Abstract:
At the southern end of Core Sound, in coastal Carteret County, lies Harkers Island. The areas of subsistence techniques and foodways provide clear examples of folkways different from those found inland. Traditional foods and ways of eating form a link with the past. In situations of cultural change, many people hold on to them despite pressure to change. The loon has been adopted by Harkers Island natives as a symbol of their shared culinary and cultural heritage.

Abstract:
The initiation of a rookie by other police officers is the first step to becoming an accepted member of the police occupation. However, the initiation custom is only one aspect of the folklore which exists in police departments. Folklore is the unofficial and noninstitutional park of police culture. Textbooks and formal training cannot fully teach officers the various situations the real world will provide. Rookies learn from customs, pranks, legends, and anecdotes an insight into the challenges, problems, and relationships that arise for police officers.
