Wainright Hams and Sausage Delight
Food Editor of Journal-Constitution
By Grace Hartley
Food Editor
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Generous slices of sugar-cured
smoked ham and smoked link sau
sage for breakfast are "old hat” to
the Claude W. Wainwright family
of Rte. 1, Nahunta, Ga.
Claude Wainwright has used the
same recipe for sausage making for
25 years and he learned it from his
father. About 10 years ago Claude
started curing hams too.
“We use the old-fashioned coun
try cure,” Mr. Wainwright explain
ed. “We pack the butchered hams
in salt for 45 days. After this the
hams are scrubbed well and hung in
the smoke house for 18 to 24 hours.
We use green oak for smoke.
"As for the sausage, we use all
of the meat from 140 to 160-pound
hogs which are bought at the live
stock market in Waycross and all
of them are com fed.
“The smoke curing time for the
stuffed link sausage is only 4 to 5
hours. We also smoke sugar-cured
pork chops.
“We get requests from many peo
ple for our ham and sausage and
have sent sausage as far as Reno,
Nev.,” Mr. Wainwright continued.
The Wainwrights arc outstanding
farmers and citizens, according to
county agent George A. Loyd and
home demonstration agent Mrs. Vir
ginia N. Raulerson. They grow most
of the food for the family table and
also tobacco and com.
In the meat curing plant which is
located on the farm Mr. Wainwright
cuts and packages meats for the
freezer and stores cured meat for
many nearby families.
As much ham and sausage as the
Wainwrights see, they never tire of
it. Sixteen-month-old Larry is not
quite up to his full appreciation of
these delicacies yet, but Patricia,
Bruce and Gail are great enthusi
asts.
On a visit to the Wainwright home
there awaited us a platter of thick
ham slices, smoked link sausage,
scrambled eggs, casserole grits, hot
biscuits, home-churned butter, an
assortment of homemade jellies and
preserves and coffee.

The Internal Revenue Service
will begin a ‘‘compliance survey”
of many Brantley County busi
ness firms June 10, to determine
if they are aware of and com
plying with federal tax laws re
quiring the filing of tax returns.
The survey, which is expected
to take about 3 months to com
plete, will be conducted by re
venue officers who will check a
cross section of non-farm busi
nesses to see if all required tax
returns are being filed on time
according to District Director,
A. C. Ross.
Mr. Ross emphasized the sur
vey is not designed to audit re
turns, but is to ascertain the a
wareness and extent of compli
ance with the tax return filing
requirements of the internal rev
enue laws and to check the com
pleteness of internal revenue's
recently installed master file of
business taxpayers.
He further emphasized that
most business managements
comply conscientiously with the
tax laws. However, Mr. Ross ex
plained since the laws are com
plex and there are many types of
tax returns such as income, with
holding, social security and a
number of miscellaneous ex
cise taxes, some business tax
payers may not be fully aware
of all of the specific tax returns
which apply to their business
operations. { ,
"Compliance Surveys" are
made under the internal reven
ue laws, Mr. Ross said, and are
a continuous part of the regu
lar tax enforcement program de
signed to maintain high levels of
taxpayer compliance. Compliance
surveys will be conducted under
the usual high standards of fair
ness the internal revenue ser
vice requires in its dealings with
taxpayers.
Internal revenue, he said, re
cognized that most of the delin
quents whidh may be brought to
light will be the result of hon
est misunderstandings and over
sight. The rare instances of fla
grant abuse which may be dis
covered will, of course, be dealt
with according to law, he added.
In 1962, nine hundred physi
cians referred their patients to
Easter Seal rehabilitation facil
ities in Georgia for physical
therapy, occupational therapy,
speech - hearing therapy, voca
tional counseling and psycho
logical consultations.
Between turning the ham, baking
the sausage and finishing up the
biscuits Mrs. Wainwright explained
some of her cooking procedures.
The best way to cook the smoked
link sausage, she told us, is place
the sausage in a low baking pan,
put into a cold oven at 350 degrees
and cook for about 50 minutes. This
allows plenty of time for thorough
cooking all the way through, with
out outside burning and from the
slow heating there will be less
shrinkage of the sausage.
The ham was broiled on top of
the range in a large iron skillet,
cooking just long enough on each
side to brown evenly and yet cook
through.
