NORTH CAROLINA VICTOR MEEKINS » Editor CATHERINE D. MEEKINS Secretary-Treasurer FRANCIS W. MEEKINS Advertising Manager VOL. XXIII MANTEO, N. C.. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 6. 1957 NO. 10 ANTAGONIZED ISSUE. (Pamlico County Herald) Do you remember the Greek myth about Icarus, who be lieved that man could fly like a bird, but flew too close to the sun and was burned to death ? Behind every great idea there are the doubting Thomases, those who tried and failed in despair, and those who simply don’t want it to happen any way. On the other hand are others, too full of enthusiasm but not common sense, who try so hard to overwhelm with their brilliant ideas that the listener is antagonized. The very word “antagonized” breaks down into two parts, “anti” and “agonized,” which at this moment best ex presses the feeling of the largest proportion of Southerners on the subject of racial integration. Yet the mind must open (“not in my lifetime”, most folks say) to see if there is a germ of an idea there, a germ that is worth developing into a workable settlement for the protagonists and the antag onists. Antagonism often obscures what might be profitable in the end. There is more than one way to skin a cat, the old saying goes and “honey catches more flies than vinegar.” It is interesting to read what we call “the Negro press,” some fine newspapers written by and for Negroes, to get the other viewpoint. Oddly enough, some of the best Negro writers in the country are saying to their people almost what would please the average white Southerners. We say “average,” because there are always those eager to take a drink of lik ker, put on a white robe, and sally forth to do deeds they call courageous. Sen. Sam Ervin of North Carolina thought so highly of one recent editorial by Davis Lee, widely-quoted Negro edi tor of a New Jersey newspaper, that he had the editorial read into the Congressional Record. In it, Lee makes the point that this state is the only one in the country which employs Negro agricultural agents, and has the largest percentage of Negro-owned farm land. From the Norfolk, Va., Virginian-Pilot, Mrs. Z. V. Whealton of Mesic clipped this news article, datelined Dutchtown, Louisiana: “A George-born Negro bishop from New York’s Harlem called racial integration damnable for the Negro and attacked it as an affront to the laws of God. Archbishop C. C. Addison spoke at the opening session of the ‘national convention’ of the African Universal Church and Commercial League Corp., which he heads. The cor poration’s only business is as a church. “Some 115 Negroes crowded the pews of the church in this little town about 20 miles south of Baton Rouge. Addi son attacked the civil rights bill before Congress. ‘No laws and no group of lawmakers can give the Negro or anyone else civil rights’, he said. ‘Rights have to be earned from within a man.” “He praised the lot of the Negro in the segregated South, commenting, ‘There are half a million Negroes in Harlem. Yet not a single toothpick factory or any kind of business is owned by a Negro. They work. They even man age, but own ? You have to come South to find Negro owning anything’.” We find it significant that a Southern editor of the paper in Clinton, Tennessee, who personally does not believe in integration, recently was given the Lovejoy award for per sonal courage in journalism for an editorial against antag onism to the federal laws. Antagonism can obscure issues. Let us strive to keep an open mind, and weigh both sides. HYDE COUNTY’S GOOD FORTUNE. While many neighboring counties have suffered disas trously from the summer’s long drought, the low elevation of its land has worked to the good for Hyde County, and excellent yields of corn and beans are expected in Hyde as well as in Eastern Beaufort. Near Pantego, yields of 80 bushels of corn to the acre are reported from early harvest ing. Hyde’s Irish potato crop may be considered a loss, but all sections shared in this loss, due to late crops resulting from a wet spring, and poor prices. It is fortunate for Hyde that it fares so well with its crops this summer. Many other counties are declared disas ter areas and are having to get Government loans to aid them. Hyde has long been famed as a land of tall corn, where yields of 100 bushels to the acre are not uncommon. More attention to drainage and control of water on the lands is being paid each year in Hyde and large sums of money have been spent by the county’s farmers. Further study and ex perience of this subject is expected to yield still greater re turns in future. DO IT YOURSELF. (Gulfport, (Miss.) Guide) There is a growing tendency on the part of many people to let some one else tote their burdens. More and more men lean upon Government to solve their problems and provide their security, as we, the people, put our faith in the power of an omnipotent state. Security is not the product of any political power. Gov ernment wields no magic wand, issues no decrees, makes no laws which can provide the things people need and want. These, only the people, themselves, can produce. The only wealth which enables us to eat and drink, clothes or shelters us, and educates our children, that pro vides a measure of security for our families or for old age, is created by the skills and services of men in industry or on our farms. The scramble for higher wages, higher profits, more leisure, bigger pensions and farm subsidies, is ultimately of no avail, unless the people increase production and Consump tion. In the face of further threats of inflation, the wage price rat-race, the increasing burden of taxes and the pre vailing complacency, those who expect our Government to watch over us some day have a big jolt coming. You can just bet your bottom dime that if anything is done by anyone to correct any of the conditions that threat en our economy or undermine our prosperity it will be done by individuals. Alive to the dangers, and pooling their in fluence and strength, they need take only as much inflation as they want and, working together, they can demand lower taxes and economy in Government whenever they make up their minds to do something about it with the courage to act. This is a Do-It-Yourself country and we, the people, can change things whenever we demand it We can even make iIL Herb Coated Fried Chicken Wins Family Compliments By Nancy Carter No one needs to tell a Southern homemaker how to fry chicken for it is a skill claimed by many. Good as this native dish is, sometimes it is fun to season it differently and listen for family compliments. We’ve been experimenting with mixing some dried herbs in with the coating for the chicken and have come up with some very interesting tricks you may wish to try. The most important trick in frying chicken is to have each piece well browned and crisp outside with tender juicy meat inside. It’s easy to do this if you will start with top-quality, tender hying chickens. In your supermarket you’ll find the best birds are graded and branded with a money back guarantee for quality. I like to choose a bird weighing 2 X to 3 pounds so the pieces are of good size. HUB SEASONING IDKAS Many herbs and seasonings help the flavor of chicken. Here are some our taste-testers liked very much. Chopse one for now, then in a few weeks try another. You’ll soon be able to work out your own favorite combination. 1. To 1 cup sifted dry bread crumbs add J 4 cup flour, 1 table spoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon poultry season ing ana Ji teaspoon pepper. 2. To J 4 cup flour add 1 teaspoon salt, Ji teaspoon thyme and Ji teaspoon marjoram. 3. To your favorite batter recipe add J 4 teaspoon curry pow der and 1 teaspoon paprika. \ 4. To 1 beaten egg add Ji cup milk, Ji teaspoon EACH celery salt, onion salt and garlic salt. Dip chicken pieces in this then into finely crushed bread crumbs or flour. Fry the chicken in deep or shallow fat but be sure to watch the browning process to prevent burning. When the chicken is golden brown, reduce the heat and cook slowly so the meat will be thor oughly cooked but not dry. We have many chicken recipes in our tested files so if you’d like some of the recipe sheets with chicken recipes write to me: Nancy Carter, P. O. Box 4358, Atlanta, Ga. Ask for free chicken recipes. SOME REASONS FOR MIX-UP IN MARKETING OF SHRIMP Congressman Herbert C. Bonner offers the following comments for our readers: 1 have noticed a news item emanating from Oriental entitled “N. C. Fisheries Association Pro tests Discrminatory Disting of State Shrimp.” Since reading the article I have been in touch with the Bureau of Commercial Fish eries, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, discussing the matter with W. M. Bearse, Assistant Chief, Marketing News Letter Section, who advises me that the problem with North Carolina shrimp is the grading of the sizes in the pack age. For example, a box may be marked “26-30 count” and in fact contain shrimp from 20-40 count. The restaurant owners in New York, because of high Jabor costs, prefer the larger sizes and conse quently will not pay the highest price for the mixed grade. I, of course, am not positive that our people are misgrading their shrimp, but I do think the ship pers should watch this and if they are able to furnish evidence that the Marketing Service report to me is incorrent, then I would like to pursue the matter further. There is no complaint about the quality of our North Carolina shrimp. In fact, they are consider ed excellent. Certainly you know I am inter ested in this product as it is quite an industry in our state. I think this information might be inter esting to your readers who are in the shrimping industry.
