To Be Obliging
A reader of this column (you
see, we have one reader at least)
asked us last week, “Why don’t
you ever put in a recipe of some
thing really good to eat instead of
old war recipes all the time?” We
tried to explain that this is mainly
a column of wartime hints and in
formation for homemakers, but in
order to accommodate that ques
tioner, and possibly some others,
we will deviate from the custo
mary purpose and give you a real
ly good cake recipe, which is equal
ly as good in peace time as war
time. Here’s how to make a Jam
Cake: Mix well one cup sugar
and one-fourth cup butter (if you
can find any) or margarine or oth
er shortening, add 3 eggs well I
beaten and 3 tablespoons sour I
milk. Sift together one and one- j
half cups flour and 1 teaspoon
each soda, cinnamon, allspice and I
ground cloves and add to other
mixture. Beat all well and pour
out in greased pan and bake in
moderate oven. Top with caramel
or plain white frosting. For larger
cake double all amounts. How stu
pid! Forgot to mention jam. which
is the main ingredient. Before
adding dry ingredients mix in well
1 cup blackberry or other jam,
which you no doubt included in
your fruit canning this summer.

Interesting Facts
There are bee keepers who let
their bees die in winter, since it is

each spring than to feed them dur

U. S. FIRE LOSSES !
EXCEED THOSE IN
BOMBED BRITAIN
\
—
Asheville Fireman Heard At j
Joint Banquet Honoring
Local Squad,
Fire losses in this country during
the first two years of the war were
greater than those inflicted on
English cilies during the same
time by German bombers, J. H.
Bailey, assistant chief of the Ashe
iville fire department, said in an
address before a joint banquet of
the Kiwanis and Lions clubs at
which local firemen were honor
guests. The function was held in
the college dining hall Thursday
evening and brought to a forceful
climax the observance of Fire Pre
vention Week here. About 100
people were present, including the
heads of the various local organi
zations.
Paul Tindall, president of the
Kiwanis club, presided, and music
was furnished by the Ecusta string
band and the Ecusta trio under
the direction of John Eversman.
After Rev. Ashby Johnson had
pronounced the invocation. John
Smith, chief of the local fire de- J
partment was presented. He gave j
a brief report of the activities of |
the department and presented
the members.
At the beginning of his speech,
Mr. Bailey commended local fire
men for their loyalty and efficien
cy. Fire prevention today, he
said, is more important than ever
before on account of the war and
he declared that citizens must do
something to reduce appalling fire
losses, which this year are 20 per
cent above the same date a year
ago. Forty-three per cent of the
business structures consumed, he
estimated, would not be replaced.
‘ There are really two fronts to
day,” Mr. Bailey said, “the military
and the civilian, which are depend
ent on each other. We at home
must carry on the same as the
boys on the battle fronts,” he as
serted. ' Every boy who leaves
home to fight, he continued, car
ries in his mind a dream of the
home he left and to which he
wishes to return. It is the solemn
duty of civilians to protect by ev
ery means at their command these
homes against destruction.
Mr. Bailey described a number
of common fire hazards and urged,
people to be on the alert for them
every week in the year. Those
who exercise the proper diligen
ce, he declared, will at the same
time reap benefits and render a
service to their country.
Ed Saltz of St. Petersburg, Fla.,
a Kiwanian, was a visitor at the
banquet.

IN MEMORIAM
. MRS. S. L. SANDERS
This is written in memory of
Mrs. S. L. Sanders by one who
knew and loved her.
She was the mother of 10 child
ren, nine of whom she raised to
manhood and womanhood. She al
so had three grandchildren, two
girls and one boy. She helped to
educate them and lived to see them
married and in homes of their
own. She practically raised three
other grandchildren.
Her never failing kindness will
be missed, as will her generous
response to one in need and her
helpful advice, for Sister Sanders
contributed much to the lives she
contacted daily. With this great
supply of material, she has stor
ed up treasures in Heaven.
Dear Sister, you traveled the
highway, you stopped and lifted
the load; you reached a friendly
hand to guide one on the road.
You found many rocks before you,
but you followed the light ahead;
over deep and troubled waters you
often cast your bread. You climb

April 15th and Mr. Neely said he
used 400 pounds of fertilizer per

He estimated the yield at 50 bush

You gained much in giving; you

Men of Mercy...
These were great Americans. They are gone...but through
you their power is still great. You have some of these por
traits in your purse or in your billfold. They hold the power
to spread compassion and comfort throughout the world.
There are children to be clothed in Russia...broken spirits
to be mended in Greece...prisoners to be cheered and com
forted in barbed-wire enclosures.
There are needy neighbors right here at home to be
helped—many of them indirect casualties of this war.
There are torpedoed seamen to be warmed and fed on
the docks.
There are wounded lying on the plains of China who
need medical supplies.
Take some of these bills from your pocket now. Then
send as many of them as you can afford on an errand
of great mercy...for war relief through the National War
Fund.
When you give this month, to our community’s war fund,
you also give to the National War Fund You give ONCE
for ALL these agencies listed below. Your gift is divided
in many ways...in proportion to the need! Some will go to
the needy here in your own town. Some will go to relieve
distress and sustain the morale of our allies. Some will go
to provide the comforts and pleasures of home for our own
troops, through the USO.
Look at the names of the agencies below. You have given
to many of them before...small gifts perhaps when your
heart was touched Add up what you gave before...then
