?'? Ui.?r?,.v. * ? ' America's Iron Horses N earing End Of |r! WASHINGTON?An Ameri can child born today probably will never see a steam locomo tive highballing down t h e track or hear the siren song of its whistle. The end of the iron horses has come with stunning swift ness, the National Geographic Society says. A decade ago, 21,200 steam locomotives were still thundering along the na tion's major railroads. Now, the big lines own less than 80. Some retired engines were sold to foreign countries. Most have gone to the scrap pile. About 450 have been put on display, like mounted masto^ dons, in museums and public parks. "Sullen Secrecies" Economy has forced the rail road companies to turn from| the steam engine's "fierce-; throated beauty" (Walt W'hit-| man), to the "sullen secrecies, of diesel-electro p ow w e r", (Lucius Beebe). Not a single steam locomo tive has been built for Amer ican railroads since 1953, the Association of American Rail roads reports. The 400 or so new locomotives ordered each year are diesels, except for some turbine-electric units. But memories of the huge, | rugged, powerful, aggressively ' noisy iron horses do jiot dim. j Railroad buffs, who are ex ' ceeded by no group in the I expenditure of nostalgia, found their poet laureate in Thomas : Wolfe. The late writer de ; scribed an experience common to all who have stood waiting on the "depot" platform: "Then the locomotive drew in upon them, loomed enor mously above them, and slowly swept by them with a terrific, drive of eight-locked piston wheels, all higher than their heads, a savage furnace-flare j of heat, a hard hose-thick hiss [ of steam, a moment's vision of j a lean old head, an old gloved- j hand of cunning on the throt-| tie, a glint of demon hawk-j ?i When minutes count, self-rising- corn meal cornea to the rescue In -this quick Golden Supper Bake. Beneath its tender golden corn meal topping is a tuna or chicken base. Creamy mushroom aad green pea sauce tops each bite, placing Golden Supper Bake In the class or the popular one-dish entrees. k The corn meal topping has a light souffle-like texture created toy using three well-beaten eggs in the batter then beating in more airy lightness with the other ingredients. Baking puffs the topping and Vums it a golden brown. Because the leavening and salt are already blended Into the ?elf-rising corn meal and flour, no pre-mixing of these ingredients to needed.

A?encan transportation lor hardly more than a cen U 18 a memorable part of the Nation's history, progress, and lore. Inland cities such as Atlanta. Indianapolis, and Den ver owe their existence to the railroad. Historians credit the Balti more and Ohio Railroad with starting construction on Amer ica s first true railroad. Earth (or the road was turned on July 4. 1828. by 90-year old Charles CarroU, who had sign ;>d the Declaration of Inde pendence. It was on this road that ^eter Cooper's famous "Tom rhumb," the first steam loco motive built in the United states, lost a celebrated race to a mare. Tom Thumb was so >mall that gun barrels were ?ised for tubes in the boiler. AH engines in the early days vere tiny tin-pot affairs, and 'ngineers had much to learn I "bout them, the National Geo -I graphic said. An engineer on The Best Friend of Charles on, the first American loco lotive constructed for regular ervice, grew weary of listen ng to the hiss of steam. He 'lugged up the safety valve nd it was not long before the' " nt railroad industry exper-| snced its first boiler explos-' an. I Explosions were so common' nat a buffer of cotton bales isually was placed between e engine and the passengers Inevitably, there had to be first accident.

JERUSALEM (Continued from page 1) mouth of a creek, and on up the creek to a little chapel in the woods near Hendrick's Mill; this would about corre spond to the church said to have been located near the J "Double Bridges," near the North Carolina-Virginia Line. Jerusalem Methodist Church became one of a large number of "meeting houses" under the leadership of one minister. It is believed that Mr. Williams was appointed to the Peters burg Circuit, which included all the Methodists from Nor folk to Danville, and from Pet ersburg to Raleigh. One source indicates that by 1777 there were six Methodist circuits in Virginia and one in North Car olina with a membership of about four thousand, nearly two-thirds of the entire Meth odist enrollment in the Colo nies at that time, and from this beginning there is rapid growth. Sometime later, it is believ ed that a log church was built near the present structure. _ In time, this log church gave place to the present edifice. Mr. R. F Rose was the con tractor. For a time, Jerusalem Church was part of a large group of churches known as the R i d g e w ay Metho dist Charge, and since a large group of churches shared one minister, the preaching ser vices were held only about once a month. It was in the 1920's that the churches in and near Norlina (Norlina Methodist. Jerusalem Metho dist, and Zion Methodist) join ed together to form the Nor lina Charge. The three churches then shared their minister and built their par sonage in Norlina. At the 1960 session of the North Carolina Annual Confer ence of the Methodist Church, Zion and Jerusalem Churches became a two-point circuit, known as the Jerusalem-Zion Charge. At this time the churches jointly purchased the parsonage which was formerly the parsonage of the Norlina Charge. There is no record of the names of the pastors of the Jerusalem Methodist Church until the year 1881; however, beginning in that year until the present time, the following list of ministers has been compiled: the Rev. R. F. Webb, J. R. Griffith, J. N. Cole, R. 0. Burton, J. W. Jenkins, J. A Hornaday, T. J. Dailey, D. L. Earnhardt, J. A. Lee, L. M. Chaffin, B. C. Allred. J. E. Holden, W C. Merritt, M. Y. Self, H. M. Eure, W. M. Wall, J. I,. Midgette, B. C. Thomp son, C. W. Gholston, W. C. Wilson, E. D. Dodd, W. T. Phipps, W. G. Farrar, S. G. Boone, H. B. Baum, C. E. Vale, r. C. Andrews, and the Rev. [)onald F. Funderburk, the >resent pastor. Mr H. M. King underwent in eye operation in Warren General Hospital on Monday. Say you saw it advertised in rhe Warren Record. Better than cake from a cookbook, this butterscotch-topped burnt sugar cake is auickly made from a newlv improved mi*. Sprinkled with crunchy popcorn, it has special appeal to chil dren, if Dad doesn't beat them to itl It's A Family Affair Somehow, nothing seems to turn an ordinary meal into an occasion more easily than a freshly-baked cake. And, when the cake combines the favorite old-fashioned flavors of butter scotch and burnt sugar, it's apt to become a frequently served specialty-of - the-house. The cake begins with a pack age of Duncan Hines deluxe burnt sugar layer cake mix. The new, easy package direc tions call for only 2 minutes of one-speed beating. Onco baked, melted butterscotch is spread between the layers and over the top for a quick-as-a-wink fill ing and frosting. Crisp popcorn adds a finishing touch. Try one of the new mixes to day. There are six special fla vors, cherry supreme, coconut surprise, chocolate mint, fuoje marble, lemon supreme and burnt sugar, in addition to the four perennial family favorites, white, yellow, spice, and devil's food.

Free Wheeling By BILL CROWE LL Here are some motoring tips for keeping your car perform ing economically and at its best: If you use your car mostly for short haul trips and sub urban driving, take it out on the open road once a week for a half hour run at highway speeds. This helps the engine to keep itself clean. Have the engine coolant checked at every gas stop. In ternal temperature goes up to 4500 degrees (hot enough to melt iron- while the engine is running. This tremendous heat is safely dissipated by the cooling system. Since heat causes metal to expand, the system must be A-OK to keep moving parts in proper adjust ment for operating efficiency. Use the engine to save your brake linings by anticipating stops well in advance and slowing down gradually. Use the brakes only to make a complete stop. Change motor oil every 60 i days this summer, or at least j every 2000 miles. Replace fil ter at each oil change, prefer ably, but never use it more j than 4000 miles. Motor oil doesn't wear out but it does become contaminated by acids, water and dirt. Clean lubri cating oil is essential for econ omy. The air filter should be changed (or cleaned- every 10,000 miles. Cut the engine while waiting [ for someone you expect to be gone "only a minute." Ex cessive idling not only wastes t gas, it hastens the build up j of carbon deposits and sludge j inside the engine. Keep tires, including the ^ spare, at recommended pres sures. When tire pieaiiUM are low, extra friction causes wear and burns extra gasoline. To even out wear have tires t rotated at about 5000 mile In tervals. Grease is a lot cheaper than metal. The chassis should re ceive a good lube job at regu-^ lar intervals?every thousand miles or so. It's not much of an exeaggeration to say a properly lubricated part never wears out. Select the brand of gas to adequately meet your en gine's octane requirements, but low enough to avoid wasted fuelpower and wasted dollars. Spark plugs affect the per formance of the engine far more than most owners sus pect. Faulty or dirty spark ers waste up to one gallon of gas in ten. They also con tribute to hard starting and mushy engine performance. Smart drivers have their plugs cleaned, r^gapped and adjusted every 8000 miles or there abouts.
