Pageant To Be Staged Parents of North Carolina girls, ages three to 12, are advised that the nationally sanctioned statewide Little American Miss pageant will be staged Friday, October 1, at the Holiday Inn West in Asheville under direction of Mrs. Emogene LeSueur of Tennessee. Entry information is avail able by writing to Mrs. LeSueur at P.O. Box 3541, Carroll Reece Station,''John son City, Tenn., 37601 oJ by calling (615) 477-3160. >- ; j J^k-\\6ysmt<l B Recently I placed an appeal in Folk-Ways for information concerning the use of “toothbrushes” or ‘‘chewing sticks” as an aid to gleaning the teeth. A follow-up letter from the Washington University School of Dental Medicine indicates that the information is needed as part of a world-wide study of this dying habit. The chairman of the Dental Microbiology Department, Dr. Memory Elvin-Lewis, reports that student survey teams have been used quite successfully in West Africa in obtaining information on chewing sticks. He writes: “I am especially interes ted in obtaining as much ethnobotanical information as possible regarding their use (chewing sticks). It is impor tant to know the reasons for the types of plants preferred and especially if any have other medicinal uses. "1 know that Dogwood, Sweet Gum, and Hickory are popular, but to what degree? In our survey in Africa, for example, at least 80 species are known but only a very few are used by the majority of the population. “It would also be interest ing to know how the habit was taught and at what age it was considered important. In this regard differences may exist between and adult preferences.” A casual broaching of the subject to friends this week brought responses which sug gest that a variety of species wgre also’used in Appalachia and in the South in general. Ruby Akers, a Boone resident who grew up in Mississippi, remembers the I blackgum as a favorite tooth or chewing-stick: "We always broke off the twig or stick at the knot, for it seemed to have a better flavor there and would eventually shred into many fine particles which could be used like a brush for both teeth and gums. 1 think we also used poplar and hickory, but blackgum was our favorite.” Clarence Bunch, a trans planted Missourian, remem bers very vividly that willow branches were first choice in his youth: “I guess there’s good reason to remertjber: we cut our tooth-sticks off the switches our mother used on us when we got into trouble.” Watauga County native Nadine Hampton’s recollec tions are somewhat similar: “We used birch -black birch almost altogether. My mother would send us up on the hill to cut birch switches when we were bad and we cut our sticks about three or four inches long from them. We always left a knot about a half inch from the end and feathered the wood into shreds back to the knot. Why birch? Because it tasted so good.” John West, poet and novelist from Wilkes County, remembers that mahogany twigs were the favorite in his area: “We had the only mahogany tree in the whole area in our yard, and younguns used to come from miles around to break off the limbs for chewing sticks. “The bark and the wood were sweet in themselves, but we used to add extra flavor by grinding sassafras roots into powder and mixing this with letter To The Editor Dear Editor: Mike Mitchell’s “Last Fa engine, “Blackle,” was one of i articles I’ve read in many a d breathe! 1 wanted to hog and how much I love and appreciat think I shall go to Alabama and go with me?

According to statistics developed through the con sortium, there is a large percentage of students from middle and lower income families in the region who lack the skills needed to succeed in jA)st-secondary education. Efforts to provide special help for these students have been limited in recent years due to tremendous growth in schools and insufficient funds Note Os Thanks The family of Grady Penland wishes to express sincere appreciation to friends for their attention and their thoughtfulness during the time of sorrow.

We dipped our chew ing sticks into this mixture and pretended we were dipping snuff like the old women in our neighborhood.” My own memories turn to blackgum, birch, dogwood, spicewood, and the twigs from various fruit trees, especially apple.
