Mary Stewart of Chicago: I remember when Mother would buy five cents worth of asafotida (a foul-smel ling, waxy substance), break off small placet nnd saw them in lit tle bags, which were pinned on our undershirts to ward off con tagion. One glimpse of a conta gious disease sign on a door sent us school kids scurring diagonal ly out 'on the street so wjp wouldn't pass the house From O. O. Clayton of Mon roeville, Ind I remember the old ashbarrel that stood 01. a doping platform in the corner of the yard. The bottom wtp knock ed out and a layer of straw wai placed inside the barrel. It was my job to carry all the wood ashes from the old cookstove and fill the barrel. Then I carried water and poured it over the potash. The brown water was stored in earthen jars until but chering time. Then it was used to make soft soap out of the waste fats. Mother proportioned the ingredients, but it was my job to keep the old iron kettle boiling out by the wood pile un til the soap was done. ******** About Your Home Bv FRANCES DELL ******** The buffet supper has become a big favorite in America be cause It is a solution to the pro blem of how to be hospitable though servantless. Granted that the lap supper is a fine way to entertain a large group, it seems at times that we are abandoning formality to a point where informality does not make sense. For example, why make guests juggle ^plates in their lap*- if the group, is small enough to be seated at the din ing table? The fact that there is no maid to serve is not a very good Mfcuse. Al?o, there is no reason why guests must suffer mushy dish es that require only a fork for eating. The answer is ? a semi buffet. This is nothing new, for many people have been enter taining guests in this manner for years. However, it seemed to have been forgotten in the cur rent craze for the buffet supper. At the semi-buffet the guests serve themselves from the side board before tokin their places at the dining table to eat their dinner. At a smoothly run semi buffet the hostess will leave the table only once during the meal. This will be to remove the plates of the first course to bring on the second. A good menu for a semi-buf fet dinner could be: Roast beef Rice with gravy Peas ? grilled tomatoes . Fresh fruit salad Coffee ? Lemon-cheese cake. All of these dishes can be pre pared before the guests arrive and served with a minimum of effort Obviously "My poor husband was a won derful artist," sighed the land lady as she hacked alghc pie crust, "and always said he found inspiration in my cooking:" "A sculptor, I presume," said the gloomy boarder, surveying hi* bent fork.

WILLIAMS Tli* United States has waited I tit precious noil resources at a faster rate than any other na tion or race that ever attempted extensive agricultural practices. One-fifth of the tillable land in the nation is now ruined fttr fur ther cultivation, with one-third of the remaining area badly dam aged by erosion. This great loss of soil has mostly occurred in the last one-hundred years. America must check soil eros ion within the next few yeaxs if we expect to grow sufficient food and fibers to adequately feed and clothe our ever increas ing population. There still re mains enough available land to do this job if proper use is made of it. Our nation has the know-how to whip the problem ~f soil eros ion. Through the wo.x of experi ment stations and by results on many thousands of farms it has been shown that proper land use methods can be applied to solve the soil tfnd water problems of our country. Everyone has a vital stake in our aoil, whether he be farmer, factory worker, or business man. By conserving our soil and water resources the farmer can produce abuntantly and at reasonable cost to insure ample food at reason able prices for Americans now and in future years. Local farmers felt the need to speed up erosion control and formed the Watauga Soil Conser vation District The District is controlled by three supervisors that are elected by local farmers to administer such a program. These supervisors have the sup port of all agricultural agencies and are supplied technical assist ance by Soil Conservation Serv ice to carry out their prognv.i in the county. More than 400 species of birds are found in North Carolina. Theft Collections High for State Raleugh. ? Theft Bureau inspec tor* collected a total of J28.918.4S in penalties and additional license fees during November, the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles reported this weelc. Of the amount, $3,346.61 came from additional license fees and $6,534.30 from penalties on pri vately owned trucks. For hire vehicle* brought in $11,166.06 in additional license fees, with pen alties amounting to $7,667.31. Members of the Theft Bureau assisted in the recovery of 68 stolen cars during the month and began investigations into the thefts of 41. Of the 3,223 truclu stopped. 2.337 were North Carolina trucks and 776 oUt-of-?tate trucks. One hundred and ninety-three truclu were found to have insufficient licenses, with 173 of these having North Carolina license plates and 20 out-of-state. Of the 39 trucks found to be over the road limit, 33 were North Carolina trucks and 24 out-of-state. FARM NOTES An average price of $549 per head was paid for 66 head of re gistered Hereford beef cattle en tered in the recent State sale at Winston-Salem.

About one-fourth lata beets are expected to be harvested this winter than last. Kale supplies in proapeet it a ona-tenth smaller. The spinach crop is much larger than last winter's short crop. Tests by agricultural engineers of the U. S. Department of Agri culture indicate that tire lug height makes noticeable differ ences in the way a farm tractor performs, but rim width has lit tle effect. The engineers caution, however, that their conclusions apply only in the toil types and conditions and with the particu lar tire- tread design used in their experiment*. .
