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

the sympathy shown during the

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.
