COMMUNITY LIBRARY

The regular meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Commun-
ity Library was held at the home
of Mrs. Robert Cameron, on Mon
day mite, January rs. Regular re-
ports showed the association in
good condition, with treasury bal
ances of $15.83, a membership OF
80 persons, a circulation in last 2
months of 125 adult books and %
children's books. Numerous dona-
lions have been received, especial
ly some good Juvenile. books, and
the total of books now owned by the
association is 1877, with another
large donation promised for the
near future by interested friends.
1t was deemed advisable by the
Board that hereafter all children
wishing to become borrowers should
have their parents sign their cards.
When children borrow books, they
and their parents will be responsible
for the safe return of the books.
Two books are missing from the Lii
brary and as books borrowed must
be accounted for, an extra search
by parents and subscribers will be
appreciated. These books are Three
Plays, by Dos Passos; Captain
John Smith" by Forbes. Juvenile

The 22nd of March was desig-
mated as the time for the general
annual meeting of the Library AS
ISOLATION. All adult subscribers are
expected to attend, and to elect

following year.
The officers of the Board were
elected to serve as committee to
draft an amendment to the consti-
tuition and Bylaws regarding the
number of board of directors, and
the necessary quorum for conduct
ing business. This amendment will
be voted upon at the February %
meeting.

tional, the educational background.
Discussion followed. The meeting

MEAT RATIONING HINTS WORTH
REMEMBERING

How to buy meat--When meat RAJ
tioning comes, don't hold out for
your favorite cuts. There may not
be enough of them to go around. Be-
sides, as Mrs. Julia Kiene, Manager
of Westinghouse Home Economics
Institute, points out, there are more
than ESQ retail cuts of beef, pork,
lamb, veal and their by-products to
choose from. All have approximate
ely the same fool value, and that's
what counts in keeping the health
of the family up to par.
A trick to meat rationing--Br
UP on cuts of meat and you've mas
tered the big trick of coping with
meat rationing. Mrs. Julia Kiene,
Manager of Home Economics De-
partment at Westinghouse, explains
that with the exception of loin end,
short loin, rib and ground round
which may be cooked with dry heat,
that is broiling or roasting, all other
cuts Of meat require moist heat
which means simmering, stewing
and braising.
Stretching" The Meat Budget
When it comes to stretching" the
meat budget, you can't beat the
cheaper cuts. Not only are they kind
to the pocketbook, but, as Westing-
house home economists point out,
hey will be easy on the ration card.
Take flank steak, for example. It's
homeless, which makes it an excel
lent buy. To make it more tender
and to shorten cooking time, have
the butcher "score" it.
Roasts Go Further--Roasts will
go further If cooked in low-tem-
perature oven, say Westinghouse
home economists. The low tempera-
lure reduces cooking losses, produce
es more uniform results, and the
bones and fat don't get charred.
Don't scar meat--it causes shrink
age, and none of us can afford that
in these days.
Tops in Health--For the duration
at least, forget that you don't like
liver, pork liver especially. 1t is tops
on the health ladder, is least ex-
pensive to buy and isn't likely to
be rationed. Cut off the tough mem
Drane around the outer edge and
see if it doesn't make it more ten
der. This tough membrane is one of
the causes contributing to pork
liver's unpopularity, Westinghouse
home economists say.
Minute Steaks--Secret of cooking
minute steaks, WESTINGHOUSE home
economists have found, is to have
skillet hot, use only enough melted
at to keep steak from sticking and,
of course, keep the pan uncovered.
Just as soon as one side is brown,
turn and quickly brown the other
side. Otherwise, steaks will get very
tough.

"Thy going out and
and thy coming in"

TIME worlds youth, going out from
their homes or from accustomed
and peaceful occupations to give
all they have and all they can be
trained to give in militant service
for the preservation of freedom for
mankind need to know something of
the profound truths which can sus-
tain them through every ordeal.
Called into such service many are
turning from what may have been
their careless and happy ways of
living to seek a higher power which
is adequate to meet their present
need for protection and guidance.
If, through the demands of the hour,
men seek God, and in finding Him
learn the meaning and the nature of
Life, the struggle to overcome evil
conditions will have brought an in
calculable recompense.
The Scriptures, which show the
long human search after God and
the spiritual idea which expresses
Him, abound with promises of pro-
lection to those who look to Him and
actively accept the spiritual facts. In
the one hundred and twenty-first
Psalm q, - is given this assurance
of constant projections: "The Lord
shall preserve thee from all evil. i.
The Lord shall preserve Thy going
out and thy coming in from this time
forth, and even for evermore." This
beautiful song may have been sung
by the pilgrims when they came to
the holy city, as an assurance of pro-
lection along their way and of their
safe returning to their homes.
This promise, however, admits of
a wider application to the going out
and the coming in connected with all
the interests of human experience.
AS one goes out in the morning and
returns safely later on, guided and
shielded by Spirit, Love, so i'm the
present day those who are going out
to face the grim warfare for human
rights may confidently look to God,
the heavenly Father of all, to bring
them safely through the victorious
struggle for right and justice, and to
enable them to prove safety in the
midst of apparently grave dangers.
Christ Jesus, in his unparalleled
triumph over evil, repeatedly proved
the ever-present power of God, in
finite good, to direct and preserve
his going out and his coming in. On
one occasion, as recorded by Luke

Temessee's Boar and Bear Hunt
Tennessee's annual wild boar an

TennesSee'S annual wild boar and
bear hunt was held this year as
usual in the Cherokee National for
est, the Tennessee department Of
conservation announces. This event,
unique in the annals of American
hunting, is fast becoming an institu-
ton. The boars are descendants of
genuine European wild tuskers
which escaped from a private pre-
serve many years ago, and which
have multiplied and thrived. The
hunt, or rather series of hunts, were
open to both resident and non-resi-
dent sportsmen, supervised jointly
by the department of conservation
and the United States forest service.
There were nine bear hunts, with
from 10 TO is hunters in each party,
and nine wild boar hunts with from
A to 10 hunters in each party. Fees
for each party ranged from $40 to
$40, plus an additional $35 to $40 for
dogs and guides. Hunters were chos-
en- by lot at Nashville.

Step to Rear, Please -
(, Isn't Helping Much Now

Nationwide gasoline rationing,
coupled with rubber rationing which
already has brought SO per cent
increase in bus and streetcar traffic
during the last year, brings to cit
les today their greatest transporta-
ton problems.
Most important Of these involve
providing additional facilities for
riders and speeding up of traffic
movement.
Passenger traffic in the cities in
creased from IS per cent in Cleve-
land to 275 per cent in Amarillo,
with greatest increases occurring in
smaller "boom towns" The conduc-
tors "step to the rear, please" fails
to help in many cities, and new
buses and streetcars, and even new
lines, have been added. Detroit,
which owns its own street railway
system, put on 230 new vehicles and
San Diego added 1871.
Old equipment-both buses and
streetcars-was brought back into
use in several cities; Detroit, for
example, renovated $50 streetcars.
Despite rising costs of operating
public transit systems, caused by
increased wages and additional
equipment, these utilities have en-
tered period of prosperity through
greater paying loads, reduction in
stops and faster operation. Wage
increases of from three to 30 cents
an hour were reported by some of
the % cities, but no fare increases
were reported as effected or in pros
pect.
Transportation administrators or
committees have been appointed in
II of the % cities to handle transit
problems, and all % have made spe-
cial efforts to promote more effec-
tive use of private automobiles, par
ticularly through group riding.
School hours and municipal office
hours have been staggered in sew
eral localities and business hours
in a few, though the chief factor in
spreading riding peaks, according to
the survey, has been full 24-hour
operation of war production plants.

When Vaudeville Went Out
Then Radio Break Entered

The collapse of vaudeville worked
hardship on all entertainers {.
but 1t was the biggest "break"
Horace Heidi ever had.
Horace was ''big name" in those
days, but he has a digger name"
now.
Heidi hit the old Palace theater
"tops" in the vaudeville cir
cult. He became so popular that he
was invited to take his band to Eu-
rope on tour. They played in every
large city on the continent and even
appeared at the Paris Opera house.
When the band came back to the
States, vaudeville was dead. Heidi
couldn't get a booking of any kind.
The band got together, talked it
over and decided radio was the
thing. But the orchestra was

working over.
The band was signed as the house
unit at San Francisco theater.
Here for two years changes were
made. Different orchestrations were

Homemakers Told Method
Of Fireproofng Fabrics

Fireprooing clothing, curtains
and other household fabrics is quite
simple,
Mrs. Bernice Clayton, specialist
In home Improvement for the A. and
M. College Extension service, says
the prevention-wise homemaker can
fireproof any cotton fabrics which
water will not damage. This is
done by dipping them in a solution
Of borax and boric acid and water.
1t is necessary to redip the cloth
whenever it is laundered, because
the solution washes out.
"Make a solution of seven ounces
of borax, three ounces of boric acid,
and two quarts of hot water" the
specialist directs. keep stirring it
until the water looks clear. Then
dip the article you want to fireproof
into the solution just as if you were
rinsing it in water. Wiring it out,
hang it up to dry, and press in the
usual way with warm IRON"
Here is one caution the specialist
offers. The cloth must be dry when
it is dipped-for otherwise the solu-
ton will be diluted and much less
effective.
1t is practical to fireproof such
things as mans work suit this
way, or curtains for the kitchen, a
cotton rug which lies in front of the
living room fire, cloth pot filters,
an ironing board cover, or cotton
insulation, Mrs. Clayton says. She
adds that it is also possible to fire.
proof large articles of cloth such as
upholstery, slip covers, or large rugs.
