resh' Flavors Bring Bloom To Spring Mem
"ZIP AND NIP are what fresh
green onions add to your meals
and they are in excellent supply
at your market now, according
to the United Fresh Fruit and
Vegetable Association, Green
orilons are tender savories to
eat raw with meat, cheese or
fish. Many like to eat the
slender green stalks as well as
the small, ivory-colored bulb.
Sometimes the tops are chopped
to mix with cottage cheese for a
colorful salad,; or they are
tossed in a mixed green salad or
sliced in rings and added to
soups. The liking for this
flavorful vegetable goes back a
long way. ArounJ the year 1340,
the English poet, Chaucer,
wrote: "Wei loved he garleek,
oihyons and leekes." Young
green onion tops are especially
low in calories. To check quality
at your market, see that they
have green, fresh-looking tops
and medium-sized necks which
are well-blanched for at least
two or three inches from the
root: Green onions should be
young, crisp and tender.
:rev up for rhubarb-
Spring is rhubarb
time... rhubarb pie and tart
time. Serve pink and pretty
rhubarb stewed for breakfast
and for dessert. Rhubarb dates
back to about 2700 B.C. in China,
and the root is still used in
Chinese medicine, the United
Fresh Fruit and Vegetable
Association tells us. Good
quality rhubarb stalks are
fresh, firm, crisp, tender and
bright in appearance, and they
should not be excessively thin.
The leaves are not edible.

Wlmt We Can Do About Pollution
In Perquimans County
A lot has been written and a
lot has been televised about
pollution about the en
vironment, but all too often the
question: "what can I do about
it?" is never answered.
If that's what you were
looking for here is a very
important answer. On May 6
Primary Election Day vote
FOR the Clean Water Bonds.
It won't affect your pocket
book, because there will be no
increase in local or state taxes,
ingredient, try it cooked while it
is in such good supply at your
market, the United Fresh Fruit
and Vegetable Association
suggests. Wash the greens well.
Simmer them gently until
tender in a tightly-covered pan.
Use more or less water
depending on your own taste.
Large amounts of water tend to
give a milder flavor while less
water gives stronger flavor and
conserves more nutrients.
Drain the greens and chop, if
desired. Add a dab of
margarine or butter, salt and
pepper to taste, and reheat for a
few minutes. Escarole, high in
vitamin "A", is a nourishing
green to enjoy right now.
IN THE LIME-LIGHT are
luscious fresh limes with tangy,
spicy flavor for contrast in your
meals. A squeeze of fresh lime
juice over vegetables is
delectable. It's good, too, in
dressing for fruit salad. Fresh
Lime Chiffon Pie is one of the
great desserts. And don't forget
a wedge of lime to serve with
fish or seafood. The United
Fresh Fruit and Vegetable
Association tells us that the
Crusaders brought limes home
with them to Europe, and it was
Columbus who introduced limes
to the New World on his second
voyage.
"VEGETABLE LANG
UAGE" is often used for
comparisons. "He's built like a
string bean" gives a good
picture of a very thin, tall man.

But "string bean" is an in
correct term today, Now it's
"green bean'1, Almost all of the
fresh, green beans in our day are

that the first successful
stringless beans were in
troduced, according to the
United Fresh Fruit and

How do you serve green
beans? Fresh green beans
sauced with melted butter are a
great favorite that goes with
almost any menu. For more
sophistication, serve green
beans with hollandaise. Or with
a cheese or a mushroom sauce.
Creamed green beans and fresh
celery are a good combination
for a change. Delicious, too, are
cooked green beans marinated

People of the Albemarle have always en
joyed being entertained.
Just after the turn of the century, citi
zens of the area were provided with one of
the most unique theatres in the history of
this section. From 1913 to 1931, the show
boat, "James Adams' Floating Theatre", plied
the intercoastal waters of the Albemarle and
Chesapeake Bay. She wintered in Elizabeth
City.
The vessel inspired Edna Ferber to write
the novel, Showboat This further resulted in
a long-running Broadway musical by Jerome
Kern, an later, a motion picture with the
same name.
There is no longer a "Showboat", but
she left pleasant memories in'the minds of
many area residents.

. Green beans are native to this
hemisphere. Early explorers
found that all over the
Americas, climbing green
beans were generally planted
along with maize. In 1605, the
explorer, Samuel de Cham
plain, wrote of the Indians:
"With this corn they put in each
hill three or four beans.. .when
they grow up, they interlace
with the corn which reaches to
the height of five to six feet."
Rich in garden flavor, green
beans are available all year
round, and are in particularly
good supply in your market
now. To check quality, look for
beans that are fresh and green
in appearance, free from scars
and discoloration, break

THE WITNESSING
International Sunday School
LESSON TEXT: Mark 5: 1-20; Acts 8: 4-40;
18: 24-28.
In their studies of the Bible, discerning students will come
to realize that Christ did not assign the work of His church to
a select few. Rather, they will become acutely aware of e
fact that the responsibility for witnessing lies heavily on the
shoulders of EVERY one of us who claim to be a Christian.
This was the Intention of Christ . .that every follower should
be a witness. 4
It must also be remembered that the church gained its
strength worldwide, not by the zeal of just a handful of
converts, but by the loyality of multitudes. Inspired by the
Holy Spirit, the most humble of men achieved results that
were little short of miraculous!
Witnessing for Christ, as has been pointed out, is the
solemn responsibility of a professing Christian, and : this ;
calls for a great deal of soul-searching and preparation on the -'
part of the individual.
Our lesson today centers on the activities and the faith of
three great witnesses, and in these three the healed
demoniac whom Christ appointed to the role of a home
missionary, Philip (who witnessed in Samaria) and Appollos, -who
witnessed in Ephesus and Achaia, we can plainly see
that witnessing is a natural result of a meaningful
relationship with Christ.
The demoniac had a sorry background, .he was a danger
to himself and to those with whom he came in contact. Healed
by Christ, his gratitude knew no bounds, and he beseeched
Christ to let him join His little band of followers, that he
might become a disciple. But Jesus, instead of accepting this
offer, bade the man, instead, to go among his own people,
testifying to the works of the Lord, as he (the demoniac) had.
experienced them testifying also to God's compassion, in
the person of His Son. .,
. It is noteworthy that despite the disappointment he ,
must have felt at not being able to accompany Christ on His
missions, the man did as he was bid. . .witnessing on the
"home front", so to speak, with unremitting zeal! (And here
we must pause and reflect that every true Christian has some
story to tell, of an experience with the Savior !) .
s Philip, although assigned to a purely administrative job,
carried the gospel into a "foreign" country when he went to
Samaria and preached of Christ. He was possessed of no
special training to prepare himself for this work. . .but he
preached with such power, and such faith, that the people
marveled at his eloquence. (How desperately, today, the
world has need of people like Philip!). t . ,
In the story of Apollos there is much we can learn about .
witnessing; Apollos was an eloquent man, well versed in the
Scriptures. . .yet, from a husband-and-wife team of tent
makers, he learned much when it came to truly effective
witnessing! Jewish refugees, Aquila and Priscilla, although
Christians, attended the synagogue faithfully in Ephesusr1'
using this contact to witness to their faith in Christ. It was -:
here that they met Apollos, who was speaking in tht i
lynajogue. Aware that there was much lacking in Apollos'
testimony, these humble people took him to their hearts and
tausht him all that they could, thus deepening the quality of
his testimony. ' -
-Herein lies a lesson! AU men, no matter what -their
background, have something to contribute to the Christian
movement! Rhetoric and education are priceless gifts. . .but
so are the g-ts of zeal, perception, and inspiration!
