Fatally Hurt Last Week Near Enfield Sixth Highway Death In County In 1941 Charles E. Shelly of Washington, D. C., died in a Rocky Mount hos pital last week as a result of an accident on U. S. Highway 301 near Enfield last Monday night. Shelly, who was alone at the time of the accident, was found in an uncon scious condition and taken to the hospital. Identification was made by a card required of all taxi drivers. A certificate for safe driving was found in the victim’s possession. Investigating officers believe that the man was rounding the curve on which the accident occurred at a rapid rate of speed. The road was wet at the time. The car was completely demolished in turning over as it left the highway. The fatality made the sixth in the county for 1941. Only nine were recorded throughout the year 1940. Week's Recipes — from — Virginia Electric & Power Company By MISS VIRGINIA BLOUNT, Home Economist “SOME DO’S AND DON’TS FOR COOKS” Paper Bags for Chickens In preparing chicken for frying, a simple and quicker way of ap plying the flour is to partly fill a paper bag with flour and then shake the pieces of chicken up and down inside the bag. Several pieces may be floured at once and you may be sure that all sides are thoroughly covered. Crisp French Fried Potatoes After paring potatoes for fry ing, drop them in boiling water and let boil 2 minutes. Remove from water. Dry them with a clean ab sorbent towel and fry in deep fat, 365 degrees F. until a golden brown. These will stay crisp for some time after they are cooked. Meringues To make meringues stand in peaks, be tender and thicker, put 1 tsp. baking powder to the whites of 3 eggs beaten stiff and 2 tsp. sugar to each egg white. Bake at 300 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Whipping Light Cream To one-half cup of light cream add one tbsp. of gelatin which has been dissolved in about 2 tbsp. of boiling water. Place the mixture in your electric refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes, then whip. The cream will whip quickly and easily at about half the cost of whipping cream. Wield the Rolling Pin When a recipe calls for finely chopped nuts instead of putting the nuts through a chopper or chop ping them by knife, there is a mere efficient method. Place nuts be tween several folds of waxed paper, then roll or crush them with a rolling pin. The degree of fine ness may be varied by the pressure exerted. None of the oils from the nuts is lost when this method is employed. The chopped nuts may be sprinkled directly from the waxed paper. If the nuts come in cellophane wrapper it is well to crush them in that. When To Prepare Orange Juice Besides being attractive and pal atable in the diet, the orange fur nishes an excellent source of Vita min C. By experimenting it has been found that Vitamin C loses its potency when exposed to air in proportion to the length of ex posure. If you want to get full value of your orange, it is better to prepare it and serve it at once. Household Hints To take fish odor out of pan— wash, then pour vinegar in pan and let boil a few minutes. To cut frosted cake—put a knife in warm water, dry well, and you will have no crumbs. To remove whole pieces of meat from pecans—boil 15 minutes. To keep poached eggs whole— put one teaspoon salt in water. Sulphur in thin silk bags keeps ants out of bread box. Heat milk before adding to mashed potatoes. To measure one-half cup of shortening—fill cup half full of water, fill with shortening until water line reaches cup level, pour off water. Mrs. J. R. Melton of Norfolk, who spent the week-end here with her sister, Mrs. R. J. Rightmyer, left Monday for a visit with her daughter in San Francisco, Cal.

The new Pontiac speaks for itself—and it tells you clearly that a smarter, roomier, sweeter-acting car will be hard to find. The only time this Pontiac needs our help is when somebody says, "It’s too high-priced for me.” That’s when we go to work, and here’s what we tell them: With all of its size, its beauty, its "expen sive” look, Pontiac’s prices are so close to the "lowest-priced three” that the differ ence is only a few dollars per month. SIZE AND LUXURY, Nor will you get any impression of low cost from the roominess and luxury you find inside its handsome body by Fisher. Pontiac is tailored and fitted to compare favorably with the finest cars on the road. PERIORMAIVLE. If you plan to buy a new car soon, try this new Pontiac now.
