riotic rally to be held in Avery
county tonight.
“I am very happy as Governor
of North Carolina to add my
tribute to you and to your fine
sons and to say that our state
takes pride in this record, which
will hardly be surpassed by any
family in the United States. You
may well experience a sense of
pride in having made t^o notable
a crntribution to the nation in its
hour of greatest crisis and I am
confident that your sons will ren
der a serv'ice that will add new
glory to our s’ate and nation.’’
Two of Mrs. Rominger's sons
stationed at Charlotte in the ar
my air corps, were able to attend
the ceremony and were on Ihe
platform with her and their
father.

Chicago, — Accidental deaths
wiped out two full divisioxis of
potential fighting men In the na
tion last year, the Nation^ Sa
fety Council reported today.
A year-end appraisal of acci
dental violence during 1941 told
this grim story:
Killed—101,600.
Injured—9,300,000.
Cost—$3,750,000,000.
The toll among men in the se
lective service age bracket (20
to 45) numbered 26,000.
Last year’s fafallties increased
five per cent or 4,600 lives, above
the 1940 total, the council repor
ted but 1941 was not considered
a “progressively bad” year. The
increase was less than should
have been expected under the
industrial and tempo-of-life speed
up caused by the w^r emergency,
the council said.
Both 1936 and 1937 recorded
a greater number of casualties
from accidents, and the 1941
death rate per 100.000 persons
was 12ih lowest in the last 40
years.
Traffic and iiidustria! accidents
were blamed for the 1941 surge
in fatalities. The safety council
said deaths in the “home and
public places’’ decreased last year
from 1940.
Eighteen thousand workers per
ished in occupational accidents
alone, the report disclosed. An
other 29,000 workers died in off-
the-job accidents.
Last year’.s traffic toll of 40,-
000 persons wa.s an all time high
in that division, the council said.
The survey showed that wage
losses, medical expense, insurance
expense, and property damage
from automobile accidents and
fires would total at least $3,750.-
000.000. Traffic wa.s blamed for
$1,800,000,000 of that.
The classifications and num
bers of fatalities during 1941
included: falls. 26.000; burning,
6,900; and dnowning 7,000.

nlies: ehurches; health, rural

welfare agencies; i>ankers; and
civic clubs, chambers of com
merce and other city and town or
ganizations. have (pen enlisted to
help agricultural agencies in the
campaign.
“The patriotic duty of every
family demands participation in
'he Victory Garden campaign."
Dean Schaiib declared. "We must
make an extra effort this year
to grow an adequate supply of
vegetables and fruits for the
family needs.
“Because of the advancing
prices for food, the shor’age of
containerK. and the increasing
war demands, more food must be
produced at home. Every serving
of food produced in a Victory
Garden saves money for the far
mer and makes available more
food for our armed forces.
’’The strength of our nation is
determined by Ihe strength of
our people. Stronger bodies, keen
eye.sight. steadier nerves, and
greater courage can be developed
by the use of fruits and vegeta
bles in the diet.”

DRY BE.VNS AND .SOYBEANS
GOOD IXnV-COST FOOD
From Puget Sound to Key
West, from Maine to California,
there’s unity of opinion that dry
beans are among the best of
foods.
Slow-baked white beans with
salt pork and molasses are tops
with the New Englander. Black-
eyed beans, or “peas" as they’re
usually called, flavored with ham
knuckle.s combined with rice
are in demand south of the Mason
and Dixon line. Pinto beans, sea
soned with garlic and chili, are
highly regarded in the states
l)ordering on Mexico.
However, no matter what the
type of beans or the flavor of the
dish—you can pretty well lump
all of them together as far as
food value is concerned, sav Ihe
nutritionists of the TL S. Depart
ment of Agricul'ure. They all
are inexpensive energy foods.
They contain proteins of fair nu
tritive quality. They rate high
as asource of the important j
mineral iron— the “morale vi
tamin Bl.
Because dry beans consolidate
all these food values in small,
easy-to-keep. easy-to-ship packa
ges. they have been sent abroad
under terms of the Lend-Lease
Act. They i re indispensable in
the diets of our own armed for
ces.

ham knuckle, salt pork, chili a
dash of lemon juice, onion, toma

Since beans are such good en
ergy foods they are especially ad
apted to filling main dishes. For
a spicy bean stew — cook 1 1-2
cups dry beans tender. Brown
1-2 cup chopped onion in salt
pork fat, and 1-2 pound ground
lean meat, stir, and cook slowly
for 5 minutes. Combine meat, on-
ioi), salt pork, and 3 cups of can
ned tomatoes with cooked beans.
Add the salt and pepper to ta^te
and simmer until meat is tender
and the flavors well blended. This
recipe will serve six.
Hot bean salad is an excellent
way to use cooked beans on hand
This dish is a salad in name only,
however, because it is filling
enough for a main dish. Cut
.s'rips of bacon or .salt pork into
half inch pieces and fry them for
a light brown. Add 2-3 cup chop
ped onion and brown lightly. Add
6 cups baked or boiled beans. 1
teaspoon mustard. 1-2 cup vine
gar, 1-2 cup water, and a dash
of pepper. Simmer until the beans
absorb the vinegar and water.
Serve hot.

maintenance of the constructed
sections only, plus a llmitecl am
ount of advance planning to set
up a reservoir of contracts for

ance with the 'plans-on-the-shelf’
program.’
Although projects now under
construction will be completed
Demaray explained that the 194 2
fiscal year authorization of $6,-
000,000 for parkways has been
impounded and no hew construc
tion projecis contemplated un
der the contract authorization
have been undertaken.
“We agree that this is in the

compete with defense activi ies
employing critical materials." he
said. “The restrictions on rubber, t
