Our Greatest Enemy

Our number one enemy is cancer, be-
cause one of every eight of us is doomed
to die of this dreaded disease. This means
that 100000 Americans now living will
die of cancer unless we act to conquer it
or to bring it under rigid control.
From Pearl Harbor to VI Day, 1884,
476 Americans were slain by Germans and
japanese ON the battlefields. During this
same period, 607, 1913 Americans lost their
lives on the home front as victims of can

underway. Pc your part.

Women On The Job

Time was when any wisecrack about
the weaker sex was sure to bring broad
smile of superiority into the faces of male
listeners. But times have changed. The
weaker" sex isn't weaker any more-and
if the truth were told they haven't been
that way for long, long time.
Women have proven themselves the
equal of men in thousands of ways. Dur
ing the war they did mans job, tending
machines in war plants, cutting pulpwood
or tilling the soil, not to mention the jobs
they did so we'll as WACS and WAVES
and SPARS and members of the Marine
Corps.
Now, in peace, they are quietly and
without fussing carrying on the all-im-
portant job of keeping Americas homes in
order. AS housewives, American women
are recognized by national manufacturers
as the shrewdest purchasing agents on
earth. Because they buy prudently and
shop carefully they are helping to keep
prices down i. and thus throwing their
combined efforts into the fight against in
11aL1Ou bSCduSe Luey are CO4ICcAuCu Will
the health of their husbands and children
they have influenced American manufac-
turers to package foods in sanitary paper
and paperboard containers.
Because wholesalers and retailers ap-
preciate that American women know a
good thing when they see it, they use mil
lions of tons of newsprint annually for all
kinds of advertising aimed at reaching the
women of America.
Because they recognize the Importance
to health, to home and to their bank ac-
counts of proper packaging and shipping,
the American women stand behind the
pulp and paper industry's effort to pro-
duce enough paper, paperboard and other
pulpwood products to meet present peak
demands.
The peeled top quality pulpwood so
urgently needed by mills in this area NOW
is testimonial to the good business judg-
ment of American women.

Too Many Scraps

It has been said that five million hungry
families in other parts of the world could
live on the scraps from American tables.
The question is: How are we going to
get those scraps to them?
When we scrape the plates to feed the
dog, or reluctantly throw good food into
the garbage, we may feel sense of guilt
over throwing away food when there is
such great need for it all over the world.
Yet there seems to be nothing to do about
it.
It is true that we can't gather up our
leftovers and ship them abroad. But we
can contribute to starving humanity by
seeing to it that we don't have so many
scraps-that we buy less food so there will
be less left over If each housewife in our
country would make it habit to buy only
enough food to satisfy the minimum re-
quirements of her family, instead OF over
buying to meet their maximum appetite,
the amount saved would be enormous.

Teamwork Needed

Recently weSwatched a number of
small boys organizing baseball game.
When they were determined what posi-
sions each one would play, two of the boys
yelled, "Pitcher!" at about the same mo-
ment. When the other players decided
which of the two had shouted first, the
loser walked off the field and said that he
wouldn't play ~
Somehow the scene reminded us of
Russia walking out of the United Nations
council meeting For Russia has shown,
ever since the war ended, that although
she would like to participate in the UNO
activities, she won't play except under her
own terms.
Russia's greatest weakness, so far as
international relations are concerned, is
her apparent ignorance of teamwork. She
insists on playing a lone game, whether
the other members of the team like it or
not.

Clean Up Weeks

We are happy that the town has set
aside two weeks as cleanup periods. This
paper has been advocating spring clean
ing, since the first breath of spring was
felt.
We hope that everyone will cooperate
to make this cleanup period, April 15-
80, successful. If we will do our part, ma
ture will more than do hers in making this
beautiful town and county.
Unsightly rubbish can spoil the looks
of an otherwise beautiful roadside scene.
We hope that every property owner in this
county will make some effort to cleanup
his premises. And, of course, as we clean
up, it is good idea to paint-up and fix-up
too.

Building A Better World

During the past war, many fought and
died that we might have better world
In which to live. Many others, who tenn
porarily gave up their opportunities for
an education to fight for the principles for
which the country stands, are now back to
take up where they left off.
The government of this country is Of
fering substantial assistance to those who
want to continue with their education and
this is as it should be. Can the colleges
fail to do their part by providing facilities?
We think not. And we are happy over the
fact that the Methodists are observing Col
lege Advance Week to raise funds needed

Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT

The first spring seasoning
plants beginning to appear in
gardens and markets can give a
lift to fish and egg dishes in the
French manner, suggests Miriam
Birdseye, extension nutritionist
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Scramble eggs and ONE
lets, or fish, baked, broiled of
fried, may be served seasoned
with mixture of chopped herbs.
A blend of the first shoots of
chives or young onion, fresh
thyme and parsley and such dried
herbs as basil, sweet marjoram
and summer savory is especially
good in spring omelets, or scram-r
bled eggs. Chopped dill leaves
and celery tips also may be used
in the mixture. The herbs may
be added directly to the eggs, or,
for more pronounced flavor,
allowed to soak short time in
the milk which is added to the
eggs.
For mackerel aux fines herbes,
mix a fourth cup of fat with
minced sprigs of parsley, fennel,
mint and thyme and salt, pepper,
cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread
the seasoned fat over the fish,
which has been split down the
back. Then broil or fry. After
removing the cooked fish to the
platter, add two tablespoonful
of orange juice to the drippings
in the pan and pour over the fish
before serving. Fresh succulent
leaves of dill in sour cream give
a delicious flavor to mackerel or
other fish.
Pockets may be practical as
we'll as decorative, clothing spec
ialists say. House dresses, ap-
rons, play suits and garden or
work clothes will be more con-
venient and satisfactory if pock-
cts are made useful.
On the skirt, pockets should
be placed where the hands slip
in naturally. Because arms diff
fer in length, the location of the
pocket needs to be tried out be-
fore final stitching is done. A
patch pocket is more accessible
to the hand if the top is slanted
down towards the side rather
than cut straight across, and they
are less likely to catch on hand
les and door knobs.

Country Towns Solve
Housing

The housing shortage is general, but
the suffering is most severe in cities, the
big cities. Apparently city people don't
know what to do about it.
The small towns have their housing
problem, too, but they know what to do
about it. They convert corn cribs into
houses in Iowa; they use quonset huts in
California; they build with logs in Wis
consin; and they are building homes with
stone, plywood, native lumbers, etc.
The cities are helpless largely because
of building restrictions which do not al
low certain types of construction. Ply
wood cannot be used, nor can prefabricated
houses be set up. Brick concrete and steel
must be used. Houses must be large and
high priced in certain areas. But in the
country, the people will have homes just
as they have always had them-whether
they are made of brick, cement, wood,
sod, adobe, or log.

Fishing Season
Dates Are Cited

Raleigh - Sport fishing for
warm water species in the in
land waters of the Piedmont and
Eastern Carolina will be closed
from April 6 through May 10,
both dates inclusive. Season
runs through April ID in noun
tain counties, according to a re-
hinder from DR.. Willis King,
State fish biologist.
During the period it will be
illegal to fish by any means in
any of the creeks and small riv-
ers of the state. However, lakes
and larger appointments des-
ignated for commercial and year
round fishing will not be effect
ed. c. D. Kirkpatrick, chief of
law enforcement for the division,
has reminded the game and fish
protectors to be alert.
BY special concession of the
Board of Conservation and De-
velopment and the North Carolina
Game Committee, fishing for all
species will be permitted during
the Easter Holidays, April 20 to
April %, inclusive, on all areas
open to public fishing. The trout
season opens April Is and ex-
tends through August 81 in all
sections of the western counties
except the cooperative wildlife
management areas of the national
forests. These areas open some
time after May /.
With warm spells whetting the
urge, coastal fishing got off to
an early start this season and
some sizeable catches have been
reported. Confined by the clos
ed season, sport fishermen are
expected to try their hand around
Oregon Inlet and Cape Hatteras,
where the big red drum are re-
ported running the best they
have in several years. In the in
land waters, fishermen will be
showing off from the IVA i'm
poundments in the west and
from Lake Phelps, East Lake,
Waccamaw and others where the
above restrictions on the season
are not applied.

the increasing number of students.
If we fail these boys and girls now and
do not see to it that the colleges are pre-
pared to take care of them, we are failing
to do our part in helping them to build
better world. Every member of the Meth
odist church should do his share toward
raising the funds asked for in the "Col-
