Pawley’s Island, one of the oldest inhabited islands in the Carolinas was once part of a colony established by pros perous rice and indigo planters around the time of the Ameri can Revolution. The spirit of romance and splendor that marked the rice age in the South Carolina Low- country is still wrapped up in the beautiful Waverly plantat ion. It was originally establish ed in 1750, partly through pur chase and a land grant from King George 11 of England. One of the most interesting stops on the tour is the All Saint’s Parish Waccamaw Church, framed in the eerie beauty of moss-draped live oak trees. In this parish lived Ben jamin Huger who entertained both Baron Dekalb and Lafay ette when they first arrived in America. Other distinguished people who either lived or visit ed Pawley’s Island were the ducts. Laboratory testing of ice cream and frozen desserts is being conducted extensively throughout the summer months. “This is the time when a lot of ice cream is consumed throughout the states,” pointed out Commissioner of Agricul ture William L. Harrelson, “& our Department is interested n seeing that these products sold in South Carolina meet our state requirments for weight and content.” “Overall, our test results have been good, but there have been some products which we have found to be deficient in either fat content or weight per gallon. Steps have been taken to see that these deficiencies are corrected by the manufuac- turer. They were not extremely bad, but more than there should have been for the benefit of the consumer and our manufactur ers are cooperating to remedy these mistakes.” State standards set up defini tions for ice cream, frozen cus tard, ice milk, milk sherbert, ice or ice sherbert and imitation ice cream according to ingred ients, milk fat content and weight per gallon. Ice cream for example, is defined as “the pure, clean frozen product made from a combination of two or more of the ingredients such as milk products, eggs, water and sugar with harmless flavoring, with or without harmless color ing and with or without added stabilizer composed of whole some edible material.” Ice cream must weigh not less than four and one-fourth pounds to the gallon. These standards also describe frozen dessert as “the food pre pared by freezing while stirring a pasturized mix composed of edible food fats, milk solids not fat, sugar or other sweeteners and flavor or flavoring. Other frozen dessert ingredients are defined in the state requirment as well as the labeling of the containers and the package size in which it may be sold. Samples for the ice cream & frozen dessert testing are ob tained by field inspectors from the Department who makes purchases at both dairy bars & retail establishments over the state. The samples are brought to the lab in insulated, dry ice containers where the individual containers are weighed in their frozen state and then allowed to melt at room temperature for chemists to begin various analysis to see that the pro ducts adhere to state standards “We are interested in seeing that ice cream and frozen dess erts purchased in South Car olina are the best available any where,” declared Commissioner Harrelson, “and this is one of the main reasons for the testing program that we are conduct ing on them.” distinguished painter Washing ton Allston, George Washing ton, Grover Cleveland and Jam es Monroe.
