Bootlegers Cheat
U.S. Out of Millions
While Washington seeks new tax
revenue to meet defense costs, it's
reported that a vast "underground"
industry is cheating the treasury out
of millions each year. According to
an estimate, bootleggers are actually
providing as much as one-third of all
liquor consumed today. Enforcement
officials "deserve great credit for the
job they are doing under severe han
dicaps." but they are fighting not
only a highly developed technique on
the part of bootleggers, but also a
lack of cooperation from the public.
How bootlegging "sabotages" de
fense was shown by an estimate that
8.750 light tanks or 2,700 modem pur- ?
suit planes could have been purchas
ed with the $175,000,000 represent- !
ed by unpaid federal taxes on last !
year's estimated illicit liquor traffic.
On this same basis, the loss in fed
eral taxes since repeal in 1933 has
l>een $1,000,000,000, while state treas
uries have been cheated out of an ad
ditional $70,000,000 a year, according
to reports.

One Out Of Five
Depend On Cotton
One out of every five people in
North Carolina is employed in the
production and manufacture of cot
ton. says H- W. Taylor, marketing
specialist of the N. C State College
Extension Service.
That's why this State should
place a special significance on Na
tional Cotton Week when it is ob
served the country over May 16-24.
he continued. In 1940 Tar Heel grow
ers produced 740,000 bales valued at
$35,150,000 and 329.000 tons of cot
tonseed valued at $7,370,000.
According to the 1940 census, cot
ton was grown on 103.248 of the
278.276 farms in the State. With an
average of 5 6 people on every farm,
this would mean that 600.000 are en
gaged either directly or indirectly in
the production of cotton
To that may be added the 175.000
textile employees engaged in the
manufacture of cotton. The two
groups together moan that about
one-fifth of the State's population
is dependent in some way on the
outcome of each cotton crop.
The State College specialist point
ed out that many organizations have
been enlisted in promoting Cotton
Week. Among these are the National
Cotton Council and the Southeast
ern Chain Store Council. T B Up
church. Jr.. of Raeford, chairman
of the North Carolina-Virginia unit
of the Cotton Council, has enlisted
the support of all farm and home
agents and Chambers of Commerce

May pea market prices, start
ing off at a strong pace, have
dropped to the starvation level
of 5 cents a pound, laical house
wives were puzzled when they
went on the market recently and
found the new price in effect.
Interested in the marked drop,
they were advised that Farmer
Hugh M. Hurras had come on
the market with production
from his twelve "farms."
Farmer Hurras, truck farming
on an unusually large scale, is
making plans for supplying
much of the local market this
season, but just now dry wea
ther and cool nights are retard

Whoever it was who first named
the dish that we now term "hash"
probably did not realize what a con
tribution she made to homemakers
the wqrld over in their efforts to
solve the ever present problem of
what to do with left-overs.
Although every cook has her own
idea of what "hash" is. based, of
course, on the manner in which she
prepares it in her own home, it
might be interesting to note how the
eminent Webster, defines the origi
nal way to use up leftovers. "Hash?
a form ot minced food prepared from
material previously cooked, as meat,
potatoes, bread crumbs, etc., and re
cooked by stewing or frying." You
can see from this definition that
?hash may cover a multitude of sins.
So let's raid the refrigerator and
clean up all the odds and ends using
your own ideas or some of the ones
listed below.
Bread Dressing King
Break or cut up left over bread in
small pieces, making sufficient quan
tity hi fill your ring mold. Brown in
butter a little diced onion, celery and
green pepper, add to bread and pack
in ring mold. Bake in moderate oven I
350* until dressing is firm Unmold j
and fill center with mixed left over'
vegetables which have been added !
to cream sauce. Garnish with pimen
to
Cream Sauce
1 c milk, scalded
2 tbsp flour
Pepper
"2 tbsp butter or butter substitute
! -2 tsp salt
Combine butter or butter substi
tute and flour. Add milk slowly, stir
ring constantly. Cook over hot water
until thick arid smooth. Add salt and
a few grains pepper. Use for prepar
ing creamed and scalloped foods.
Mashed Potato Mounds
Shape the cold left over mashed '
potatoes into mound and dip in heat
en egg, then into corn flakes that
have been rolled fine. Place on but
ti red baking dish and bake at 300* j
until thoroughly heated--about'30 I
to 40 minutes. These have all the I
advantages of croquettes but the!
preparation of them is much more
simplified An ideal accompaniment
is ( learned or buttered canned peas.
Meat Casserole with Mashed
Potatoes and Peas
Arrange in a buttered casserole al
ternate layers of left over sliced
meat, such as chicken or turkey, and
slices of dressing. Pour over this the
left over gravy and then top the i
dish with a generous layer of re- j
heated and thoroughly whipped, <
creamy mashed potatoes. Make a de- |
pression in the center of the potato
topping and fill this with tender
canned peas. Brush top with melted
butter and .bake in a moderate oven
(350*) until all contents are thor
oughly heated and potato topping is
a delicate brown.

family thrill you when a new recipe
clicks with success? If this is the case

Alcoholics Book Is

Richmond?Medical evidence that
the book. Alcoholics Anonymous,
helping to make total abstumers of
drunks was presented to the Ameri
can Psychiatric Association recent
ly
Alcoholics Anonymous was de
seribed by Dr Walter A Thompson J
of Rockland (N.Y I state hospital
It is a book issued in 1931 by anony !
mous. recovered chroiuc alcoholics
The book, he said, is founded on
the principle that the drinker is
powerless himself against alcohol '
and can only recover by turning his i
will over to a power greater than I
himself; "God as we understand
him." Alcoholics Anonymous clubs
assist, going anywhere, any time, to
help any alcoholic who wants them
Over 50 per cent of the men at
Rockland who took this treatment,
said Or. Thompson, had been restoi
ed to normal life. Often these men
relapsed once or twice.
