LARGE MINERAL DEPOSITS FOUND IN THIS SECTION Congress Sets Aside $340, 000 For Exploring De posits In State Governor Broughton says a sur vey of potential mineral resources in North Carolina shows that coal, iron ore, and magnesium can be produced in the state as the basis for profitable industries. The survey reveals that immense reserves of magnesium are located in Western North Carolina close to the TVA, a cheap source of power. The report, however, warns that the chief task remaining is the development of a commercial process to convert this raw ma terial into the magnesium metal, a process which the report adds it is possible to develop. Magnesium is now in great de mand in the airplane and automo tive transport industries and in making incendiary bombs. The re port predicts that after the war it will become directly competitive for uses on a cost basis with aluminum and low carbon steel if it can be produced for about ten cents a pound. Pointing out the greater avail ability of its ores, the lower con sumption of power required for its production and its one-third lighter density, the survey indi cates it is probably that magne sium production will outstrip that of aluminum in the future and will begin to approach, at least on a volume basis, that of steel. Governor Broughton points out that congress has passed a bill allocating $300,000 for drilling and exploratory mineral work in the state by the United States Bureau of Mines. He adds that drilling activities under this appropriation will begin immediately in places where the survey indicates usable minerals may be found. It is estimated that there will be about 5 pounds less fats and oils per person this year than last. It is reported that large in creases in the production of pea nut butter and peanut oil are needed to meet wartime require ments.

Chedester, who has recently graduated from the Union Theological Seminary at Richmond, Va., has been elected to supply the Brevard Presbyterian church, and will be here this week to com mence his pastoral work. We note that some of our mer chants are advertising the advan tages of Brevard on the back of their business envelopes. Whitmire & Verdery are the pioneers in this move, and it might pay the board of trade to have it done and furnish the envelopes to all who will use them at cost. Rev. J. A. Sharpe was in the Selica section last week from Ire dell county, a guest at the Sharpe Mull wedding. Water is an excellent thing, especially for fish to swim in, but just now there appears to be more water in the elements than is re quired, even by the fish. Mayor T. W. Whitmire and fam ily took a mountain trip on a fishing excursion this week. We presume that he left town to get away from our muddy streets. Yesterday was the 66th birthday of the editor of the News. Old enough to take a rest, but with more responsibilities on his shoul ders than at any time during a! busy life. In answering inquiries about Brevard, why not send a copy of the News with your answer? There is no better advertisement for any town than a creditable local paper, and Brevard has no occasion to be ashamed in this line. Mrs. Witherspoon and daughter, guests of Mrs. Henry and daughter, have returned to their home in Louisville, Ky. They were loud in their praise of “the land of the sky” and say we Western North Carolinians are entirely too mod est in our praise of our beautiful land; that too much could not be said of its grand natural scenery. They visited over the Biltmore Estate, but declare it pales into insignificance when compared with our natural scenery. Mrs. R. R. Deaver and family, of Selica, left last week for a visit with relatives in Shelby. Mrs. J. C. King, who has been very sick for the past week, is again able to resume her duties at the Novelty Store. At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Brevard Bank ing company, a vacancy in the of fice of vice president, caused by the resignation of E. B. Alsop, was filled by the election of R. R. Deaver. T. S. Boswell and A. K. Orr, who are now connected with the Southern Railway company, re signed also as directors. The va cancies in the board were filled by the election of O. L. Erwin, John C. Deaver and W. S. Ash worth. W. A. Baynard, of the Boylston section, has made a dive at the tan bark this season, and hulled five cords of the leather making stuff. Miss Bonnie Wilson, of Broad Valley, will teach the Blantyre school this year. SAVE Friendly Atmosphere TASTY FOOD! You have no ration points to worry you when you eat in our modern cafe.

Gaither, Proprietor BROAD STREET i 0mmunmniniiiitmmnnn}nmnmunnnini8unn.y«l Timely Hints For Farm Homemakers BY RUTH CURRENT When beets are young and ten der, they’re really two vegetables in one. The tops count as a green leafy vegetable, rich in iron and valuable vitamins. And the beet roots contain vitamin B1 and G. In cooking beets, the important thing is to save the red color. That’s why the home economists tell you to leave on the skins, the roots, and part of the stems. Cook the beets whole, so there’s no chance for the color to “bleed”. When they’re done, drain the water and slip the skins off the beets. Slice for serving, or if you have tiny beets serve them whole. Would you like to have our good Harvard Beet recipe? Write us. If the beet tops are young enough to be tender, be sure to use the greens. Cook then like any other leafy vegetable,—for only a short time in a small amount of water. You can serve the greens alone, or I think they make one of the best-looking vegetable com binations when you serve the greens right along with the red beets. When cooked and cooled, beets are a good salad vegetable. The red color makes a fine contrast with your salad greens. Be sure to wait until just before serving to mix the beets with other ingre dients. For especially good beet salad, add chopped hard-cooked egg. Beets with grated cheese is another good combination. Correct tools in good condition make the job easier; they save time and energy. Often the reason house work becomes drudgery is because of the lack of proper tools to do the job or because they are in poor condition. Another time saver is a note book and pencil conveniently placed so that you can jot down things to be done and things to be bought. A written list will save many a step, while a mental list will cause many a step. Farmers are asked to market hogs at not heavier than 230 pounds. It takes more feed to put an extra pound on heavy hogs. When your doctor asks where you prefer to have your prescription filled, say: VARNER’S, because: Filled only by registered pharma cist; as written and at reasonable prices.

Powell, of Rosman, volunteered in the service in September, 1942. He is stationed now at Los Angeles, Calif.
