OUR READERS SAY Letters of interest are always welcomed in this department, but opinions expressed therein are not necessarily shared by The Times. V..---/ Where Was I And Where Were You? Did you know that the Red Cross is still working on surgical dressings that should have gone out in November? And has it ever occurred to you, you who have never aided in the Red Cross work, that this is your war the same as it is the boys who have given their lives to preserve things that so many of us hold so lightly and cherish not at all? If we did, our Red Cross room would be filled, and our surgical dressings would go out on time. Did you know that the number of women who worked at the Red Cross room last week was below the average attendance? And some of these were repeaters. Shocking, isn’t it, that so few feel it their duty to help make the dressings that are needed so badly? Our last week’s attendance should have been five times as great. Where was I, and where were you? Some of us will have good excuses — illness, busy, etc. But what about the countless others who are spending hours in idle ness—hours that are so precious in wartime. Surely everyone of you could give at least three hours a week to this great work. Surely the women of Brevard and Transylvania county realize how important this work is, and that they will resolve in 1944 to lay aside the unimportant things and gather at the Red Cross room to rush out these needed supplies. This is a heart to heart plea. We must not fail those who fight, and who are dying fighting. Is it too much to ask — three hours a week, twelve hours a month? Deny yourself, so that others might live, and spend much of your time at the Red Cross room. For a long time the monitors of the Red Cross room have given very generously of their time and have done a wonderful work. Let us show them our appreciation by backing them with a larger at tendance than ever before. “Bring your ^ friend and your friend’s friends,’’ and very soon you will be proud that you have a part in this great work. —A Regular Worker. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank every one for the sympathy shown during the sickness and death of Mrs. Alfred Galloway and for the beautiful floral offering. Alfred Galloway and Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Stewart. College Cagers To Play Moore General Hospital Here Sat The Brevard college basketball team will play a team from the Moore General hospital here Sat urday night in the college gym.

Timely Hints For Farm Homemakers By Ruth Current Wartime cookery calls for ex pert gravy-making for today meat flavor is too precious to waste in gravy that is lumpy, curdled, greasy, pasty or otherwise unap petizing. Slow and steady is the first rule for the gravy-maker. Take time to measure carefully, mix thoroughly, and cook slowly with steady stir ring. Hasty mixing or hurried cooking causes lumps. Gravy made without measuring may be greasy and separated, too thick or too thin. For best flavor and rich brown color, blend the flour with the fat. Then slowly add cool or lukewarm liquid, while stirring over the low heat. The right pro portions are: 1V2 to 2 tablespoons each of flour and fat to 1 cup of liquid. To make gravey in a roasting pan, first remove the meat to a hot platter, then pour the drip pings into a bowl. Skim off the fat that rises to the top. Back in the pan, mix together equal measures of flour and fat over low j heat. Gradually stir in the cool J liquid which may be juice that cooks out of the meat, broth made by stewing bones or vegetables tomato juice, milk or water. Last, but far from least in mak ing good gravy, is the seasoning. Add salt and pepper with care be cause the drippings already may contain enough. Every bit of drip pings that has browned on the pan should be worked up with liquid to give flavor and color.1 Other seasoning possibilities are: finely chopped onion, parsley or celery leaves, grated horseradish, tomato, or a tiny pinch of clove powder.
