Note the rationed commodities and the restrictions on supplies for civilians. Of particular interest is that section of the chart which shows that between September 1939 and March 1940 one out of every five houses was damaged or destroyed. Dr. Stringfield To Address Woman's Club Meet Today Dr. Thomas Stringfield, who has recently returned from England, where he served with the American Red Cross for one year under the British ministry of health, will address the Woman's Club at the initial meeting to be held today at the home of Mrs. Rufus Allen. Miss Robena Miller will serve as an associate hostess with Mrs. Allen. Mrs. William Hannah, president of the club, will preside. Plans for the coming year's work will be presented at the meeting and all members are urged to be present. Those attending are asked to as semble at 3 o'clock.

Kindergarten Opens Fall Term With 20 Students The Waynesville Kindergarten, which is taught by Mrs. Ernest K. Herman, is located this year in the Central Elementary school. Last year classes were held in the junior high school building on the dis trict high school grounds. Mrs. .Emmett Green, Jr., is as sisting: Mrs. Herman this .term. A special feature of the past week was the "playing" for motion pic tures which were made under the direction of Mrs. R. N. Kalslegard, Jr., of Miami. Twenty children have been en rolled during the first two weeks of the school as follows: Betty Barber, Marguerite Russ, Jacquel ine Berry, Florence Ann Bowles, Doyle Corwin, Bill Crawford, Jane Davenport, Frank Edward, Paul Patsy Jones, Mary Ann Miranda Marsh, Jim my Michaels, Jimmy JNeal, Hill Prevost, Bobby Purcell, Teddy Rogers,, Sydney Stark, John Spark man, III, and Julia Gray Warwick. Youthful visitors who have been attending the kindergarten are: Ann Williamson Prevost. Adora warm clothing be rushed through the mills and over the railroads in time for use this winter.

"But millions of others will then do the same thing! Result? All sweaters will be sold out in a few days and it will be too late to re place them. It is far more pat riotic to buy sweaters now so that stocks can be replaced. The same argument applies to heavy coats, overshoes and warm stockings. For. get high heels and fancy shoes for the winter. Transportation Troubles Ahead " I fear that the average reader of this column has little idea of the changes which are ahead. Re member that 10,000,000 workers, who three years ago were making clothing, shoes, furniture, and simi lar things, have quit this work and are now making ships, airplanes, guns, munitions and other war sup plies. Remember that the rail roads, which three years ago were hauling things for you to eat, wear, and . enjoy, are now over-loaded. Because of the transportation of war supplies, they have little space to transport even sweaters for you while trucks are short of oil and tires. "If all the shoes, clothing, etc., now being made, were available to the people of the United States, it would not be so bad; but they are not. Our fields, factories, and min es must, to a large extent, feed cloth, and fuel Great Britain, Rus sia, China, and other nations in ad dition to. our own people. We are in a bad mess. Economic condi tions will be worse before they are better. I don't believe in hoarding; but I do believe that reasonable advance buying is patriotic and beneficial to all concerned. This includes consumers, merchants, manufacturers, and the transpor tation companies. It especially ap plies to Christmas shopping which should be started now; it even ap plies to "tax-loss" selling. This is one way to avoid panic and con fusion in December." dore Raby, who died at midnight on Saturday at the Haywood Coun ty Hospital, where she had been a patient for sometime. The Rev. J. C. Stevens, pastor, of the church, and the Rev. John Taylor, of Waynesvile and Sebring, Fla., officiated. Burial was in the Ratcliff Cove cemetery. Serving as pallbearers were: Charles Painter, Glenn Painter, J. D. Frady, Jr., Hal Underwood, and Frank Krust. Mrs. Raby was the daughter of Mr. and -Mrs. J. B. Gaddy. She was a member of the Elizabeth Methodist Chapel and was active in the religious and community lite oi Katciiff (Jove. She was married to William Theodore Raby on January 1, 1935. She and her husband had resided in the Rat cliff Cove section for four years. She had been in ill health for the past year. Surviving are her husband; her parents; three sisters, Mrs, Ruth Goff , of Lynchburg, Va., Mrs. Jack Justice, of Canton, Miss Betty Joe Gaddy, of Waynesville; four "The British are willing to fol low their leaders in opening a second front," Dr. Thomas String field told Rotarians here Friday. He has just returned after spend ing a year as a physician in a hos pital near London. "The people over there just want to be sure that everything is ready before the second front is started, and then they will push to the limit." According to the Waynesville physician, the British feel much better since America got into the war, and also since bombs have started to rain on Germany. They are taking their inconveniences with a smile, and carrying on. There is an acute labor shortage. and in some instances men have been called from the army to work in the mines. Women are doing their part by driving trucks, buses, and serving as conductors on trains. Even some women are under fire, as they act as spotters for gun crews, and some have been killed while serv ing in this capacity. Never once, however, has one quit, when the going got hard, the speaker pointed out. Rationing of food is sufficient for nourishment and morale. Meat is available twice daily, with plenty of vegetables and milk for the workers. Fish is plentiful, and as always, the English have their tea and bread. In discussing the bombings of London, Dr. Stringfield said the Germans tried to hit power houses and railroad stations. They miss ed the power houses, but hit some rail centers. The British clean up after a bombing and very little evidence is left of what happened. All available space is planted in vegetables. Workers in factor brothers, David Gaddy, Turner Gaddy, all of Waynesville and Thomas Gaddy, of Salem, N. J. ries raise 'a vegetable garden after working hours. One frequent question is, "What do the British Think of Ameri cans?" Dr. Stringfield pointed out that the average Englishman failed to understand American criticism of them, when they have been in the war so long, and have fought off the enemy when it looked next te impossible. The average Englishman sees no reason to celebrate as yet, and for that reason, very few flags are flown. There are as many Ameri can flags as there are Union Jacks waving in London, he said. The English are a liberal and kind-hearted people. When news came that a place in Australia had been bombed, the English started at once raising money to send the victims. One' thing that impresses the average visitor to London is that one sees more American soldiers than British. That is because a British soldier must go home on his furlough, and the American soldier has nothing to do but loaf when he is on furlough. London has 50 to 60 barrage balloons over her, as a protection against dive bombers, he said. These have proven very effective against enemy planes that attempt ed to dive at objectives. Dr. Stringfield was presented by W. H. F. Millar, treasurer of the club, and a frequent visitor to England. There were 63 present, and a number came in to hear the speaker. Empty is the gas tank, bare is the old rim. The Japs we can thank until we can better reward them. The mentally bankrupt are usually the ones who spend words most freely. Fuel tanks on one training plane type are now made of wood. CAKE Not "just cake," but the kind you would bake in your own home from quality ma terials.
