Xylophonist To '
Give Concert
JEAN SHAW
On March 22, at eight o'clock
in the evening. Appalachian
State Teachers College will pre
sent Jean Shaw, eylophonist, in
a concert in the college audi
torium.
A virtuoso of the xylophone at
the age of nineteen, Miss Shaw
is one of the few concert artists
to treaj the xylophone as a
serious instrument. Playing it in
a highly artistic fashion, she has
received unstinted praise from
many outstanding groups for
the charm of her presentation.
Miss Shaw began the study of
the xylophone at the age of
seven, and showed such promise
that six months later she made
the first of a long series of pub
lic appearances. She has been,
for four years, a performer on a
coast-to-coast radio program, and
has appeared over a television
broadcast. She has shared honors
with nationally and internation
ally known musicians.
A trained musician. Miss Shaw
has arranged many of the com
positions she uses, including the
music of Chopin, Beethoven, and
Mendelssohn. One of her most
effective concert numbers is
Liszt's ."Second Hungarian
Rhapsody."
Playing an especially designed
instrument. Miss Shaw also uses
three and four mallets, which
enable her to achieve harmonic
effects comparable to those at
tained on the piano.
Miss Shay is presented at Ap
palachian through the lyceum
series, and the public is cordially
invited to attend.
State College Hints
For Homem&kers
To store bowls, platters, and
odd dishes without stacking
them, remember that a group of
"stepped" shelves is useful.
A nut pic, should have a place
in every kitchen; it may be used
to remove corks, to punch holes
in siftmg-cans, to untie hard
knots, and to clean seams in
milk pails and other utensils.
Cherries or small pickles, too,
may be easily removed from
their containers with a nut pick.
Tongs are a useful addition to
kitchen equipment and are
especially efficient for turning
meats, cakes, and pies in oven,
and excellent to use in rinsing
dishes.
To prevent pictures from
marking the wall, when hanging
pictures, place a thumbtack on
the back of the pictures at each
of the lower corners. This will
hold the picture far enough from
the wall so that it will not leave
a mark. Picture rearrangement
is thus permitted from yeai to
year.
When turkish towels have be
come tforn or faded, simply cul
them in squares and keep them
to use as dishcloths.
A low-pitched, well modulated
voice will rule out all whining,
scolding, nagging, and complain
ing.
Sandwiches will keep moist
for several hours if wrappad In
waxed paper and then in a moist
tea towel.
MITCHELL .TELLS
LIONS NATION IS
ON BRINK OF WAR
The world is on the brink of

Good Living Possible
On Small Acreage
A small farm will provide a
good living tor any family it
good management is practiced to
make a'little bit go a long way,
says T. K. Jonas, farm manage
ment analyst for the State Col
lege extension service.
Careful planning and wise al
location of funds and other re
sources are necessary if the farm
family is to have a high standard
of living, Mr. Jones stated. Pre
sent prices make it important for
the small farmer to reduce cash
expenses by producing as much
of his food supply as possible.
Thst a live at home program
can be practiced on the small
farm is evidenced by the way
Stokes A. Burleson ot the Cross
nore community in Avery coun
ty. has carried his out
Mr. Burleson became a demon
stration farmer in his community
in 1938 when he agreed to co
operate with the TV A and the
N. C. extension service. Practic
ing what he has learned since
that time, Mr. Burleson plants a
good garden each year and pro
duces an adequate supply of both
early and late vegetables for nis
family needs. Two "high produc
ing Guernsey cows provide the
family with plenty of milk
throughout the year. An ample
| supply of pork is cured each
year and usually a beef is canned
for later use. Fruit, root crops,
and vegetables are stored for
consumption during the winter
months and more than 400 quarts
of vegetables, fruits and meat
were canned last year.
Income from the sale of beans,
potatoes, and cabbage ' provides
the mountain farmer with suf
ficient income to make needed
improven\ents in home living.
His seven-room house which was
built in 1940 is wired for electri
city and has running water.
