COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
Ih there audi a thing as Southern
rookery ? ah a hoy I had hominy for
breakfant and rice for dinner. That
was. and la. tho usual low-country
p? actio*. With hominy were eggs or
hum and gravy, steak, and tho like,
hot biscuits or waffles, sometimes
broiled sliced tomatoes or fried sliced
apples Dinner, at midday or two
o'clock, began with rice with gravy.
The well-managed home of years ajfco
believed In home-made hot biscuits
for breakfast, but cold broad was fre<|iiently
served for dinner and supper.
Here we are: rice and hominy?
nothing better when cooked properly,
but raw rice and raw hominy are fit
for chickens and pigs. . '>-*
The best grade of rice sold Is called
Carolina rice, even though produced
in Louisiana. Yet we are losing the
art of preparing It. Our young wo(
men can piddle about with a chafing
| dish and spread mayonnaise on bananas,
but they can't cook rice propi
erly. Even in Charleston, 1 recenty
i was served a bowl of chicken soup
? with rice, with rice almost raw. 1
know that a foreign cook prepared It,
i but I wonder if all the culinary art of
i iho South Is confined to home?-and
Just a few of them.
One of tho peculiar customs Is that
of crossing a continent to attend a
funeral. Sometimes a man will neglect
his father and mother, or his
daughter and son, while they are alive
and might rejoice to see him, but
when death comes?and he can do no
good -he travels hundreds of miles
to the funeral under a stern compulsion
of duty or affection.
I visited the Santee-Cooper scene
below Moncks Corner this''"Week. It
is a stupendous job of excavating and
moving dirt For some reason 'the
buildings for the patrol and the observation
platform remind me of a
camp in France, back In rhe S. O. S.
r Say. Muddy, did you over go to Is-surTllle,
Glevres, Tours, Brest, St. Nazalre
or l>e Mans? Well, this Santee
Job should warm the heart of my
. friend Bob Connor, for it's an engiI
iveer's project.
Let us hope that all the beating of
drums and blowing of trumpets
among our warlike admirals will not
keep Congress from amending the
l^abor Relations Act and holding
down the I^abor Relations Board. Furthermore,
let's not get intoxicated
with the idea of bigness. The bigger1
the ship the greater the loss, and the
heavier the ship the sooner It sinks,
j The history of most inventions and
improvements shows that the beBt
j things are given by outsiders. That
is true of naval experts, too. Our
'admirals may be gallant fighters; let
'us hope so; but as technicians they
are probably far from top More air- j
| planes and submarines are what we
need and small ones at that We
