N The’nes OPRINO-iUMMER FASH ION BOOK shows sssrss st sthsr stylos, Ms ostia. There is "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. Yes. Mr. Hemingway is the man you read about in the papers the oth er week. We were afraid he had lost his life when his airplane ! came down in the jungles of Africa but he came safely through that experience. This book of his is about an old fisherman who almost lost his life when he caught a mon : ster marlin and tried to take it to shore. His struggle gives us a picture of supreme courage. W T e I can well say of this book, good ! things come in small packages. Another book I should like to recommend is Pearl Buck’s "Come My Beloved". Many of Mrs. Buck’s books are about China and I hope you will read some of them too. This one Is about India. As ! India is a country that is very ; prominent in the news these day.-, i it might be well for us to know something about the Indian peo ple and their customs. For in ! stance, do you know that the In dians put their dead on open j towers where they are devoured | by the buzzards? You will read about this as you follow David | ! McArd and his son, rich Ameri | cans on a visit to India. You ; will learn much about this coun- ’ try and its people as you follow the lives of young David his wife i Olivia, their son Theodore and , his wife and daughter. You learn of the beautiful friendship between David and the Indian Darya. You may be sur prised by the wisdom of this young man and also by the wis dom of Jatln another young Tn j dian who fell irr love with the ’ daughter of Theadore. It all ends well and I like books with good endings. Don’t you? Pilot Club Meets At North State Hotel Mrs. Gladys Llewellyn, chair man of the finance committee, was. program leader at the regular din ner meeting of the Lincolnton 1 Pilot Club, which was held Mon day night a the North State Hotel. Mrs. Llewellyn and mem bers of her committee used the Valentine decorations and red candles to grace the table. Valen tines were used as place cards. Mrs. Llewellyn gave the invoca tion. She then gave a summary of the club’s financial year and pre sented Mrs. Eunice Bandy, who j gave a narrative desc:ipticn of a large collection of pictures .she made while on a trip to the Holy Land. Special gues;s were Mrs. Bandy. Mrs. Made Beaman and Mrs. Alda Crow. The club had a perfect at tendance record. Ladies: Now's The Time To Slim Legs * It Is not solely a male view point that trim ankles are a beau ty asset. Fashionable women real ize that heavy ankles throw the nicest figure out of balance, creat ing a very awkward appearance. Fortunately, no one has to en dure such a situation. There are numerous exercises that will re duce the ankles as much as three inches within three months. So, if heavy ankles are your problem, teen-agers, get with the exercise mat. Don’t hope that na ture will be kind in time. The flesh will only settle more firmly while you hope in vain. Meantime, | you will feel mighty awkward in j the slim-line dresses that are des- j tined for popularity in coming i months. Here are three very simple ex- 1 ercises that will show amazing results if you are faithful to them: 1. Wring the flesh around the ankles as though it were a rag. Do this for several minutes a few times a day. I 2. Slap the ankles with your 1 fists until they are pink. Slap upward, as far as your legs need j reducing. Do not slap downward. 3. Lying on back with right leg j raised and ankle and knee relaxed. ; make a circle out from ankle 10 times with toes. Then make 10 circles with ankle of left leg. Do this exercise two or three times a day. gradually working up to at least 200 circles each day. Mrs. Henry S. Robinson Celebrates 80th Birthday Mrs. Henry S. Robinson, one of Lmcolnton’s most beloved women, celebrated her 80 th birthday Tuesday, February 16. and irr spite ! : of the fact that she is recovering from a broken leg and still unable to walk, she was able to greet the numerous friends who called dur- I ing the day, to all of whom she was her usual happy, smiling self. An avalanche of cards, as well as 1 flowers and other gifts poured in j to the home all day. Out of town children here for the occasion were Rev. nrrd Mrs. Henry S. Robinson. Jr., and fam ily. of Charlotte, and Mrs. Nan cy Rriqgs, of Gastonia. Miss Nan cy Wilson, of Gastonia, was also a guest. Six weeks ago Mrs. Robinson fell at her home, breaking a bone in her leg. She spent five weeks in the Gordon Crowell hospital and was removed to her home ten davc aao where she Is recovering satisfactorily.

Hickory Grove £!ub Thanks Home Aaents Mrs. Theren L Wright, vice pre-sldent of the Hickory Grove Home Demonstration club, has submitted for publication the fol lowing report of the club's activi ties: "We, as club members, believe as our club creed-reads, ‘’Today’s! Home Builds Tomorrow's World". The Hickory Grove club women feel they have made progress through the untiring efforts of their home agents. "Through thet- demonstrations we have learned better food pre servations, especially In frozen foods, with most of our members now owning home freezers. Today we are more aware of the need to grow a larger va:lety of vegetables and meats. Also, we have learned how to prepare and serve a well balanced meal for our growing , children, with milk a MUST In our menus. 1 “Family life interests have in creased because family life is one 1 of the main goals in the Home Demonstration clubs. We have be come Interested in move and bet ter reading and home recreation.! Including the demonstrations on ' Good Music. "Good Health has been one of our club goals in years past, and is still one of the most Important In 1954. One month is set aside each year to stress the importance of good health and to encourage i | the members to have their annual j physical check up and visit the detection center and X-ray mobile. 1 “Many of our women have re modeled their homes recently and j mos: of them gained Inspiration and Ideas through the demonstra tions and special meetings on ; building and remodeling. "Our club project for the past I several years has been Improving our school. Hickory Grove. The most important step was that i some of our women met with the | County School Board for the pur-j pose of Installing inside rest rooms j and drinking fountains, which i was shortly completed. We have | equipped both rest rooms with paper towel racks, soap dispensers, and for the gnls sanitary napkin dispensers. Also, we have beauti- i tied the school grounds by plant- ' ing shrubbery and dogwood trees. We have bought- song books for , them, and two of our women made a United Nations flag and pre -1 sented it to the school. Our pro | ject this year is to give them j money with which to buy recrea tional equipment. "We have also been interested , in helping to equip the McKendree , chu: ch hut, since some of our . monthly meetings and family [ [ nights are held there. L i “For all these accomplishments and many more we say, “Thank You Home Agents.” Chicken Pie Tops the List For an economical meal-in-a-dish that satisfies the taste of even the most discriminating member of the family, biscuit-topped chicken pie goes to the top of our list.

Svrve at - It Pays To Eat A Good Breakfast DRETTY as a picture with its * gay and colorful provincial ware, here is the quickest, easiest, and one of the least expensive of all good breakfasts—a menu en joyed by young people and old sters alike. To whet the appetite, there’s cool tangy orange juice. Crisp, crunchy corn flakes and milk make up a main course that is rich in body-building protein, minerals and vitamins. YY hat with the more than twenty varieties of breakfast cereals to be found on your gro cer’s shelves hot, ready-to-eat, pre-sweetened, with variations in flavor and fonn such as rolled, flaked, puffed, biscuit shapes, ker nels and shreds—there’s never a problem in planning with this basic breakfast pattern as a guide. Add two slices of bread end but ter, and you have a breakfast that 1 A New Version of ! | Sausage and Pancakes JUST add apple—and what a fresh, new flavor this classic combina tion of sausage and pancakes takes on.

Nutrition authorities say “Breakfast should give one-fourth to one-third of all the nutrients you should have in a day.” One third is right for growing boys and girls and one-fourth for most I adults. j Doctors discovered in a series of scientific tests on college girls and boys at a big midwestern med ical school that after a good cereal breakfast you’re able to work bet ter, you're more alert and keenl ana your muscles don’t get so tired, especially during the late morning hours. Without the basic cereal break ! fast of fruit, cereal, milk, bread and butter, work output goes j down; reactions are slower; fa i tigue increases.

Sassafras Tea Season Arrives In Carolinas ASHEVILLE—For those who are nostalgic: This is the season of the.year 1 when sassafras tea is available be cause it is made from the birk of the roots of this plant and works best in the season w hen the plant itself is dormant. The secret is to get jus: the flavor of the sessafras and not make the tea too strong. The same rule holds good for mountain birch tea. a much less common but equally delightful drink. Skill in the making is what provides the proper aroma. The next b acket includes those ' drinks that drew their popularity from a minor alcoholic content. Most interesting of these, perhaps was a peculiar concoction known ! and justly celebrated as “cherry | bounce.” It was made, according to tradition, by « rugged old gent leman who lived near the top of a mountain in the Chimney Rock 5 section. He would not -ell it but. ; if he liked the looks and. pe sonal ! ity of a visitor to his home, would j invite him to partake of the bev erage which was reputed to have ; a brilliant color and a kick like a mule. Blackberry wine has been some thing of an institution in itself in I the mountains of Western North Carolina. In many counties the | custom of making a modest ! amount of blackberry wine is still popular. RARE CONCOCTION The same is true with elderbe- ry ; wine, although not to the same i extent, and to an even lesser de j gree with dandelion wine. Rarest of all perhaps is the .in dent concoction known as persim mon beer. The art of making this : drink Is unfortunately all but lest, but Is is hoped that somewheie in . the mountains there are a few old 1 timers who have not forgotten the art. Wine from various kinds of : grapes is made, of course, and in some sections the quality of this has reached a high peak. This is notably true In the Tryon area. The making of cldar is popular |in the late autumn season when | the apples of this section are at their best. If some of this cider tends to develop certain c:eden tials that lift its capacity to en tertain it can always be explained as vinegar that went wrong. The making of whiskey has b*en an industry in the mountains sifiee i earliest times, but for some four decades this occupation has been frowned upon by the law with in creasing ferocity. The ancient art . of making “corn llcker" has. under the pressure of speeded up produc tion because of the constant threat of the law, degenerated Into the making of sugar liquor, a product that is said to have none of the qualities of old- fashioned corn liquor. Home Demonstration Schedule Next Week The Salem Home Demonstration Club will hold their regular mon thly meeting Thursday. February 25th at 2:30 P.M.. in the Salem Club House. The Hickcry Grove Home De monstration Club will hoW their regular monthly meeting. Friday. February 26th at 7:15 P M., at the home of Mrs. E. E. Shrum.

Bake as usual. Try this "frosting" for fish to be broiled: mix some onion salt and Worcestershire sauce in mayon naise and spread over the fish, i Broil until golden and puffy. Prepare frozen fish fillets quick ly for deep-fat frying by thawing and separating the fillets. Shake RECIPE OF THE WEEK ' Date Oatmeal Bread (Makes 1 loaf) 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats ! cup chopped dates IV 4 cups scalded milk 2 cups sifted, all-purpose flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 egg cup light corn syrup Add rolled oats and dates to milk. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add slightly beaten egg and corn syrup. Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add milk mixture, stirring enough to blend well. Bake in a greased loaf pan In a moderate (350*F.) erven for one in a bag with pancake ready-mix. Dust off excess and fry for 2 min utes in deep hot fat. Like a thick syrup for pancakes and waffles? Heat 1 pint of dark corn syrup with Vi cup butter or substitute and serve from pitcher. It saves butter, too. Brush kidneys well with melted butter before broiling so they won't dry out they are delicious served on broiled Canadian baron slices. It’s worthwhile to make ginger bread just to smell it baking. but it's good to eat. too. if v .u slice the squares then out together with a mixture of cream cheese, chopped dales and wamutg. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
