Citrus fruit growing on the sunny side of the tree has been found richer in C than the fruit growing in the cen ter of the tree or on the shady sides. Tomatoes ripened in sun, not inju riously hot, have proved consider ably richer in C than those ripened in shade or in cloudy weather. o Smoke Appliances The army’s mechanical smoke generators come in two sizes. The largest, truck or trailer mounted, can blanket a square mile within 10 minutes. The smaller model, of foot locker proportions, can blot out an ■rea five or six miles long by 200 yards wide. The smoke pots vary from the 11 pound pot which burns for 6 minutes to the 30 pounder which smokes for 20 minutes. Waxing Furniture When waxing furniture, take care not to let the wax dry completely before polishing. Here treatment differs from that of floors—where the wax should be allowed to dry thoroughly (about 30 minutes) be fore polishing. THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS Woodland Fires Cut Deeply Into Forest Value Woodland fires affect the sales value of trees, seriously reduce their rate of growth and leave the woods less able to control soil ero sion and conserve moisture. Even trees that look unharmed after a fire actually suffer a loss in growth rate and become more susceptible to insect damage and decay, ac cording to L. B. Culver. University of Illinois extension forester. An accidental fire occurred in one of the university’s woodland im provement demonstration plots. Be fore the fire, the average annual rate of growth amounted to 405 board feet per acre. After the fire, growth averaged 60 board feet, a reduction of about 85 per cent. Soil is mellow and porous in a healthy forest, permitting rain to enter instead of run off. This ac tion prevents soil erosion and con serves soil moisture. When fire de stroys the protective layer of leaf Utter, humus and decayed matter, the forest soil becomes parched, hard and dry. The exposed soil is washed off by rains. The woodland is no longer capable of conserving soil and moisture. Work Out Fat-Saving Salad for Spring Greens A recipe for making a fat-saving salad dressing that is good on spring greens has been worked out. The recipe caUs for the usual in gredients of eggs, vinegar, milk, fat, sugar, salt, mustard, celery seed and paprika in these amounts: One or two whole eggs or three or four egg yolks; three tablespoons of vinegar; a third of a cup of milk; a tablespoon of table fat or mild-flavored drippings; half tea spoon of sugar; half teaspoon of salt; half teaspoon of mustard; an eighth teaspoon of celery seed and a dash of paprika, if you wish them. Beat the eggs and vinegar until you have a smooth mixture. Then add the milk and table fat. Then add the seasoning. Cook the salad dressing over hot water. Stir con stantly until the mixture is about as thick as heavy cream. Then pour it in a container, cover it and store the dressing in the refrigerator until you’re ready to try It out on a salad. Tomato Slowly Accepted It took a long time for English speaking people to accept the tomato as a food plant. It had been used to a considerable extent by the Incas of Peru and perhaps to a lesser extent by the Mayas in Mex ico, but apparently even with these people it had never achieved the popularity of potatoes, beans, com and squash. The tomato itself is such a close relative of England’s deadly nightshade that the English people were always afraid of it. In fact its scientific name Lycopersi cum means wolf peach. So, while the southern Europeans started us ing the tomato soon after the discovery of America, the English speaking people used it very little until a hundred years ago and it is only in the last 40 or 50 years that it has reached the place that it deserves in the list of foods. Water Uae The plants of one industrial com pany in the Youngstown, Ohio, dis trict used 95,303,710,000 gallons of water in 1945, an amount wfcich would provide the yearly home sup-; ply for a city with over 3,000.000 people. A bushel of tomatoes re quires 60 gallons of' water to reach maturity, and a dairy farm con sumes about five gallons of water for every gallon of milk produced. Use of steam for jirpduejion of the electricity ujed earn year in Ohio requires water enough a res ervoir one mile wide, 100 miles long, and 57 feet deep. When war pro duction pyramided industrial pro duction along the Mahoning river, some of the water went through 24 different factories _ before the luke warm residue escaped downstream. Cabbage Rolls Outside leaves may be used in making cabbage rolls, an econom ical meat dish. To make cabbage rolls, wash the leaves and wilt them •in hot, lightly salted water until they are limp enough to roll. Mix chopped cooked meat with chopped onion, crumbs or boiled rice, a little melted fat, pepper and salt, and moistei with gravy, milk, chili sauce or catsup. Put some of thii mixture on each leaf and roll it up. Place rolls in a baking dish, add hot gravy or a little hot water, cov er and bake in a moderate (350- degree) oven about three-fourths of an hour, or until the cabbage it tender. Weed Killer With proper use, 2.4-D, the new chemical weed killer, controls com mon annual and biennial aa well at common lawn weeds without in jury to grass. The chemical works best if applied when the temper atures are 70 degrees or above and plenty of soil moisture la available. This material is relatively non-poi sonou* to animals, non-corrosive, and is free from fire hazard if or dinary precautions ara taken. Many commercial variations of 2,4-D are on the market today which have a varied effect on weeda. The label on the container of these products should be examined carefully to de termine whether that particular brand will serve your need. Continued from page 1 Frying Pan.” Featured roles in “Claudia will be played by Katheryn Allen of Scarsdale, N. Y., Suzanne Natch mann of St. Louis and Adger Brown of Columbia. “Unpredictable as a June morn ing and twice as rare,” one of the New York critics said about “Claudia” which tells the story of Claudia’s meeting of life and her acquiescence to the demands that living makes upon her. The final curtain find her still the same en gaging young woman, but in the words of her mother she has learn ed to “hold close with open hands.” Advanced ticket saleed for “Claudia” are being held at the Bowen Hotel in Hendersonville, or reservations for seats can be made by writing box 66, Flatrock, N. C. Parking space is provided at the Playhouse, and coffee will be ser_ ved at intermission in the green room. Discover Dark Star in Southern Constellation The discovery of a new “dark Star" by Dr. Nicholas E. Wagman, acting director of the Allegheny ob servatory, University of Pittsburgh, is one of few such discoveries in history of astronomy. The star is the dark companion star of Alpha Ophiuchi, bright star of the Constel lation Ophiuchus of the southern summer skies. The first of these discoveries in 1844 established the companions of Sirius and Procyon. Since then there have been few others. The existence of another one be came known while Dr. Wagman was photographing certain bright •tars through an absorbln glass. His purpose was to make them appear as faint as very distant stars and thus establish distances. In the course of this work he no ticed the bright star of the constel lation moving in an orbit, indicat ing the presence of a dark star. He also noted the erratic path of Alpha Ophiuchi, a wavy-line course unlike straight courses of other stars. Subsequent research resolved the problem by showing that the dark star, in conjunction with the bright one was responsible for the pattern which Dr. Wagman de scribed as a "wobble.” According to Dr. Wagman these early investiga tions indicate the new discovery is a star similar to our sun. Its light, however, is obscured by the bright star which outshines It 20 times over. Disguize Symptoms Dosing members of the family for every complaint of illness is a dangerous practice; drugs disguise symptoms and thus delay diagnosis and treatment. o Cellar Steps A helpful home hint is to paint the edges of the cellar stair treads with a band of white paint which will make them easier to see. It’s very helpful to paint the bottom step solid white. x Broccoli Nutritious A half cup of broccoli contains 8.000 units of international vitamin A—a generous day’s allowance for anybody.
