Natural and process cheeses,
cheese foods and spreads
Each cheese label tells you
what kind it is. Here is what
these four mean:
Natural cheese is just what its
name suggests. After the cheese
is made, it's put away to age, or
ripen, by itself. Flavors range
from rruld to sharp.
Pasteurized process cheese
blends fresh and aged natural
cheeses that have been
shredded and heated
(pasteurized) to stop any fur
ther ripening. Buy it sliced, in
transparent envelopes, or in
blocks, or in 4 to 2 pound
loaves. Popular-priced, it is
perfect for cooking or sand
wiches. Pasteurized process cheese
food, made the same way as
process cheese, has non-fat dry
milk added. It is milder, softer,
spreads more easily, and melts
faster than process cheese.
Look for it packaged as slices,
rolls, or links, and loaves. All in
all, this is one of your best
cheese buys.
Pasteurized process cheese
spread is similar to process
cheese food, but spreads more
easily because it contains more
Security
or Liberty
Two words. One is strange
and unlike America. That word
is Security. The other word is
America itself. That word is
Liberty.
Security as it is used today is
an illusion which leads to en
slavement. Liberty exalts
manking.
Security is a dead-end street.
Liberty is the path of wonderful
advanture.
Security is decay. Liberty is
growth
Security is the death of effort.
Liberty is the life of endeavor.
Security is the man of 40 who
is 65. Liberty is the man of 65
who is 40.
Security is of little faith.
Liberty is the immortality of
earth and heaven.
Security is the frown of
bookkeeping. Liberty is the
smile of confidence.
Security promises much and
delivers a pittance. Liberty
promises nothing and yields a
harvest of plenty.
Security is the mirage of
minds that settle for guar
dianship. Liberty is the mind
that lives above the crowd.
Security dwarfs the soul.
Liberty is the Shekinah.
Security is the foul air of lost
hopes. Liberty is the fesh air of
Spiritual Light.
Security lies in a marble
vault. Liberty lives in the
Sunlight of today.
Security is the object that
holds our attention while
Liberty slips from our grasp.

When you buy cheese

perishable. Buy often and only

Shop the cheese department
ca.efully, for prices vary.
Points to remember are: (1)
Largest packages are usually
your thriftiest buys. (2) Aged
cheese is highest in price. And
(3), packaged sliced, shredded,
cubed, and grated cheese cost a
bit more, but are so worth the
convenience.
When you store cheese
Keep cheese chilled, the
same as milk.
Use soft cheeses-cottage
cream, process cheese foods
and spreads within a week, for
they are most perishable.
Natural cheeses will keep for
weeks if left in their original
wrapper, or rewrapped tightly.
Freeze cheese only If you
must, for cheese loses flavor
and becomes crumbly if frozen.

Red Cross Branch
Perhaps the most enthusiastic American Red
Cross meeting ever held in Madison County was held
in the French Broad EMC lobby last Thursday night.
A total of 54 persons attended, 51 from Madison
County.
The urgency of last week's meeting was stressed
at a previous meeting when it was evident that the
Madison County Branch of the Asheville Area
Chapter was in deep trouble. Fund drives for the
past few years had fallen short of expectations and
the lack of additional volunteer help to assist the few
faithful leaders was shocking. Too, there was not
enough participation throughout the county to
continue the current programs. It was clearly a case
of our citizens showing enough interest in Red Cross
to continue or to discontinue the local Branch.
Local news media went to bat publicizing the
status and the importance of Red Cross to our
citizens. The vital Blood Program and the service to
military familiees were especially stressed. The few
w ho attended the meeting about a month ago started
alerting the people of the danger of losing Red Cross.
As a result, 51 Madison County citizens were
present for the "do or die'' meeting last Thursday
night.
The Hot Springs area, including Spring Creek,
Meadow Fork, etc., was represented by 22 persons.
The Marshall area had 14 in attendance and the
Laurel Area, backed by the Laurel Rutitan Club, had
13 present. MarsHill, 1 ; and Ebbs Chapel, 1. Also in
attendance solidly backing the Red Cross were
several members of the Beta Omega Chapter of
Epsilon Sigma Alpha Sorority.
It was most gratifying to see the interest of the
people for the continuation of Red Cross services in
the county.
It was voted to reorganize and to elect directors to
the Madison County Branch. It was pointed out that
some of the directors previously elected were faith
ful and kept the program going but at the same time,
other members of the board had seldom or never
attended a board meeting. "If we are to have a
successful Red Cross unit in the county it is essential
that a board of directors must be interested and
attend and promote the cause", one official said.
Elsewhere in this issue is a news story concerning
the business session and its actions.
This newspaper wishes to thank the past leaders
and others who have assisted in keeping Red Cross
"alive" in our county and we also wish to commend
the fine people who attended the meeting last
Thursday. It is evident that Red Cross is still very
much alive. All programs are continuing.
To the newly elected directors and officers, we
wish for them success knowing full well, howevad.
that they alone cannot do it all. We urge everyone in
all sections of our fine county to volunteer and assist
these leaders. They need YOU!
I f
Shear, don't skip
the sheep
By PAUL HARVEY
Congress will return to be greeted by a White House council
recommendation for a "tax on pulluters."
It sounds logical that those who pollute most should be taxed
most but watch It; industries don't, we do.
Instant experts, demanding a quick and simple solution to
complicated ecological problems, may discredit their mission
and retard a cleanup.
Industry is their primary target but
industry is not our primary polluter.
Manufacturing activities contribute
less than 20 per cent of total air
pollution, a minute fraction of total
water pollution.
Most water pollution comes from
municipal, recreational, agricultural
and natural sources most of it from
drainage, erosion, and siltation.
On balance, industry is doing more
than its share of cleanup, is spending
$3.6 billion this year on new pollution control facilities. Thus in
dustry is imposing a substantial "tax" on itself.
Part of the misplaced news emphasis results from the fact that
smoke is more conspicuous than the absence of it.
American industries already have allocated $18 billion to be
spent over the next five years to help clean up their 20 per cent of
the problem. What are the rest of us doing about our 80 per cent?
The simplistic industry indictment may boomerang. We may
zero in on industrial pollution with mandatory deadlines while
ignoring pollution by municipalities, agriculture and the public
to discover that our problem five years from now is worse than
ever.
Some of us jumped on photographs taken by Gemini 12
spacemen as evidence that a Four-Corners power plan in north
west New Mexico was spewing smoke for 200 miles downwind.
Subsequent study of those photographs revealed that the
"smoke plume" was more likely a cirrus cloud.
Factually, the unjustly indicted facility is spending $38.5 million
to meet or exceed state emission standards.
This is not an effort to whitewash industry; I hope Washington
and the states and an aroused citizenry keep the pressure on.
But laws against detergent phosphates, for example, might lead
too many to relax in the assurance that our streams will be
potable in no time. The fact is that nutrients, including
phosphates, continue to flow into our rivers and lakes from
agricultural and natural sources, some of which cannot be con
trolled. And further, some of those hurry-up phosphate substitutes may
prove even more harmful.
A long-range cleanup calls for long-range planning, starting
with the worst first. It will be tedious, it will be expensive and it
will not be expedited by overrunning our headlights.
