PARHAM Home Service Representative of Carolina Power & Light Company GOOD KNIVES FOR THE KITCHEN From early morning until the last midnight snack, kitchen knives are in use. Good knives, located where they are to be used, help to make food preparation work much easier, whereas poor knives are a source of irritation to the housewife, besides being time-consuming. In selecting knives, two things must be considered—the material of the knife and the grind. Steel with a high carbon content is ex cellent for cutting purposes; this is sometimes plated with chromium Fish Few As “Ole Swimming Hole” Becomes Memory By Porry Morgan. The “ole swimming hole” that is Lake Ridgecrest is a forlorn, abandoned, lonely, deserted, des titute, miserable and forsaken place now that it is empty. The Nimrods and Isaac Waltons can now go hear hunting in their spare time. A leak which sprang in the dam during the summer forced a closing of the lake by Willard Weeks. Commanded to draw out the water, the boys took pipes, poles, punches, tools and kits and with strong arm movements suc ceeded in opening the gates there by releasing the flood waters which came roaring through. For four days the stream of wat er came pouring through the drain pipes and down the creek to the Swannanoa and French Broad riv ers. During all this time the boys stood by with nets, screens, cans, pails, and a boat in high expecta tion that the catch of bream, cat fish, trout, crappies, bass and pos sibly a shark or a whale would bring to them a life time exper ience and provide our tables with delectable seafood for days to come. Calmly and quietly the waters receded as down, down, down went the gage until dry land began to appear. Each day excitement and expectation ran higher and higher when at last with a “guzzzzllleee” the water totally disappeared through that drain pipe. And what was the result of all the effort. About a half peck bucket filled with small bass, a crappy or two and some bream just the right size for bait. Oh, yes, some of the boys discovered a family of catfish hiding under an old stump and went for them with hare feet and hands taking them out to the tune of about 20 but who wants catfish even if Hambone places him in the cata gory of the seven wonders of the world. When asked to name the seven wonders of the world Hambone said ham, eggs, chicken, watermel on, possum, ’tater and stewed cat fish. Our hope is that all the Nimrods from Balsam to Mitchell, Round Knob and Old Fort will view the bottom of the lake and see for themselves what havoc has been wrought upon the finny tribes by their visits with rod and reel, hook and line, butterflies, worms, bugs and plugs. Well, repairs on the lake and a two year wait will provide again some spout for us. Be patient with us, boys. Whitaker. B. M. town aldermen; Roy Taylor, Mrs. Dempsey Whit aker, Jr. Women and American Home and Civic club; Mrs. George McAfee, elementary PTA Grade Mother chairman; and Kenneth McCurry, Junior C. of C. The following clubs were not represented at the meeting. They have been requested to cooperate in the campaign: Jr. Order, Amer ican Legion Auxiliary; Home Demonstration.

While a blade must be fairly thick at the back edge for strength, the cutting edge must be thin. The two meth ods of grinding are flat and hollow. A flat ground blade tapers uni formly from back to cutting edge and the hollow ground blade has concave surfaces running the full length of both sides of the blade so the blade is thin for a greater part of its width. Most knives found in the kitchen have handles made of wood, but hard rubber and plastic handles are on the market. The metal of the blade which extends into the handle is called the tang. In full tang construction, the metal goes the full length of the handle, and the two separate parts of the handle are held to the tang with two or three rivets. In half-tang construction, the handle is made of one piece with a slit cut in it, the tang being inserted in the slit and held in place by two rivets. Both types of construction are sturdy. There are many different types of knives on the market. The care ful shopper will start with one or two of the conventional types and add others as she finds need for them. Given proper care, knives will last a long time. Handle and wash them separately storing in a holder with slots which prevent the sharp edges from coming in contact with other objects. 14,000 Attend ission Schools There was an average attendance of 85 people in each service in each church during the schools of missions in the 24 churches of the Buncombe Baptist association the week of Sept. 6-11. There was a total attendance of 14,000 in all of the services held during the week. This does not include the general meetings held on Sunday after noon, Tuesday morning, and Thurs day morning for the people from all the churches. In the services for the week there were two conver sions, 71 dedications for definite Christian service, and 75 subscrip tions for religious periodicals. There were 24 missionaries from many different points who assist ed in the schools. They repre sented state, home, and foreign fields, and their schedule was so planned that each church would hear messages from missionaries in different fields. One of the guest missionaries was heard to say that he had been in many schools but that he found the spirit and attitude of the peo ple here the best of any school in which he had had a part. Fifteen of the churches had classes in connection with the mis sionaries. They used books pre pared for the Foreign Mission em phasis this fall. The churches having classes were Liberty, Hom iny, Riverside, Beaverdam, Reed Memorial, Swannanoa First, West Asheville, Enka, Weaverville, Crav en Street, Grace, Calvary, White Rock, Cumberland ■ Avenue, and Victory.
