Wives’Corner With Yancey Homemakers j j by Louise Tomes When ths Home Demonstra tion Clubs of the county served, supper to members cf the Men’s Club and their wives last week,' the summer . squash casserole proved quite popular. Summer squash being almost too abund ant in many home gardens this time of year, we thought you might like to know about this appetizing way of preparing it. Mrs. Bradley Shuford, president of theCelo Home Demonstra tion Club, whose members pre pared the casserole for the sup per, gives us this recipe, which was furnished by the Home Agent’s office: Squash in Casserole 3 cups mashed baked squash, 1 teaspoon salt, 1-4 teaspoon pepper, 1y 2 cups white sauce, y 2 cup butter, 3-4 cup dry bread crumbs. Combine squash, seasonings and white sauce, stir well. Place alternate layers of squash and dots of butter in greased casserole. Top with crumbs, dot with butter and bake in mod erate oven, 350 degrees F, 30 minutes. Serves 6 to 8. Is there any reason, other than force of habit, for continu ing to grow the old crook-neck yellow squash, when the newer straight-neck variety has less waste in the neck and a smooth er, more tender skin? - ** * * Sometimes a child will make A full-size electric eel—eif»h< f*-e: long and thick as a man’s lei —can build up a 600-volt chr. and release almost 1,000 watls >< power for a spilt second. A SCIENCE IN $■ Jf r*’'! m I* Ul b Victim cf r. i l he world-famous Trudeau tufcpr -1 rulosis sanatorium in Saranac, N. Y., has closed its doors as a treatment center, the victim of medical prog ress. When the hospital found itself operating with only 60 patients, a t lird of capacity, the directors decided to abandon the treatment program in favor of research. It was the U.S.’s olc’.st TB ssn- a tor uni and a model for many m others throughout xJE t.h? world, bound. co in 1885 by Ed- V\\A J ward Trudeau. . ’fcgj lar patient, th' Ls/YsSxlU-, sanatorium had t I caied for thou sands since two consumptive factor l . l girls entered the institution as its first patients When Tru 'sa’) was established a diagnosis of , £> v.is equivalent to a death warrant The malady was well known as long ago os 460 B C. when Hippocrates wrote the first medical code In the 1 7th century John Bunyan wrote, “the captain of all men of death was the con sumption." It has affected our music and our literature, taking the lives of Chopin and Paganini, Chekhov, Keats and Balzac. N Most TB experts credit the clos ing of Trudeau and the empty beds other sanrtoriums to the new anti-tuberculosis drugs developed since World War 11. Although TB ..began its retreat sometime after 1860, it ia only within the past 15 .years that new drugs like the com bination chemical, streptohydrazid, have put the killer to rout. This tan dem drug links two powerful weap ons, streptomycin and isoniazid, so that they can be given in tr single injection. Tuberculosis is not entirely beat en yet, but Dr. J. Burns Amberson of Columbia University, dean of U. pi tuberculosis experts; recently de clared, "Altogether, prospects seem fcood for what may be described as the conquest of tuberculosis in the foreseeable future. We certainly have the necessary means. It is only a question of using them.” ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE IJORTH CAROLINA YANCEY COUNTY Having qualified as Admin istratrix of the Estate of John Tipton, deceased, late’ of Yan cey County, this is to notify all persons -having claims against the Decedent to exhibit the Mime to the undersigned Ad ministratrix at her home at Rt.

It is a3 if a door which was closed years ago is.opened for a second, giving 4 glimpse of something long foi gotten. This happened a few days, ago when our. six-year-old daughter said to me, “I had a dream last night that makes me wonder.” “What was it?” “I dreamed that I dreamed about me dreaming.” “And what does that make you wonder?” “It makes me wqnder if I’m dreaming now.” Her “wondering” struck a little bell somewhere in my memory that left me in slightly eerie mood for the rest of the day. •* • • I wonder how many Yancey residents outside of Burnsville are enjoying the treat of real theater productions at the Parkway Playhouse. Os course summer is a busy time. It may seem hardly worth the effort after a long day of gardening or canning to get ready and drive Several miles to see a play. That was the way I used to feel about it, and consequent ly lived in the county many a year before seeing even the outside of the Playhouse. Not until we began attending some of the University of Miami Drama Workshop plays Jast summer and this did I realize what I had been miss ing. A good play offers more h REMEMBER”! [ BY THE 01D TIMERS a&\ From Cora Chism Murray, War* ren, Indiana: I remember when w« walked four miles to Sunday School and back Sunday night for church. We wore long hair—in braids —and high top button shoes. Our tong dresses took 15 yards of print. We wore bustles and our boy friends drove horses. We would ride two couples to one buggy, sing songs, stop along the way to call people out of bed and then drive on. ”We would race the horses and sometimes just tie the lines and see how. slow the horses would go. That was over 53 years ago and most of the boys and girls axe all gone. From Frank Kapler, Monticello, Indiana: J am 74 years old and wonder how many Old Timers re member the. old wheat cradle my father used to cut wheat with. When I was 14 we shocked It and took ft to a neighbor’s to be threshed with a horsepower, thresh ing machine—4 or 6 horses. We paid 5 cents a bushel to have it threshed (this was In northern lowa, 14 miles from Decorah). I am also wondering bow many old ladies remember the hoops and bustle the women wore. When I was home In 1953 I found some of them In the attic of an old granary. They are perhaps gone now, just as the old wheat cradle also dis appeared. _ • • • .

If you can * talk your husband into taking you to a Drama Workshop play just once, the rest should be easy. - Did, you realize that the Parkway Playhouse itself is something outstanding, 'not only for a small county like, ours but for any county? As this summer’s Drama Workshop theater programs state, it is a “one of the few, if not the only, t Playhouse in America being sponsored by a board of direct ors, a county board of educa tion, and a private university— a living example of democracy in action.” _ i I ■ 4[TEnlLl \ S ... mmgemsr Aiaz, a o Eluc.au cuiitu Sp; .HINTUV HAMfy D CM 1 r ON r-.OUTfc 1J ' CXXSXXXX%XXSX3gagKOS%XX3^SXX3^^ FEDERAL LOANS MADE IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ON I ' • HOMES FARMS MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON A SIOOO LOAN ACCORDING TO LENGTIi OF TERM MONTHLY PAYMENT TERM OF LOAN WITH INTEREST 5 years $19..34 8 years' 13.15 12 years _9.76 15 years 8.44 ANNUAL PAYMENT PLAN AVAILABLE FOR FARM LOANS CONTACT FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION OF ERWIN Erwin, Tennessee W.
