LETTERS I
From SERVICE MEN J
Somewhere In New Guinea,
November 25, 1943.
The Franklin Press and
The Highlands Maconlan,
Franklin, North Carolina,
Gentlemen:'
Your newspaper Is received l?y
Robert Frazler of our Company,
and all of us boys enjoy read
ing it. We would like to see
something printed about Frank
lin's only representative in this
outfit. v
Bob has Just been promoted
to the rank of Corporal for his
fine work. He is certainly doing
his share toward winning this
war and you citizens of Frank
lin can justly feel proud of him.
Bob is now stationed some
where in New Guinea and would
like to be remembered to all of
his friends back in Franklin.
Sincerely yours,
?Sergeant Horace Male.
Mrs. Brag Hlgdon of Cullaaa
ja, recently received the follow
ing letter from her son, Gray
son, who is serving in the Med
iterraean area.
Dear Mama: ,
Will write you a few lines to
night. I am well and hope you
are the same. I received the
Christmas card and letter a few
days ago. Sure was glad to get
them. I got a package from T.
B. and wife yesterday. It is the
only package I've gotten so far.
Well, I have been in the Army
33 months to-day. It seems as
though it had been a life time.
It is hard to recall how things
were in civilian life.
How is T. B. liking the Navy
life by now? Fine, I hope. If a
man got homesick in service, I
don't see hardly how he could
stand it, especially over here.
One thing I can say about my
self, is that I don't get home
sick. Don't misunderstand me,
though, I had rather be home.
It is Just a few days to
"Thanksgiving Day" or the day
set aside by the Government.
But we should use the other 364
days in the year to be thankful
also.
May God bless you all. Love,
GRAYSON.

State College Hints
For Farm Homemakers
By RUTH CURRENT .
Don't throw away those chick
en feet I There's plenty of good
flavor in the bones. Scald the
feet for a few minutes and
then peel off the scaly yellow
skin. Next, simmer the feet in
a saucepan, with water to cover,
for 45 minutes. Strain the broth
and use it for added richness
in chicken gravy, soup or with
chicken and noodles. The broth
can also be substituted for part
of the milk in making white
sauce for creaming leftover
chicken.
Fat is so precious these days
of rationing that every drop
should be used to the best ad
vantage. Hens generally have a
large amount of fat. This fat,
after being rendered, is dell
clous when used as a shorten
ing for bisqults, pies, some pud
dings and bread.
Chicken fat should be used
in the same quantity as any
other fat.
Scrambled eggs can be turn
ed into a hearty low-point main
dish by adding to them leftover
meats such as chicken, bacon,
hamburger, or scraps of roast.
Tuna or salmon, whether left
overs or not, can be added also.
Cooked, chopped green peppers,
canned tomatoes, and a table
spoon of cream or top milk for
each egg used, stretches eggs
farther and gives a smoother
"scramble."
There is no need to waste
even bread crumbs of bread.
Save all crusts or pieces which
are left in the bread box. Then
when the stove oven is cooling
after use, place the bread scraps
on a flat cookie sheet or pie
tin and allow them to dry in
the slightly heated oven.
When crisp, crush the bread
with a rolling pin or put it
through a food chopper. 8tore
the crumbs in a metal or glass
jar until needed.
