. This is due to the improvements in the production which are made each year. Another matter which comes to my attenUon as I travel Uiroughout the District is our lack of adequate, modern high ways. Certainly, the next ad ministration has an obligation to do much in the way of Im proved highways for eastern North Carolina, more than has been done in the past. For without the necessary highways, we cannot continue to attract the tremendous tourist trade for which we have the po tential, or for that matter,con tinue to attract industry without adequate means of transporta tion. In spite of the deficiencies In highways, we are doing well In the area of new industries which have seen fit to locate in. our First District, but this attrac tion of industry needs to be em phasized contlnously. It is my hope that before Congress reconvenes on Sep tember 3, to visit all the coun ties within the First District. Many of you have asked which counties now constitute the First District. They are as follows: Beaufrot, Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Hertford, Hyde, Gates, Jones, Lenoir, Pamlico, Perquimass, Pasquotank, Pitt, Martin, Tyrrell and Washington. I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them. —Ralph Waldo Emerson. J. W.

To help prevent shrinking, spread meringue to the edges of the pie pastry so it has something to cling to during baking. Bake in a moderate oven (326 degrees) for 16 to 20 minutes. Numbers Best One reason given for con verting ihe world’s telephone dialing systems to numbers is that letters cause trouble in overseas calls. The Danes have no "W” on their dial. English- speaking users associate the letter "O” with zero, and the french dial includes "Q”. Sweden and New Zealand have no letters at all on their tele phone dials. What's a meringue? It’s a delicate mixture of well-beaten egg white, sugar, salt, flavoring and air, that can do wonders in the way of eye and taste appeal for a pie, pudding or other delicacy. A Swiss baker gets credit for discovering this interest ing confection in 1720. Soon after, ail courts of Europe adopted it. Marie Antionette supposedly made meringue by dropping the egg and sugar mix ture by spoonfuls onto a bak ing sheet in the form of dainty kisses or shells. May is a good month, says USDA's Consumer and Mar keting Service for Southeast ern homemakers to feature meringue-topped desserts. Eggs—the main ingredient for m er ingues—are unusually plentiful and are attractively priced. The Consumer and Marketing Service offers some handy tips for making meringues. They suggest separating egg whites and yolks carefully. Even a . speck of yolk in the white will prevent It from beating up to full volume. Traces of yolk may be removed with a paper towel or piece of egg shell. Avoid any fat on the beater or bowl. Even a trace of fat or oil will limit the height to which the whites can be beat en. E^ whites beat to their greatest volume at room tem peratures. Beat the egg whites “stiff" as possible, or until firm peaks are formed when beaters are removed. Even though stiffly beaten, the egg whites should have a shiny, moist appearance. For a larg er foam, add a pinch of salt before beating. In adding sugar, allow 2 table spoons of sugar for each egg white. When adding the sugar to beaten egg whites, doit gent ly. Sprinkle about one table spoon of sugar at a time over the whites and beat only until it is dissolved. Repeat until all sugar is used. If too much sugar is added at any one time, the egg whites will have a “marshmallow" quality and will lose their lofty peakes. After all the sugar has been added, beat un til the meringue piles well. For a meringue that cuts well and is flavorful, add le mon juice before beating. In topping a pie with merin gue, be sure to cool the pie filling first.
