The Mayor’s Column
The new administration of Bur
nsville, consisting of Pete Coletta
and B. R. Penland as aldermen,
and myself as mayor, has now
been in office nearly two weeks.
We are all new to the job. We have
already discovered that • running
the town is a bigger, more com
plicated, more time-consuming job
than we had supposed. We have
discovered this despite the fact
ws had all been warned. Previous
town officials had told us “Aou
have never dreamed of the variety
of Problems that will arise.”
We feel that we are learning
rapidly, and we have already
made a number of decisions- One
of our first has been that we will
make a special effort to share with
the citizens of the town informa
tion about the town’s affairs. This
column is one means of sharing
this information. It will appear in
the Yancey Record every week for
the next few issues, and there
after from time to time as the
town is faced with problems of
to. its citizens.
We will inform you in this col
umn regarding such things as the
town debt, and the interest and
principal payments we are obliged 1
to make. We will discuss tax
collections, the water rates and
revenues, the spending of money
on paving and .street maintenance,
the collection and disposal of gar

bread in nutrients needed by
individuals, according to Dr.
Henry Borsook, nationally
known nutritionist.
Because of enrichment,
“bread became far more nu

been before,” _

Brownies Make News •
SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED to America's favorite
browßies —and it’s potato chips, of all things!
Potato chip brownies are something pretty special. They’re
made with unsweetened chocolate, of course, chopped nuts . . .
and then, for intriguing flavor and texture ... a half cup of
finely crumbled potato chips. Next time you bake brownies
try this recipe and see if anyone can guess what makes them
just a little bit different—and so very good.
POTATO CHIP BROWNIES

bage, and the very major problem
facing Burnsville of providing a
sewerage disposal plant-
We plan also, as a means of
keeping you informed, to have
occasional town meetings, open to
all of you who may want to ask
questions, make suggestions, or
vent your criticisms on the town
board.
We hope and believe that giving
publicity to the town’s affairs will
serve useful purposes. First, our
citizens have every right to know
anything they wish about their
town’s affairs. Furthermore, by
sharing the town’s problems we
hold the high hope that we may
encourage a better spirt of coop
eration in our efforts to improve
the town. Our highest hope is that
We may foster the spirit in our
local affairs that President Ken
nedy so eloquently expressed when
he requested that citizens not ask
what the government can do for
them, but what they can do for
the government-
I close this first Mayor’s Column
with two items of information.
The town budget for the next year
is posted in the town office for
any of you to inspect. And last,
by paying your town taxes this
month, you will not only help the
treasury, but will get one per cent

gram for white bread and
flour. The enrichment pro
gram began in 1941.
Dr. Borsook said that grand
mother’s bread rated high in
nostalgia but not in nutrition.
Today’s enriched white bread
is greatly superior in its con
tributions of the B vitamins,
iron and calcium.
He noted that enrichment is
credited with definitely help
ing the general level of health
in the United States as well
as helping to all but wipe out
certain vitamin deficiency dis
eases.
‘‘Before the bread enrich
ment program, our white
bread, as a result of the mill
ing process, was on the low
side in iron and in Vitamin B1
(thiamine),” Dr. Borsook ex
plained. ts
‘‘lt didn’t have much Vita
min B 2 (riboflavin) to start
with anyhow, and it was on
the low side in niacin. Since
it is immaterial what the’
source of an essential nutrient
is, we recommended adding
certain essential nutrients ana
now enriched white bread is
a very nutritious food.”

This six year old’s mother is a busy and very wise young woman. >
She understands the joy, the sense of importance and the feeling of
being loved that come to a small girl when permitted to do simple.!
useful chores. She also knows that a teen age daughter may ;
suddenly acquire an uncanny ability to sense, and to tiptoe out
of sight and hearing, when the words kitchen, canning and cooking
are about to be.spoken. But at twenty, she’ll be right back in the
kitchen, feeling at ease because she will recall much of what she
learned and observed when helping was fun, I
Just what can a six year old do other than get in the way? Many
things! Shell peas, snap beans, roll cookies, squeeze grapes to sep
arate skins from pulp, and run fruit for sauce or butter through a
„ colander or food mill. ’ >
When she is three or four years older, she will take pride in doing
the whole butter making job on her own. This simple, but flavor
. gome recipe will be one she’ll cherish in those future years.
Peach Butter
A wholesome, delicious, inexpensive and easy-to-make spread for
toast and other hot breads.
8 cups peach pulp V 2 teaspoon salt
6 cups light brown sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
Wash, scald, drain, pit and peel ripe peaches. Put peaches into

Vi cup water. Cook peaches until soft; put them through.-colander
or fowl mill. Measure peach pulp, add sugar and salt and boil until
i thick. Add vanilla. Pour boiling hot butter to within Vi inch of top
