Mrs. Helen Smith of our New
Bern High school faculty is still
glowing with happiness over that
long distance call she got from
Washington, D. C., on her birthday.
Members of her class who were
attending the National Citizenship
Conference took time out from
■their exciting round of activities
to place the call and chat with her.
It was a nice gesture, and showed
how thoughtful some students can
be.
Thoughtfulness is a wonderful
habit, and if you work at it you’ll
discover that bringing joy to others
is the best way to bring joy to
yourself. Look around you, and
see if you don’t agree that the hap
piest teen-agers on our campus are
the ones who aren’t self-centered.
Rarely is it necessary to make a
long distance call from a distant
city to indicate your thoughfulness.
You can usually do it with a get-
v/ell card, a visit to a sick room,
surprise letter to an old friend
who hasn’t heard from you in a
long time, or even with a smile
when some acquaintance or strang
er crosses your path.
.Speaking of letters, the ability
to write an interesting letter is
something we should all strive for.
Not only is it a big help in our
personal correspondence, but is a
real asset when you're writing a
f.'usiness letter.
If we’re writing to a stranger,
the only way they can judge us is
by the letter we have written. Be

careful to avoid misspelling, and
of course be very neat. Many ap
plicants for jobs are turned down
because their written applications
revealed unattractive characteris
tics.
Just as important of course is
the use of good English in our con
versations with others. All of us
are judged by our English, just as
we form unfavorable opinions our
selves when we hear someone mis
pronounce words or use a word im

Apples Are Food
With Eye Appeal,
Specialist Says
Apples are eye-catchers as well
as appealing to the taste. Whether
red, green, or yellow, they are a
food with eye appeal.
According to Mrs. Ruby P. Uzzle.
consumer marketing specialist for
the N. C. Agricultural Extension
Service, apples are a versatile fruit
that may be eaten raw and in com
bination with other foods. Apples
are low in calories'and make good
b^tween-meal snacks.
To gel the most in apple enjoy
ment, look for variety that suits
family tastes and uses you have in
mind. Many varieties are good for
all purposes—general cooking, bak
ing whole, eating raw. Late sum
mer apples are likely to be juicy,
tart, quick-cooking and especially
good as applesauce and in pies.
When you buy apples, you should
know' what you are buying. Kind
of apples and the quality you buy
depends upon two factors; Storage
facilities and the use you plan to
make of them.
Keep these facts in mind when
you shop: .
One pound provides three medi
um apples; one pound of apples
yields 112 cups applesauce; three
pounds provide nine medium size
apples, just right for nine-inch pie;
and one peck provides 24 to 36 me
dium apples.
When you buy apples, look for
good color for the variety. This
will indicate full flavor. Look for
firmness, which is the sign of good
condition.

MARRIAGE -
(Continued fiom Page 1)
Under existing laws, an appli
cant for a marriage license in Crav
en county can be as young as 16
and still obtain the license with a
parent’s consent. Occasionally,
someone other than the parent will
impersonate the mother or father,
but succeeding in the perpetration
of such a hoax is something else.
Unless you have ample identifi
cation to prove you’re actually the
parent, you’ve gotten yourself into
real trouble. And, if you succeed
ed temporarily in the deception,
you would be in an even more
serious predicament since the
phoney parent is held directly re
sponsible rather than the bride
and groom,
\ Of course, the bride and groom,
regardless of age, may in good
faith be bargaining for trouble too,
for years to come.

VA officials generally are taking
active parts in the planning for the
observance by committees at the
local and state levels, as well as
nation-wide.
The aim of the movement gen
erally is to focus attention on the
fact that it’s good businss to hire
the handicapped and that in all
tests of job performance disabled
persons have demonstrated that
they can perform as well or better
than unhandicapped persons in job

Skillef One-Dish
Meals Save Time
Quick, one-dish meals save the
homemaker time in preparation,
serving, and washing dishes. The
one-dish pattern is simple and can
usually cook while you are doing
other chores.
A protein food, which is the bas
is of the true one-dish meal, is nec
essary for building and keeping
strong muscles. Starchy foods add
bulk and energy at comparatively
low cost. Succulent or watery veg
etables supply health protecting
minerals and vitamins.
