Historical Society Hosts Welty Exhibit
The Pass Christian Historical
Society is proud to host a
number of exhibits about
Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Eudora Welty. The exhibits,
on display through the end of
July, feature 36 black and
white photographs of Welty's
travels through New
York, New Orleans and Mississippi. An accompanying
display also provides biographical information about
Welty, a native Mississippian
and a literary luminary of the
20th century.
“Eudora Welty: Other
Places” features 22 of the
author's photographs from
New York and New Orleans.
During the winter of 193839, Eudora Welty spent several weeks in Manhattan.
Wandering through Union
Square and down Third Avenue, she photographed the
shadows and patterns of light
on the elevated subway, the
streets over which it loomed,
and groups of unemployed
people gathered to hear
speeches and wait for jobs.
Her photographs in New Orleans in the winter of 1936
offer a contrast in mood, subject, and object. The Mardi
Gras celebrations went on in
spite of the times. Welty did
not photograph the parades
or the festive balls that ended
parade days. Instead, as she
wandered through the streets
of the French Quarter, her
eye caught gestures, ironic
juxtapositions and, as always, human interactions and
relationships.
During the 1930s, Welty also
traveled over her native state

of Mississippi as a publicist
for the WPA, photographing
scenes and people that interested her. It was not until the
1970s that the photographs
were examined for their relationship to Welty’s writing. “Welty,” a compilation
of 14 of her WPA photos,
displays several juxtapositions of her photographs to
her text, offering a rare insight into the process of creativity. The scenes that caught
the photographer’s eye were
images that settled into her
being and became a source of
her literary art. Through the
alchemy of Welty’s genius
and vision the images were
transformed into lush passages of fiction. The exhibit
includes photographs and
passages from her books
such as The Winds, The Wide
Net, Delta Wedding, The
Golden Apple, A Curtain of
Green and Some Notes on
River Country.
From the Welty Estate and
House, an accompanying
exhibit includes several biographical displays: how Eudora Welty grew up, her family, the tragedies, her educa-
tion, her travels and her blossoming into an awardwinning literary luminary.
An audiovisual display of
Eudora Welty reading one of
her short-stories, “A Worn
Path,” and expressing how
some of its excerpts came to
be, provides an insight into
her stories and the creative
process.
The Welty photography exhibits were produced by the
Museum Division of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and supported in part by the Mississippi Arts Commission. The
photographs are from Eudora
Welty L.L.C. and the Welty
Collection of the Mississippi
Department of Archives and
History. “The Story Begins…” was provided by the
Welty Estate and House.
The Pass Christian Historical
Society, 201 East Scenic

to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2
p.m., through June 25. The
public is welcome to drop by
to see this great, free exhibit!

all frozen produce.
Last week we talked about
freezing squash, eggplant
and blueberries. This week
we will continue with our
discussion on freezing tomatoes, snap beans, peas
and fresh corn.
Now before we start, let me
back up just a little bit:
Most of the experts that I
have talked to concerning
freezing prefer to blanch the
produce. If you choose to
freeze without blanching,
the world will not come to
an end. Some say that rapidly stopping the enzyme
actions preserves the full
flavor of vegetables for a
longer time in the frozen
state. For that reason, I included blanching in this
discussion.
First, let us talk about tomatoes. There are lots of
tomatoes available at the
market now. To freeze tomatoes by blanching, first
cut off the stem, then drop
them in boiling water. Peel
the skin off, cool and drain.
Bag them up, then freeze
them. If that is too much
trouble, simply drop them
in a bag whole and freeze
them. The second method
Corn close to harvest
might not yield a longlasting frozen tomato, but
they should be fine for
cooking for several months.
Snap beans are also easy to
freeze. Blanch for about
three minutes, drain, chill
and bag up. Go ahead and
cut them up before freezing.
Southern peas are perhaps
the easiest things in the garden to freeze. Most people
just bag up the shelled peas
and freeze them. Just thaw
and boil when you want to
enjoy them later. The trick
is to have a good vegetable
to start with. This is true for
Now finally for corn: Corn
can be frozen on the cob
easily. I am not going into
cutting corn right now because the steps are a little
lengthy. Corn on the cob
can be frozen in the husk
for use in a couple or three
months. For longer freezing
times, most prefer to shuck
and blanch. Depending on
the size of the ears, blanching time varies from 7 to 9
minutes. Drain, chill and
freeze as with most other
produce. As with all frozen
produce, be sure to label
and date all bags.
I have not talked about canning because I do not can. I
can recommend “The Complete Guide to Home Canning,” a publication available from the County Extension Office in Gulfport.
There are lots of other useful publications available
there also. The Extension
Office staff is very knowledgeable about food safety
and preservation and will be
happy to answer any questions you might have.
I hope that you can use
some of this information in
keeping vegetables for future use. Freezing is a great
way to save on grocery bills
while maintaining greattasting produce for your
family.
The Pass Market meets Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12
p.m. in War Memorial Park.
