About Your
Home
Do you arive yourself to
"keep up with the Joneses?"
It so, you ue doing yourself
and your family a great dis
service. It is an actual tact
tnat attempts to keep up with
the Joneses can often lead to
the mental hospital.
It is unfortunate that in our
society the demand tor respect
takes so many forms. Most
people are constantly striving
to obtain all the respect thai
wealth or position make pos
sible. There is great eftort put
into seeking to gain enough
respect to compensate for eco
nomic limitations.
We are constantly trying to
discover means of scoring pres
tige points in order to get ahead
of competitors having the same
income.
We are told that in this de
partment the woman pays the
highest price. Women are espec
ially active in regard to competi
tion, and they quite often pay
in terms of mental health.
No house can be happy and
normal where so much import
ance is attached to material
things and social position. Chil
dren are greatly influenced by
this attitude on the part of the
mother. It effect* their feeling
of security.
50th Wedding
Dale Observed
MA. AND MRS. KINCAID
Mr. and Mrs. Marshal W.
Kincaid of Greensboro, former
residents of Boone, celebrated
their 50th wedding anniversary
at a reception given in the Fel
lowship llall of Muir's Chapel
Methodist Chufch by their five
children and their families.
Tne hosts were Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Lawrence of Boone,
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Kincaid,
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Conrad, Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Wright and Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Inman. Present
also were the honor pair's 18
grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.
Mrs. Kincaid is. the former
Annie Clay of Lenoir, where
the couple were married Dec.
29, }912. They have lived in
Greensboro since 1947. Mr. Kin
caid was in 4he lumber business
in Watauga county for IB years.
The honoree wore a medium
blue lace dress and a yellow
orchid. The refreshment table,
covered with gold satin, had a
central arrangement of a gold
surry with fringe on top, gold
and white flowers, golu leaves
and gold tapers. The white
cake was decoiated with gold
loses.
Fashion News
Hair styles being shown in
the lashion magazines remind
one of the Far lust. They may
make the press but the majority
of them are impractical tor the
average woman.
The trend upward is a be
coming one particularly for the
woman who is not so young but
she can modify it by not piling
the ball of hair so high.
Women who can afford the
high priced wigs are not bother
ed by extreme styles, but the
average woman cannot afford
to go in for fads as such styles
rarely last very long.
If one has short hair and
can afford a chignon she will
be able to have variety in her
hair-dos.
Shift dresses have come back
in style again although many of
them are worn with belts. The
bright wools are particularly
good this season and huge but
tons are used a great deal for
decorations.
Some of these garments have
a coat effect and have large
pockets in front? below the belt.
Wool suits with chiffon blous
es are favorites with many of
the cafe crowd. Others prefer
a sleeveless dress of light weight
wool which can be dressed up
with accessories.
While many lovely long dress
es are being shown for evening
wear the average woman in the
smaller cities prefers the short
dress except for very formal
occasions.
No excuse is as good a*, a
satisfactory performance.
Health and Beauty
Nothing give? a child more
happiness than to be allowed
to own a pet. However, the
child that has a pet should be
required to care for it u far
as he is able.
The very helplessness of their
dumb playmates will appeal to
the better nature of children.
Caring for pets teaches the'child
thoughtfulness, patience and
tenderness.
Inquiry was made some time
ago among a group of youthful
criminals, and it was discovered
that only a very few of them
had ever owned a pet in child
hood.
A lady told me recently that
a little boy stopped at her door
and asked for food. She told
him to sit on the steps while
he ate. He declined, saying that
he would take something in his
hand.
She watched him to see if he
would throw the food away, but
he crossed the street where his
dog was obediently waiting for
him. He divided the food exact
ly in half, ate one half himself
and gave hi? dog th? other half.
It is safe to assume that this
boy will not be found later in
life among a gang of criminals
and law-breaker*. He knows the
law of kindness, love and un
selfishness, aa was exemplified
in his consideration for his dog.
Yes, let your children have
pets, but see to it that they are
treated with kindness. The chil
dren will learn that dumb crea
ture* need love, that they ap
preciate and respond to it. They
will alstf learn that, as they
hunger and thirst, so does Rover
or Tabby.
When the child has a pet,
even though he doesn't feel like
doing it, he must be made to
understand that its wants must
be attended to. He will in this
way perceive a little of the
sacrifices that others make for
him.
It helps a child to realize that
his parents are always toiling,
sacrificing and planning for his
comfort and welfare, so he in
turn must care for his pete, who
cannot care for themaelves.

Plastics Get Tough
Plastic playthings have a new degree of originality, entertain
ment, and educational value as well as safety. Tailored plastics,
tough and versatile enough for hair dryers, refrigerator and
automobile parts, also prove themselves in the new "kid stuff."
Boiler skates molded of this, tough-as-a-bat plastic? except for
springs, axles and bearings? are guaranteed unbreakable in
normal usage.
Deceptively easy games of skill which challenge the logic of
shape and space, are available in lightweight, durable plastics.
Leading the parade of mechanical games, a battery operated
man of bronze plastic thinks for himself and proves a worthy
opponent for young and old. A sturdy cotton candy machine, like
those at the circus, offers safe fun and a taste treat to do-it-your
selfers of all ages. Hobby kits now include typical American
scenes, such as oowlers and Little League ball players, of large
snap- together pieces meant to be painted.
Any little girl will enjoy serving her friends with a beautifully
detailed lavender and white tea set complete with flatware of
plastic. Dolls are more precocious. One newcomer? a baby doll
with "skin" that invites your touch and a urethane foam body
as cuddly as an infant's ? says 12 different sentences at random
when she is hugged gently.
Hiere'11 be plenty of music in the air from true-tone break
resistant plastic instruments. A new flute, full-size replica of a
professional flute with tuned reeds, looks like finely engraved
silver. Color and number coded instruction books help children
play tongs without practice.
Spicy Pancakes Salute New Year!
Salute the New Year with spicily stuffed pancakes for a very
special brunch or supper. They're "just the thins" (or mid
winter servings ? satisfying and savory with lively flavored dev
iled ham and juicy, crisp apple. In fact, deviled ham lends itself,
zestily, to any number of pancake recipes. Try it, for instance,
spread between layers of pancakes, stacked and served with
aoured cream, maple syrup and a glorious hot orange sauce!
Spicily Staffed Pancakes
1 cup pancake mix 1 egg
/I cup milk 1 cup slivered apples
1 tablespoon liquid 1 ounce can deviled ham
shortening
Make pancakes according to directions on package. Fold in
apples, use a generous quarter cup of the batter for pancake.
Remove from griddle and spread with deviled ham. Roll and
place on heated platter. Serve with a dollop of soured cream.
Make A Hit With Cocoa- Almond Pie
When it's time for a party at your house, "Cocoa-Almond Party
tie" will guarantee iti success.
The creamy chocolate filling Boats on a bed of finely-chopped
almonds in this elegant chilled dessert. To give it extra flair,
you might top the pie with dollops at whipped cream encrusted
with cnsp toasted almond halves.
Whether chopped, halved, diced, slivered or whole, crunchy
almonds always provide tsiique flavor and texture. Use them
in poultry stuffings, soups, sandwich fillings and sauces for meat,
