adjoins the Cheek property, was
donated by Mrs. J. H. Wolfe, who
has two sons in the junior class.
The acre will be planted in pota
toes and various groups in the
church are donating fertilizer and

Wartime Version
Old Mother Nicelox
Went to the ice box
To get her something to eat.
She opened the door,
And sunk to the floor.
Oh, who had stolen her meat!
A Good Listener
A good listener, we are told, is
well on the way to a liberal edu
cation. A superior order of in
tellect is not necessary to be a
good listener, yet there is a splen
did opportunity for the use of
tact in drawing out the capabili
ties of a speaker. A speaker knows
whether his audience is with him
or merely making believe. Then,
too, there is a time not to break
in by a word or sign. Sudden, in
different listening is killing to a
speaker. The mind is most recep
tive when alert.
Would Ya Believe It
A certain lady in Brevard told
this writer something the other
day that many people don’t appear
to believe, at least, their actions
belie their beliefs, in case they
do. This column is not intended
for idle gossip—it never has been
and never will be—but what do
you suppose this lady said that
would be of interest to many?
She convinced herself of the truth
of her discovery and thinks oth
ers ought to be convinced also.
Many Years Ago
A clipping taken from a news
paper published many years ago
tells of the latest in jewelry de
signs. Read them and see if they
differ very much from present day
styles. Bangle bracelets are again
becoming fashionable. One of the
latest novelties is an ink well of
silver made in the shape of a heart.
A lady’s pocketbook with a cover
of beautifully engraved silver is
one of the latest novelties. A neat
sterling sliver stationery set com
bined with a complete but invisi
ble manicure outfit is an up-to
date novelty. The latest jewel for
the neck is a ribbon buckle of
gold or silver. A very handsome
pipe has an inner cup of meer
schaum which holds the tobacco.
Drying Foods
Why not try drying or dehydrat
ing more of your foods for preser
vation this summer? In order to
waste no food, which we must
strictly adhere to more and more
for the duration, it is necessary to
preserve some of it. The preserva
tion of food either by canning or
drying is one of the most import
ant obligations of a housekeeper
during the war. Many fruits and
vegetables can be most satisfac
torily preserved by drying. By this
method it is possible to save small
quantities of vegetables and fruits
which might otherwise be wasted.
And another advantage, no sugar
is required when foods are dried,
and no fuel either, if done by na
tural methods of sun drying. And

Waverly O. Morris, who has

close of the school term here.
S. A. Albert, who has been mak

Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Sensing and
two children are spending this
week visiting the former’s pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Sensing,
in Hamilton, Ga., and his sister,
Mrs. C. E. Chance, in Atlanta, Ga.
Glenn Smith, who has been em
ployed at Ecusta, left on Sunday
for Alcoa, Tenn., where he has
employment in an aluminum
plant. Mrs. Smith and children
will join Mr. Smith in a few
weeks.

SUPERIOR COCKERELS CAN
INCREASE EGG PRODUCTION
For greater egg production,
North Carolina poultrymen should
not only increase the number of
hens in the laying flock but also
use superior breeding males in
all hatchery-supply flocks, says C.
J. Maupin, Extension Poultry
Specialist at N. C. State College.
There is a definite proof that
high egg production is inherited
and the use of males coming from
trapnested flocks with excellent
records can increase North Caro
lina egg production about 10 per
cent, according to Maupin.
He said that there were twelve
Record of Production flocks in the
State, which have breeding males
for sale this year, and that good
cockerels could also be obtained
from the certified hatcheries.
There are other good flocks hav
ing superior breeding males but
individual egg records are not
available.
In recent years the number of
eggs per hen has been raised
from about 5 to 102 eggs in North
Carolina. Maupin says that it is
encouraging to know that with
the same number of hens, the
same feed, and the same labor and
equipment, that egg production
can be increased another , 10, or
may be 20 eggs per hen through
the use of superior breeding mal
es.
The crown of olive leaves in an
cient times was comparable to
present-day medals of honor.
we are told by those who have
practiced this method of food
preservation that the fresh quali
ties are better preserved also than
by cooking methods.
Here’s What She Said
This certain lady said that she
went to a nearby city the other
day with sufficient money in her
pocketbook and with the inten
tion of buying her spring and Eas
ter outfit. After searching dili
gently in the various department
and other stores, she found no
thing that suited her taste or poc
ket book, so she came back to
Brevard with the most of her
money and very few purchases.
And this is what she did. That
very afternoon when she got back
home (it was still early in the
afternoon) she made up her mind
to look in the Brevard stores and
see if anything here would suit
her taste and pocketbook. And
sure enough it did. She found
several items in the stores here
that were the very same price,
and in some cases cheaper, than
what she found in the nearby city
and they were more to her satis
faction, too. This little incident
is true, and you may draw your
own conclusions and try for your
self and see.
FIVE DENS OF CUBS
ARE FORMED HERE
Lions Club Gladly Agrees
To Sponsor Movement
In Transylvania
Five dens of Cubs, auxiliary of
the Boy Scout movement, have
been formed in Brevard by com
mittees appointed at a meeting of
interested parents at city hall on
April 7. Reports were made by
these groups at a meeting held
at the same place last night, and
Chairman Frank Kerber said yes
terday he was highly pleased at
the auspicious start made. A
third meeting will be held at city
hall on the evening of the 21st
and an effort will be made to in
sure the attendance of a Scout
official from Asheville. This
meeting will be held at 8:30 o’clock
instead of 8, as in previous gath
erings.
At its most recent meeting the
i^ions club gladly agreed to as
sume the sponsorship of the cub
bing movement in Transylvania
county, the chief object of which
is to prepare boys aged 9 to 12
for intelligent participation in the
Boy Scout organization.
Parents Invited
Interested parents who were
unable to attend either of the two
meetings already held are cordially
invited to be present on the even
ing of the 21st, Mr. Kerber said.
The five dens already formed
are located in Brevard, but ac
cording to Mr. Kerber it is hoped
to make the movement county
wide in scope and units will be
formed where interest manifested,
by parents justifies them.
“I want to stress the fact,” Mr.
Kerber said, “that these lads are
intensely interested in cubbing,
but it is essential that we have
the active cooperation of the par
ents.”
