How to shorten
holiday meal fixing

II is something OF problem to serve
well-balanced meals and keep cool
at the same time these warmer days.
The trick Is TO arrange menus so that
most OF the meal preparation can be
done in the cool of the morning and
evening. We've some tips on the
subject.
ONE HOT DISH The well bal
anced menu should include at least
one hot dish. We naturally think of
soup because il is taste-tempting,
even on the warmest days. II you
like to make your own. then plan to
make it in the cool of the evening for
reheating later. Or serve one of the
delicious canned soups for even less
time in the kitchen.
PLENTY OF SALADS-Summer-
time Ia salad time. Make big ones
and plenty Of them. They can be as
hearty as you like with meat,
chicken. fish. cheese or eggs to make
them substantial. If the salad is to
be the main course, however, be sure
there are enough protein ingredients
to make il equivalent in nourishment
to the usual main course. The nice
thing about salads: all the ingredi-
ents can be prepared in advance and
all ready for the last minute slicing,
shredding and mixing. Gelatin SAL
ads can even eliminate that.
CASSEROLE DISHES-Contrary
to opinion, casserole dishes are grand
summer offerings. They can be an
all-in-one meal with only salad and
dessert needed to complete the menu.
And most of them can be cooked
ahead of time for reheating at the
last minute. Casserole dishes can
also be cooked in the morning, then
wrapped in ten or twelve thicknesses
of newspaper and kept piping hot
for the MONDAY meal.

COTTON
e YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Oct. 16 up -
In the widest break since last
July, when there was a question
of whether the price control law
would be restored, cotton futures
Wednesday slumped the daily per-
MISSILE limit of $40 on a wave of
liquidation which met only light
trade buying. Final prices were
$9.45 to $40 a bale lower.
Traders ascribed the nervous
selling to a number of reasons re-
volving about the decontrol pro-
gram. Some holders believed de-
control was in prospect and would
reserve cotton textiles from a sell
ers to a buyers market, causing
d declining prices which would be
felt in raw cotton values.
Other traders felt cotton was vul-
nerable. following the prolonged
rise since the beginning Of the war
in which the staple more than
doubled in value.

Roland Says He Doesn't
Expect School Commit
tee To Come Here

New Hanover county school Off
Gals are not anticipating an Off
cial visit by a committee appointed
on February by the State Board
of Education for the purpose Oh
making a study of school buildings
in the state, as authorized by he
solution No. 40 of the 1945 General
Assembly, H. M. Roland, superln-
tendent of schools stated yester-
day.
Sometime ago I furnished the
State Department of Education
with all available information re-
garding what little building we ex-
pect to be able to do this year, and
in view of this, 1 hardly think this
committee will find it necessary to
pay New Hanover county an Off
cial visit" Roland said.
Resolution 40
Under terms of Resolution No.
40, as passed by the 1945 General
Assembly, the State Board of Edu-
cation was required to appoint five
of it's members as special COM
mittee to make careful investiga-
ton and study of the situation
throughout the state, with refer
ence to the school buildings pro-
vided for the use of the children,
with view of reporting back to
the full State Board of Education
their findings and recommends
tons as to what program should be
presented to the next General AS
sembly for consideration as to
the state policy with reference
thereto, and with a view of pro-
viding for a more uniform educa-
tional opportunity throughout the
state.
Committee Duties
Among the duties of the commit
tee, Roland pointed out, is visiting
such sections of the state as may
be deemed necessary to collect all
facts with reference to the school
building situation and the ability
of the counties to provide adequate
and sufficient buildings therefore
necessary to the health and welfare
of children attending such schocI.
Further, the committee is re-
quired to consider whether or not
the state shall further extend its
policy Of making loans for school
building purposes; whether or not
grants in aid thereof should be
made in order to equalize educa-
tional opportunities.
Members of the special commit
tee, as named by Lieut.. Gov. L. Y.
Ballentine, state board chairman,
are D. Hiden Ramsey, general
manager of the Asheville Citizen
Times; H. E. Stacy, Sanford Mar
tin, Alonza E. Edwards and J. A.
