H&N Burglars

several others in Eastern Carolina.

after a wild chase through Eastern
Carolina which started in Wilson '
and continued through Tarboro and i
back to Wilson.
The Havelock motor company I
was burglarized March 17 and ap
proximately $300 or $400 removed j
from the safe. The safe was car
ried from the building by the two
boys in a car which was parked
in the shop of the motor company
and later carried to Bryan's hunt
ing camp and broken open. A crew
of workmen found the safe several
days later.

Thrifty Homemaker Shops
With Planned Market List
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent
Shopping to Save ? The thrifty
homemaker become! a smart shop
per when she shops with a care
fully-planned market list. She tan
save more pennies in her budget
by observing these points:
1. Shop in person whenever
possible.
2. Shop from store to store for
best food buys in price and quality.
3. Read labels to determine
quality, size and weight. Consider
food use. Less expensive grades
of most foods have the same food
value and are just as satisfactory
[or many purposes as more ex
pensive and perfectly shaped foods.
4. Compare relative costs of dif
ferent forms of food ? such as
fresh, canned, froien and dried.
Judges in Contest
Narrow Field to 10
Charles Hill, president of the
Newport Businessmen's Associa
tion, said judges in the slogan con
test have narrowed down the field
to about 10. From those the win
ner will be chosen.
He pointed out that the slogan,
which will go on welcome signs at
either end of Newport on highway
70, must not only be good in sub
ject matter but also be suitable for
the size sign.
Judges in the contest are May
or Edgar Hibbs, Roy T. Garner
and J. S. Bell. The winner will
receive a $29 government bond.
The contest cloeed at midnight
Thursday.

5. Select vegetables and fruits j
which are plump and firm and
without decay. Sometimes fruits
and vegetables with only slight,
superficial blemishes which can be
removed will be cheaper and just
as satisfactory for cooking. Wilt
ed vegetables may be an utter
waste because they often cannot
be used at all.
6. Buy eggs to get the best val
ue under state grading regulations.
Strictly fresh, high-grade eggs, al
though not necessarily the largest
size, are preferred when served as
a single dish. For casseroles, cro
quettes, meat loaves and general
cooking, smaller eggs are quite
satisfactory. The color of the egg
shell does not affect the eating
quality or the food value, but some
times affects the price.
Newport Hopes
To Win Contest
Newport is out to win the Fin
er Carolina Contest this year.
Five projects have been selected.
One is the erection of welcome
signs at the north and south limits
of the town on highway 70. The
Businessmen's Association has un
dertaken that project.
The second is the laying of a
water main, from the town tank,
along the Nine-Foot Road to the
business section. This project has
been undertaken by the fire de
partment.
The third is a playground to be
built by the Methodist church mem
bers, the fourth is a new play area
at the school and the fifth deals
with highway safety.
Charles Hill is general chairman
of the Finer Carolina committtee.

down fat. But you can fool your
self.
You need muscles strong enough
to handle your body. Use strength
ens muscles.
The best way to reduce weight
is to cut down on food and take
specific exercises. The proper
record on the bathroom scales
means little if you are all out of
shape. You need muscles to hold
your abdomen in place.
It is on the abdomen that fat is
likely to accumulate first. These
exercises are designed to help you
deal with that problem.
