RECEIPE OF THE WEEK
A friend of mine who wrltei
for a South Carolina dall;
newspaper had been having i
discussion on the best way o
cook green beans. Thl:
brought to my attention that
naver had a "good pot" o
green beans, mainly becau*
01 the w.?y they were cooked
To me all that had to be don
was drop a pound or twi
of beans in a quart of wate:
and cook for 15 minutes. Not
someone tells me to put fat
back in with them andcookfo
2 hours. This can't be right
so how about all the wome
reading this column send in t
me the way you cook greei
beans and we'll clear thl
matter up.
SMILE OF THE WEEK

Astrologers Predict
"Blue Monday"
For Next Week
If you believe In astrology,
don't mate any plana for next
Monday. There may not be a
next Monday.
Even If there la a next
Monday the astrologer* any, It
won't be much fun. Surma,
tidal waves, earthquakes, the
sinking of continents, financial
panic and the outbreak of
World War III are liable to
make the day hectic.
All these dire predictions,
and more, are being made by
astrologers the world over
who expect the advent of
catastrophe some time Sun
day. They base their pro
phesies on an Inauspicious
combination of the planets in
the constellation of C apt corn.
Astronomers ? serious
students of the heavenly bodies
?agree that the five vlsable
planets of Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will
be groiped along with the sun
and the moon around the con
stellations of Capricorn and
Aquarius. Beyond this point,
the astronomers and the
astrologers go separate ways.
Astrologers ? who try to
tell the future by the move
ments of the planets ? don't
see It that way. They are
preparing for the worst.
Nostradamus forecast the
end for July 1999#. See you
then.

Most Households Lack
Necessary Medical Aid
It your household properly equipped to handle minor
Illness and accidents? Probably not. Most of us would
have K> mate a quick trip id the drug store to meet
most minor family emergencies.
There are a few staple Items that It would be well
K> Include In your stock of medical supplies. As
listed In Today's Health, the magazine of the American
Medical Association, these Include. . . .
Asprln, to help rid of headaches or the aches and
pains accompanying a cold.
Calamine lotion for minor skin irritations, Insect
bims and the early stages of polslon Ivy.
A cough syrup containing soothing Ingredients and
no habit forming drugs.
Petrolatum for chapped skin and superficial burns,
cuts, and bruises.
Adhesive bandages, roll bandages, sterile gauze
pads and adhesive tape.
An oral thermometer, and a rectal one for small
children.
A bulk or mild saline laxative for occasional use.
Epsom salts and rubbing alcohol.
Sick room supplies such as hot water bottle, Ice
bag, vaporizer, enema bag, medicine droppers, tongue
depressors, tweezers, scissors, a handy reference
poison chart and a good first aid manual.
An antlseptlcforwoisids.Oon'tbotherwlthantiseptic
for minor cuts. Hot water and soap will do a good job.
A final word of caution: Keep your medical supplies
out of the reach of small children. The candy coated
aspirin are fine for children, but they also are tempting
and children sometimes will eat the whole bottle of
the small pills, with dire results.
There are other useful household medical supplies
and equipment, but those listed here will handle most
minor home aliments and Injuries. Don't try to treat a
more serious Illness or Injury yourself. Call your
doctor.

Special to the Scout
by Velma Beam Moore
The lead editorial lnSunday
edition of the Ashevllle
Citizen - Times, Jan, 4.
entitled "Hammer Report
Gathers Dust" doesn'texactly
apply to the Clay County copy
of that report! For the second
time within an eight-weeks
period It was summarized by
Mr. Tom Day, local banker,
for an interested group which
met at the John C. Campbell
Folk School, Monday, January
15. 1:00 - 2:00 p.m.
Mr. Day interpreted the re
port; pointing up its Im
plications to our local
situation. He expect ally
stressed the need for regular
meetings of an action group
composed of people from Clay
Cherokee and Graham
Counties Interested in:
1. Improving transportation
facilities toward North
Carolina towns.
2. Developing businesses of
our own Instead of waiting until
someone "brings In" an
industry.
3. Recognizing the need for
Adult Education by all groups.
4. Finding other marketing
oudets.
It was the hope of the group
that small study groups might
be formed In different areas
to discover the possibilities
of suggestes projects.
It was decided that the South
cannot move forward inn the
vast unknown future unless It
has an educated adult
populadonl This does not
necessarily mean a formal
educadon. It does mean to
become Informed about what
we are trying to accomplishl
All of us are "Ignorant" about
so many things, It hardly be
hooves any of us to glibly talk
about "Ignorant people". No
community can afford com
placency about Its situation
until It has exhausted all ef
forts to "awaken, enlighten
and enliven" Its people I
It was decided by this group
that a sub-regional meeting for
that a sub-regional meeting
for planning definite action
should be held on Monday,
February 12, 7:30 p.m. at the
Folk School. That Clay,
Cherokee and Graham
counties all have a stake In
such an organization and its
planning. So It. is suggested
that Interested people from
these counties attend this
meeting.
Those present were: Mes
dames: Francis Bourne, Sr.,
