I Grow a Victory Garden Save Money Improve Health I Zrbitlmt Wivtotb This, That Cr The Other By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis For years I have thought myself the most aecomplished hitch hiker in this section. I don't even have to extend a thumb to be picked up by whoever sees me walking down town or back home, and who knows me. It is seldom that I have walked the whole way. But here is notification to all who have been so kind and to others who might be: In this day of tire scarcity please do %ot offer me a ride unless you are very pos itively going my way; no more saying “I was going to the office," or the bank or some place in the immediate scctioi? that houses the Record plant. I should feel almost guilty of sabotage if for me you put more wear on a tire that may be desperately need' ed later on. Nobody knows just what is ahead. Conserve what: you have and be as nearly ready as possible. We are receiving lists of recipes for booking without sugar. But the rub comes when molasses or honey or sirup is called for. Os the three perhaps sorghum mo lasses is our most logical selection. The sorghum can be raised in this section and will provide seed heads for chickens and fodder for cattle in addition to its juice for boiling £ down into molasses. My father used to feed the long stalks of sorghum to fattening hogs and found it highly satisfactory, being all * eaten except* that the hogs would sometimes spit out the stalks after getting all the juice. I’m no farmer, but it would seem a gixid idea to make gallons and gallons of molasses this year. And don't call it sugar cane. That does not grow here nor does it grow from seed. Instead a sec tion of the stalk is planted. Sugar is made from cane, molasses being a sort of by product. And here's f cooking hint: If you have a recipe calling for brown sugar, you can substitute white, adding a little sorghum just enough to color the white sugar, first taking out as much as you re place with the molasses.

WMUumm Volume XVIII. 22 Vegetables Are Needed on Farms Victory Gardens Are Composed of Health- Giving Vegetables What constitutes a "Victofy Garden”? This question has been raised in connection with the "Victory Garden" campaign through which every farm family is asked to con tribute to the National war effort by producing their own fruits and in 1942. H. R. Niswonger, Extension horticulturist of N. C. State Col lege, answers the question, as fol lows: "A Victory Garden is one in which a sufficient quantity of different vegetables are grown to feed the family. Normally this rquires one-tenth of an acre for each member of the family, with 10 or more different vegetables grown." Niswonger suggests that the following 22 vegetables be grown, and he recommends varieties of seed to buy, and tells the amount of seed to plant for a family of five persons: Bush lima beans, Henderson Bush, Wood's Prolific and Baby Fordhook varieties, 2 1-2 pounds of seed; pole lima beans, Carolina Sicxe and Challenger varieties, 2 1-2 pounds of sed; bush snap beans, Stringless Black Valentine, Stringless Greenpod, and Bounti ful varieties, 5 pounds; pole snap beans, Kentucky Wonder, 2 1-2 pounds; beets, Early Wonder and Crosby’s Egyptian, 2 1-2 ounces; cabbage, Wakefield (early) and Danish Ball Head (late), 1 ounce; carrots, Chantenay and Imperator, 2 1-2 ounces. Collards, Carolina Short Stem, 1 ounce; cucumbers, Clark's Spe cial and Kirby, 2 1-2 ounces; let tuce, Big Boston and New York No. 12, one ounce; okra, White Velvet and Perkins Mammoth, 2 1-2 ounces! field peas, Crowder and Cowpcas, 2 1-2 pounds; gar den peas, Laxton's Progress and Laxtonia, 2 1-2 pounds; peppers, California Wonder, one-half ounce; onion (sets), Silverskin, Ebenezcr and Yellow Globe Dan vers, 5 pints; kale, Siberian and Dwarf Blue Scotch, 2 1-2 ounces; spinach, Virginia Savoy and Long Standing, 2 1-2 ounces; squash, Yellow Crookneck and White Bush, 2 1-2 ounces; sweet corn, Golden Cross Bantam and loana, 1 1-4 pounds; mustard, Southern Giant Curled, tomatoes, Pritchard, Rutgers and Marglobc, 14 ounce; turnips, Purple Top, 5 ounces; Irish potatoes, Cobbler, Green Mountain and Sequoia, 5 pecks; and 500 sweet potato slips of available variety.

N. addressed the girls of the senior class at Wakelon last Thursday in the interest of the present n9fd for girls to enter training schools for nurses. Mrs. Horton gave interesting in formation relating to the profes sion of nursing, and cautioned the girls to carefully select a school in which they will be most satisfied as size and location may be consid ered, but the credits'should he of the highest value. Many different branches of the w 7 ork for a grad uate nurse were mentioned and the desirability of continuing study for a degree in nursing. This talk was made in response to an appeal by the Federal Gov ernment to the Nursing Organi zations who have presented it to every senior class in the state this week. Pvt. Curtis Wants to Hear from Home £rom Chanutc Field, Rantoul, 111. came a message from Pvt. C. H. Curtis with a subscription to the Record —that he may know of “what goes on back home.” This young soldier declares that he means to put all possible into the struggle ahead. He feels he was not forced into the Army but was called to help defend the human way of life. Pvt. Curtis appreci ates the way friends here are send ing him news from home and friends. He enlisted for three years, or as long as needed in this war. BRIEF SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS At last Singapore has falkn to the Japs. What was believed to be another Gibraltar proved to be only a fairly well fortified island. Here as elsewhere in the far East smaller numbers have through their superior, air units been able to take stronger land forces, It r said that Japan has perhaps few over 400,000 fighting men out side China and that 200,000 of these are in the Philippine Islands There they are believed to be ready for a supreme effort to take McArthur. They continue their victorious advance against other Allied forces in the East Indies. Losses so far have lengthened the v/ar by years. Not till the Allies have superior air fighting units Books Wanted For Soldiers Taking active part in Ihe effort to provide reading mat ter for soldiers, the Junior Vfbman’s Club asks all who will donate to this cause to bring books to the Woman’s Club next Monday afternoon. The door will be unlocked and donors may enter at their con venience. Good magazines, books of fiction, biography, history, and some textbooks are want ed I)o not bring books on science unless of very recent date. It is hoped that all will share in this effort to furnish enter tainment for chance hours of leisure. A soldier’s life is hard enough at best; if it can be made easier, who would fail to help? Rotary Club Hears Hoyle Bridgers Rotary held its 106th consecu tive 100 percent meeting. Hoyle Bridgers had the program. He spoke on one variety of cotton that Rotary had advised farmers to plant. The variety selected was Coker's Iff?. Hoyle said this to his mind, is the best to plant as it yields nearly 40 percent lint. It is a dwarf variety and could be fertilized higher than the aver age planted in this section, be cause the fertilizer helped it to fruit instead of growing a large useless stalk. Last year nearly 600 acres of this variety were planted and farmers who planted it received more income than those planting the average variety. Nowell YWA Meets The Nowell Y. W. A. of Wake field Ehptist Church held its monthly meeting Wednesday night, February 11, at the home of Savon and Lois Eddins. After business was .transacted a pro gram, in charge of Mrs. Edison Wood, was presented on "Rain bow of Hope.” There was an at tendance of 11 members. At the end of the meeting a delicious salad course served, carried! out in the Valentine motif. A */S r#* ti may they be expected to make per manent headway towards winning the war. America has the men and no doubt has sent large num hers of reinforcements, hut with out the necessary mechanized fighting equipment they will add little to successful opposition. Russia claims to be making con tinued advances against the Ger mans, though Hitler's forces are stiffening their lines. There is a lull in the fighting in Africa. The English lost much they hod gained. The Germans arc be lieved to be making prepar a lions for a surprise attack somewhere, but as to where the usual German secrecy will reveal that only when they attack. 2 Weeks Left for Filing Taxes Penalties Are Imposed For Tardiness; You Had Better Hurry In the event of failure to make and file an income tax return as required by law within the pre scribed time, a certain percent of the amount of the tax is required to be added Jo the tax unless fait ure to file the return within the | prescribed time is shown to the satisfaction of the CommissiQner to be due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. The amount to be added to the tax is 5 percent if the failure is for more than thirty days, with an additional 5 percent for each additional thirty days or fraction thereof during which failure to file a return continfrs, not to ex ceed 25percent in the aggregate A taxpayer who files a tardy re turn and wishes to avoid the ad dition to the tax or delinquency must make an affirmative showing of all facts, alleged as a reason* able cause for failure to file the return on time, in the form of an affidavit which should be attached to the return.

Shoe Leather Replaces Tires You’ll See People Walking, Now That Tires Are Scarce Ordinary citizens are going to have to depend more and more on shoe leather, now that tires are being rationed. Miss Julia Mclver, assistant Extension clothing specia list of N.C. State College, says this calls for better protection of shoes. There are several ways to make shoes wear longer, “Miss Mclver declared, -"and in this war emer gency we must make all things last. Thousands of shcx:s come to an early end because they lack care. The home economist says that polishing shoes regularly isn’t just a cranky notion. Polishing shoes feeds the leather, makes il pliable, and protects it. The life of literally thousands of pairs of shoes is shortened by failure to dry them properly,” said Miss Mclver. "Waterproof- I ing shoes helps protect them, but doesn't take the place of rubber • overshoes or rubber boots for walking in water, soft mud or slushy snow. Shafts which be come wet should be dried slowly, not t(xi close to an open fire, and never in a hot place like the top of a radiator or in the oven. “The right way to dry shoes,” the clothing specialist explained, "is this: First, wash off all mud with a damp cloth and wipe the surface as dry as possible. Oil the shoes lightly all over with castor oil. Rub it in well. Straighten the counters, heels, toes and vamps if they need it. Then stuff the shoes with crumpled pap er, or, on the farm, with oats to keep their shape and absorb moisture. Set the shoes in a moderately warm place for sever al hours or overnight. Polish when dry.” The State College economist says most people never stop to think how much they spend an nually on shoes for the family. Rising costs demand that waste of materials be stopped during the war emergency.
