svvep:t potatoes or yams?
There are two main types of
sweet potatoes on the market —
dry and moist. The soft moist va-
rielies grown and preferred in the
South are called “yams.” “Yams”
range in color from j^cllow to red-
dish-orange and become sugary-
“yam” varieties are Porto Rico and
Gold Rush. The dry type sweet
potatoes have mealy yellow flesh
such as the Big Stem Jersey.
WHEN TO BUY
During harvest season—“green;”
or “uncured” sweet potatoes are
in abundant supply and may be j
flavored when cooked. Common purchased at reasonable prices. |
Curing and storing make sweet
potatoes available most of the year.'
Curing, storing and shrinkage costs
usually result in higher prices to
consumers later on.
WHY BUY
Sweet potatoes arc a bargain in
food value! The deep yellow ones
arc a gold mine in vitamin A —
helps prevent colds by keeping the
linings of the mouth, nose and
throat moist and healthy. Sweet
potatoes are also a good source of
vitamin C — so important for
strong blood vessels and healthy
gums. i

The setting up of a store “where
anybody can hold his head up to
go shopping” has been the objec
tive of the organizers of the Cha
pel Hill Parent-Teacher Associa
tion’s Thrift Shop.
Located in the Scarborough
'Building near Hospital Saving on
West Franklin Street, the Shop now
has over 5,000 items of merchan
dise and draws regular customers
from white and Negro residents
alike in this community and from
as far away as Sanford, Durham,
and Hillsboro. Mrs. Oscar Ray is
in charge of the Shop, now in
its second year under PTA spon
sorship.
Through its sales a profit of
about $3,000 a year for the Chapel
Hill and Glenwood PTA programs
is being realized. “I don’t know
what people did before we had
the Thrift Shop,” said a PTA
spokesman. “Some families seem
to depend on it so much for their
needs. And persons from all walks
of life come in regularly to buy.”
Most income represents profit
for the PTA since only the salaries
of the shop-keeper and her helper
and a few minor expenses must
be paid out of the gross. All mer
chandise — and almost everything
is on sale — is donated by towns
people. Giving to the Thrift Shop
renders a double service, accord
ing to Mrs. Kerr White of the
PTA’s Shop Committee: “The giver
is able to dispose of useable cloth-
* .. f„,. o annH Pick-up statlons are also located
ing and household items ^ schools, Fowler’s Food Store,
cause and pei’sons m need can y ^ ^—i
them at a fraction
of their new
cost.” . ,
Mrs. Ray, who’s well-experienced
in retail sales work, tags each item
with a price based on its useful
ness. Items range from five cents
up to $7.00. A frayed, but clean
man’s white shirt might bring $.15,
good dresses and shoes a dollar,
and heavy, warm overcoats and
jackets up to five dollars or so.
Through this PTA project many
parents who are unable to outfit
the Glen Lennx Rental Office, and
the Victory Village Day Care Cen
ter.
Evidence of the Shop’s benefit
to the schools is indicated by the
two PTA’s budgets, through which
are provided material seiwices not
furnished by the .state but neces
sary for a good school program.
The profits are distributed on a
per student basis ,
