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

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:

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.
