OF USEFUL GIFTS
Needs of Thrifty Shoppers
Given Consideration by
Weil-Known Firm
The needs of the thrifty ai*d wise
Christmas shoppers are foremost in
the minds of the Messrs. Margolis
Bros., for last week they sent a repre
sentative to the northern markets to
select and buy the latest in Christmas
gifts and goods.
Mr. Frank, J. Margolis, the repre
sentative, returned this week and stat
ed that large shipments would be made
at once, and that the- store's patrons
would have an enormous display of
goods to choose their gifts from.
RAISING LIVING
STANDARDS ON
•FARM IS URGED
Water, Light, and Heat Are
Great Savers of Time
And Energy
Raleigh. Dec. 2 —"lie greatest sav
ers of time and energy' for the farm
housewife of North Carolina would be
the establishment of running water,
electric light current, and heating sys
tems in the farm homes of the State.
"If we could place just these three
things in every home in North Car
olina. we would see the standard of
living rise so fast, it would be diffi
cult to catch its skirts as it passed
by," says Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon,
assistant director of extension at State
College "These are the greatest time
savers that could be bestowed'on the
housewife. Work is reduced tremen
dously when there ir water in the
house. No useless trotting to pumps
or hydrants and back again doiens of
times daily, and no extra steps in dis
posing of waste water."
Thirty-three per cent of 40,000 coun
try women recently reported htat they
had water piped to their kitchens, and
47 per cent stated that they had it on
the back porch. This is the average
for the whole country, states Mrs. Mc-
Kimmon, but North Carolina does not
do so of 51H farm homes in
this State, where an inventory was
made, only one-third had a supply of
■water available at the house, and less
than one-fifth of the 518 had water
piped into the kitchen and a sink in
stalled.'
The record of farm lighting plants
is better', she states. Nearly all of the
518 home had such plants, and the
State is up to the average in this re
spect, but each rural home should
have tliis power.
When it comes lo heating plants,
most country homes are heated by
wood-burning fireplaces or stoves. Few
homes have furnatcs. Less than 2 per
cent of the homes in the small vil
lages are so equipped. Ihe furnace
saves much labor and gives a more
uniform heat over the whole house.
It "also helps to keep down sickness.

ADD TO PLANT
OF CHEVROLET
Take Over $4,500,000 Iron
Foundry to Make
Castings
W. S. Knudsen, president of the
Chevrolet Motor Co., today announces
that Chevrolet has taken over the mam
moth gray iron foundry of the Sagi
naw Products Co., at Saginaw, Mich.
The newest plant acquisition of the
Chevrolet Motor Company adds a $4,-
500,000 institution to the company's
rapidly developing manufacturing op
erations and provides Chevrolet with
foundry facilities second to none in the
industry.
Mr. Knudsen recently completed an
inspection tour of Chevrolet plants in
Detroit, Flint, Toledo, Saginaw, Buf
falo, Tarrytown, and Bloomfield, and
points out that the acquisition ,ol
Saginaw plant brings Chevrolet manu
facturing facilities to the highest point
of completeness and efficiency yet at
tained. '
After the first of December the
inaw foundry will be devoted excjju r
sively to the pouring of Chevrolet,
castings. A new conveyor system and
other labor-saving devices, in
stalled, give the plant a melting ca
pacity of 800 tons of metal daily and
make it one oi the most up-to-date
foundries in the world.
Outstanding among the features of
the large plant is the ingenuity with
which machines have been made to per
form the vast biU.k of foundry work.
.Specially designed mechanical convey
ors shoulder practically all heavy bur
dens. Core manufacture, assembly,
and* baking, the charging and discharg
ing of the immense cupolas, the pour
ing of molten metal, and the cooling,
cleaning, and finishing of castings all
rely upon machinery more than ever.
Human effort has been reduced to a
minimum, resulting in increased capac
ity and a higher factor of safety.
Buildings are of brick and steel con
struction and allow for 300,000 square
feet of flout space. The plant em
ploys 3OQO people when operating on
a capacity basis. Arnold Lenz, one
of the foremost foundry expert* in the
country, is in general charge.
Cooking Pork Products;
Should Be Well Done
All pork and pork products should
be thoroughly cooked, not only on
the outside, but entirely through, to
prevent the possibility of their causing
the disease known as trichinosis. Have
pork chops cuf, medium thick and af
ter browning them on the outside, cook
olowly and longer than other chops.
■Make sausage meat into flat cakes
rather than "balls," which are thicker
in the center, and .then they will copk
evenly throughout. Sear a pork roast
at a high temperature to retain the
meat juices, and then lower the heat
and cook at a moderate temperature
until all kinkness at the center has dis
appeared. Ham and other cured pork
products also require thorough cook-

Many Women Do Sewing
Because They Enjoy It
Although the opportunities for buy
ing attractive ready-to-wear garments
are constantly increasing, a large num
ber of women are doing much off the
family sewing at home. In connection
with a recent survey of the preserit
trends in home sewing, a surprising
number said that thev sewed because
they enjoyed doing so, and not especi
ally because they expected to save
money.
