Do Double Duty
In order to insure victory in this
war everybody has to co-operate
and do double duty, as we’ve heard
many times before, so do some
doubling-up yourself, Mrs. House
wife. In addition to being home
maker, be your own handy-man
for the duration. Carpenters, or
handywomen, are as good as their
tools, we’re told. Lots of little jobs
around the house aren’t too hard
for an amateur. Sometimes just a
nail or screw at the right place
can do a big repair job. As you get
more adept at household repairing,
you’ll find many opportunities
awaiting your attention that you
never thought before hubby, bro
ther or sonny went to war that
you were capable of doing.
Flowers And Their Symbols
The next time you wear a cer
tain flower on the lapel of your
coat or as a shoulder bouquet just
stop to think what the flower
means—what is its symbol. We’re
told that every flower has its own
meaning, so let’s consider a few
of them and see if they correspond
with the symbol you might have
had in mind. Here are a few: ca
mellia, pity; dahlia, forever thine;
hyacinth, jealousy; pansy, think of
me; rose, beauty; chrysanthemum,
truth; sweet pea, departure; lily,
purity.

Paul Goes A-Milking
Little Paul Schachner, 5-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Schach
ner, of Charlotte, is in Brevard
now with his mother and little
brother with his grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. S. Nicholson, while
Daddy has gone to war. The other
day his granddad told him he
could help him milk the cow, and
this was eagerly looked forward to
by little Paul, who hardly ever saw
a cow in Charlotte. Paul excitedly
ran to his grandmother and told
her the good news that he was
going to milk the cow that night.
Here’s what he told her:
Paul: “Nonnie,” (as he calls
his grandmother) “Grandad’s go
ing to let me turn the spigot on
the old cow.”

Flavor Important
To Quality Milk
Safety, good keeping qualities,
cleanliness, proper food value and
good flavor are most desirable in
high quality milk products, says
W. L. Clevenger, dairy manufac
turing specialist of the State Col
lege Extension service.
From a selling standpoint, prob
ably the most important of these
is good flavor.
“The flavor of milk varies great
ly among cows,” says Clevenger.
“The amount of butter fat con
tained in the milk in relation to
the sugar, protein and ash it con
tains will also affect the flavor. In
the same way, the feed that the
cow eats will be reflected in the
milk she produces.
“Some milk is inclined to a
watery taste, even though it is
fairly high in butterfat. And, the
feed and fruit flavors may be evi
dent in the milk from some cows,
while that from other animals that
have been fed the same diet will
have little or none of the flavor
defects,” Clevenger says.
He points out that if certain
roughages are fed within five
hours of milking, they are inclined
to give an off-flavor to milk.
While such flavors are not as se
rious as those resulting from
certain weeds, they do detract
from the quality of the product.
“Proper herd management is nec
essary to reduce flavor defects to
a minimum,” says the dairy spec
ialist.

tires you have now! The same life-extending process
