HOLIDAY PUNCHES
 NOT ALL WITH
On Contrary Many Other Drinks Are Popular With
 Young and Old

| Now that we can drink anything alcoholic that we want and can afford, but merely because we are | going to regain that privilege there is no reason why we should plunge up to our necks in alcoholic drinks. In fact, there is every reason why we should not abuse the privilege. especially since there are so many good drinks we can enjoy without any alcoholic con- tent.
 For the benefit of hostesses who expect to give parties for young people during the coming holidays. and of those who pre- fer not to drink alcohol them- selves. however they voted about | the eighteenth amendment, here are some royal, thirst -quenching drinks which look and taste as good as any drinks can. There are, for instance, these delicious Pineapple Drinks
 Eastern Punch: Chop one-half cup raisins and one-quarter table, spoon preserved ginger. add two cups water and boil ten minutes, then strain. Add one-half cup sugar, and cool. Add one-half' cup lemon juice, the contents of a No. 2 can of Hawaiian pine apple juice and one pint bottle of charged water, and pour over block of ice. This makes one and a half quarts, or fills twelve punch glasses.
 Fruit Flip: Boil seven-e -eighths cup sugar, one cup orange juice and one orange rind cut in thin strips for five minutes, then cool, Add one and one-half cups strong cold tea, two tablespoons lemon | juice and the contents of a No. can of Hawaiian pineapple juice.

 Array Of Customs
America Uses Both Native and Foreign Christmas
 Dishes-YuIetde Specialties Listed

Christmas is the universal holi- day but, talk of modern communi- cation and exchange of ideas not withstanding, every country clings to its own customs to celebrate the holiday, and to It's own menus for the feast.
 While you are filling Mary James stocking the Mexican mother is preparing the 'pinate" or earthern bowl which, when cracked upen, showers little Chita with gifts. While the English housewife is lighting the brandy around the plum pudding, her Swedish cousin is baking the ''lusk- fish" and rolling out the ginger bread "Yulbrocken." In Paris, the maternal head of the family is looking forward to Reveillon or the Christmas eve feast, and in Spain the Senoras are shopping for fruit sand truffles for the mid day feast.
 The United States. with its varied ancestry, draws from all the countries for the Christmas tradi- tions, and hence has the richest array of customs to be found. Garnered from every country, our feasts are embellished with plum pudding in the English manner, with fruits and nuts in the Span- ish. and with the good things from every land. In addition. nearly every state has some of its own customs which have been devel- oped through the years to be in- cluded in the collection of cus- toms. Listed here are some of these fayorites.

Mince meat and cranberrieS are traditional favorites on holiday menus. Combining them to make a delicious Christmas pie is novel idea sure to win approval.
 If the pie served is decorated with a pastry Christmas tree 1t adds beauty to the table and tempts the appetites of the Christ mas guests although they may have eaten far too much roast goose by the time the dessert course is served.
 Pour two and one half cups of boiling water on a package of dry mince meat. Let the mince meat boil for twenty minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent 1t from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the fire and when cool, mix thoroughly with one and one-half cups of cooked cranber ries which have been mived with one-half cup of sugar.
 For a little different flavor, use one cup of cider and one and one- half cups of water instead of two and one-half cups of water with the mince meat.
 Place the concoction in a pie tin lined with pastry. h honor of Christmas, cut pie dough the shape of a Christmas tree and place it right on top. With 8 star shaped cookie cutter, make little star to go up at the tip of the tree. Dec- crate the end of each branch with a whole, uncooked cranberry. Place the pie in a hot oven (4O0 F.) and let it bake for about 35 minutes. Don't let the pie crust tree get too brown.
 The white tree decorated with red berries stands out against the dark background of mince meat and cranberries and makes d simply beautiful dessert.
 Place the whole pie, uncut, right on the table and cut and sereve it there.

SALES IN CITY
HEAVY TODAY
This Is "B.S.T." Day And
John Public Begins To
"Pay" Tomorrow

Henders0nville celebrated B. s.
II. Day without show of excite
ment hut with somewhat increased
business in the stores.
b. S. y. was variously interpret
cd to mean Beat Sales Tax or Be-
fore Sales Tax, but whatever the
Interpretation merchants were
agreed that collection of the tax
will be Il nuisance.
As a final "sh0t" in the pub
LEFTY preceding the advent of the
sales tax, several business firms
co-operated today in publishing a
haIf-page advertisement in The
Times-News emphasizing the fact
that The state law makes it man
datorv for them to pass the 3 per
cent tax on to consumers and pro-
hibits any store from advertising
that it absorbs the tax. and set
ting forth the four schedules un-
der which the several groups OF
merchants will come in collecting
the tax. Most merchants were
somewhat uncertain as to the eX-
act schedule. that would apply to
them. but there was no question:
ing the fact that the tax must be
collected, that the merchant must
turn il over to the state, and that
Mr.. John Public is going to be a
hard customer to satisfy until he
becomes resigned to the price in
crcases occasioned by the tax.

MERCHANTS HERE VOTEN0T
TO "OBSCURE" sales TAX
.NPASSDNC It TO BUYERS
Declare For City-Wide Observance OF The Fourth Of
July And Lay Plans For Seasons Drive Against
Residents Parking On Main Street

The Merchants Association in
a well attended meeting Thurs
day night at the city hall went
on record against "obscuring"
the sales tax, voted as a body to
close for the Fourth of July,
Tuesday of next week and ac-
copied volunteers to circulate
petitions against the parking Of
merchants on Main street or on
fourth or Fifth avenues between
Main and Church street, during
the tourist season.
The meeting was opened with
report OH the state merchants
convention held recently in Win
ston-Salem in which it was point
ed out that the members already
knew the details Of that gather
ing and its action, through press
reports and that the only thing
they probably didn't realize was
the unpopularity that was shown
toward the governor when lie was
booed during the discussion of
the lax.
1t was also pointed out that
Revenue Commission Maxwell had
said that the merchants would
have to overtax some people in
order to make up for the sales
which were not able under the
schedule, in view of the fact
that a merchant must pay on the
bulk Of his sales.
The motion was made and car
ried that the sales tax be listed
and collected as a separate item
from the price of the article on
which it was placed, keeping it
distinct, and that it not be OBJ
secured in the price Of the article.
It. was generally agreed that
the provisions Of the law make
it mandatory that the tax be
passed on to the people, and that
it could not be absorbed by the
merchant himself.
The merchants had before them
the following summary Of the
sales tax during their discussion,
epitOmizing the three brackets in
which the tax is assessed:
