It . has been a busy season and we have sincerely tried to do a good Job and we hope you have enjoyed our paper. .. : , For you ladies who are in' such a rush now, I learned a new wrink le for cooking a turkey the easy way. I was in Rich Square visiting my sister last week end and wat ched her cook about a 15 pound turkey this way. Believe you me I went to the table with misgivings, prepared for anything and had myt U M-MJ A. ,lnBU . ,V.ni ! mouth primped to insist that it was delicious when to my ama zemnet IT WAS one of the best turkeys I have ever tasted not dry-one bit. Here goes - salt, the turkey in the inside cavity, ,mb lightly with the fat of your choice, sprinkle slightly with flour . and put about two cups Of water in the bottom of the roaster. Cover with close fitting roaster lid, and put in preheated oven at 500 degrees. Let cook for one hour, cut off the stove, DO NOT open the oven, and leave until the next morning. Do hot stuff turkey I do not believe a small turkey could stand that much-neat. But if you try It and your turkey is not good, don't blame me,, because I know the one she cooked was delicious.

A period of 78 hours - in .North Carolina, one person every three hours And one Of the greatest tragedies is that death is not' always the worst thing that can happenVto one. During the 1959 season. In North Carolina, 323 persons were injured in the 701 accidents. How many of those 323 persons have been left in such a pitiful condition, that death might have been merciful? Our Highway Patrol will do what they can to help us on the high ways, but what can they do after the scream of the ' brakes,' the crash of metal, and the screaming cries of agony -not much except try to make order out of chaos..
