This, That & The Other BY Mrs. Theo. B. Davis Oue day this week I gaw an un usual sight. A big jjreeh automo bile was being driven briskly down the street. Nothing remark able about that or that a woman was driving. The odd note was that the driver wore a neat slat ted sunbonnet. Heretofore I asso ciated sunbonnets with horses and I buggies. I have no idea whether this lady was old or young, but I do know she was driving that big car all right. Mr. Cleve . Chamblee told me how to put a blanket of dough on a hen when baking one and it I proved to be a fine idea. But it was my own notion to try adding chopped onion and powdered sage j to the dough. I tucked the hen in carefully under this shortened and seasoned blanket and set it in a slow oven. The covering was basted a few times with the liquid that collected in the bottom of the pan and we ate it in place of dressing. Far less trouble on a Sunday morning and good for a change. Among patterns offered for sale I keep seeing directions for cro cheting an apron. This accessory is said to add glamour to serving tea or party food. It might; but who in the world young enough to go to parties has time these days to sit down and crochet an apron? And elderly persons could put their time to far better use than in working up glamorous aprons. Last week’s work brought a new word to my vocabulary. In reading proof for the school pa per I found that the seventh grade had “accessioned” 331 new books. Using the work as a verb was strange to me; but consulting the new Webster’s Dictionary show ed me my own ignorance w T as at fault, ancf I am indebted to the seventh grade for that item of knowledge. But, correct or not, to speak of a preacher as a pulpiteer sounds bad to me. It has a note of con tempt to my ear; and there are plenty of better words 1o use in speaking of ministers, pastors, parsons, evangelists, rectors,! curates, priests, or whatever they may be. I’d even rather hear a preacher spoken of as Reverend Blank than as a pulpiteer. On the lawn of the C. V. Whit ley home yellow jessamine is blooming gaily. It is the kind that has flowers befor? leaves and it always makes me want to change a little an old line of poetry and ask ‘if jessamine blooms, can spring be far behind? ’ I’m hoping the groundhdog won’t see his shad ow Friday so that winter may be speeded on its way. Not that I don’t enjoy winter; but fuel is too precious for the groundhog to fail in doing his duty. We need an early spring. To me there is something wrong with the picture w'hen little chil dren have to get out of bed be fore sunrise. On Tuesday I came to the shop extra early, the firs' j rays of the sun almost blinding me. And I met children on them way to school. It was 8:15, day light saving time, but did you know that on Tuesday the moon was shining brightly at 7:30? No matter how long we have to use*j It, I still detest setting our clocks so far ahead, especially at this season of the year. Country mothers must have their little ones ready for school buses and the i time we use has the children , • waking too early. New Business Austin Perry’s Store is now lo cated in what was formerly 1 Wakelon Trading Center. The new store carries a line of general merchandise, staple groceries, no tions, etc. The manager already very busw greets customers with a cheerful smile and a word of welcome. See ad in this paper.

Behind Scenes In American Business New York, Jan. 29.—When we come to viewing the war in re trospect, 1945 undoubtedly will stand out as the year of real homefront drought. For the list of acute shortages already being experienced in cluding cigarettes, matches, gas oline, coal and oil, tires, transpor tation equipment, homes, meat, butter, and sugar—is likely to be augmented rather than decreased during the year, according to present indications. .Clothing is expected by obser vers of the production scene to be the next big blight area on the civilian consumption front. Buy- j ers who have come to New York i in recent weeks have returned with but half, and sometimes even less, of their budget for spring merchandise unspent. Men’s shirts, work clothes, sweaters, dresses and pajamas for spring delivery are particularly scarce. Home furnishings supplies aie j expected to approach the vanish ing point as the year unfolds. Rugs, draperies, curtains, uphoi- j stery fabrics, lamps, mattresses, j electrical appliances and low- i priced furniture are among the items said to be fast disappearing from the market. Periscope Sights—A new wrin kle in the glass industry, the ap plication of mass production j methods used in making plate! glass for store windows, automo biles, etc., to the manufacture of nrisms with high optical proper ties is contributing to the saving of lives of American tank crews, j The prisms are used in peri scope-tpye sights for aiming guns out of the top of tanks, thus do ing away with the necessity of our fighting men exposing themselves 1 tc enemy gunfire. More than one million of these precision prisms were produced in 1944 by Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company, compared will output of 328,000 prisms the year before. Company officials attribu ted this notable increase to the perfection of their mass produc tion method and to the develop ment of rapid fool-proof inspec tion machines “manned” by women. Color Dynamics—A relatively now development in the science of factory operation is the use of the paint brush to boost production. It sounds unbelievable that mere ly by painting a machine red and the surrounding walls, tables and other equipment in harmonizing colors a worker can get more out of that machine. Such has proven to be the case, though, in Consolidated Vultee j Aircraft Corporation’s San Diego nlant where the machines look like huge, brightly painted toys. P’g moss-green drop hammers, for example, are designed with delicate fleshtinted fittings and gay carmine plugs. The reasons assigned bv psychologists for the phenomenon of boosting produc tion by abolition of gloomy hues are that it reduces eve- strain and relieves nervous tension. This ; s the science of color dynamics and we are likehv to hear a lot more about it in the future No one would ever love his neighbor as himself if he /listened to all the “buts*’ that qould ue said.—Bulwer-Lytton Carolina Power Cooperates In 'Brown-Out' The Carolina Power and Light Company will cooperate fully in the War Production Board “Brown-out” Order, which be comes effective February 1, said Mr. Ralph W. Talton, district manager of the Company. The order has been issued to help stretch the nation’s coal supply, which had reached such a low point that on December 1 there was only a 39-day supply on hand. The supply is now proba bly shorter than that. Mr. Talton said he had no in formation as to how much coal the “brown-out” would save in the Carolinas, but it is estimated, at 2,000,000 tons per year for the entire nation. Lighting restrictions will cost the utility companies in the nation between S6O and SBO million loss in gross revenue. “The Carolina Power and Light Company makes most of its power from water,” Mr. Talton said, little coal will be saved here. However, the company’s lines are connected with other electric com panies that make a large portion of their electricity with coal. Our excess water power is sent over those lines to help other compan ies save. Thus, we are helping others save, and in that way are contributing to the effort. The “Brown-out” order will re main in effect as long as there is insufficient coal to meet consum er needs. The WBP order lists seven types of electric illumination ! which must be extinguished, as ! follows: Outdoor advertising and out door promotional lighting. Show window lighting, except where necessary fox interior illu mination. Marquee lighting in excess of I 60 vatts for each marquee. White way street lighting ex : cess of that “determined by local public authority to be necessary ‘ for public safety.” The order does not apply to ! electricity used strictly for resi dential purposes. Willful failure to comply with the ruling may result in the dis continuance of all electric service, ,or jail or fines, the order states.
