STANCILL-FLOWERS
(Washington Daily News)
A ceremony which united two of
Washington's popular young folk
took place on Saturday, December
12th at half after six o'clock in the
afternoon in the First Christian
Church, when Miss Adelene Flowers
became the bride of Pvt. William E.
Stancill, with the United States
Army, stationed at Fort Bragg. The
Rev. Harold Tyler, pastor of the
church where the bride and bride
groom worship, spoke' the marriage
vows.
! Prior to the ceremony, Mrs. Alton
Weatherly, church organist, played
a program of nuptial music using as
her selections, "Poeme," by Fibith;
"The Rosary," by Nevin, and the
traditional marches by Wagner and
Mendelssohn were played as the pro
cessional and recessional. Miss Mary
O'Neal Pope, of Willaimston, soloist,
sang "Because," by D'Hardelot, and
Schubert's Serenade was softly play
ed as the young couple pledged their
troth.
The bride and bridegroom entered j
i the church together unattended and
j took their place before the altar. The
i bride, a lovely brunette, was attired
in a two-piece tailored suit of beige
chiffon wool.
The bride is the attractive daugh
ter of Mr and Mrs. Jesse J. Flowers
of South Creek. She received her
early education in the Aurora schools
and graduated from the Aurora high
school. She later took a business
course and after receiving her di
ploma accepted a position with B.
E. Singleton, manager of the Beau
fort County Storage Warehouse, and
several months ago went to Wil
liamston where she has been em
ployed with the Davis Pharmacy.
Mr. Stancill is the older son of
Mr. and Mrs. William G. Stancill
who reside on North Market Street
extension. He attended the local high
school, graduated from Porter Mili
tary Academy, and later attended
The Citadel in Charleston, S. C. Pri
or to entering the United States
Army on August 12th, he was em
ployed with the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company with head
quarters in Greensboro. Due to his
previous training he is now a pri- j
vate in the signal corps and is sta-1
tioned at Fort Bragg.
Immediately following the cere
mony Pvt and Mrs. Stancill left for
a wedding trip and after a ten day
furlough Mr. Stancill will return to
Fort Bragg and Mrs. Stancill will
make her home here temporarily. [

State College Hints
For Farm Homes
By RUTH CURRENT
Home economists of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture advise tak
ing a tip from the gas station boy
.who cleans your windshield, or from
the man who cleans hotel windows.
They have to know quick, easy meth
ods of getting clear glass. They nev
er use soap because they know that
it streaks the glass and is hard to rub
dry. And they never use rags that
shed lint either.
Do you feel like a flat tire at four
o'clock in the afternoon? Then, may
be what's wrong with you is your
lunch. Perhaps you need vitamins?
not the kind you get by buying pills,
but the kind you derive from includ
ing raw fruits and vegetables in
^our lunch. The next time you have
your lunch, be sure to include fresh
fruit, maybe bright yellow carrot
sticks, a couple of stalks of celery,
a tomato or a bit of cabbage. These
would all fit well in a lunch pail,
too. If you like sandwiches, try a
combination that includes a fresh
raw vegetable, a meat and chopped
raw spinach special, or try raisins,
cheese and carrot spread.
"Do your feet hurt?" asks the Con
sumer Guide. Seven out of 10 peo
ple, the Consumers' Guide reports,
have foot trouble of some kind, us
ually due to poorly fitted shoes.
You can't get your right size just
by asking the clerk for a certain size.
Don't go by the size of your last
shoes either, because there is no
standard for shoe sizes. Don't guess
I your size. Have your feet measured
each time you buy shoes, and keep
| on trying shoes until you get a real
ly comfortable pair.
Never buy shoes that need altera
tions.
Allow one-half inch beyond the
end of your big toe to the end of the
shoe inside. The ball of the foot (lit
tle toe to the great toe joint) should
rest on the widest part of the sole.
The shank of your shoe should fit
snugly under your arch.
"Know-HouP New
Word In War Task
A word that is being used more
^md more- as American industry di
rects its energies to supplying the
armed forces with the weapons of
war is "know-how." It means just
what it says?how to make things
faster and better ? applying the
knowledge gained from long years
of experience. In turning out thous
ands of passenger and freight cars,
for instance, Pullman-Standard Car
Manufacturing Company developed
production techniques down through
the years. Now this "know-how" is
being used in the production of
tanks, howitzers, gun carriages,
shells and other war material and
in training workers to build submar
ine patrol vessels which soon will
slide down the ways. To build these
vessels, workers had to be trained,
but the knowledge ? the "Know
How"?gained in constructing mod
ern all-welded, lightweight freight
cars and streamlined trains simpli
fied this problem.
Printing of the country's new all
purpose ration books will take 87,000
pounds of ink, 7,500 pounds of paste,
half a million pounds of boxing.
The shoe should hug your heel,
with no gaping and no slipping when
you walk. The fit should be firm at
the bottom of the heel as well as at
the top.
