An interesting variation of that
popular American feast, the chick
en- dinner, is offered this week by
Mrs. Russell Boyd of Browning,
Mont. Mrs. Boyd calls her recipe
simply Chicken Dinner, but
French or Italian chef undoubtedly
would have given it a more exotic
designation such as "Poulet Ia
Midi" or Chicken Lombardy" or
something suggesting the SUMMER
regions of France and Italy. The
recipe calls for the flavorful addi-
ton of celery, onions, green pepper
and tomatoes to the chicken. and
the cooked chicken is served with
spaghetti and tomato sauce.

A HOt-Dish Picnic
By BETTY CROCKER

Instead of the sandwiches. cold meat.
deviled eggs and such, that one usually
carries to picnic, have you ever tried
taking one hot casserole dish as the
piece de resistance OF your outdoor
feast? 1t makes the picnic seem lots
more like a real meal, and it is not
so difficult to manage either.
Take your casserole dish directly
from the oven and wrap it Immediately
in many thicknesses of newspaper
then wrap an auto robe or army blan-
ket around the newspapers. You'll find
that your dish will be as hot when
you unwrap it several hours later as
it was when you took 1t from the oven.
Here Is a picnic built around just
such a casserole dish for this season
of green corn and fresh ripe tomatoes.

FOR SANDWICHES

would be very acceptable with this

Approximately rs Pct.
Over That of 1880.

West jefferson has shown an
increase in population, of ap-
proximately Is percent during the
past ten years, according to cen

had not been recorded in the 1910
census, and urged that they re-
port to her in order that they
may be included.
Figures for jefferson, Lansing,

"a lay Will
Be Poppy Day
Auxiliary Will Sponsor Sale
Of These Symbolic Red
Flowers Here.

Tribute will be paid by millions
of Americans Saturday, to the ma
tons World War dead. The day
will be Poppy Day throughout
the country and little red peoples
symbolic Of patriotic sacrifice will
be worn in thousands of cities
and towns. The American Legion
Auxiliary has approximately H.
100000 ready for distribution, &C
cording to Mrs. P. G. Wright, To-
cal poppy chairman.
Arrangements for the observ-
ance of Poppy Day here have
been completed by Mrs. Wright's
committee. Women of the Auxil-
larry, aided by volunteers from
other organizations, will be on
the streets early Saturday morn
ing with baskets of the memorial
flowers. No price will be asked
for the poppies, but in exchange
for them contributions will be re-
ceived for the welfare and relief
work of the Auxiliary among dis
abled veterans and needy fami'
lies of veterans.
The peoples which will be dis
tributed here were made by dis
abled veterans at Oteen Veterans
Hospital. The making of these
flowers has given employment
during the winter and spring tx
many veterans unable to do Other
work, and has helped fill tedious
hours of idleness for them. The
peoples are crepe paper replicas
OF the wild peoples Of France
which grew in such profusion or
the World War battle front.
Contributions, above the actual
cost of the peoples, will go into
the welfare funds of the local
Auxiliary Unit to be expended
to meet local needs during the
coming year. These contributions
are the principal source Of sup
port for the welfare work being
carried out continuously by the
Auxiliary.
"When the people of Ashe coun-
ty put on their peoples Saturday
they will be both honoring the
war dead and aiding the living
sufferers from the conflict" said
Mrs. Wright.

Germans Marching Forward;

Nazi Forces Nearing Coast
With Portion of Allied

The outlook for the allied for

Nazis forces continued their
march deep into France and to-
ward the English channel. How
ever, reports indicated that the
speed at which the German war
machine travelled Monday and
Tuesday had been slightly de-
creased.
The German forces claim to
have reached the coast and cut
off one million soldiers be-
hind the lines. The English claim
this is exaggerated; they admit
however, that the situation is
very serious, as a result of the
extensive German drive for the
past few days.
The allies, with their backs tc

against a new German advance
which spread a path of fire
