Timely Hints For
Farm Homemakers
By VERNA STANTON
Labels on cans and packages
give the exact weight of contents
and should be used as a guide in
estimating cost. Check cost per
ounce or pound.
The cost of food is no measure
of its food value. For example:
cheap cuts of meat have the same
food value as expensive cuts from
the same animal. Brown and white
eggs have the same food value.
A well-centered yolk is what
every cook wants in a hard-cooked
egg for deviling or stuffing. If the
yolk is too far offside, the white
is likely to break through during
the stuffing process. The quality
of the egg rather than the method
of cooking determines the position
of the yolk, say poultry specialists.
In an egg of Grade A or AA
quality, the white is thick and
holds the yolk in place. As the
quality deteriorates from lack of!
refrigeration and aging, the white
becomes thinner and" allows the
yolk to float. When such an egg
is cooked on its side, the yolk
rises to the upper side of the shell.
Keep the extra juices rom
cooked vegetables in your refrig
erator for use in your next soup.
The new school lunch act offers
an opportunity for all children to
get more adequate food than
they’ve been having. The passage
of the new school lunch bill widens
the opportunity for more states
and communities to take part.
Washington can’t do the school
lunch job alone. Nor under the
law is it permitted to do so, if
it would. This,emphasis on local
responsibility is, as it should be,
in the interest of democracy and a
stronger school lunch program.

repair and shows an almost com
plete lack of maintenance and
cleanliness, according to a report
of the grand jury last week in tha

survey.
Gill Thomas was foreman of
the grand jury, which stated the
following conditions and recoup

1. The hallways of the court
house were found to be cluttered
up with drums, barrels and boxes
and recommendation was made
that these and other similar items
be stored elsewhere.

of the court house are in need of
repair and painting, and the eouiv

NOTICE
TO ALL
SUBSCRIBERS
Because of increased price of newsprint and other
supplies and greatly increased production costs, we
have found it necessary to revise our subscription rates
starting January 1, 1947.
The cost of newsprint alone has advanced over 65
per cent and all material and labor costs today that go
into the making of a newspaper are up considerably.
Most of the newspapers in this and other sections
of the nation have already increased their subscription
rates and, as everyone knows, the price of practically
all commodities has advanced.
The new and revised rates of this paper will only be
in line with those charged throughout the nation. We
regret the necessity for making a revision at this time,
but economic factors make it imperative.
Effective January 1, 1947, our subscription rates
will be: In Transylvania county: 1 year, $2.50; £ year,
$1.50. Outside of Transylvania county: 1 year, $3.00;
i year $2.00.
