greens.
When these greens are to be served
raw they should be washed quickly
put in a cold place to become crisp
and used as soon as possible. Serving
them in this way retains most of the
food values. If kept in cold storage
or water for any length of time vita
min value may be decreased.
If the greens are to be cooked, put
them in a covered saucepan. If the
saucepan is thick enough for them to
cook slowly, use just the water tina;
clings to the leaves and have a very
low fire under the pan. Cook until
Just tender. Otherwise, cook the
greens quickly in a small amount Of
lightly sailed boiling water. Leave
the cover on the pan until the greens
are Wilted, and then remove the cover
to finish cooking. Season the greens
lightly, and dress them with butter or
other fat.
Fortunately, the four rules for saw
ing the food values are the same
rules that make the cooked vegetables
taste so good. They are: Use as little
water as practical. Have the water
boiling when you put in the vege-
tables and then bring it back to the
simmering point as quickly as pos
sible. Stop cooking as soon as the
vegetables are tender. Make uses of
the liquid from cooked vegetables.
The effect of hard or soft water is a
question often raised in vegetable
cookery. Hard water, which is aka
line, makes onions, cabbage, and cauli-
flower turn slightly yellow. This yell

the "brown" that develops from over.

yellow caused by hard water as we'll

so makes some Of the red vegetables,
such as red cabbage, and beets, turn
an unpleasing gray. You can over
come this color change in the red
vegetables by adding lemon juice.
vinegar, or cream of tarter to the
cooking water. Or, you can serve
these vegetables with a sour sauce
that will have the same effect.
Those who really enjoy the flavor
Of vegetables, usually prefer to have
them seasoned very simply and served
with butter or other fat, bacon, or
bits of salt pork friend crisp. Or,
they may choose sauce-cheese

for an occasional variation.

A Good Beginning

Hats off to Mr.. Jenkins and Mr..
Gary, and their associate, Mr..
BecIiwith, for launching the new
hosiery mill for Henderson. Per-
nap, and we can ardently hope and
desire that it be SO, this can be
made the beginning Of an industrial
renaissance for our city.
Theirs is the distinction Of having
started the first Out-and-Out new
Henderson enterprise in couple of
decades. They are to be commended
and congratulated, and the city also
zones in for some fluctuations
that the longtime trend in the OPP
poSite direction is at least arrested.
As Piedmont cities and towns

SUCCESS of thea, we have for years
wondered why Henderson would
not be just as good location for
this type of industry. and why it
could not be just as successful here
as elsewhere. Not a single one of

Protest The Canal

President Roosevelt returns from
an inspection Of the Panama Canal
with the conviction and the &c
ommendation that the nations de-
lenses of that vital artery OF LEA
traffic should and must be IN
creased. With which we offer one
hundred percent agreement.
Almost anything that calls Tor
the spending Of money will get MI
FDRs okay, but what he has
recommended in this inst2nce Is Il
mere bagatelle and scarcely even
pocket change by compa iSOn with
what he is accustomed to ask.
The canal is 50 far away and SO
very few of our people have ever
visited it that they have little con-
ception OF what it is or Of the vital
link it is in the chain of national
defense. But for that big ditch we
would be compelled to maintain
two fleets the size OF, that now IN
the Pacific. 1t would probably De
better if we had the two OF them,
even with the canal, but they would
be essential without it il we were
to take adequate precaution.
We should like to see all the
money that is necessary spent on
the Panama Canal, but al the same
time. Mr.. President, try to econo-
mize somewhere else 10 get the
cash, and don't lay on new taxes,
new and increased budgctary items
and new debts to do it. That will
not be required if the proper Ell
tort is made to avoid it.

Paying Honest Debts

Every few months the city or the

warding of money to New York
banks to pay off existing obllga-
tons. How fortunate they are able
10 Go that, instead of continually
rolling up new debts and going fur
the into the hole.

Ups would Go that, the whole peo-
pie would be better off.
The county carries the distinction
of having never defaulted on any
debt service obligation In only one
or two instances did the city fall
into the difficulty Of missing out
even during the worst of Inc depres-
SION.
The arrangements of both govern
mental units are deserving of
thanks for the records they have
made, but don't forget old John G.
Public, who has struggled to pay
his tax levy through thick and
thin, and has sacrificed in ether
directions to hold his head above

cut in default.

equally of cities, towns and state
and national governments Us we'll aS

rolls and to do the Smelling out OF
taxes to keep his work going. But
those who have been and are doing
the paving know something about
all this. and have about reached the
end in their ability to support the
multiplying beneficences Of pater-
naliStic government.
To listen to the arguments ol
these asitatorS, for they are lhal
inst as truly as Gne those whom
they are pleased to designate as
demagogues, one would think that
opponents of increased heavy spend
me are the enemies OF the pubic
schools. That is cmphatically not
true of at least some foes Of Fed
eral aid to education. These latter,
moreover. are capable OF equally
as much sincerity in their Stano
as are those who are pleased to de-
nounce Slem.
MI. Douglass speaks freely OF
"demagogues" who he says oppose
Federal aid Ito gain approval OF
uniformed and unthinking people
and to further their quest for Office
or other positions OF leadership.
One can but wonder if he has ever
heard the old saying that those VINO
live in glass houses should not throw
stones.
EXpend .C>lres for education IN
New York State are often cited IN
with North Carolina and
other states il the South, but they
say nothing ol the TACT, DIS cited by
one New Yorker, that some OF our
cities and school districts are bank
rrlpt over it,. They DO not speak
OF the recent mass meeting IN
Albany when some ten thousand or
more citizens came from over the
State to raise their voices in revolt
against proposed tax increases.
We reiterate, we are just as SIN
cere as these advocates OF Federal
aid are that the best possible schools
be provided, that Ia cherS be paid
the highest salaries the taxpayers
can afford to provide, and that more
money pe maze available if and
when it can be had. But our
notion is that the State, not the
Federal government, should be the
unit for support of education, and
when you depart from that and
demand ana accept government
a,oney you may as well prepare to
surrender d goodly portion OF the
control OF your schools and to shell
out additional taxes to take care OF
expenditures.
There is already far too much
OF power IN Wash

Federal Aid To
Education

l
to be shot at need not be surprised
if they become targets. AND those
who dare to oppose the powerful
propaganda and agitation now under
way for Federal aid to education
are doing just that.
Nevertheless. opponents of this
trend have as much right to their
say and to their opinions as the pro-
feSsionalS who are busying them
selves about it. and if such oppon-
entS are lobbyists and dema-
gogueS". which are terms employed
they are none the less than those
who are trying to stampede Con-
gresS into action favorable to Fed
eral aid
Dr.. Mcdonald. in his introduction
OF the subject at the forum here
"Wednesday night. said the issue re-
solves itself into two questions,
namely. whether or not the Federal
government is partly responsible
for education OF children. and, if
so, Shold it appropriate part OF the
money for the purpose. OF course,
if the first proposal IS answered in
the affirmative the second must be.
We should like it 10 be under
stood once and for all that we are
strongly in favor OF the best pos
Sible facilities tor education that
the public can afford. Those who
may be inclined TO fret at views
set forth here will find abundant
evidence to support this statement
il they are Interested to that ex-
tent.
Federal aid to education means as
much as anything else, ii not more,
that the schools Will be controlled
in part from Washington at the very
outset, and in the end almost entire
~ so. In the vast qualifications
of government aid. already all too
extensive, where is there single
activity that is not intcrtered with
by bureaus and commissions in the
national capital?
Where portions Of road projects
are financed by the government,
everything has to be approved in
Washington. Public works projects
Of one kind or another are treated
in the same fashion, as witness the
rigid supervision Of the construction
OF the new high school. the sewage
disposal system. WPA-aded jobs
and others, in Henderson, by Fed
eral agents. And it will be so with
the schools. Even the AAA refused
to help out the tobacco farmers last
fall until they voted to give the
Federal government absolute con-
troll over production.
Fear that the schools might be
used as propaganda vehicles for the
government finds justification in
the very fact that Dr.. Mcdonald
himself, whose department, as we
understand it, is partly financed by
government funds, is spending some
of his time in carrying on propa-
ganda for this proposal. Other
similar activities could be cited as
we'll.
Another consideration is the mat
ter of increased spending. The mere
fact that money comes from Wash
ington does not mean that some
thing is being received for nothing
oh no. 1t may seem that way to the
good doctor, who more often than
otherwise has been on the receiving
and spending end rather than on
the taxing and paying end, and
who so far as we have ever heard
has no pcr@onal knowledge what
