A New Quiz Feature
Each week we plan to start this
column with a Times quiz, which
will consist of questions based on
news stories and advertisements
which appeared in the previous
week’s issue of The Times. Far
ther on in the column, a hint to
the answers will be given by stat
ing the name of page and section
of the paper in which the answer
may be found. It is then up to
you to complete the answers by
reading the paper carefully enough
so that you are able to remember
until the following week, or, to be
on the safe side, you’d better save
your last week’s Times until the
next week and look up the an
swers for yourself. Try it as a
family game and see which one
has the best memory or can find
it first in the saved paper. Now,
as a starter, let’s see how much
you remember of last week’s pa
per without any previous effort
on your part. Here goes:

A Winter Shortcake
There’s no need for passing up
that all-time family favorite, the
shortcake, just because the straw
berry season is not yet on. There
are in every market plenty of ap
ples and cranberries, which com
bine to make a delectable short
cake, one as colorful and as good
to eat as any of your summertime
varieties. Here’s how to make the
apple and cranberry sauce for the
shortcake: Boil together for 3 min
utes one-half cup sugar and one
half cup water. Add 1 cup diced
apples and cook about 5 minutes,
then add 1 cup washed cranberries
and a stick of cinnamon and cook
until the cranberries pop, about 5
minutes. Serve this sauce with
double-decker biscuit type short
cake, made light, flaky and tender
according to your customary reci
pe. The shortcake may be topped
with the sauce and whipped cream,
or with a hard sauce of the brown
sugar variety.
Today Is Yesterday
Do you know what is meant by
Date Line that you see on your
war map or map of the world?
If not, you’ll find that it is an
arbitrary line drawn on a map
from north to south, starting at
the North Pole and traveling to
the South Pole, with two devia
tions, one of which is around the
Aleutian Islands to give them the
same day as the United States.
As the date changes on crossing
this line, it may be said to divide
today from tomorrow and yester
day. Amusing consequences some
times result, as a radio message
from the Phillipines, for instance,
arrives in America a day before
it is sent, according to the cal
endar.

Lespedeza Tests
Give Varied Data
Preliminary studies indicate that
Kobe and Korean lespedezas yield
approximately the same amount of
forage under the same grazing
conditions, reports Dr. R. L. Lov
vorn, in charge of forage crop in
vestigations at the State College
Experiment Station.
Tests revealed that when plant
ed together, the total yield was
approximately the same as either
alone, but Kobe contributed only
one-third of the combined yields.
Common and Tennessee 76 made
much less growth.
The yield of a mixture of Kobe
with either common or Tennessee
76 was intermediate between the
two. On the other hand, where
Korean and common were seeded
together, the result was decidedly
different. The combined yield was
equal to the yield from a pure
stand of Korean, but was made up
of 90 percent Korean and 10 per
cent common.
“These results would raise some
question as to the advisability of
seeding common or Tennessee 76
with either Korean or Kobe,” Lov
vorn says.
He suggests that growers pur
chase their supplies of lespedeza
seed for planting this season as
early as possible because there are
shortages in certain areas and seed
are hard to get.

Miss Norma Glazener and Ed
Brooks gave a birthday party at
Miss Glazener’s home Saturday
night. All report a nice time.
Doc West was a welcome visitor
here Wednesday. From all indica
tions, we believe some of our girls
will be going “West” soon.
C. B. Glazener returned last
week from Knoxville, where he
purchased an immense stock of
goods.
A. M. White, bookkeeper for the
Toxaway Tanning company, was
appointed to act as boss a few days
last week in Lonnie Batson^ ab
sence.
Edmund Woodbridge, who has
been connected with the tropical
fruit shipping business in Central
America for several years, is visit
ing his mother and friends in Bre
vard.
L. G. Siniard has returned from
the hospital where he went some
weeks ago for the third surgical
operation. He says that he is free
from pain and is in the enjoyment
of his usual good health.
A. L. Hardin, our efficient coun
ty surveyor, has finally discon
nected himself and family from
his old home near Brevard and
has become a citizen of Brevard.
He has bought the land formerly
owned by P. B. English.
T. B. Crary has bought the lot
on Main street recently owned by
Dunn’s Rock Masonic lodge, and
proposes to build thereon a double
front building at once. He plans
a rock basement under one of the
stores, and expects to begin ex
cavating as soon as it quits snow
ing.
There is to be a pie social at
the Kosman Presbyterian church
tomorrow night. The girls are to
furnish the pies and the boys pay
for them. The price is to be one
fourth cent per pound for the
weight of the girl who furnishes
them. It is also expected that Miss
Emma Sample will be present and
help make the occasion enjoyable.
The proceeds will be'used for buy
ing a stove and building a flue
for the school room.
Miss Arra Lankford has accepted
a position in Hendersonville and

during the muddy season—around
by the depot in order to get a
passable way.
With a coal famine almost in
sight and a shortage in the wood
supply, the snow storm Wednesday
scared our people worse than the
election returns of last week. Two
tons of coal ordered last July for
September shipment hasn’t show
ed up yet. The miners says it’s
on account of a shortage in cars.
Next year we will order in the
spring.
The street roller which Mr.
Bromfield ordered for rolling his
macadam road to the depot has

and there is little doubt that the
street will be “packed” after its
work is done.

IT's IN the air. You can feel it, every
time the Axis is struck. This is the
climax year, the year of decision.
In history, 1944 will be the big year
of the war—every stroke for victory
counts more now. That’s why it’s vitally
important for every American to be at his
post, domghis part right now.
You, personally, have an
important job in winning the
war—buying War Bonds. It's
not glamorous—no, not even
a sacrifice, really, because
you are only lending your
money, to be returned with
interest. But it is essential to complete
victory.
Your part in this year of decision is
at least one extra $100 Bond, above
your regular Bond buying. That is your
minimum individual quota. But don’t
stop there. Remember wars are won only
by all-out effort. So buy $200,
$300, $500 worth—buy viore
than you can afford. And buy
yourBonds whereyouiuork—
at the plant or at the office.
Your country is counting
on you—let’s make the year
of decision OUR year!
