*r Nt Thanks to Gordon Blow, I’ve teamed more about chitterlings from a magazine article be brought in recently. The article has to do with “The Chitlin’ Strut,” which began in 1966 at Salley, S. C„ with a population of 430, When the mayor organized the first Chitlin’ Strut in order to raise some money to purchase new Christmas decorations. The article stated that a curious 1,000 showed up, ate or didn’t eat the chitlins, did the strut, went home and told their friends about the affair. So the word spread and people came from far and wide so that five years and five struts later 12,000 tickets and 4,000 pounds of chitterlings were sold. The event is held in November and one of the cookers said, “Lord, we’d never cook 4,000 pounds of them things in the summertime for that smell would kill every green thing growing. Fortunately the late fall winds carry the aroma out to the tree toads of the night and by morning the town is clear and clean.” And for some, like myself who never heard of the things until landing in North Carolina many years ago, anatomically, chitlins are the intestines of the hog and as far as I knew, about the only use they were put to was for sausage casings. (Gosh, I must have eaten the bloomin’ things ‘ after all). Anyway, the tube-like chitlin is stretched out and scraped down, then turned inside out and scraped again. They say three lengths are braided together, boiled until tender, battered and deep-fried. Then after all of this preparation. I’d say about the next best thing to do is throw the mess out the window. O The Albemarle Choral Society is scheduled to present the oratorio “Elijah” Monday night at 8 o’clock in Edenton Baptist Church. Os course, this music will be a far cry from some of the junk called music which we hear on some of the radio and television programs. It will be a splendid example of good and inspiring music, so that the church should be filled to capacity, and the only charge will be a free will offering. According to plans Edenton’s Christmas parade will be held this (Thursday) afternoon at 4 o’clock. It ' will probably awaken the Christmas spirit in some people which, in some cases, might have been dormant for about 12 months. On some previous occasions it was cold enough to freeze the Christmas spirit when the parade was held, so here’s hoping today will be a balmy day, something like some of, the days we had a little over a week ago. O The Laura Harrell Sunday School Class of Edenton Baptist Church held its annual Christmas party Monday night and, like all of those covered dish meals, just about anything good to eat « was piled on the tables. Mrs. Doris * Toppin was one of the big wheels in arranging the affair, and said the class «. invited husbands of members, some * friends over 65 years of age as well as some men and women who had lost their wives or husbands. Mrs. Toppin t especially invited yours truly to attend, the supper, maybe because I qualified in the last two categories. Or maybe § she just didn't want to see a Methodist go hungry. I learned, too, that West Leary must have a “sweet tooth” for | one of the ladies placed durn near a whole cocoanut pie in front of him for dessert. ’Anyway, like they say, § “everybody had a good time.” And with so many bloomin’ Christmas parties scheduled these days a lot of us are having a dickens of a time keeping up with ’em. Which reminds me that the Scottish Rite Club will hold its Christmas party Friday night in the Masonic Temple, and that will be the | case of a fellow having to be very (careful not to eat too much. ° In driving along the highways these days one sees two new kinds of signs. One reads “55 MILES PER HOUR” and the other much more affecting motorists, is “NO GAS” posted at the | tanks of the majority of the filling * stations. Things are getting in a mell ot a hess. I O Frank L. Ward, up Norfolk way, says time goes so swiftly and that it •was time again to send a check for his renewal to The Herald. “I look forward ""to The Chowan Herald each week,” be said. “I like to know what’s going on. I was hi Edenton this summer and had a very pleasant trip. I always enjoy going down there.” I The Chowan County Shrine dub held nfflcun • Carlton lydilarf ■ C B. vie# OFSHiiQBtf Toro ifiihmT' ' ■ w - VyT 4 *‘e ■ J-- Public Purade This is especially true in approaching the problem of additional mwtrol manpower and greater access to health care. That is aa area in which false dawns have settled an many of us, including not a few editors. , As a member of the old Board of Higw Education, I was chairman of the committee which recommendfd that, instead of a two-year medical school, : a first and fourth-year program be instituted at East Carolina. That was approved by the 1971 legislature and the first-year program begun, but not much has been done to date about the fourth year. I did buy the idea that it would be more economical to “beef up” the existing schools than start a new one; but I have since discovered that when they speak of beefing up these schools, they are talking about money, not meat. ! To achieve a small increase in the number of North Carolinians admitted, we have already appropriated around S2O million for capital improvements at tee UNC-CH school and hospital and have committed the state to subsidize Duke, Bowman Gray and Meharry by approximately $2 million annually, soon to be $3 million if present plans materialize. Byway of comparison, ECU was asking only $10.5 million in capital and $3.5 in operating funds to launch its two-year program after the legislature authorized it back in 1965. I now believe ECU could have managed it and could have achieved accreditation had it been able to arrange for the transfer of a class of 40 to some third- and fourth-year institution. It was the shortage of clinical teaching facilities that moved the Board of Higher Education Committee to recommend the first- and fourth-year approach and limit the class to 20. It was suggested back then that area hospitals be used for clinical training, an idea that is now being carried out in the AHEC program. " Now, since the Board of Governors has said it wants to locate an AHEC facility in Greenville, it seems to me only to make sense that the second-year be added there so that students may go directly from the ECU campus to AHEC rather than continue to shuffle between the two campuses and the clinical training colters. As for comparative, costs, competent authorities suggest that it can be done as economically on the ECU campus as it can on other medical school campuses in the state. And, as for further study, forget it. There have been no less than eight studies made of the subject since 1965, some of them in great depth and at great expense. It we study this problem much longer, the people of North Carolina are going to begin studying us. In closing, may I wish you continued good health to the end that you may never have to discover the doctor shortage. Sincerely, JayHuskins “Elijah” Continued from Page 1 made by the Old Testament prophet to preserve the one spiritual God concept among his people, the Israelites; a concept which ultimately became the core inheritance of the Christian faith which in tin has transformed the barbaric and pagan practices ot other peoples of the world into what is now termed western civilization.

' Judge Fentress Herder said there was ‘loo much not knowing in this case to suit me.” He cited several instances which left doubt in his mind and weired heavily on his decision. John Lee Holley, 25; Joseph N. Twine, 20; jmd Don Junior Bembry, 17, all of Route 3, Edenton, were the defendants. Solicitor Keith Teague objected strongly to the judge’s decision, saying the state had presented sufficient evidence to have the brio bound over for trial in Superior Court. He had, however, been unable to obtain positive identification of Twine as one of those who allegedly raped Mrs. Rita.. White, 204 Blades Street. Mrs. White testified that she was picked up late at night on Hicks Street after leaving Cooper’s Restaurant on North Granville Street. She said Holley forced her ROTC Studied The possibility of a Navy Junior ROTC program at Holmes High School is now at hand with the report of Cmdr. Donald Kilmer, Program Manager, sth Naval District, stating that although the high school is a bit smaller than the usual school with this sort of program, there are other assets that tend to cancel this factor out. Cmdr. Kilmer toured and inspected Holmes High School and was present at the Edenton- Chowan Board of Education meeting Monday night to give the members an overview of JROTC. He stated that it is not strictly a Navy thing, but involves other branches of the Armed Services as well. He also said that although the program involves Naval Science and some drilling, the idea is not necessarily to create an interest in a military career but to create “good, solid citizens”. Under the proposed [urogram, are as eligible for fqfi training as are boys. This is an elective course and a student may drop the course at any time. There is no obligation to continue with an ROTC program in college, and there are no mandatory service requirements. There may be scholarship opportunities through JROTC for the enterprising student. Creditation on the subject is handled fully by the school. Instructors are furnished by the government. Typically, it was reported, there are two instructors. One is a retired officer with a baccalaureate degree and the other is a retired Chief Petty Officer with or without a baccalaureate degree. Uniforms, maps, charts, and related equipment are furnished by the Navy. Supt. Eddie Westsaid that [dans call for the JROTC [urogram to being next fall. Hie original [dan calling for three new tennis courts in the Holmes High urea may be revised to two courts, instead, Mrs. Emily Amburn and Morris . Small reported. They met with town officials recently to discuss the project. It has been determined that the most suitable location tor the new court complex will Ini adjacent to the existing courts in front of the high school. A new cafeteria for D. F. Walker School seems to well in the making. An artists drawtag,of the new facility is completed, and the board noted only slight changes in equipment from what bad been previously proposed. i v.i. - Thursday, December 6,1973 §g t£oi2SS! h South Brood Street.
