Please excuse me while 1 brag
a little. Over in Italy the young
est son has named his new Mus
tang plane for me. Not Bessie,
which would sound both sentimen
tal and silly, but Bee. the nick
name my husband gave me years
ago. So now I fly with Barrie ‘in
name as well as in spirit.
Because my husband has found
that apple sauce sweetened with
Karo sirup is very good, he insists
that I tell once more how we make
it.
The apples are cut up, peelings
and cores, if sound, and cooked as
rapidly as possible until soft. Then
they are run through a colander
and the pulp is sweetened to taste
and cooked a little longer. If for
winter use, seal it in jars while hot
and process the jars a few min
utes. ll for eating at once ,add a
little nutmeg, cinnamon, or both,
if you like added flavor. It de
pends on the apples used.
reasons and excuses given for not
helping with the work at the Red
Cross sewing room; but to date
the queerest was one lady’s plea
that it hurt her so to think of our
boys being wounded and suffer
ing she couldn’l bear to make ban
dages. Fortunately, not all are
that tenderhearted.
Funniest reason for choice of a
day to work was given by a young
housekeeper who believed she’d
prefer Friday morning. By that
time, she said, she has always
cooked everything she could think
of for dinners and they invariably
have sandwiches on Fridays.
For sustained interest as a home
project there’s nothing that equals
a baby; but a young orchard can
run a close second, particularly a
young peach orchard.
First you have the selecting of
trees with anxiety as to the date of
delivery, the best time and meth
ods of planting; then a new an
xiety as to whether the trees will
go through their first and second
summers. Some don't. There is
much studying to be done that
proper decisions may be made as
to sprays and their application,
remembering that wrong solutions
can do much more harm than
good. Pruning is an art in itself.
And, if you go in for hunting, arm
yourself with a sharp, pointed
knife and search out the borers
that live for the sole purpose of
killing your trees. They can be
largely kept away by scientific
treatment; but, if you see those
gobs of gluey gum on the body of
a tree, don't substitute it for
chewing-gum as we used to do
when children. Recognize it as
the danger signal of damage al
ready done, dig out the wicked
looking borer and kill him or her.
Watch out, too, for cats that cut
long gashes on your trees while
“sharpening their claws.” Rabbits
and mice are also to be guarded
against.
Finally, when the trees are old
enough to bear, there’s the worry
over frost. If fruit sets, you can
worry about whether it will fall
off before ripening. You can
watch a little later to see if your
trees wull provide the succession
of fruit you had hoped and plan
ned for. And you can keep the
dread of hail in the back of your
mind all summer, with an added
twinge if branches are laden with
peaches and threaten to break.
They have away of splitting while
your back is turned.
You can put in a good bit of
time selecting the peaches to be
picked first as each little tree rip
ens its burden.
And you can enjoy the naive re
marks of friends who tell you how
lucky you are to have peaches at
home. It isn’t all luck, but it’s
fine.

15th AAF IN ITALY. Sec
ond Lieutenant Barrie S. Davis,
Zebulon, N. C„ 15th AAF P-51
Mustang fighter pilot, is present
ed the Air Medal by Lt. Colonel
Chester L. Sluder, San Antonio,.
A SOLDIER S VIEWPOINT
In a letter from a pilot on the j
Italian front we take this: “I get
a laugh when I read reports from I
the States saying the Luftwaffe is
no more—or that it's no power to
be reckoned with. I’ll believe that :
when we stop losing planes and
men to the German fighters. Yep. |
it's a bitter laugh and I hope that
folks over there don’t get the idea
that missions over Germany are
just pleasure jaunts. Seems to me
that if a man has a whole arsenal
of guns and loses all but a few, he
is still dangerous and still to be
reckoned with. And the Jerries
have more than a few planes in
their air force . . . and every pilot
they have thinks Germany is win
ning the war. I wish the papers
would print that.”

Barning Begins
First presage of fall in this sec
tion is barning tobacco, and this
has begun, some farmers putting
in curings last week. From now
until the crop is all housed there
will be scant let-up in the rush.
It is too early to tell definitely
the quality of cured tobacco and
only warehouse openings decide its
price.

I ment try one of our new books,
, some of which are listed below.
We guarantee that they will help
any case of wartime jitters.
This Little Pig Stayed Home, by
Willie Snow Etheridge. As a
member of the home front Mrs
' Etheridge has, like most of us,
battled with furnaces, coped with
luck of oil, bond drives, aid to
Russia, ration cards, and a thou
sand other things that beset the
life ol a civilian. In her book she
gives an amusing account of these
things and of her family, all of
whom are affected by the war.
Lebanon, by Carolyn Miller
Georgia in the 1800’s is the back
ground of Lebanon Fairgale, who
could shoot a squirrel out of a tree
with a musket and who felt at
home in a flugout in the cypress
swamps. But of men and love
she knew nothing until she met
Sabastian Ratcliffe.
A Bell for Adano, by John Hor
sey. This book is about an Itali
an-American major who was put
in charge of an Italian town. He
had to fight prejudice, red tape
and quislings, but succeeded in re
building the town. The thing that
really endeared him to the Italians
was the restoration of an ancient
bell which the Fascists had taken
to make gun barrels.
Leave Her to Heaven, by Ben
Ames Williams. This book has as
its main character an unusual and
i extraordinary woman, possessed of
rare beauty. Marriage brings out
hidden traits of her personality
and reveals her as jealous and pos
sessive, even to the point of mur
der.

Red Cross Sewing
A new supply of khaki kits for
soldiers has been received at the
! sewing room and there is an abun
dance of bandage material on
hand. Helpers are urgently asked
to be present on Tuesdays and
Fridays. Those who do not sew
i w ill find other work waiting and
it is hoped that full cooperation
may be had in the effort to do the
w’ork asked for by the county
[ chapter.
More than 500 bondages and
nearly 200 kits have already been
made here, but the need for work
ers is as great as ever. The work
must go on till the war is over.
Recently cards were sent with
the request that all who work for
the Red Cross file their names
with the number of hours given.
To date the list includes names of
Mesdames L. G. Faulkner, J. E.

Those who worked before the
; cards were sent and who have not
been back since they were receiv
ed are not on this list, but it is
hoped they will register in order
that a permanent and complete
record may be had.
Recorders Court
Sullev Bailey, who seems to
have established a habit of sorts in
coming to town to celebrate, was
iup again before the local Record
i er’s Court for the habit he can’t
(or won’t) break. The judgment
|of the court this time was: 6
months on the roads, which was
suspended on payment of $25.00
and costs.
Hoyt Brookington, colored, got
drunk, got caught, got 30 days on
the roads, but being sort of new
at it. the judge scared him with
30 days o. r. t. and then suspended
the penalty on payment of costs.
Dewey Baker was accused of
house-breaking, fled the court,
and a capias was issued to bring
him in.
Loomis Carpenter runs a pic
colo place out next -to the colored
school. He often has company,
sometimes "a right smart crowd.
Henry Jenkins, about half and
half, visited Loomis’ place, pulled
a gun, the crowd was not there.
The law said: Assault, $50.00 and
all the court costs.
Millard Jones, Will Braxton and
James Wall, white boys, seem to
luive needed gas, saw a school bus
j which uses gas, but no gas! The
court established that they went
where they ought not, called it
larceny instead of trespassing. If
they are good for two years, re
port to the court every three
months, and pay all the costs, they
will be counted nice boys.
S. G. Bunn and his wife seem to
have their differences, even if
not like most married folks. He
went to a neighbor’s house (this is
where he made the mistake)
where his wife was, and so con
ducted himself in words and ac
tions .that the man of that house
had him haled to court. Result:
6 months to the roads, which sen
tence was suspended on condition
‘he pay the costs and walk cir
j curnspectly through two long
; years.
j * A litle story from real life: On
a recent Sunday two colored boys
i met together. They had a Model
A Ford. They went aridin’, and
{that bad car took them to where
bootleg liquor was loafing around
waiting to get just anybody in
trouble. The boys took up a gal
lon of this joy maker and got
ready to keep the Sabbath in their
own way. But woe, shortly they
met the law known as Sheriff
