FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION ? What factors
should 1 consider in locating my
kitchen?
ANSWER ? Many people think
that the proper place for a kitchen
is in the back part of the house.
Convenience and comfort, not cus
tom, should be the deciding fac

the kitchen on the house plan.
Many other house-hold and farm
tasks must be carried on while
the homemaker is cooking. Locate
the kitchen so that other household
tasks can be neatly fitted together.
The location of the kitc&en, in re
lation to the oth^r^ rooms in the
house, is a part o^ the plan for a*
step-saving layouts^

Santa In Person
Visits Dillsboro
More than three hundred child
ren and adults witnessed the
turning on of the lights of a beau
tifully decorated community
Christmas tree in Dillsboro on
December 19 after closing of the
schools for the Christmas holi
days.
The enthusiasm and apprecia
tion of the children warmed the
hearts of those who had helped
in any way to make this treat pos
sible.
Before the arrival of Santa Mr.
Claude Campbell played over a
loud speaker Christmas carols
which always awaken the Christ
mas sprit in all of us. This was
followed by the reading of the
Scripture by Rev. Mr. Grigg, who
also offered prayer and made a
short talk on Christmas.
Mr. W. H. Crawford, principal
of the Sylva high school, made a
talk in which he stated that thcf
enthusiasm and fine spirit of tha
children had touched his heart.
Preceeding Santa came the
Sylva high school band of twenta
pieces on a beautifully decorated
float playing a Christmas carol.
Then midst shouts of delight from
the children which made the verjr
hills ring came Old Santa dressed
in his traditional red suit on a
float . o f Christmas green
loaded with gaily decorated bask
ets filled With all kinds of fruits
and other good things for the boys
and girls. He made his way to a
parking place near the tree to dis
tribute his gifts. He was so de
lighted with the warm reception
given him at Dillsboro's first
community Christmas tree that he
hopes to return again.
