Place between burger toasted, split buns and add dollup of tartar sauce or chili sauce. Ham burgers can look to their laurels with these fish treats. Thought for Food from My Red Rocker: Lemons and lemon juice are perfect for all fish; they add zest and seem to enhance the natural flavor of the very food they compliment. To get the best and most lemon juice, warm your lemon first before squeezing or slicing. Good appetite to you all. Tasty Dishes Of (Continued From Page Four) and place over dough.

Through the years, she assisted her husband and later her son in the operation of Macfie drug store here. Mr. Macfie passed away in July, 1939. Mrs. Macfie finished College for Women, Columbia, S. C., and she won many loving cups through her prowess at tennis in various cities and communities throughout the south. An ardent sports fan, she was one of the strongest boosters of athletic activities, especially foot ball, in Brevard and Transylvania county. Mrs. Macfie was a member of the Brevard-Davidson River church and was active in religious and civic activities of the community. Pallbearers at the service on Monday were: Nathan McMinn, Ralph Morris, Goode Loftis, E. B. Matheson, Jack Alexander and Don Jenkins. Moore funeral home was in charge of arrangements. TRY TIMES WANT ADS Holmes Nursery On Crab Creek Highway (From Front Page Second See.) and ample mountain stream pro vides water for the irrigation neces sary during the hot months when there is insufficient rainfall. The tender, young seedlings need a great deal more care than one would believe from a casual obser vation. The narrow red slats cover ing each bed are called snow shades—but they are that and more. The seedlings are protected from severe cold (and occasionally snow) during the winter, but it is the glare of the summer sun that the small trees dislike the most. In winter they are also mulched with pine needles for added protection. When the weeds begin to grow each bed must be tediously weeded by hand so as not to disturb the young growing roots. The Japanese beetle must also be controlled. This is the busy time of year at Holmes Nursery. All is being readied for planting time, which usually begins around the first of April. In addition to these prepa rations the last of the year’s “crop” are being sorted for shipment. Although white pine seedlings occupy the most of the beds, locust, poplar and walnut trees are also grown at Holmes Nursery. The se curing and the preparation of the pine seeds for planting is an inter esting sidelight to the tree pro ducing story. Every state forester, fire warden, in fact every employee of the di vision of forestry, is on the look out for places to collect pine cones. The actual collection is done by the men who secure permission from the land owners in Western Carolina counties. The cones are taken to the nursery and put into a strange looking contraption that somewhat resembles the large wire container used to mix the tickets used in Brevard’s last trade event. The small seeds are separated in this manner and then put into en closed wire shelves for drying. Two years is needed from the time of planting until a seedling is ready for marketing. It must be sorted, graded and put into bundles of 50. Those too small are replant ed. The bundles are sold for $3.00 each and some two million have been produced in this year’s crop, a bumper one exceeding past years. As Mr. Pettit pointed out, the demand for seedlings is on the in crease. Most farmers in Transyl vania county have been securing theirs through the Tennessee Val ley Authority at no cost. Next year the TV A is stopping this practice and the Holmes Nursery will be swamped with orders. For that rea son more seeds are being readied for planting. Dwight Brinamann, superinten dent, has been at the nursery since last June and he and his family maintain an attractive residence on the property. Homer Orr, native of this county, has been the foreman there for some five years. Mr. Brinamann and Mr. Orr are both proud of the work at the nursery and welcome visitors in terested in this important phase of conservation. Mr. Taxpayer might be interested in stopping off there next time he goes to Henderson ville and find out what’s going on. •Come Monday he’s going to be PICK OF THE (Continued From Page Four) ask for anything nearer heaven on this earth? There were those a few years ago who said that cotton was a product doomed to die because synthetic yarns would push it off the market. But a lot of folks in the cotton business didn’t accept that verdict. They did not believe in giving up without a struggle, for they knew they had a product that had many, many good quali ties that could never be woven into a synthetic fabric. Now they are telling the wom en about cotton dresses, and show ing them how attractive they can be in cotton fashions. And the stores are selling more and more cottons. If you are a Gaston county wo man, you ought to find it mighty easy to prefer cotton. Your hus band’s business or job likely ben efits from one or more phases of the cotton industry. making a contribution to the cost of operation whether or not he has given much thought to the impor tance of reforestation.
