This time of year our
thoughts turn towards the
yard and our minds mull over
all the chores needed to be
done while the weather is
still coed. Lawn mowers
have already been busily
worUog in our neighborhood
levelling off the uneven stands
of winter grass. The bum of
the mower signals a turn of
season and the odor of wild
onions pervades the air.
We ffl^e a resolution in our
family that yard priority num
ber one would be er^cat-
lon of tbe wild onions which
seem to be taHng over our
yard. Reluctant to saturate

2 eggs
1 cap sour cream
1/4 lb. grated long bom
cheese
1/2 cup salad oil
1 ctgi com meal
3 tb^, halting powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup diced canned jala-
penos (peppers)
Beat eggs, add sour cream,
oil and com. Add all dry in
gredients and mix well. Blend
in cheese and peppers. Poor
into a greased 10" cast iron
skillet. Bake in 425 degree
oven for at least 45 minutes
or until golden brown. This
recipe makes a deliciously
sidey com bread which is good
served with pinto beans or
western style barbecue.
This week’s recipe is given
to us by Doris Howie, wife of
John Howie, who isamarket
ing representative for Trans
continental Gas Pipeline. John
is from Texas where this re
cipe also originates. Tbe
Howie family cousists of
Gary, 9th grader; Mitch, 8tfa

Susan who is in 4th grade, and
they bave lived in Kings Moun
tain for nine years. Last
month John was elected pre
sident of the Kings Mountain
Country Club.
the area with weed killer,
we decided to eliminate the
offensive ptantc by 'iigging up
each clump, bulb by bulb.
Tbe target was one bucket
ful! per day for Ray and my
self and tbe children would
help whenever possible.
We seemed to be maMng
excellent headway, if tbe site
of heap of polled onions was
any lirtlcatlnn. However, a
glance at tbe backyard reveal
ed a mere slight indentatioo
in tbe dark green lush shoots.
Tbe wet weather last week
really impeded our progress
and we have not even cleared
one tenth of tbe yard. We'll
bave to plan our onion battle
strategy for tbe faU season

There is one consolatloo,

HEALTH
BEAUTY
With tbe arrival of spring
you will hear a lot about
cutting liquids aixi salt in
your diet if you want to lose
weight.
The reduction of salt in
your diet, except under a
doctor's care, is foolish and
dangerous—very much so dur
ing warm weather. Restric
tion of liquids is of no use
whatever. If you cut down
on liquids in a few days you
will lose pounds rapidly.
However, your weight will
go right back up as soon as
your thirst causes you to re
turn to your normal intake
of water.
Water is essential to life.
You can go without food for
weeks, but you die of thirst
within a short time. Our
bodies are seventy per cent
water.
If you don’t drink enough
iiquid. your body wiil ex
tract and retain tbe water
you must have from the
"solid” foods you eat. This
will interfere with elimina
tion and other important body
processes.
Remember cutting down
on liquids causes a certain
loss of water—not fat. In fact
many doctors advise an in
creased amount of liquias
during a reducing diet.

THE 60DFATHEBS
Acclaimed as one of the
best gangster movies ever
made, "The Godfathers" is
a melodram,a about the hid
den world of Italian-Ameri-
can gangsters.
It’s not a pretty story but
an immensely moving story
of a crime dynasty and the
family life of the Corleone
family. They're doomed to a
lifetime sentence of fear,
hiding and looking at tbe
world through dimly lighted
windows, while at the same
time showing strong love
and devotion within the
family unit.
Marlon Brando, as the
Corleone patriarch sets the
pace of the film although his
role is not a large one. His
make-up is excellent. Some
claim it’s Brando’s best part

Mountain were vocalists along
with four young meD--tbey
sang songs by tbe Carpenters
in some time. The real scene
stealer, however, is young
Don Vito Corleone played
by A1 Pacino.
Pacino, a worthy actor in
only his second film, plays
the college-educated son
who takes over the Corleone
business. Excellent char
acterizations are given by
the entire cast (many of Ital
ian background).
In plain language it’s a
bloody picture—murders and
violence—and is rated "R—
with persons under 17 not
admitted without parent or
guardian.”

LOUISA’S
LETTER
Dear Louisa.
A cousin of ours is run
ning for election to an of
fice in our town and he is
against a man who has al
ways been a friend of our
family. We thought, when
they entered the race that it
would be a friendly one and
just a matter of issues but
both of them have started
saying bad things about the
other and accusing them of
all sorts of things.
Now ray problem is this;
My cousin thinks I should
get in the battle and help
him gel elected by spreading
the same tales he is telling
and I am not about to get
into this. Do you consider
me disloyal to the family as
he says I amv
Cous in—S.J.
Answer:
I think a person should
always be loyal to his fam
ily but that doesn’t include
spreading gossip about other
people or breaking up life
long friendships to help a
politician get elected.
My a d V i c e to you is to
keep quiet, mind your own
business and vote for your
cousin.
Very often we find that
the same politicians who are
belaboring each other be
come firm friends and are
working for each other later
on. But If you have said det
rimental things about the
candidate those things are
not so easily forgotten by
him.
Louisa.
