The folks in Warsaw will provide them ? with airline tickets, plus the finest accommodations and a lot flim-flammed for three days last tall In New Orleans ao4 having bean disgusted with the filth both physical and mental of downtown New Orleans and with the general air of tourist trappery that New Orleans per sonifies. I'd say without any doubt that the lucky couple who win the all-expense trip to Warsaw will have a helluva lot better time than the couple ? ho wins that second prtas^ip^toy Coii 1 lift. South ? o I ilia k switched an insult into an opportunity to show people Who may have forgotten that the finest way of life fn this world today is hi Small Town America, and nowhere is Small Town America finer than in the State of North Carolina. . And hi all fairness. I have to add that the small towns of South Carolina are also included in this mise. .Not Columbia, however. I spent I2 hawrs there a year Or so ago and that was 11 hours too long. merce ana many local citizens come e i o ones -on*j? - Son Of A Gun hjMl?W ?????? I ' ??? I guess the biggest hog killing I was ever at was back when I was a youngster, and a former down the road from Grandpa. Mr. John, had planned to kill three hogs one cold morning. But Mr. John had foiled to notice the community sharp-shooter was still about, drunk from the night before. . .Mr. John made another mis take. too. He gave the sharp shooter a full box of rifle balls.. And before anyooe knew what was going on. that hungover sharpshooter had shot and killed thirteen hogs... But that wat $ little hog killing compared to the one I went to last week. I went to Cedar Rapids. Iowa to the Wilson Meat Packing Plant and them suckers running at top speed could kill and dress 980 hogs an hour.. .Now. THAT is a hog-kiUing. .That is 7,840 in an eight-hour day. . .Son-of-a-gun. . .And that doesn't count the steers and lambs that are slaughtered at the same time. . .And there ain't no such thing as t part of the hog they don't use. . . inc umy tiling in irasn cans is paper towels they use to dry their hands. . One fellow said they use everything but the squeal, but I think they found a. use for that. . .1 think they sell it tb the rock Vtrfoif.^SdMie sik' - sound like it anyway... 1 It'skinda unusual the way the trip eame about. I was just finishing up with Son-of-a-Gun last Wednesday when Charlie Sutton, one of the meat men from Quinn Wholesale came by and told my wife he would like me to go on a trip with him and take some pictures. Well, after several phone calls, she located me and told me about the trip. I thought she said Cedar Island. . .Well, I had just come from Cedar Island the week before. . . That is the jumping-off place before catching the ferry to Ocr a coke. .1 had spent about an hour there and had seen every thing there was to see.. .In fact. I even know it is 302 steps from the ferry dock to die ticlfet house.. I stepped it off twice.. But l,got up with Charlie and he said it was Cedar Rapids, Iowa. That put a whole nother picture on the subject. .1 mean, I have zipped all around Duplin County and most of North Carolina in my GMC pickup and VW, but taking off to Iowa. . .Now that is a bit far.. .Course, I was the second choice.. .They had a fellow lined up to go but at the last minute he backed out. . This made me a little leery, too. . ."If I were to go, when would we leave?" I asked. Charlie replied, "In about an hour". . . ."Then, when would we get back?". I asked. . ."Tomorrow night" Charlie replied. "We are going to fly."... Now, I have moseyed around a lot of places, but these people don't mosey.. .Charlie drove us to Raleigh-Durham Airport and about 15 minutes later, in comes this Wilson Company jet plane. . .The pilot comes into the lounge and asked if we are ready. . Charlie tells him we ? M A fnA1 tmolp MIIIISHM IIM ?ic. . . n iu?i uuvk is puiiin^ up to the jet end I asked the pilot where he is from, because he was talking with an accent.. .He says, "Copenhagen, but I live in Texas now. Can you tell by my drawl?" Some lady says, yeah, but I didn't hear no you-all or nothing. . .Well, in abfeut 15 more minutes, we were p this jet and that little CopeAagen Texan had that airptaaMMng straight up. . . ThenjJpeR screaming and them wiagRme shaking.. .and Joe was trying to look nonchalant while tMhfciqg about that wing falling off. . Finally he leveled off and I decided I'd better check out this fellow a little more.-. .So I went up front. . ."How Ugh am we Yard Solo Women of th^Warsaw'unlted mctdogisi inure.i will invc ? ? ~ -a How fast are we traveling?. j .. .About 500 miles an hour.... flying?.. .39.000 feet, he says.. How fast are we traveling?. . 1 How long before we will be in Iowa?. . .About 2 hours. . .How long you been a pilot?.. Around 7 years. . .How much is this plane worth?. . .It sold new for about 3 million dollars, but it is several years old now and is worth about a million and a half. ?' . .Is it stHI in good shape?. . ?Oh. yes. it has been completely overhauled. . .Someone told me Wilson sold this plane. If it is so good, why did they sell it?. . .They have a better deal leasing it. .. Your answers are ok. I am going back to my seat and think them over, drink some coke, and eat some peanuts.. > / Just like he said, in two hours he set that jet down in Cedar Rapids. Iowa. ./ There were three autos waiting for us. and off we went 10 the motel. . Checked in. .r.Twenty minutes later we were at the Wilson plant. .We were shown some KjA beef being marked and packed. . .Next we were whisked out to the autos again and headed down the highway to the Amana Colonies. . .They are a religious sect from'Ger many who hadpurcbascd 25.000 1900's and live a type of cMMMiite life with everyone working for a common goal by building and living off the land. But strange things I noticed as we drove along the road. . .There were gp trees. . .The q?ly trees wernaround homes. Everywhere else there was corn and more com. . All the way to the Amana Colonies, these Wilson people kept telling about rhubarb wine made by the residents, and how I should try it. . .Well. I swore off the alcoholic beverages a long time ago, but these people kept telling me how I should try it, and h?w I might never get another chance. . So I ordered a smaH glass of wine, and let me tell you. 1 don't care if I never do get to try it again. . That stuff was awful. .Ugh.. .After eating pickled ham. stuffed sausages, smoked pork chops and pure old country-fried potatoes, just like Donna makes, we went back to the motel and were told "Be up and ready to eat at 7:30". As soon as the meal was over, off we went back to the Wilson plant, put on a hard hat and a meat-cutter's coat. . .And we began walking and walked up and down stairs and in and out of freezers and along walk ways for the next 4 hours. . .Must have been SO miles. . .1 figure those working in the plant must get along with each other pretty well because everybody has a knife. . .And you don't want to start no fight when your neighbor has a knife.. .And the people knew what to do with a knife. . .A couple of whacks and out popped the bone. . .Didn't see anyone with bleeding fingers either... To give you an idea how large that plant was, one of the Wilson men with us said he had worked there for three years and this was the first time he had been in some parts of file plant. . .After that remark, I got hold of the guide's coettail.. I didn't want to get lost fat there. . .Might take two weeks to And my way out. After the plant tour, we were taken tw-a Ia?d lot and then to the jet. .AM soon we wete hack in BaMtft. . .Flew hhck to the rain, end As we wet* on Ifee way to Warsaw, I began .riding. . -And^e tour mm%a scheduled (hat it was almost like a movie watching .not Mag. One thing sticks out in my mind
