Young People Enjoy
Social In Love Field
Last Wednesday evening Misses
Juanita Norton, Ethel Haskett and
Nola Higdon were hostesses at a
social in Mr. Dennis Hidon's mea
dow. Several interesting games
were played and a debate, "Re
solved that the word "Obey" should,
be taken out of the marriage vow"
with Mary Vance taking the af
firmative and Hayes Conner the
negative. The decision was ren
dered in favor of the negative side.
Boone Jackson from East La
Porte and Jo Hetta Monteith were
looking for the hidden treasure,
but before leaving they caused
much fun by Boone dressing in
woman's full attire and Jo Retta
in a man's costume. This was very
amusing to everyone.
Lemonade, cookies, and marsh
mallows were served to the fifty
persons present for the occasion.

Mrs. Montieth Hostess
For Legion Auxiliary
On Friday evening Mrs. O. E.
Montieth was hostess for the Aug
ust meeting of the William E. Dil
lard unit of the American Legion
auxiliary. The president, Mrs.
Dan Tompkins, presided over the
business session.
The chapter voted to give a
donation oi $25 to be used as relief
for the children of needy veterans.
It was announced that all dues
should be. pjid at the September
meeting.
The guest speaker for the meet
ing was Mrs. Clarence Baies of
Robbinsville, a charter member
and ofticer of the William E. Dil
lard unit which was organized in
1924. Mrs. Bales told about its
organization and some of its early
activities. She then made a most
informing talk on Universal Mili
tary Training as proposed by the
American Legion.
Peggy Jo Sutton, one of the girls
sent by the local unit to Girls State
at Greensboro college last spring,
made a report on her stay there.
The auxiliary is very much pleased
with the work done at Greensboro
by Miss Sutton and Miss Mary
Soderquist, also sent by the unit,
from Sylva High this year. Plans
are to send two other girls from
another high school in the county
next spring.
Specia-1 guests at the meeting
were Mrs. David Hall and Mrs.
bers of the William E. Dillard unit.
Mrs. Montieth served a salad
course to her guests.
Record slaughter of cattle and
calves is in prospect for 1947 which
will result in a sharp reduction in
the numbers of cattle and calves
on farms.
Strong demand and prospects
for smaller output is likely to keep
farmers' prices high in the next
few months, according to BAE.
July crop reports pointed to a
two percent smaller production
than in 1946. The wheat crop is a
record and several other crops will
be large.

With a vegetable pan in your re
frigerator to keep vegetables cold
and crisp, a few tins of shell fish,
fish, pimientos, etc., your pantry
shelves, you can whip up a salad?
and vary them too?very easily.
When it is summer, however, and
fruit as well as vegetables are plen
tiful, the salad possibilities become
more numerous. Today I'm donating
some ideas on the subject of salads.

Act quickly if you spill acid on

First, rinse the .-tain several

baking soda or ammonia water..
Water alone may not restore color

sprinkle it on both sides of the ?

rinse well .with water. If am

LOOKING BACKWARD
From the Files of The Rurallte
of 15 years ago
The North Carolina 1947 spring
pig crop totaled 831,000 head, an
increase of 6 percent over last
year.
Custom rate for combining wheat
in North Carolina averaged $3.90
per acre in 1943, compared with
$2.90 in 1938.
In 1938, North Carolina oat pro
ducers harvested 12 percent of
their oat acreage with combines,
in 1945, 44 per cent of the oatr
acceage was harvested by com
bines.
High prices received by North
Carolina farmers on June 15 for
cotton, meat animals, and poultry
products, pushed the index for all
farm products to 261 percent of
the 1910-14 average.
