Vitamins and mineral salts stored in green things provide cheap health Insurance during the winter months. Cows cropping grass, ; and rabbits nibbling lettuce, have the edge on many humans. By nature they pre--fer what is good for them- the tend erest shoots and the greenest plants. If you are training f 11 marathon or hoping to tip the scale at an addi tional ten' pounds, you won't find the necessary calories in salads. Keep to your beefsteaks and potatoes then. But for the body , building minerals, such as iron and calcium, salad plants are an essential. , Thanks to improv d methods of growing, refrigerating, and transporting, some form of this liighly perishable food can put in an Appearance at the dinner table every ay in the year. , Most important of our salad crop is lettuce with ; its four .types, the crisp head, the butterhead, cos or vt'viomaine, and loaf. Though its rise ' . - to popularity is recent, 'lettuce can , 'trace its origin back ' hundreds of ' . v Lyears to a planto ,:C hCyn EUie Himalaya ,yeara to a plant-carried from Europe as. it ' derives , its , , t Tnamo from.

Of the several varieties Big Bos ton, White ' Boston, Unrivaled, May King Bur Boston is the only . one offering competition to Iceberg in the carload movement of lettuce and then only in limited areas. ' ' Cos or romaine is another heading lettuce.' This tall thin member of the lettuce family comes to market in the spring and fall. Its elongated head is composed of narrow leaves, bleaching from medium green at the outside to creamy white at the center. Thick midribs gives the leaves a crunchy, full body, and the flavor is rich. Leaf lettuce is not grown exten sively in a commercial way. Market gardeners, in some sections, like to grow this plant because of its hardy nature, and greenhouse leaf lettuce finds, a ready sale in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and certain eastern mark ets. . But both the straight-edged, smooth-leaf type of leaf lettuce and the Grand Rapids variety with its wavy, tightly curled green leaves, are losing ground steadily to the heading lettuces. Lettuce makes exacting demands i wherever grown and by whatever method. It requires good soil rich in organic matter, sufficient water, plenty of fertilizer, a large amount of hard labor, an even temperature, and protection from its worst enemy excessive heat. Even after the heads have been cut, they call for special care until they are delivered at the customer's doorstep.

Millions the world over have been enthralled by the warmth, the ten derness and the charming, beauty of Johanna Spyri's beloved story of Heidi and all the colorful folk who lived and laughed and loved high up in the Swiss Alps, just beneath the stars. Translated into all languages and read everywhere, it is a story chat had to wait for its star before it could be brought to the screen. The TwentiethvCentury-Fox produc tion of "Heidi" starring Shirley Tem ple, coming Monday and Tuesday to the State Theatre, is the picture for which she'll be remembered always. "Heidi" brings a Shirley Temple more glorious than has ever been known, in the picture she was asked to make by thousands of fans who wrote to the Twentieth Century-Fox studios. Bringing love to hearts fill ed with hate, and a twinkle to eyes filled wit tears, "Heidi" tells of an embittered mountain-top exile, brilliantly-portrayed by Jean Hersholt, reclaimed from his fierce hatred of the world, of a young girl who finds the strength and courage to walk again, and of the little heroine who brings everyone new zest for life. Arthur Treacher' and Helen. West"- ley play prominent roles in the story, and Pauline Moore, Thomas Beck, Mary Nash, Sidney Blackmer, " Mady TflVtOB; EDENTON, N.

Written into the faithfully tran scribed screen play by Walter Ferris and Julien Josephen. are two dance sequences that present the first star of the screen at her greatest. "In Our Little Wooden Shoes,", the spec ially, composed song by Lew Pollack and Sidney D. Mitchell, gives Shirley a gay and charming interlude in the warmly dramatic story. It was in "Wee Willie Winkie" that she made her first attempt at a straight dramatic role, an attempt so successful that Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century-Fox production! chief, decided to make "Heidi" in the big-picture tradition set by the Kip ling classic. Remaining unspoiled in the midst of it all, Shirley was wide-eyed with elation when she was assigned the role and wanted to be assured that all the things that made "Heidi" so coloful to her would be retained in the picture. ' ' ' "Heidi has Sold millions of copies and is on the prescribed reading lists cast and gloriously played, it makes a picture that its many readers long have hoped to see. Raymond Griffith served as asso ciate producer, and the special dance sequences were staged by Sammy Lee. - "' " THEflTB WE HAVE THE SHOWS Turkeys at This Show JiYLAND i ft; , Mrs, Haywood Phthisic ' and two children, of Edenton, were guests, of Mrs. Phthlsic's aunt, Mrs. Roy Parks, and Mr. Parks, Wednesday night and Thursday.
