C., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Kathryn Divola Cogdill, to Pvt. Bill Harold Nicholson, of the United States army, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nicholson, of Rosman.

When mixture is well blended and smooth, remove once from hot water, pour into greased in 7-7 in. pan, and cut into squares. MORE KITCHEN FATS NEEDED, SAYS O.W.L Critical need for continued and increased collections of waste kit chen fats was announced by the Office of War Information. Such fats are used to make glycerine for high explosives. OWI said collect ions of 230,000,000 pounds would be needed this year, as compared with a total of less than 100,000,000 pounds collected last year. The practice is for the housewife turn her waste kitchen fats in to her butcher. For each pound, she receives two red points, and four cents. Judge: “Can’t this matter be set tled out of court?” KeUy: “Sure, your honor. That’s what we were doing when the po lice interfered.” FOOD —^Meat shortage? Accord ing to the War Food Administra tion, civilian consumers are gob bling up meat at a higher rate than at any time in 35 years. Supplies will probably dwindle somewhat to ward the year’s end, however. Don’t be surprised if sugar manages to slip off the ration list some time in the near future. . . .With pro duction soaring, America’s egg mar kets are more scrambled than ever. Says the WFA: The country has more eggs than it knows what to do with. . .America’s soy-bean crop, sprouting to sky-scraper heights, looms as a big post-war moneymak er for the country’s farmers. It’s already pushing its way into the front ranks among wartime vege tables. Despite man, material and equipment shortages, canned food production has sprouted to peaks ranging from one-third to 40 times pre-war heights. One danger: Over production. . .Increased civilian consumption, coupled with large military demands, has nearly doubled U. S. cracker and biscuit output in less than three years. MATERIALS — No comfort to home-front shoppers is the fact that faltering paper salvage campaigns won’t leave them “holding the bag.” Why? With stores running out of wrapping materials, there may be no bags to hold. .. FUEL—Black markets are drain ing three gallons of gas a month from every driver. Meanwhile, some observers won’t be too surprised to see another East Coast “pleasure- driving” ban, to prevent the spread of warm weather motoring. . . Discount rumors of a scheme to erect pipelines across Mexico in order to reinforce Pacific oil stocks. . .Get ready for a stiff campaign to conserve coal, say fuel authorities. * While ‘‘Sunday work” has boosted , recent hard coal output, this ye^s soft coal production is expected to sag twenty million tons below war needs. LABOR—Labor turnover is still a big headache to more than one war plant . .The pockets of America’s factory workers are now bulging more than ever. Average weekly paycheck, $47.59. WATERPROOF DIRT — Muddy streets and roads may soon be a thing of the past, as a result of an unusual new development for waterproofing dirt. It’s done by mixing “Stabinol”, a Hercules Powder Co. resin cc^mpound, with the top few inches of soil. The resulting surface w\U not only shed water like a- duck, but will also last for periods as long as five years. PAYROLL CALCULATOR — Credit the Berger-Brickner Co. with the development of a new >typie “pay - roll- cidculator” that figures overtime as well as straight pay. The device quickly tabulates all hourly pay-rates from 40c to. $1.74, and any time period up to 80 hours, including divisions of tenths and quarters of an hoiur. WATERPROOF MATCH—Rain proof cigarettes, already on the market, are now “meeting their match” in the newly-developed rainproof matches. Their tops, in closed in wateiproof “raincoat” solution, will light in the heaviest of April showers. ALUMINUM PARADE—Accord ing to the Aluminum Co. of Amer ica, post-war Americans will wit ness a big parade of new aluminum products, including: (1) Aluminum —Tom To Page Fifteen
