bate we had with William Zieg

reader, offered the following in
formation: "In France, a goat is
called 'chevre', in Latin it's
'copra,' and in the U.S. we call
a sergeant's stripes, 'chevrons',
because the Sgt. is always the
"goat" when something goes
haywire." Al Pawlowski pre
sented us with several dairy goat
journals which contain numer
ous recipes callef or 'chevon
steaks", "chevon roast", and
"chevon chops ". (We were prov
en wrong by the letter "r".) We
are grateful for these and other
enlightenments, but the question
still remains, "Is goat meat offi
cially named 'chevon'? If so,
when and by whom?"

1 1 ut a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed,
came where he was; and when he saw
him, he had compassion on him,
And went to him, and bound up his wounds,
pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his
own heast, and brought him to an inn, and
took care of him.
And on the morrow when he departed, he
took out two pence, and gave them to the host,
and said unto him, Take care of him: and whatsoever
thou spendest more, when I come again, I will
repay thee.
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor
unto him that fell among the thieves?
, . He that showed mercy on him.
Then said Jesus . . . Go, and do thou likewise.
