CORN MEAI. RESTORED
It was from the American Indians
that the colonial housewife learned
to use corn in many ways. The rip
ined golden grain crushed between
the two stones produced a meal from
which the appetizing corn bread or
'Johnny Cake" could be made. This
became and has remained so popu
lar a dish as justly to be called the
American dish," lieing varied in |
different localities.
From the primitive hand mortar I
and pestle grinding for individual |
family use developed the commun
ity mill where the farmers of the I
neighborhood brought their corn to |
be ground. The crushing and grind
ing was done by two grooved stones
lurned by water power, hence the
term "water ground." This was con
sidered by most people as the best
kind of cornmeal. With the increas
ed demand and growing population
the large centralized milling plants
have almost completely eliminated
the old type mill.
Here are some good recipes to pro
duce a cornbread light, moist and |
tender.

THE SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
IN THE NORTH CAROLINA BEER INDUSTRY'S
"Clean lip. or Close Hp CAMPAIGN
Twenty months ago this Committee launched a
program to aid state and local authorities weed
out those scattered few beer retailers who, by
practices unbecoming good citizens, tended to
bring reproach on the great majority of law
abiding retailers. "Clean up or close up" was
the ultimatum. The results, we feel, speak for
elves.
To date, 142 retail beer licensees have been elim
inated because they used their permits to shield
illegal activities. Thus are being removed the
bad spots that, left alone, would ignore the high
standard of conduct demanded by public senti
ment and by the legalized beer industry.
As a new year begins, this Committee renews
its pledge to carry forward its program of self
regulation for the beer industry in North Caro
lina. YOU can help by restricting your patron
age to orderly, law-abiding outlets.
Asheville Oltisen: 'The beer
Industry in this state as rep
resented by the Brewers and

basis and to divorce them

been applied to bootlegging to
the material benefit of the
