Mrs. Mackey vs Manpower
Mrs. E. H. Mackey, of the Lit
tle River community, has demon
strated that the present manpower
situation isn’t going to hinder
her from getting her house fixed
up the way she wants it, even
though the shortage of labor and
material would prevent the or
dinary housewife from even at
tempting such an undertaking as
hers. Mrs. Mackey wanted her liv
ing room remodeled and furnish
ed according to more up-to-date
requirements as to colors and pat
terns, and not being able to secure
workmen, she resorted to the
nearest person at hand to do the
job, and that person was herself,
who proved an efficient interior
decorator and designer. She trans
formed her low-ceiling, dark wall
ed and drab colored room into a
veritable bower of cheerfulness,
comfort and homelikeness. The
dark calcimined walls were pap
ered with wallpaper of a vertical
stripe pattern to give height to
the room, and she did every bit
of the papering herself, and in
fact all of the remodeling work
was of her handiwork. She paint
ed the dark beamed ceiling a del
icate cream and changed her win
dow drapes and curtains to a light
cream material. She made her
new window shades of white feed
sacks, starched, and the new slip
covers for her sofa and chairs she
made of feed sacks she had dyed
a light tan or cream. Her new
linoleum rug carried out the pre
vailing brighten-up colors to blend
with the rest of the room. She
re-arranged the furniture in accor
dance with more modern styles,
and discarded many unnecessary
pieces that hitherto had cluttered
up the room. The cost of the rug
and wallpaper included practical
ly the entire expense of the pro
ject, and now she has a living
room that is most pleasing to the
eye and provides a restful and com
fortable living space for the fami
ly, at comparatively small cost.
Valuable suggestions and other
assistance from Miss Annabel
Teague, home agent, helped great
ly in Mrs. Mackey’s accomplish
ment.
Preserving Hints
Now that preserving and jelly
making are at the height of their
season, it might be well to give a
few hints or reminders on the
proper method of making fruit
jams and jellies. Preserving, as
you of course know, means fruit
that is cooked with sugar, equal
weight, and left whole or nearly
so. Jams are where the fruit is
crushed and boiled with sugar to
a thick smooth mass. Jelly is where
only the juice of the fruit is used,
with an equal quantity of sugar,
cup for cup full. Blackberries,
raspberries, plums and peaches are
best for jam. Currants, Concord
grapes, crabapples and quinces
make the best jelly. For best re
sults the sugar should be weighed
instead of measuring and use a
fresh cheesecloth jelly bag, which
should be wrung out of hot water
before putting in boiled fruit juice
to drain. When preserving hard
fruits, as pears or quinces, pare,
core and quarter them and put to
boil with a quarter pound of sugar
to each pint of water. Jams re
quire that the fruit boil soft and
then mash and return to fire with
equal weight of sugar and boil 15
minutes.
' August Tokens
August’s flower is the poppy
and its gem is / the sardonyx.
Some of August’s outstanding
dates and personages are: August
12, 1877, Thomas Edison invented
the phonograph; August 17, 1896,
gold first discovered in the Klon
dike; August 3 1492, Columbus
sailed from Spain; August 5, 1844,
Statue of Liberty corner stone
laid; August 24, 1912, Congress
authorized the parcel post.
Jimmy Sees Big City
When Jimmy Kimzey was young
er than he is now at 7 years, his
daddy took him to the big city
for the first time. Taking an
elevator to the top of the sky
scraper, they shot up 30 stories
at breath-taking speed when the
little boy, grasping his father’s
hand, asked timidly, ’‘Daddy does
God know we are coming?”

0.2 per cent in the month ending
June 15—the first month to show
a reduction since a year before
Pearl Harbor, the U. S. Depart I
ment of Labor reported recently.!
Food prices as a whole, making
up over 40 per cent of the cost)
of living index, declined 0.8 per!
cent. The cost of living index now I
stands at 124.8 per cent of the]
1935-39 average. Food prices are
45 per cent above January, 1941,
and more than 16 per cent above
May, 1942.
HOME CANNERS WARNED
Home canners have been warn
ed by the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture against the use of “can
ning powders” and other chemi
cal preservatives. W. G. Campbell,
Commissioner of the Federal Food
and Drug Administration, said
that use of some of the “canning
powders” constitutes a definite
health hazard. The term “canning
powders,” includes boric acid and
its compounds and substances like
metabisulfite which yield sulfur
dioxide when brought in contact
with an acid-reacting food product.
The safe way for the home canner
is to process food adequately with
heat and not to use chemical pre
servatives. For safety’s sake, rely
on thorough heat sterilization.
GAS COUPONS CHANGED FOR
TRIPS
Motorists can use their “AA” ra
tion books for trips into, or out of,
the Eastern gasoline shortage area,
according to rules recently an
nounced by the OPA. Since July
21, Eastern motorists have been
using “A-6” coupons, while those
outside the East have been using
“A-7’s”. To overcome these diffi
culties in travel “across the bor
der” a new amendment to the
Gasoline Rationing Regulations
permit “A” ration holders to ex
change any of their valid “A” cou
pons for other coupons that may
be used in the area in which they
expect to travel. Exchanges may
be made and further information
secured at the War Price and Ra
tioning Board.

STORAGE FOR POTATOES
Arrangements have been com
pleted to provide additional stor
age facilities for handling the late
crop of the 1943 Irish potatoes, the
War Food Administration has an
nounced. WPE has approved the
allocation of materials for the con
struction of stooge facilities suf
ficient to take care of 15 million
bushels of potatoes. Farmers
should apply to their county war
boards for approval to begin con
struction.
BINDER TWINE SUPPLY
An adequate supply of binder
twine is available for this year’s
harvest of grain crops, the WPB
Binder Twine Sub-Committee has
reported. This ample supply has
been made possible through the
blending of cotton with henequen
to produce a new twine which has
proved satisfactory.
INCREASE SHOE SUPPLY
To increase the supply of chil
dren’s and infant’s shoes, and
men’s work shoes, WPB recently
amended order M-217 (Footwear)
to permit a 25 per cent increase
in the output of shoes for boys,
misses, children and infants. Pro
duction of men’s work shoes may
be increased by 15 per cent and
men's safety shoes by 25 per cent.
The order also will permit increas
ed production of shoes at price
levels where there is greater con
sumer demand.
FEWER NEW TIRES
Smaller quotas of new passen
ger car tires for August and larg
er quotas of used and recapped
tires have been announced by
OPA, based on rationing allot
ments assigned for the month by
the Office of Rubber Director. The
August quota of grade 1 tires is
the lowest since last April. OPA
officials warned that drivers who
are eligible for new tires may
have to accept used or recapped
types as long as the quota of new
tires is low.

Growing Chicks Is
All-Year Business
North Carolina hatcherymen don’t
get any more vacations because
the hatching of baby chicks has
become a year-round business un
der war conditions, says T. T.
Brown, Extension Poultry Special
ist at State College.
Both the hatcheryman and the
supply flock owner must keep on
the job at all times if disease free
chicks of good breeding are to
be produced. Preparations for de
livering good chicks next season
are being made and the hatchery
man and the flock owner must
work in close cooperation, suggests
Brown.
According to the poultry special
ist, much pullorum has shown up in
chicks this year and it is necessary
that hens be blood tested to re
move the pullorum carriers from
the laying flocks as early as pos
sible. A special school for blood
testers is being held at State Col
lege and the hatcherymen are co
operating wholeheartedly in mak
ing this new program a success.
These testers will be under the
supervision of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture in making
their tests in the field.
