Every day you can save wheat in this way: 1. Prevent waste ol bread. It Is estimated that 5 per cent or one slice out ol every loal ol bread baked every day goes into garbage. 2. Use less bread at each meal. a. Use potatoes, tor example, as alternates lor bread. One small serving ol potatoes replaces a slice ol bread, nutritionally. b. Use oat cereals more olten. A serving ol oatmeal equals two slices* ol bread. In lood value. c. Use Irults and other des serts lor pastries and cakes. 3. Use less wheat cereals and other wheat products. Use alter nate loods. II every man, woman and school child in the U. S. reduced the use ol bread by three sllves a day in the home, almost three- fourths of a million tons ol wheat would be freed lor shipment over^as la the next 90 days. B. Every day save fats and oils at home In this way: 1. Make better use ol meat drippings for cooking and sea soning food. 2. Serve fewer fried foods. 3. Save and re-use fats and oils for cooking purposes. 4. Render excess fats on meats and save bacon grease for cooking purposes. 6. Salvage all fata that cannot be re-used and turn them In to your butcher or grrocer. 6. Go easy on oils and salad dressings. A teaspoon of fat a day saved by every man, woman and school child In the U. S. will mean a total saving ol at least one mil lion pounds ol fat a day. Save a Little and Help a Lot.

During the war years the scarcity of mater ials has made building and re modeling almost Impossible. Now that building materials are grad ually becoming available their thoughts turn to the many Im provements they wish to make to their homes. Miss Eva German, v?hose ad dress Is Boomer, Is a member ol the Boomer Home Demonstration Club. She teaches school and dur ing the winter months isn’t able to attend many ol the meetings. However, her mother who Is also a member ol the club, tells her about the topic discussed and takes her the reading material distributed at the club meetings In this way she Is able to keep In contact with the club tho’ she Isn't able to always attend. The house In which she and her fam ily lived had been built for nearly a hundred years. There weren’t any conveniences and the rooms were so large that heating was really a problem. Miss German had several carpenters to come and look the house over and ad vise her as to the possibilities ol remodeling. Alter looking the house over they said it would not be wise to attempt remodel ing. There was much good ma terial in It, so it wa* carefully timber on their farm lor most ol the new house and they used what they could ol the old. The living room and the dining room is finished In knotty pine panel ing making them most attractive. The kitchen Is very conveniently Robert Lunn, the talking blues boy, is just back from the service arranged having plenty ol cabinet and storage space. The plans lor alter several months In the South Pacific and he Is the same old Robert who left the Grand Ole Opry to Join the armed forces. He will appear on Tuesday, May 14, 7:30 p. m. in the Court house In Wllkeaboro, along with his Grand Ole Opry show. Robert has a style ol comedy that will keep you laughing from the time the show starts until the curtain goes down. Folks who have seen him in person say that he is one ol the best entertainers ever to appear on the stage. The way he sings a song, tells a joke, and then goes into his original dance called tho “Pork Chop Stomp,” is worth twice the price of admission. Those who have heard him on the Grand Ole Opry on Saturday night can tell you that he never falls to stop the show with applause from the audience. The show will be sponsored by the Wilkes Post ol the American Legion. Mrs. Thompson Taken By Death Funeral service was held Wed nesday afternoon at Lewis Fork Advent Christian church for Mrs. Mary Etta Yates Thompson, age 96, well known resident ol the Lewis Fork community who died Monday night. Mrs. Thompson, wile ol Moses E. 'Thompson, bad been in ap parently normal health nntll she was stricken by a heart attack Monitoy night Surviving Mrs. Thompson are her husband, seven daughters and two sons: Mrs. P. D. Annas, Greensboro; Mrs. Walter Propst, Hickory; Mrs. A. G. Nichols, Mil lers Creek; Mrs. W. J. Church, North Wllkesboro: Mrs. Sherman Anderson, Wllkesboro; Mrs. Wil liam Abernethy, Charlotte; Mrs. Ralph Moretz, Deep Gap; Dick Thompson, North WIlfcegboro; and Moses E. Thompson, Boone. Also surviving Is one sister, Mrs. EJva Stout, ol Lenoir. Rev. R. L. Isbel, of Lenoir, condncted th« fnneral service, as sisted by Rev. Mr. Trtvette, ol Boone. Interment was to the Thompson family cemetery. Many beantlful flowers were fitting trblutes to the esteem held for Mrs. Thompson, who had led an exemplary Christian life to her eommnnlty. the arrangements of the cabinet and other details were secured from the Home Agents olHce. The back porch Is about eight feet wide all the way across the back ol the house. This makes lor a wonderful working spot and also a good eatlng^ place In the summer. The bed rooms have big nice closets in them and are con veniently located to the rest ol the house. Now the heating prob lem has been solved and the house as a whole Is very conven ient. The expense ol building this home wasn’t so great, due to the tact that the timber was available on their own farm. We are hoping many women In Wilkes county are going to he able to soon enjoy the conven ience ol building and remodeling their homes. Can You Offer This War Veteran A Job?
