PAGE TWO THE FRANKLIN PRESS FRIDAY, JULY 31, 132S ivingf rut liinea u MAIN STREET HILL TO BE CONCRETED The town board has let a contract to Wilson Construction company to pave the hill on East Main street with concrete 18 feet wide. Attractive terms we're offered by Mr. Wilson since he has his machinery' on the ground. EPISCOPAL LADIES TO HOLD BAZAAR TUESDAY, AUG. 4th n reas Earthen jars partly filled with peas found in Egyptian tombs prove this to be one" of the oldest vegetables known. IF the pea were a Chinese vege table, it would be revered for its age, It is one of the oldest of all our vegetables, and in some ways an aristocrat. Maybe Adam and Eve had peas in the Garden oi Eden. Tradition has it that peas were first brought into Europe from the mysterious mountain regions of India, but the seed has been found in Egyptian tombs. Probably King ' Tut was fond of peas and some seeds were placed with him to plant in the other world when he arrived. 'Stories are told . of peas found in Egyptian tombs taking root and sprouting after thousands of years, lut they are yet to be 'proved. ; Peas Found in "Ruins of Troy Back in the middle ages when. SchJiemann, the perman archaeolo gist, discovered .the ruins of the ' Grecian- city of Troy ,v, he ' found earthen jars partly filled with dried peas as they had been left 3000 years ''before.'1 The story runs that he had : these peas cooked and fed his army ' iof workers on them. Had the art of canning been known at that time ; we might now have a few cans to :.! prove, the tale. Canned foods keep indefinitely if not forever. Many a tanner has cans of food put up by his father or grandfather years ago. ' .. , Modern Methods . . ; jVere it' riot for the camiers, and for, American machinery that shells peas from the vines without pick ing. Rrctp peas woti'd still be a great fuxuryrfof the moneyed aristoc racy only, One. can would cost from seventy-five cents to a dollar, where as thev now nctmllv cost from fifteen to twenty-five cents. Green peas can be enjoyed at their best only if eaten within a few. hours after gathering from the vines. For this reason the canned peas passed from the vine to the can in an in-, credibly short time are usually, pre ferred for their fine flavor and deli cacy. When you want something cold and delicious , on a hot 'day try a pea aspic. Take one can of peas, a small' onion,' a sprig of parsley, Jine-half tablespoon of salt, jwp hard boiled eggs, a . stalk of 'celery, an envelope of gelatine and . a little paprika. Heat the peas in their own liquor with the onion, celery! -...-l' t, I CL - A., J .t -A uhu yaisicy muppeu line, nua me salt. Rub through a sieve, and bring to the boiling point. . Dis solve the gelatine in the liquor, and add the paprika. Wet a mold pan, line with slices of the eggs', pour the peas in, and when cold and firm cut in cubes and serve on crisp let tuce leaves. .. How To Cook Peas When cooking peas . purchased fresh in the market, the housewife ndtices they are of different sizes, while the canned peas are all of uni form size. The reason for this, is that the canned peas are sorted ac cording to size , before they are cooked.' They are graded from the ' "petit pois" or tiny . French pea to ',. the F.arly June variety which are ' nert to the largest and which are known as "No. 5," though there is i a still larger variety o later grown peas knownas the "telephone." One of the ranners. bv the way, has translated the "petit pois" to mean "petted peas" because they are such favorites. . ' Canners are much more particular about removing the gummy coating that covers all peas than , is the housewife. After the peas are sort ed they are parboiled or blanched, and the boiling water in which they are .blanched is changed several times, even though the peas are in it but three minutes at most, to remove all the' gummy substance, or "fife starch" as it is more techni cally known. The peas are then cooked in' a brine made of water, sugar and sail This brine should not be thrown away by the house wife when serving canned peas as it ' makes excellent stock for soup. The peas should always be heated in their own brine. Salad Made of Peas Green peas make excellent salads and sandwich fillings combined with cream cheese and onion, walnuts and tpples, and walnuts and celery. To make the cream cheese and onion salad combination, use 1 can of peas, 2 tablespoonsful chopped onion, 4 tablespoonsful cream cheese, grated; 4 tablespoonsful sweet pickle, let tuce and salad dressing. Mix ths cheese, pickles and peas, add the salad dressing and. serve on lettuce leaves. , . For the sandwich filling try 1 can peas, with l2 cup chopped walnuts. J4cup chopped celery, and mayon naise. Jlcat the peas in their own liquor, drain andmash until smooth. Add" the walnuts and celery and enough mayonnaise to moisten. Spread on praham bread. , Important Highway Henderson county is in spirit but , -not in mind ready to give credit to highway No. 28!for the influence she will have upon travel that will find its '. .way into this county on this scenic road. i Probably at no time in the history of road building in Western North "Carolina has a rnore representative gathering from five counties been seen " that was in evidence at High Ham pton at Cashiefs, Jackson county, Thursday. -, This means that . Highway 28, when finished, will have on important bear ing upon travel in six western coun ties and Hendefson county will come ' in for her full share. -, Highway 28 intersects the Wilming-ton-Charlotte-Asheville highway . at , Bat Cove. This end of the highway has important connections with the great Piedmont section. The other end will empty its traffic into Georgia ,, and Tennessee, through Murphy as an extreme point in Western Carolina. Highway 28 will traverse some of the most fertile and some of the most V scenic sections' in North Carolina. It . begins on Broad river at Bat Cove ',, where the scenic wonders in the Hickory Nut Gap. and Chimney Rock country are far-famed. It follows "the French Broad valley for about 25 miles, passes what was Lake Toxa way and takes a course along the beautiful Horse Pasture creek with its charming water falls, penetrates ,the famous Saphire and Lake Fair field country. The beauties of Cash iers valley, known for and wide, lie before the traveler as Chimney Top, Mt. Toxaway and Whitesides tower high- up in the heavens. Around Highlands and' Franklin in Macon county is much of beauty to be seen, and Clay county, leveled down a little more than the other counties and lending herseif beauti fully to agriculture and fruitgrowing in the famous Thermal belt, spreads - herself gracefully before the traveler , as he journeys on into Cherokee, the most western" bounty irf tjje state There the road intersects 'wjth High way No. 10, which traverses North Carolina from that point to the sea shore. From there No. 28 goes on to the Tennessee line and pours her traf fic into the state to the west. Aside from what the development of this highway will mean directly to the counties of Henderson, Transyl vania, Jackson.'Macon, Clay and Cher okee in closer connection with each other there is a tourist aspect that canhot be properly estimated in its fullest value. For a one or two day scenic tour nothing anywhere in the great Appalachian range can possible surpass it because there is a variety of scenery to be enjoyed as one covers the distance from Henersonville to Murphy over No. 28 and loops back to this city by way of Andrews, Bry son City, Sylva, Waynes ville and Ashe villc. With the rOads in their present ifti perfect condition, a fine one-day journey can be had by leaving Hen dcrsonville for Cashiers valley, re turning by way of Sylva down the Tuckaseegee river," Waynesville " and Asheville. Some day not far hence N. 28 will be an object of pride and she will prove a vast blessing to the six North Carolina counties she will traverse and I can .picture jio one county to which k can mean more and. into which it will pour out greater wealth than Henderson county, feeding her from the properous Piedmont to the east and South Carolina and 'Georgia to the South and Tennessee, to the West. Keep an eye' on 28. Editorial in The Hendersqnville News. , Coming The southern division of the Macon ounty singing convention will -meet with the Pine Grpve Baptist church August the 8 and 9.

" SLAGLE GOES TO ASHEVILLE Last week end Mr. A. B. Slagle, one of the county commissioners, made a trip to Asheville to consult with Mr. Stikeleather relative to Highway No. 28. Mutual arrangements were made whereby work will start on this high way toward Hayesville and toward Highlands within the near . future. All the county commissioners are highly in favor of this work and are leaving no stone unturned to expedite matters. The commissioners are har moniously working together for the best interest of the county. J. T. BLALOCK UNFOUNDED RUMORS The report has been circulated to some extent that there would be an admission charge at the Truett-Mc-Connell meeting. How far such re port is current, we cannot say. Noth ing could be (farther from the truth. It is adsurd and 'rediculous on the face of, it; If you hear it please stop it, nail it down and clinch the nail, There .will, be no remission charge, u.vety;h'ii!g, as far as the meeting" is concerned will be free ABSOLUTE LY FREE! , " A. J SMITH. Mr. J. T. Blalock, 85, of Barnesville, Ga., died suddenly of heart failure in his apartment at the Franklin Ter race, Thursday' morning at 1:00 o clock. His widow survives him; For many years Mr. and Mrs. Bla lock had been spending their summers in Franklin. It is duobtful whether any other visitors to our little town have had so many warm personal friends. In the death of Mr. Blalock Franklin feels a keen personal loss and extends to his devoted companion tie tenderest sympathy. The remains were carried to Barnes ville 'Thursday for interment. The St. Agnes Guild of the Episco pal church will hold its annual bazaar Tuesday, August 4th, beginning at ten o'clock. The prices' on every ar ticle will be reasonable, and you may rest , assured you will receive value for your money. Last year at the bazaar many patrons told that they received more than value for their money and that we priced things too reasonably. We had rather err on that side than on the other. Do not forget the date, Tuesday,- August 4th, at the home of Rev. and Mrs. E. J. Pines, beginning at ten o'clock. OLD BUILDINGS From time to time the question of repairing old buildings in the fire limits comes before the town board. . Ii some instances repairs have been per mitted while in others this permission has not Jbeen granted. Ancient and 'dilpitaded wooden buildings in the fire limits are not only unsightly but .they constitute hazardous fire traps. The sooner Franklin gets . rid of such huildings the better- it will be for the town. ' . - Beautify the school grounds. WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA FARMS SUFFER DAMAGE AIL of Western North Carolina is suffering from lack of precipitation and a good slow rain would mean millions of dollars to the farmers, ac cording to news brought back to Asheville Saturday by leaders of the Farmers federation, who have just at tended a series of meetings in the ex treme western part of the state. The crops are parched and if it docs not rain in a short time, they will be practically ruined, it is stated. In Franklin, despite the drought,, the county seaat of Macon county is en joying the largest tourist season in its history. 'Persons arc being turned away daily for the lack. of hotel ac commodations. As the power of , the town is furnished from mountain streams, street lights are. being cur tailed at night because Of the lack of water . and the washing of automo biles is being prohibited temporarily. --Ashevilk- Times. .
