Page B8 Wtns(on-Salcm Ch Barbecue: By LIBBY CLARK Syndicated Columnist Since the beginning of time and the cycle of evolution, everything "new" turns out to be "old hat," and so it is with the present barbecue craze of cooking with wood instead of charcoal. Cooking with wood is as old as civilization. Neanderthal man did it, the . Indians did it, our forebears did it, the pioneers did it, and we're back to discovering how wholesome and tasty meat, fish and vegetables can be when barbecued and/or roasted with wood. What can be more inviting than a succulent, juicy steak barbecued over hickory wood, southern style? It's best used for steaks, chicken, wild game and even fresh tuna and halibut steaks. , Alder is a fragrant wood, with a more delicious aroma than Itirlion triKac in Kl?i> iaivnv/1 J II1UIUI1 II II/V9 III HIV. 11UI " . thwest used alder to smoke their salmon, oysters and other fish.

Oak is versatile, with a mellow outdoor aroma reminiscent of , campfires and summer fun. Thick steaks, chops, fish and - ducklings are enhanced with oak wood's "heady" flavor.

Cooper wants Silvers as the base for other ventures he is planning. Eventually, he hopes to discover and promote local talent. The talent and gong shows are steps in that direction. 441 would like to "give them some incentive to keep doing what they are doing," he said of the people he debuts in his club.

Because of the in tense heat it produces, mesquite chips and chunks can be used to flavor a variety of foods well, from pork to chicken to vegetables. Spice is nice, but so are woods and the flavors they bring to barbecuing. Remember, wood chips or chunks can be the sole source of cooking fuel, or they can act in combination with charcoal. Add four to six wet chunks to the redhot, ash-covered charcoal; the same imparts an extra-strong smoky flavor to the barbecuing food. For the best results, soak four to six wood chips or one cup of wood chips in water for about two hours before cooking time; then place them on the hot coals. , When the chunks start smoking, begin cooking. The more chips or chunks you use, the more powerful the flavor. For direct cooking, the heat source and the product you are cooking on grill or rack should be in horizontal positions; with indirect cooking, the product is protected by foil or roasting bags from the direct heat. Using the wood of your choice, here are some delicious recipes for your next barbecue or 1 - COOKOUl.

Last week, Cooper added cookouts every night the club is open, except Sundays, to Silvers* activities. Menus feature fish, spare ribs, chicken or hot dogs and hamburgers. For S3 club members get all the food and draft beer they want, Cooper said. In July he plans to start mailing a monthly news flyer to inform members of the cookouts, contests and bands scheduled for each month. And he can include information about the Lady Bombers, a womans Softball team sponsored by Silvers. The Bombers will compete in a world championship tournament in South Carolina next month, cooper said. Cooper has had experience owning other local businesses.

Cooper w?s one of 0nly four bjack, students enrolled in white schools in North Carolina in the late 1950*8. Two of the others were his sister and another girl who enrolled at Eastnn F.lemi?ntarv when he did. The fourth was a girl at Reynolds High. "In 1958 I remember going to school under police protection," he said. When he would start out in the morning to walk the three blocks to school, a patrol car would be parked at the curb in front of his house. As he moved up the street, the police car moved with him. "It made national news," he said. He had a few fights with other kids but there were no major incidence of violence. He made friends and played sports the three years he attended Easton. But he was always "side stepped" for parts in school plays or holiday pagents. And he was never invited to the homes of any of his white classmates. An atmosphere of prejudice exsisted around him, he said. One teacher HHHtiMiHumwmmnitimMMMUMiWMiHitwiwmttwi r uviinoi 3 (u^uauuua.
