Merchants Spread Cheer
There's a war on, to be sure,
but, nevertheless, merchants and
business concerns of Brevard have
not let this bitter fact prevent
them from decorating their dis
play windows and interiors with
lavish suggestions of the Christ
mas season. Store keepers here
have outdone themselves this sea
son in the way of attractive Yule
tide decorations, many have been
heard to say. If all it takes is a)
bit of bright tinsle, gay colors and
lighting effects, combined appeal
ingly with appropriate displays of
merchandise, to detract in the
least from the drabness, tragedy
and uncertainties of wartimes,
then we say to Brevard business
owners and operators to give us
as many pretty do-dads to look at
as possible and help that much
in a cheery Christmas for all.

to suggest, you say. Well, maybe
so, until you try it and see how
good it is and also how easy on
the pocketbook as well as the ra
tion book. The ingredients it con
tains are able to compete favor
ably with a meat loaf of similar
proportions, as far as nutritive val
ue and appetizing qualities are con
cerned, and the taste, you will
find, is different and satisfying.
Here’s how to make it: Mix 1 cup
peanut butter with one-half cup
milk, adding and mixing a little
at a time until well combined, then
add 2 beaten eggs and mix well,
To 2 cups toasted bread crumbs,
add 1 medium sized chopped on
ion, 1 cup hot mashed potatoes,
and seasoning to taste. Combine
the two mixtures, mix well, and
turn in hot greased bread tin and
bake 30 or 40 minutes in moderate
oven. Double all amounts for larg
er roast.
Open Your Penny Banks
Copper pennies must come back
into circulation, we are told by
government authorities. Open up
Junior’s piggy bank or that old jar
or tin can you’ve been using for
your accumulated pennies over a
period of years and put them back
into circulation instead of continu
ing to hoard them for some future
use. The best use you can put
them to is in the purchase of war
stamps and bonds, if you have
saved enough for the latter.
Quiz Answers

3. A famous road with many
branches connecting Rome with
Southern Italy. 4. A brittle metal
of bluish-white color. 5. All three,
as well as a gifted poet and a well
known engineer. 6. A seabird of

PULP MILL HAS
NOVEL PROGRAM
AT ECUSTA PARTY
Presents One-Act Comedy,
“If Men Played Cards
As Women Do”
Feminine foibles were cleverly
satirized in a one-act comedy en
titled, “If Men Played Cards as
Women Do,” which was presented
by four male employees of the
Pulp Mill at the monthly party
given for employees in the Ecusta
cafeteria Friday evening, Nov. 26.
Sang Lyda was cast in the role
of “hostess” and his guests were
Fritz Merrill, Bill Bangs and Ott
Whitesides.
Naturally, women’s penchant for
gossip was revealed and the con
versation touched upon many
topics of interest to them. As
might have been expected, when
one of the quartet espied a phan
tom mouse in the corner of the
room where they were playing, all
of them promptly clambered on
their chairs with many shrieks.
Comment on the furnishings of
the room when the “hostess” went
out for a moment was avid and
scathing.
Before the play was presented,
John Eversman conducted a quiz
contest in which cigarettes were
awarded to those who gave correct
replies.
John Goolsby was then called
to the microphone, and, in re
sponse to Mr. Eversman’s questions
told how that morning on his way
to work he had battled and killed
a six-point deer, the first one
he had ever seen.
Square dancing was enjoyed
both before and after the pro
gram and a number of those pre
sent played bridge.
MEDICAL ADVICE
“Oh, doctor,” cried a wild-eyed
man, “I’m dreadfully afflicted. The
ghosts of my departed relatives
come and perch on the tops of the
fence posts all around my garden
when dusk is falling. I can look
out any evening and see a cou
ple of dozen spooks sitting on the
fence, waiting, waiting, waiting.
What shall I do?”
“Sharpen the tops of the posts.”

A Christmas Message For You:
This year, more than ever before, it is essential that we observe
the traditional customs of the Christmas season . . for that day,
more than all others, symbolizes the things for which we fight.
Let none feel that the giving and receiving of gifts is not consistent
with the present grim purpose to which we must be dedicated.
Rather, let us feel that, in this period of rapid change and vast
turmoil, it is up to those of us at home to retain those well-beloved
traditions so typical of the American way of life . . to preserve
them so far as humanly possible, so that those now fighting may
return to the good and friendly things which they cherish, c*id
of which none are more characteristic, or more important, than
the Christmas season.
