This is the story of a fifty-sil

Of the Bethel Community in Gull

for the war effort az well as a good

A son, Homer 10; a daughter

girls, supply Mrs, Lowe with all
the available help.
It's practically a full-time job

Her job has not been bed of ro-

complain when the going gets
tough.
just few weeks ago, for exam

barns by fire, including a second
printing of the leaf stored there,
Already she is planning to rebuild
as soon as materials are available
and she has turned in the scrap
metal from the fire to the local
salvage drive.
Mrs Lowe says that the chief
contribution her family can make
n to raise as much food as pos
ssihle for the family and relieve
the market of that demand. Profits
made from tobacco will be APP
piled on the family's debts.
Three years ago, Mrs. Lowe came
in possession Of her farm by pay

she said, "because while we woa't

the war effort for Victory, all citi-
zens and institutions are eooperat-
ing. The Federal government is
calling schools of all types, not
only to teach patriotism, but to
practice it.
The special work of the school
is to teach, inspire, and eneour-
age youth to play its part in all
phases of the war effort. To this
end Capitol Hill has pledged 100
per cent support and daily we
are making every effort to reach
this goal. Thus far, we have the
American Junior Red Cross Chap
ter at our school. The pupils are
very enthusiastic over their pro-
jects that they are working on
this month. The Chapter consists
Of three groups. the GA, 6B, and
the ga. The groups have spon-
sored Clothes hanger Campaign
and they are making a number Of
articles to sell at the Jr. Red Cross
Bazaar. The proceeds from the
sale of the hangers are to buy a
table for a Day Room at Camp
Robinson and other articles to
help heautify the Day room for
our soldiers.
The Junior Red Cross Chapter
believes in service for others, for
Cur country, our community, and
our school. In health Of mind and
body to fit us for greater service
and for better human relations
throughout the world. Capitol
Hills pupils have joined the
American Junior Red Cross to
help achieve its aims by working
together with members everywhere
The Chapters project for January
and February will be to make an
afghan.
We have also on our program
"The Safety PATROL Charles Coley,
captain; Nose Jones, LIST Lieut.,
and Claude Smith, End Lieut., who
very systematically took over the
tin-can drive. Each room respond
cd in grand style. Nose Jones act
ed as secretary and Willie Briggs
Wilbert Smith, Charles Coley. and
Claude Smith gathered the cans
from the pupils and weighed
them, giving each room credit for
the number Of pounds of tin that
the pupils brought. The cans
were all cleaned, tops and labels
removed and flattened. They made
a beautiful silvery appearance as
they were piled in a heap. The
pupils were quite enthusiastic
about their success. We are
sure that this was quite a help
in our share of the war effort.
The War bond and Stamp rally
is held every Monday at our school
Generally, two PATRONS come to
the school and sell at booth in
our main hall.
Our next campaign is to be the
Hosiery Salvage" We are sure
to go over the top with this.

Mrs. America uses more pepper
and mustard than she does any
other spices. The office of Price
Administrators Consumer Divi-
sion reports that we have a two
years supply Of pepper on hand.
And the country's 194l mustard
crop was a good one. supplying
for more seed than is usually need
eel in any one year. So these two
''keyo spices certainly present no
problem
What of the others? Nutmeg for
your custards and spice cakes,
cloves to dot your hams and to
make your yearly supply of pickle,
cinnamon for breakfast toast, va
nilla to flavor your cakes and
cookies. :. these and many others
are still available.
But remember that these spices
come to you from Zanzibar, from
the West Indies, from other distant
corners of the globe They are
brought to you in ships which must
also carry strategic war materials.
So handle your family spice
cabinet with care Measure that
teaspoon of cinnamon right into
the cake better, don't waste any of
it. Don't help yourself to more
mustard and ketchup than you're
really going to eat. Maybe
little less vanilla in a favorite
recipe would do for while.

other way to "stretch' the spices

trat1OnS, Mrs. Riddle painted
heartening picture of the wom-
ans role in times of crisis, when
she left her duties in the home to
do deeds of mercy. Mrs. Riddle
pointed out that the woman there
by not only performed great hu-
manitarian services in u h
emergencies, but also elevated
her status.
Fl Bo4-r shrdl cmfw
Of perhaps the most famous of
all nurses, Florence Nightingale,
Mrs. Riddle said, "she faced the
perils of the battles to offer sani-
tation to soldiers, and thereby
set the standard of nursing as it
is maintained today"
Health should not be assumed
and treated as a side issue in our
colleges, the speaker warned.
"It emphasizes, as does education,
individual difference and is as
simple as it seems to the aver
age individual. Nursing touches
every family in the world, and
everyone should have proper in
depreciation of its work in this
crisis
Mrs. Riddle informed her list
eners that nursing schools are
raising their standards and seek
only those young women of ad-
vanced educational training and
ability-"only women of super
ior intellect can qualify" she
concluded, "for the curriculum
aims at social adjustment and is
designed to give nurses we'll
rounded trailing for the vital
work they must do"
Accompanying Mrs. Riddle was
the head of the Homer G. Phil
