Thursday, November 28, 1940 FEED FAMILY FIRST. SLOGAN Adequate Food Supply in the Home Major Plank in Farm Platform URGE BETTER GARDENS "Peed the family first" should be the slogan of North Carolina farm people during the coming year, says Miss Mary E. Thomas, Extension nutritionist of N. C. State College. In this connection she explains that an adequate fool supply in the home is the major plank in a successful agri cultural platform. • Analyzing first the weak points in the family food supply, Miss Thomas says: "We don't eat enough vegetables tomatoes, leafy vegetables, and root vege tables; not enough fruits, includ ing berries, grapes, apples, peach es, pears, plums, cherries and figs; not enough eggs in the diet of the average family, and some families have no poultry, not enough milk, cheese and butter, and there are seasons when some families have no milk; and lack of variety in meats—too much pork and not enough beef, veal and lamb." She recommends that gardens be enlarged and a greater variety of vegetables grown; that more small fruits be included in the family garden; that every family of five have 50 laying hens on the farm on October 1 of each year; that two cows be kept, one to freshen in the fall and the other in the spring; and better meth ods of storing and preserving meats, vegetables and fruits. "Food prejudices constitute one reason for inadequate diets," the Extension specialist declared, I WALKER'S I I 5c & 10c STORE 1 I tk \mmm ' is HEADQUARTERS FOR M Gift Bargains! | SrL Another Christmas is at hand, and as always Walker's 5c and 10c Store is more ffy than ready with two big floors loaded with gifts of every kind and description. # §[j} This year we have outdone ourselves in buying the largest and most complete ||r assortment of gifts and toys in our history!

"and many rural people need to learn the nutritive value of cer tain vegetables, fruits, dairy products and meats. They also need to be convinced of the econ omic value of veal and lamb as food." Miss Thomas has asked Home Demonstration Clubs to stress "food for the family first" as a defense measure during 1941. She THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA has prepared family food bud gets which are available upon request. Someone Must Move Policeman: "What are you standing here for?" Loafer: "Nothing."

Gibson, 41, of Troutman and Statesville, was arrested today by United States Deputy Marshal Paul Sossamon on a warrant charging using the mails to de fraud in violation of the postal laws and regulations. The warrant charges that Mrs. Gibson defrauded John Moroney, of Los Angeles, Calif., out of $4Bl, The complaint alleges that she had correspondence with Moron ey relative to marriage, repre senting herself as a free-lance writer having an estate of $15,- 000 and an annual income of sl,- 000, that she was a widow without children, that she would go to California and marry him if he would send her money, and that he sent her money at different times totaling $4Bl. Investigation revealed that Mrs. Gibson is not a free-lance writer, that she has no income, is di vorced and has a living son. It is alleged that she has been car rying on matrimonial correspond ence for some time, sending mail out from Troutman, Statesville, Catawba and other towns in this vicinity. Mrs. Gibson has been married twice. Her first husband is dead, and she was divorced from her second. Mrs. Gibson was brought be fore United States Commissioner E. B.
