What’s What And Who’s Who
Several families, it seems, have
already started using this weekly
Times quiz as a family game, and
each one of the children tries to
see which one can best remember
what was in last week’s paper, or
else they save last week’s paper
and look it up from the page num
bers given in the quiz answers.
Here’s the quiz for this week: 1.
How is James Dickson setting a
good example? 2. What are the re
maining days for the income tax
office to be open in the post of
fice building? 3. How are Transyl
vania county service men to be
honored through this month? 4.
Was it twin roosters or a rooster
and a hen in the Farmers Federa
tion advertisement, and did you
count how many eggs there were
in the basket? 5. How much
money was raised from the
Christmas seal sale? 6. What new
doctor opened offices in Brevard
last Monday? 7. Who were the man
and lady looking at the new house
in the Brevard Lumber company
advertisement? 8. What was the
amount of war bonds sold at the
Brevard high school rally? 9.
When were Miss Fannie Sitton
and James E. Waters married? 10.
Who was honored at Madrie Gal
loway’s party?
No More Lipstick ^
Hurry up, girls! No more lip
stick imprint will be allowed on
V-mail letters to sweethearts and
hubbies in overseas service af
ter February 22. It causes too
much confusion and smearing of
the letter content for post of
fice officials to be willing to
contend with it much longer, is
the reason given for stopping
this war favor. At least, govern
ment authorities might be cred
ited with enough romance and
sentiment not to curtail this
privilege until after Valentine’s
Day.

Drink Your Milk, Dear
“Drink your milk, dear,” is a
command or entreaty often heard
in families where there are small
children. Every one should have
milk, fresh, evaporated or dried,
in some form, and there are many
ways to get the milk in the
diet if one does not like the taste
of milk to drink by itself. If you
can’t drink your milk portion eat
it in cream soups, milk puddings,
creamed dishes, ice cream, hot
chocolate, floating island, frozen
custards, baked custards and nu
merous other ways.
Matrimony Vs. Romance
Interesting facts were gleaned
from questionnaires sent out by
certain investigators in differ
ent sections of the country, in
which the husbands and wives
were asked to tell how they
rated each other after 15 years
of matrimony. The replies show
ed that nearly twice as many
husbands were satisfied with
their wives as there were wives
satisfied with their husbands.
Perhaps it all boils down to the
different views men and women
take of marriage. A man, it ap
pears from the different replies
given, considers his marriage a
success if he can settle down to
it in comfort and is satisfied with
his wife if she makes him a good
home and is easy to live with;
while women expect marriage to
be a never-ending romance and
for their husbands to be always
thrilling lovers. But who knows,
do you?

MACHINERY FOR I
INCREASED FOOD
The food production goal an
nounced for 1944 is the highest on
record. It calls for the largest
planting program in the nation’s
history—the planting of 380,000,
000 acres, an increase of 16,000,000
acres over 1943.
“This vast production program
will require the efficient utiliza
tion of machinery in planting, cul
tivating, and harvesting the farm
products needed,” says J. D. Blick
el, extension agricultural engineer
at State college.
Although more new machinery
will be made in 1944 than in 1943,
it may not be available in large
quantities when it is needed. Also,
the quantity of new machinery
probably will not be sufficient to
meet the increased crop acreage
and for replacement of worn equip
ment. This means that it is highly
essential to have every usable ma
chine now on the farms properly
repaired and maintained for use
in 1944.
“The machinery needs include in
spection, checking, ordering parts
early, repairing, servicing, and
maintenance. The machines, both
new and old, must be used effici
ently. Efficient use may make it
necessary to include in the pro
gram some plan of sharing so that
each essential machine will pro
duce to its maximum capacity,”
Bickle points out.
Timely Hints For
Farm Homemakers
BY RUTH CURRENT
“A good farmer must know more
than a doctor, a lawyer, a mechan
ic, or an industrialist. He must
know soils, be a veterinarian, an
agronomist, a botanist, a chemist,
a mechanic, a forester, a biologist,
and a horticulturist,” says Louis
Broomfield—a farmer.
It’s garden planning time. Plan
your garden so you will have a
continuous supply of a few vege
tables all through the growing sea
son. The green leafy vegetables
are especially important, and it’s
wise to have one or another of
them from earliest spring up until
freezing time.
Dr. Hazel Stiebeling, assistant
chief of the Bureau of Human
Nutrition and Home Economics,
says that as a nation we need to
double our supplies of green and
yellow vegetables.
High on the list for food values
are: tomatoes, cabbage, chard,
kale and beet greens. All these are
easy to grow. Other good vege
tables for nutrition are limas, snap
beans, carrots, green lettuce, spin
ach and turnips.

ways, just before taking a pie out
of the oven, sprinkle a little sugar
on the plate she was going to put
the pie on. It was placed on the
oven rack until thoroughly hot.
The pie and plate cooled together,
thus avoiding sweating of the pie
and a soggy bottom.
Whole wheat is a good food. For
good nutrition, each person re
quires one or more servings of a
whole grain cereal each day. Whole
wheat provides • energy for the
body. It contains some protein for
body building and repair.

LIMITED NUMBER
BUSES TO BE BUILT
BOR CIVILIAN USE
War Production Board Sees
Need For Transportation
In Helping War Effort
In permitting the manufacture
of a limited number of buses in
1944, the War Production Board
has given further recognition to
the importance of highway trans
portation in the war effort, accord
ing to Arthur M. Hill, president
of the National Association of Mo
tor Bus Operators.
WPB has set a tentative quota
of 6,960 integral type buses to be
built for civilian use in the next
twelve months. Indications are
that 1700 will be allocated for
intercity service.
Mr. Hill stated that more than
4.000 of the nation’s 22,000 inter
city buses are over eight years old,
the life expectancy of such ve
hicles. Although highway buses
are now carrying triple the num
ber of passengers of any pre-war
year, no new equipment has been
made available for over-the-road
use since 1942 and there is an
acute need for replacements.
Many buses are being driven
10.000 to 12,000 miles a month to
meet wartime transportation de
mands. Older models are kept op
erating only because the industry
has developed more intensified
methods of maintenance, repair,
and conservation.
While the number of new buses
promised the intercity lines is far
less than the annual requirements
in peacetime, even the limited
quantity will help by replacing the
carriers which have reached the
point where overhauling and re
pair work is impractical for de
pendable operation.

I Feeding troops overseas de
mands great amounts of concen
trated, processed foods. It takes
270 days’ supply of food, stored up
in advance, for each man in over
seas operations.
