What’s What And Who’s Who
Here are the questions from last
week’s Times: 1. How much of a
family was shown in the picture
of the army man and his wife?
2. How many Scouts received pro
motion? 3. Did you count the num
ber of graduates shown in the
Brevard college picture of pre-col
lege seniors? 4. How many mer
chants donated prizes in the war
bond auction rally? 5. How many
pianos did Houston Furniture store
advertise for sale? 6. What will be
the pay ranges for mustering out
servicemen? 7. How many real
estate transactions were there in
the county in January? 8. How
many calls did the Red Cross an
swer last year? 9. Where did Miss
Edna Nesbit spend the week-end?
10. How many marriage licenses
have been issued in this county so
far in 1944?
Good Health Essentials
“Good health is better than
great riches,” is a saying often
heard, and one that is worth
farther analysis. The five most
important essentials to attain,
maintain and preserve good
health might be listed as fol
lows: Wholesome food, fresh air,
proper exercise, suitable rest
and baths. The first step in good
health is a simple, wholesome
diet, the proper choosing and
combination of such foods as
will make a perfect balanced
meal. Lack of sufficient fresh
air and sunshine will furnish
excellent medium for the de
velopment of germs that produce
infectious diseases. Simple exer
cises, the proper amount of rest
and sleep and a thorough cleans
ing of the body by frequent
baths are necessary to good
health.

What is the longest word in the
English language?
Army In Junk Business
It is told of an army camp in
Mississippi that the camp quarter
master’s salvage officer is in the
junk business to the tune of about
eight million dollars a year, which
goes to the U. S. Treasury. Its
sales consist of unusable garbage,
burlap bags, old radio sets, waste
paper, rubber shoes, blankets and
other equipment beyond repair.
The Lowly Turnip
The lowly turnip has a very
definite place in your wartime
menu, and there are many appe
tizing ways in which it may be
prepared and served. Crispy tur
nip shreds are good and easy to
make. Place 4 cups shredded yel
low or white turnips, one-fourth
cup water and 1 tablespoon fat
drippings in a saucepan or skil
let. Cover and cook 10 minutes
or until tender, stirring once or
twice. Add a little more water
if it cooks too dry. Season with
salt and pepper. Makes four
servings. Will give some more
turnip recipes another time.
Household Hints
Believe-it-or-not, but nickel on
stoves may be quickly polished
with soot, rubbed with a newspa
per to bring back the original
luster. If garments are stained
with pencil marks, rub the marks
with an eraser, then wash with
soap and water, if material is
washable, and if not, sponge with
a good dry cleaner. Cheese should
be stored in a tightly covered
container away from the coldest
part of the refrigerator. If the cut
surface is spread lightly with but
ter or margarine it will not dry
out. Iron rust may be removed by
using salt and lemon juice. Place
articles in the sun to bleach. If
one application is not enough, try
another.

Reduce Egg Loss
By Proper Feeding
A large percentage of the egg
losses due to cracking and break
ing can be eliminated by proper
feeding, suggests C. F. Parrish,
Extension poultryman at State Col
lege.
About 5 percent of all eggs pro
duced are lost between the nest
and the table, and most of this
loss can be eliminated by feeding
the flock a sufficient amount of
vitamin D to enable them to utilize
the full advantage of the calcium
in the oyster shell or ground lime
stone.
“We are approaching the season
of flush egg production,” Parrish
says, “and poultrymen should
make every effort possible to re
duce this loss between the nest
and the table.”
Oyster shell or ground lime
stone, which should be before the
flock at all times, is not enough
in itself to eliminate thin-shelled
eggs. There are several carriers of

LAST HOUR OF WAR
EVERY EXTRA CORD OF PULPWOOD
BRINGS VICTORY NEARER
Right now one of the critical war-material shortages is pulp
wood. And this shortage can be overcome. There is plenty of
pulpwood to be cut. The woods are full of it. The only problem
is to get it cut.
Cuffing Pulpwood k An Essential War Job
If you are in a position to get out some pulpwood—and every
cord helps—you can contribute that much to an early victory
and be well paid for your work. The nation looks to you for
help! For information, ask your local pulpwood committee.

For Transylvania County
vitamin D such as feeding oil and,
if the flock is producing many
soft or thin-shelled eggs, it is ad
visable to mix this feeding oil or
other sources of vitamin D with
the grain every day. Sources hav
ing a potency of 400 units of vita
min D per gram should be used at
the rate of pound to each 100
pounds of grain. This can be easily
mixed when using 2 ounces of oil
to each 25 pounds of grain.
Special Vegetables
For Home Gardens
Gardeners who wish to put in
asparagus, lettuce, strawberries
and other small fruits not general
ly grown, should get busy at once,
say Extension horticulturists at
State College.
They suggest that a wider variety
of vegetables and fruits will not
only increase the food supply but
will also add a delightful change
to the family menu and make gar
dening much more interesting.
A special War Series Bulletin,
No. 30, has just been issued by
the State College Extension Ser
vice to fill the needs of just such
gardeners and it is free for the
asking. Write the Agricultural Edi
tor, State College, Raleigh, request
ing a free copy of this bulletin.
It contains interesting informa
tion on how the city gardener may
construct a frame garden. Tobacco
growers will find that the tobacco
plant bed is an excellent place for
a frame garden and can be used
to advantage in growing vegetables
on the long, hot days in summer.
The bulletin also contains infor
mation on the growing of onions.
The time of planting is February
for the Tidewater and Coastal
Plain regions; February and March
for the Piedmont region; and the
lower altitudes of the mountains
in February and the higher alti
tudes in March,

Timely Hints For
Farm Homemakers
BY RUTH CURRENT
Mud stains, especially on chil
dren’s clothes, are among the most
frequent clothes cleaning problems
in spring time. Mud stains are not
difficult to remove if dealt with
promptly and properly.
Clothing specialists advise let
ting the mud dry, then brush off
as much as possible with a stiff
brush. If the mud is on a wash
garment, soak in clear cold water
then wash with soap and warm
water. If the garment is not wash
able, sponge the stain with dena
tured alcohol. For rayon and color
ed clothes use diluted alcohol.
Twice as much water as alcohol is
the proportion.
Mud often does more damage to
leather than to fabric. If left to
dry on shoes it may make a perma
nent stain. It should be removed
at once with a wet cloth or stiff
brush. Polish shoes when dry.
No ironing. After washing over
alls in soapy water, rinse twice but
only wring out the first water.
Hang on the line dripping wet.
You will be surprised how smooth
they will be when dry. I wash my
cotton gloves this way.
Does you pressure canner need
to be repaired? If so, now is the
time to send it back to the factory.
Manufacturers of pressure canners
say that they can handle repair
jobs on canners faster before pro
duction of 1944 canners gets into
full swing. Repair parts will be
available for all standard makes
of canners. Don’t return your can
ner to the factory, if it can be re
paired at home.
The National Food Conference,
recently held in Chicago, recom
mended only steam pressure can
ning for all the low-acid vegetables
and meats.
Moses advanced a nation to the
worship of God in spirit instead
of matter, and illustrated the grand
human capacities of being bestow
ed by immortal mind.—Mary Ba
ker Eddy.
When your doctor asks where you
prefer to have your prescription
filled, say: VARNER’S, because:
Filled only by registered pharma
cist; as written and at reasonable
prices. (Advt.) tfc
