KEEP EN- ROLLING
True COpy-TeSte-
Ralph r. Crothers,
Clerk.

The bulk of Americas civilian
automobiles must be kept running if
national breakdown in transporta-
ton is to be avoided. The tendency
to neglect such details as recapping
tires in time to salvage castings, can
be calamitous.
The American Automobile Asso-
citation states that passenger cars
registered in 1941 totaled approx
mately 100000. The registration
figure for the end of 1914 is estima-
ted at little over 25,OO0,000. That
means there has been a loss of ap-
proximately 100000 cars since
Pearl Harbor.
According to recent reliable sur
vey, automobiles are now going off
the road at the rate of more than
5000 a day. Twenty-Five per cent of
the cars remaining on the road are
l 1 years of age or older; So per cent
of the total are years or older. II
greater numbers in these groups are
taken from the highways in coming
months, we may quickly descend to,
or below, the 20,000,00O level which
has been estimated as the rock-bot-
tom figure for essential needs. The
situation becomes all the more COM
polling because there is no likelihood
of getting new car production in the
spring of 1945, as was freely predict
ed few months ago. We shall be
lucky if we get production in the
latter part of 1945.
Every automobile owner has def
mite obligation to keep his car in the
best possible condition and to hoard
the priceless miles on his speedmeter.

ter. chairman of the 1915 American
Red Cross War Fund campaign. today

each of the ten thousand Red Cross
workers now serving with the troops
overseas"

throughout the entire month, the third

Intensified needs on advancing war

of natural or war-caused emergency.
More than 100000 volunteer solicit
tors stand ready to aid in local collec-
lions in every American community.
Each will devote his time and effort
toward reaching the goal so that men
and women in military service will
know the Red Cross lis staying right
with them, right up to and beyond the
day of peace and victory. Mr.. Chester
explained.
Without personal gain or remunera-
ton, the 100000 men and women vol
unteer canvassers will represent 1856
Red Cross chapters throughout the ma
ton. Seeking from door to door those
contributions which will not be made
through factory. Office, school or thea
tire. each will carry an official identi-
fication card for the protection Of the
householder. For the most part, how
ever, such Identification will be un-
necessary because the solicitor will be
a neighbor or friend. To each contribu-
tor, he will give red, white and blue
window sticker bearing the well-known
Red Cross emblem.

The following Is bareback from
one of our subscribers, and gives his
opinion of Betty and Bob," publish
ed some months ago:
A city slicker came to town
And started to look things over,
This is the best I've ever found,
] surely am in clover.
First to the Editor man he went
To show his Bill of Fare.
Was there received with open arms,
Believing he was on the square.
He then brought out some garbled
verse,
And sketched it in the rough.
He gave such fiowery touch
That Evans agreed to print the stuff.
Next to the merchants of the town
To tell his wondrous story.
To use their names and dollars, too,
He'd bring them wealth and glory.
The story he did then unfold,
Which was his "Stock in Trade"
About a pair called Betty and Bob,
Just starting to make the grade.
Week after week it rambled on,
Regardless of the meter
Poor Betty must be sorely tried
When Bob comes home to greet her
Also the merchants must feel sad
When weekly they read DER it;
To have their names in such mess,
And know they paid good money for
it.
At last the tale came to an end,
OF course, there was nothing in it.
Which proves the time worn adage
true
"a sucker is born each minute"

The Protestant churches of the
United States, according to DR.. Leslie
B. Moss of The Church Committee on
Overseas Relief and Reconstruction,
will give $4,279,000 during the 1916
46 period for rehabilitation and
church relief in both Europe and
Asia. Most of this money will be ex-
pended by church-directed agencies.
OF this total the newly-formed World
Council of Churches will administer
$1,230,O00 for erecting temporary
structures or making temporary re-
pairs to damaged buildings so as to
house congregations, hospit s I,
schools, etc.; to train ministers and
lay workers to meet the new needs
of ravaged communities; to help es-
tablish Christian youth movements
in several lands; to help initiate vast
evangelistic programs; and to assist
chaplains serving prisoners of war
and refugees.

USE VARIETY MEATS FOR HIGH
FOOD VALUE, LOW POINT VALUE

So-called variety meats such as
liver, heart, kidney, sweetbreads,
and brains, commonly overlooked by
most housewives, offer great oppor-
tunities for getting extra high food
value for less money and few if any
red points. The housewife in search
of ways and means to vary the menu
or to relieve a shortage of ration
points, should consider the possibi-
lities Of these meats, Margaret Nc
Pheeters, University of Maryland Ex-
tension nutritionist, has suggested.
In addition to Offering the same
protein cotnent as other lean meats,
these meats have an extra dividend
CT minerals and vitamins, the nutri-
ZIONIST pointed out. Liver, heart kid
ney and brains are rich in iron. Liver
not only is rich in iron, but contains
vitamin A and vitamin d. Liver, kid
ney, heart and brains also offer vita
min B.
They will need little extra care
in cooking so as to make them appe-
tizing to the eye and tongue. They
perish more quickly than other meats
so must be cooked promptly and kept
cold before coking. Brains should be
simmered Is to 20 minutes in slight
ly sailed water to make them firm be-
fore the thin outer covering is re-
moved. Connective tissues in kidneys
should be removed when they are
cut up. Liver should be dipped in
hot water before it is diced or chop
ped so as to save the juices. Remove
the heavy outer skin of tongue after
it is cooked.
Tender meats, such as calf or lamb
kidneys or liver, brains or sweet
breads, need very little cooking.
Tongue and heart need long slow
cooking with moisture.
To prepare beef heart, remove
blood vessels, fill with soft bread
crumb stuffing, sew or skewer, and
brown. Place in a baking dish, add a
small amount of water, cover and
cook in a very moderate oven (300
degrees FL about four hours.
Pork heart may be prepared in the
same way. Or, slice it, -four the
slices, brown, add a little water, COW
er, and simmer until tender.

Maryland, points out that there are
more than $50 different tree species
growing in Maryland.

Maryland farmers harvested to-
tai of 1,713,000 acres of crops, in
Guiding truck crops, last year, COM
pared with 1,626,000 acres in 1943
and 10-year (1933-42) average of
1,644,000 acres. Large increase
were recorded in acreages of corn,
wheat and tobacco, while smaller
acreages of oats, barley, hay and
truck crops were harvested. The total
farm value of principal crops harvest
ed last year, in the state, including
truck crops, was 104,124,000, an
increase of 81 per cent above the
$40, 495, 900 value of 1913 crops. The
value of truck crops was nearly $780,
100000, about five per cent above
the 1943 figure and about % per cent
of the total value of crops produced
in 1914 This report was made by
the Maryland Crop Reporting Service

Bird in GiIded CAGE
Must Have Winq.R Room

SLOUGH, England - W.D -
Henry Jeffs was fined three dol
lars for keeping two linnets in a
cage not wide enough for them
to spread their wings. The birds
had a wing-spread of over 7hz
inches and their cage measured
ga inches long, Az inches
wide, 734 inches high.
The charge was keeping
birds other than poultry perma-
nently in such confinement"
Jeffs pleaded this type cage
was on general sale in London
where he bought them. The clerk
of the court explained their use
was lawful for birds travelling
or on show for not more than
70 hours.
Jeffs asked plaintively, "Are
parrots poultry? You can see
them in every pub in cages
which don't give them room to
stretch their wings"
