©be Bcbttlon gjgcorfr Volume XV. This, That and the Other By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS Two years ago my little quince trees had two quinces; last year there were four; this year there is a fair-sized crop; so I really hope we are to be allotted two ex tra pounds of sugar. Quinces are nothing to eat raw and aren’t much to can; hpt for jelly or preserves they have a color and flavor beyond most things. If you are using whole wheat flour these days—and I hope you like it—you don’t need to worry over enrichment; all the food value is there. Rolls, muffins, brown bread or slowly-baked hoe cake are wonderfully good made with whole wheat flour. Its trou ble is that in this climate it does not keep well, so let’s eat as fast and as much as possible while it is fresh. You’ll see a good bit of printed matter these days concerning dry ing vegetables instead of canning them. Go ahead with it, if time permits; but remember to see that they are very dry. Climate makes a difference, and what is fine for the mountainous section can’t be depended on here every time. Some things ,if dry enough to keep in our climate, are so dry they don't do right when cooking them later. You can dry corn, butterbeans, snaps, and stewed to matoes; but you’ll need time, sun and patience; unless you don’t mind what your electricity bills amount to and use your stove for drying them. If anybody likes and wants that vine which covers the little front porch at our house and which threatens to cover the entire house, he or she is welcome to come and dig up all that is want ed. It is a member of the grape family and I did know its name; but it sounded so much like put ting on airs to say it that I quit telling what it was and forgot. It is never attacked by mildew, in sects, worms or blight; it has lovely foliage and small insignifi cant flowers followed by clusters of lovely berries that may be eat en if you have nothing better to do or to eat. It is perfectly hardy and will make a fine shade in one season. With all the above-mentioned good qualities you may want to know why I am so generous with that vine. Here’s w r hy: It has, smothered my little white jessa mine vine that used to furnish small, starry white blooms most of , the summer; it has choked the cape jessamine and hydrangeas that are near it; it sends up shoots faster than we can find time to chop them down; it reaches across and links together on each side of the front door, has caught hold of the house itself, and is well on its way to the roof. If some one does not come for the vine soon, the first-aiders may be needed to get us unwrapped from its tendrils. FARMERS RUSHING CURING The early season for curing to bacco has made farmers even bus- j ier than usual at this time. Many’ barns are filled each week in this sectiort. The quality is said to be as good as might be expected con sidering the short period of j growth. Zebulon Wins, 16-5, Over Wendell Nine The Zebulon semi-pro Zebs, led by the Hinton boys, old man Worth and first-baseman Bull, gave away a three-run lead in the first inning on Sunday, and then went on to stage a 16-5 win over Wendell in the Wakelon ball park. Old man Worth covered center field like a wet blanket, and stole many a hit from the Wendellites, while Bull Hinton had 12 putouts marked to his credit. Four Wendell pitchers were gen erous with walks, and the Wendell 1 outfield wasn’t stingy with errors, and so Zebulon found it easy to push across six runs in the seventh and put the game in the bag. Smith was winning pitcher for Zebulon. All four pitchers con tributed handsomely to Wendell's loss. Zebulon Record Is Back in First Place The Zebulon Record went right back into first place in the Munic iple League last Wednesday by swamping Carolina Power and Light, 14-5, in a seven-inning af fair, taking full revenge for the long string of defeats CP&L had handed the Record outfit. Pitcher G. C. Massey did his finest work on the mound, holding the Power team to nine hits and letting them score in just two in nings. Said Pitcher Masesy after the game: “Aw, it wasn’t nothing." Russel Temple was the only man to get more than one hit for Caro lina Power and Light . \V KltV KSIIAV'S BOX: Record: ah r h 5 B. I >avis, c 5 1 3 <}. C.

Air Forces to Win Second World War More than 327 ships have been sunk by German U-boats and now lie at the bottom of the Atlantic.

A great many people have been converted to the belief that the war against Hitler could be won from the air by almost daily raids upon Ger many and other Hitler strong holds. There is already a rush on the part of many young men to join the air forces, in preference to going into the Army or Navy. Latest figures of the U. S.
