Shop Around
"It pays to shop com
paratively," a Surry County
borne maker told Mrs. Lydia
R. Taylor, assistant home
economic Extension agent.
While redecorating her
bouse, the home maker, Mrs.
Nelll M. Smith, Dobson, got
several estimates on carpet
ing. The price for the same
job varied more than $400.
New Look
If you want to give a room
a new look or if you wish to
brighten up a nook, try using
one of the new self adhesive
papers available in many dif
ferent colors and designs.
Lucille M. Carter, assistant
borne economics Extension
agent, Richmond County,
suggests using the stick-on
paper to cover a mirror and
matching dresser accessories,
place a border in a child's
room, cover toy shelves, or
decorate a window cornice.
Broom Corn
J. K. Powell, Columbus
County, has one of the best
stands of broom corn grown
in a home garden in the past
six years, Mrs. Yvonne B.
Ray, home economics Exten
sion agent, reports.
Powell planted the broom
corn seed for Pauline Toon,
Whiteville, who plans to make
hearth brooms.
For thirty cents worth of
seed, Miss Toon will be able
to sell enough broom corn for
about 20 brooms at sixty-five
cents per 30 or 40 pieces or
make the hearth brooms and
sell them for $3 apiece.
Seeing is Believing
After seeing a demonstra
tion on the use of the blend
er, Mrs. C. L. Jenkins, Dur
ham, Rt. 5, said, "I believe
it's time I took my blender
from the box and started to
use it."
Durham County home
makers are learning that the
secret of the blender's effect
iveness is knowing bow to uae
it, Martha B. Edmondson,
home economics Extension '
agent, observes.
The blender, when used
effectively, can chop, mix,
gpte, stir, liquify and puree
foods, she adds. It can save
much time and energy in pre
paring family meals, special
diets and party refreshments,
she note*.

Speedy Beef Stew From Belgium
From Belgium comes the beef stew known as Carbonnade
Flamande, a classical main dish richly endowed with onions
and often flavored with beer. In the easy to-make recipe which
follows, canned roast beef with gravy reduces the cooking time
and work greatly without sacrificing the traditional good taste,
and apple juice or cider supplies the typical subtle flavoring.
The canned roast beef with gravy which is the mainstav of
the dish is fully cooked and nicely seasoned as it comes from
the can. That means that the ingredients to be measured are
few, and the only cooking required is simple and auick: the
sauteing of the onions, the heating and thickening or the stew
? a matter of about 20 minutes. That makes the dish a treat
for the home cook as well as the diners, because of the work
that doesn 't have to be done!
Traditionally Carbonnade Flamande is served with whole
boiled potatoes dressed with butter or margarine and sprinkled
with parsley or chives. A green vegetable, crisp salad, and
home-style bread, will complete a delightful main course.
