KENT FIREMEN
AT MAGNOLIA
10th Meeting of Kent COun

Held at Magnolia
ELECT EXECUTIVE

This seems to be the busy season
of the year and apparently affect
ed the attendance of the firemen
at the 10th meeting of the Kent
County Firemen's Association held
at Magnolia last week, when only
about fifty were present. Smyrna,
Hartly and South Bowers were not
represented and five officers and di-
rectors were absent. Previous to
the business session, the wives of
the firemen served dinner to the
visitors in Red Mems Hall. Harry
c. Tee of Harrington, offered the
invocation. At the close of the
dinner, the ladies were given a ris-
ing vote of thanks, then the flremen
retired to the new fire house for
the business session. This being
the first meeting of the county as
sociation in Magnolia since the new
fire quarters were completed, many
congratulations were extended to
the host company on its modern
two story brick building. A meeting
room, lavatory and engine quarters
are located on the first floor, with
small auditorium and game room
containing three pool tables on the
second floor. President ]. Ralph
McIlvaine in welcoming the dele

adding the company had beaten
most everyone in the art of quoits
and now had to enter another field
of sports. State Secretary w. W.
Pettyjohn responded.
During the roll call for compan-
les the delegates were given a
package of national defense cards
and check for their portion of the
2 per cent insurance fund which is
paid out by the Kent County Levy
Court.
Chief Tom Baker, county re re-
corder, said he had reports from

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. Is
Matthew M. Nicely, Governor of
West Virginia, was today installed
as supreme governor Of the Loyal
Order of Moose-the highest elec-
tive office in this fraternity. The in
stalling officer was U. S. Senator
James ]. Davis, director general Of
the Moose. Governo- Neely's duties
will begin September /, and will
continue for one year. He was
unanimously elected to this Office
by the delegates to the fifty-third
annual convention of the Moose
Order at Indianapolis.
Governor Neely was born at
Grove, West Virginia. He was edu-
Gated in the free schools of his
state; at Salem College and the
West Virginia University. From the
latter he received the degree of
Bachelor of Arts in 1901 and the
degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1902.
The degree Of Doctor of Laws was
conferred upon him by Waynesburg
College in 1888, and by the West
Virginia University in 1941.
He was admitted to practice law
in 1902, and ever since he has been
actively engaged in the practice of
his profession, except when devot-
ing his time to the performance of
official duties.
He was Mayor Of Fairmont, 1908
10; clerk, West Virginia House of
Delegates, 1911-13; member of Con-
gress from the First District Of
West Virginia, 1881; United
States Senator from West Virginia,
1923-29; and continuously from 1881
to January 13, 1941, when he re
signed his seat in the Senate to be-
come the Governor of West Vir-
ginia. At the time Of his resignation

INQUIRIES ON
NEW PRODUCTS
Inquire About Origination of
Enriched FlOurs, Breads
and Other Products
CONTAIN VITAMIN "B"

General use of enriched flour and
bread have brought numerous in
quiries about these new food pro-
ducts to the desk of Miss Pearl
Macdonald, nutritionist at the Uni
versity of Delaware. To those ask
ing about origination of enriched
fours and breads Miss Macdonald
replies: Modern milling processes
were developed to make the white
flour which people had come to like
best long before researc proved te
value of minerals and vitamins dis
carded during milling operations.
Diet studies show that many people
lack these minerals and vitamins-
so essential to lasting good health.
And since the vitamins and certain
of the minerals now are being pro-
duced commercially in scientific
laboratories at comparatively low
cost, far-seeing nutrition xperts de-
cided to replace certain vitamin B
complexes and iron that had been
lost in the milling processes. They
secured the cooperation of mill
ers and bakers and the present-day
enriched flour and bread is the re-
suit. Enriched bread looks and
tastes te same as regular white
bread. The same is true of enrich
ed flour which can be used the
same as regular white flour with
out changing recipes. The energy
and protein content of regular and
enriched flours and breads are the
same. Enriched f1ours and breads
offer an easy-to-get way of obtain
ing health-giving vitamin B and
iron. But Miss Macdonald points
out the need for including milk,
cheese, eggs, vegetables, fruits and
meat in the daily diet because the
enriched bread and flour doesn't
give all the vitamin B and iron
needed by the average person. She
emphasizes that enriched flour and
bread are foods, not medicines or
cure-alls. Wholel lwheat bread and
flour contain vitamins and minerals
in their natural forms. People who
like whole wheat bread will obtain
their wheat vitamins and minerals
withut changing to enriched bread.

Country Weekending-
The Curse of Summer

THE time of year designated as
summer and covering usually,
the months of June, July and
August, brings a curse other than
simply hot weather = the country
weekend.
Instead of remaining calmly in
the city in cozy apartment read
ing a good book and listening to
the radio, many's the weak-willed
man who feebly accepts an invita-
tion to rural districts. More fool
him, writes Ted Shane in the Au-
gust issue of Cosmopolitan maga-
zine. He doesn't know what he's in
for. Your old pal "Bill", says
Shane, is probably the kind who
wants you either to help weed the
garden, reshingle the roof, drain
the swamp or help lift the mort
gage.
If, on the other hand your host
happens to have a large estate, a
stable of horses, several tennis
courts, and a strong heart, Shane
warns that before the weekend has
even started you'll be worn out
from too much exercise.
And your hostess. The only time
you'll see light shine in her eyes
is the moment you say goodbye,
Shane forbodingly informs his
readers. Then once you've gone, her
husband will very likely be on the
other end of conversation run
ming "How could you invite
that prime louse?" Country week.

him the soothing click of subway
wheels in July. There's nothing like
it, he says.

Supreme Governor Neely's rise in
the Moose has been phenomenal. In
1889, he was chairman of the Rules
and Order Committee, and was ap-
pointed chief justice of the Supreme
Forum, the highest judicial tribunal
in the fraternity. He was named
supreme prelate in 1910, and at the
annual convention of the Order in
Des Moines in July of that year, he
became supreme junior governor.
He was responsible for the initia-
tion of the largest class Of candi-
dates initiated at any Moose lodge
in 1941-a class of 904, at Charles
ton, West Virginia.
Governor Nicely, in addition to be-
ing a life member of the Moose, is
also member of Phi Sigma Kappa,
Phi Beta Kappa, and Delta Chi fra
ternities. He is a Mason (thirty-
second degree), a life member and
past exalted ruler of the Elks, an
Odd Fellow, and past grand chan
cellor Of the knights Of Pythias.
He is married and has three chill

Germans fought their way into
Moscow and Leningrad. they were
likely to seek to stabilize a front
there f6f the winter, quartering
their troops and bringing up sup
plies for any spring campaign they
might contemplate.
Such situation, he said, was al
most sure to bring forth some kind
of Hitler peace offer which the
Georgia Senator predicted would be
rejected both by Russia and Great
Britain.
II don't think either country is
going to entertain any peace offer"
he said. ANY peace at this time
would leave Germany in practical
control of the continent of Europe.
But Senator George did foresee a
possible lessening of effort by the
Finnish forces opposing the Rus
slams in the far northern areas
where many American supplies must
come through to the Soviet armies.
Senator George said that while
~ expected Finland to withdraw
gradually as an offensive force in
the fighting, he believed the Firms
would maintain their alliance with
Germany.
