3the Zebulmt tßrrnrii VOLUME XVI. THIS, THAT, & |! THE OTHER | By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS Because all my sons like ginger bread I keep experimenting with recipes for making it, and here is the easiest good one I’ve found. Mix one-half cup of lard tor but ter with one-half cupful sugar and add one beaten egg. Stir in one cup of molasses and then add, a little at a time, two and one-half cups of flour, measured after sifting, and with th e flour one and one-half teaspoons of soda, one teaspoon of ginger, one of cinnamon, and one-half teaspoon of cloves. This will make a very stiff, doughy batter, but lastly you must add one cupful hot wa ter —nearly boiling, which thins it down. Bake in a slow oven, about 325 or 350 degrees, if you have an oven thermometer. Be sure the molasses is' dark; it makes a better product than light sorghum does. This will serve twelve or sixteen, depending upon appetite and the first course of the meal. Use a little salt if lard is the shortening. The reason I know something about what Virginia is doing to wards protecting and developing her forests is that my brother, Manly Farmer, told me the last time I saw 7 him. It may be that North Carolina has a program as good; but nobody has told me. In Virginia the forest wardens not only watch for forest fires and direct operations against them; they try to teach citizens how to cooperate more efficiently in the w T ork. The wardens even go to school to talk to children, explaining the forest la vs and the reasons for them. They teach children how 7 to recognize the dif ferent trees more commonly seen and their uses for various pur poses. The Forest Service pub lishes a booklet which gives pic tures of twig, leaf and fruit of 62 of these trees. This booklet was prepared in collaboration with foresters of other states, one of w 7 hich is North Carolina. There is a smaller booklet containing the forest fire laws. To me it seems that begin ning with childhood is the best way to secure united support of a forest program. If w 7 e realize trees are our friends, w 7 e don’t destroy them willingly nor allow carelessness to endanger them. And w 7 e need to live for years with that love for the forests and the knowledge of their importance. The fire laws are being empha sized in this state, I am sure. Only last week I heard of a fann er who was fined for burning off his ditch banks without permis sion. And that set some of us to ■wondering about the truth of a report that we are supposed to get permission to bum trash in our back yards. However, I’ve not yet found any one who knows of such a ruling; and I’m going to try to get all my trash burned before making any further investiga tions. Not that such a law might be unwise. But if we have it, we’ll have to to away also with fires around wash-pots—or will we ? Anyway, once you’ve seen the destruction done by a fire that has ravaged thousands of acres, or even your own small favorite piece THE FOUR COUNTY ~HEWSPAPER — WAKE, JOHHSTOH, HASH AND FRAhjKLIH It. n.

Now this Sunday let’s try and eliminate all reasons and be on time. Our class has had an average attendance of about 25 for the past month. We want to bring that up to 45 within the next month. Come on out and be one of us. Frank Kemp of woods, you’ll be willing to abide by almost any law that helps reduce such danger.
