These two' points have never before been brought so in touch with each other and never has had such an opportuni ty presented itself for the co-operative development of motor travel a- long this artery extending from the Blue Waters of Ontario to the Coral Reefs of Florida. Arrangements have been made for the printing and distribution of 100,- 000 maps through the North and South and we predict that travel to sunlit Florida the coming Fall and Winter will be heavier than at any time of that State's history. This prediction is not a mere guess but is based on a careful study of condi tions made during our trip. Like everything else, tourist travel goes where the greatest effort is made to get it. That this business is worth while may be judged from the records which show that the av erage tourist party spends $12.80 per day while actually on the road. Surely no alert community can af ford not to participate in this effort. Yours very truly, L. S.

Within the hort space of about one year the members of this expe dition have consumed almost the en tire original shipment of two and one half tons of Bokar coffee This quantity of coffee means 5,000 one pound tins, enough to supply a nor mal family for more than ten years It is natural for the men on Little America, where they are enduring the bitterest cold known to man, to have a keen desire for a steaming hot cup of this stimulating beverage and this huge consumption of coffee is a certain sign of their liking the par ticular brand that is served. Their request for coffee is being answered immediately by the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company. A shipment of five hundred pounds of Bokar coffee, of which the A&P food stores sell more than one million pounds a month, is being sent on the whaling vessel, Nielsen-Alonso, which left Norfolk this week and is sailing direct to the ice barrier on which the expedition is camped. This will reach the barrier around Christmas as it is impossible for a ship to break hrough before that time. Mr. C. M. Burnett and family and took from them the loving companion and precious mother. Her sudden death was quite a shock to her family as well as to her many friends. She ias sick only a few hours. Mrs. Burnett will not onlv be arreat- ly missed by her relatives, to whom she was faithful, compassionate and cheerful, but by her numerous friends whom she had won by her kind, friendly way. She always had a word and a smile for all those whom she met. Mrs. Burnett is survived by her husband, Mr. C. M. Burnett, and six children, whose names are as follows: Mr. E. O. Burnett of Alexander, a teacher in Marshall school, Mr. Ralph Burnett of West Asheville, Mr. liar land Burnett of Bryson City, Mrs. J. A. Rice of Marshall, Mrs. J. G.

McDaris of Alex ander, and Mr. Canory McDaris of Barnard; two sisters Mrs. Elsie Burnett and Mrs. Gertie Whitted of Asheville. The service was held from the Grand View Baptist church of which she was an active member, Tuesday morning, September seventeenth, at eleven o'clock, by Rev. Perry and Ev erett Sprinkle and Rev.

Miss Roberts had been a vic tim of tuberculosis for four years. Her loving parents, Rev. and Mrs. L. C. Roberts, had done all they could to alleviate suffering and to prolong life as long as possible, and no one expected the end to come so soon. During her affliction she had spent some time at the State Sanatorium, and recently at Asheville, and her specialist had encouraged her by his remarks about her condition.

During her affliction, she was always in fine spirits, cultured, refined, dignified, an example of Christian character. Her popularity was proven by the im mense throng of people who attended the funeral and the exquisite floral offerings. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. J. R. Owens of Mars Hill and special music was by Mars Hill talent. Miss Roberts is survived by her parents and two sis ters, Mrs. J. L.

Honess Optometrist Since 1900 No. 3 Flatiron Building Ground Floor ASHEVILLE, N. C. SAFEGUARDING THE PERISHABLES By KATHERINE G. CORNELL Director of the Keivinator Domestic Institute THE modern housewife now toes to market for her fam ily's food supplies. She per sonally selects iliC meats, vc;'.: tables, fruits, buuer, eggs and cheese giving the greatest care, the most thojghtful alU-nti n to every smallest detail.. She insists ' that her meats shall be wholesome ana sounc:; her truits and vege tables fresh and flavorful; butter of the best; eggs large, clean and meaty. The thoughtful woman buys only in modern, clean shops. The milk for her children comes from mod ern, sanitary dairies. And when the foods she Jsas selected with such care and discrimination are received in her kitchen, this mod ern, intelligent housewife contin- ues her watchfulness ? over them. She Sees to it that they are kept in the very best possible condi tion until they are prepared lor e table. Food Storing a Problem This storing of perishable foods : quite as important a matter as j Cir careful selection. r That they t ust be kept cold is an Accepted xt; but how cold, and in what jrpe of cold, is not so generally ; Understood. ; rf ", . In the first place, the tempera ure must be uniform.' : It is quite mpossible to preserve the texture ( delicate . fruits, the fine flavor of butter and ' the freshness of meats m a temperature that va - ries anywhere between' 45 and 70 ' degrees. .And when the freshness has left these delicate foods, when their texture has been . broken down, they become breeding places. for minute but devastating spores : and bacteria. Therefore, the first; thing to determine about the place: in which these perishable and ex pensive foods are to be stored is whether or not it is so construct ed . as to provide a uniform low temperature. ' Bacteria thrive in an atmos phere of over 50 degrees. Below 50 decrees is the correct tempera tore for all perishable foods. . The condition of the' atmosphere also must be taken into consideration as moisture is conducive to mold, and mold is the first step toward spoilage. - Dry Cold Prevents Spoiling In the dry; evenly cold tempera ture of the . modern, : well-made electric refrigerator,' foods simply cannot mold' or sooiL The tent- nerature is always -well below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmos phere in the food chambers is too dry to admit of spoilage. It is so dry, in fact, that - meats, delicate fruits and vegetables are best pre served when stored in covered utensils.' So protected in the elec tric refrigerator, they will keep wholesome for a week or even longer. Even after cooking, perishable foods often must be kept for some time before they are eaten; and cold is the only safe protection for them, as well as for the raw foods. Custards, creams, cooked vege tables, and other left-overs, which make tempting made over dishes, also must be kep$ in a uniformly Cold atmosphere. ; '; And then there are foods which are . eaten in their natural -state. These -are rapidly growing in num ber, l we learn more of their val ues; and onlv cold will reserve 1 these foods properly. .In the dry, cold atmosphere of a modern, per-; fectly constructed electric refri-'" gerator. they will keen-fresh and inviting and afe for. a surprising- ' ly long period. - .. . . C On August 4th, 1929, Mrs. Kliza beth Ray, of Barnardsville, our af fectionate mother, and devoted wife of H. Newton Kay, departed this life to join the company of the angels. She was 79 years. 9 months and 24 days old when she died. She married H. Newton Ray at the age of 18 years, he then being only 16 years old. They lived happily to gether 53 years, and were the parents of thirteen children, two of whom, Emmit Newton and Hiram Jasper, died in infancy. The oldest son, af ter rearing a family, died in Okla homa City, Okla. Then Father died at the good old age of 69. Six sons and four daughters are still living. Mrs. Elizabeth Ray was an earnest devoted Christian, having been a ser vant of the Lord perhaps 65 years. She was strong in faith, active in practice, abounding in charity. Flat tery would be out of place, I am sure, even in the life of a good man, or woman, but there is little chance of flatery here. The only danger is that I'll touch too lightly and feebly on such a venerable life. "She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands." "She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth. meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens." (She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengthenth her arms." "She layeth her hand to the spindle, and her hand hold the dis taff." "Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come." "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness." If ever these truths were lived out in a hu man life, they surely were lived out in Mother's life. She was faithful upon attendance at religious services, and was at al most every revival, although she was not of the sort that got warmed up during the revival, and forgot about religion till the next revival came. Revival fires were ever kept kindled in her heart. Those who know her best will tell you that idleness was little part of her make-up. She was ever finding some useful work, some labor of love, or she was enter taining, or she was visiting the sick. Reading the Bible was food and nourishment to her, and reading good j books was more than a pastime. She was a strong believer in the power of closet or secret prayer, and the happiest hour of the day seemed to be that sweet hour of prayer that she spent in communion and fellow ship with God. This seemed to be the secret of her spiritual vigor and courage and her abiding peace. In young manhood, the writer, while on the farm in at tending to the chores of feeding the flock, Aould often hear the voice of Mother going up to God for the up building of His Kngdom, the over throw of the evil, and especially the salvation of her children. She, it seemed, could not bear the thought of one being missing at the Heavenly - reunion. Her last days on earth were spent in advising others, among whom her . children, how they ought to live, and telling them to be cheerful after aha was gone. J The rule of her life, that of think ing of others, and their comfort, be fore her own, held good to the very " ' last of about the most benevolent, courageous, and unselfish life I ever knew. - At the very last moments of life a i portion of Heaven seemed to come , down and so fill her soul, that its glory, like the glory of Moses' face of old, was registered upon her dying earthly form, perhaps as a witness, and those who were present witness to these things, saying she had the most peaceful look they ever sanr. . This is written that her children may better remember Mother, and settle it definitely iA their hearts to meet her in the skies. v , i ; Surely this scripture was fulfilled in her Kfe, "Her children arise up and call her bleesed." Prov. 31:28. WELZIE O. RAY . " v Barnardsville, N. C
