SMYRNA AND VICINITY

The congregation of st. Peters
Church commenced the six weeks
aenten service this morning.
One of the most novel attrac-
lions noticed by the residents of
Smyrna Landing recently was a
train of cars coming up the Smyr-
ma river. One resident said he
was the oldest one there and it had
never been done before. A huge
fiat barge was brought up the
creek with two large freight cars
loaded with 100 tons of acid phos-
phate for the l.. M. Price factory.
MIR. Price is getting everything
ready for an early spring trade.
The new department in our local
columns under the heading of
.High School Notes" should be of
interest to the parents. The work
is wholly under the direction of the
Corresponding Editor of the School
and will no doubt prove interest
ing. 1t will show the marked
standard that is being kept up and
advanced in school work under the
efficient leadership of Mr.. Charles
III. LeFevre.
The Masquerade Luncheon, CIV
en- by the Kings Daughters at the
home of Mrs. John P. Hudson on
MT. Vernon Street, st. Valentines
evening, proved to be most novel
and interesting affair. 200 guests
were admitted for the nominal sum
of ten cents. The decorations were
of oriental design conspicuous
among which were lanterns and
fans neatly arranged around the
room. The guests were pleasantly
entertained and highly amused in
the different courses of the mas
querade luncheon, as to what when
ordered it would turn out to be.
Bullion, Tea.
Deviled oysters, potato salad
served in shells.
Baked potatoes, chicken croquet-
tes.
Muffin bread, sponge cake.
Cold tongue, bologna sausage.
Brown Betty, corn gem shells
filed with baked beans.
Strawberry cream, strawberry
cornstarch and whipped cream.
Vanilla cream, vanilla cornstarch
with whipped cream.
Orange and cherry ice, orange
and cherry geletin.
Root beer, coffee.
Fruit, apples filled with salted
peanuts.
Beside an enjoyable evening the
organization cleared about $27.OO
to be used in relieving the poor of
the town.

SUGGESTS

CoMETIMES in mid-winter when
~ appetites grow weary of the
sameness in vegetables and other
foods, a satisfactory solution to
stimulate taste buds can be found
in varying the method of serving.
For instance, handsome arrange
ment of two or three vegetables on
a chop plate makes a pretty table
picture and also pleases the palate.
Nancy Holmes of the Best Foods
kitchens makes a few basic sug-
gestions about selecting vegetables,
too. When marketing. she says, be
sure to consider the texture, taste
and color. In other words, never
serve two vegetables of the same
color, as peas and beans, or two of
similar texture. as cauliflower and
broccoli.

WHO IS OPPOSED TO COLMER?

The Clio has announced a million-dolar drive to de-
feat key Southern Congressman.
The CIO doesn't like Bill Colmer's brand of Ameri-
canism. Why?
Because he had the courage to fight the veterans
fight at home.
Because he insisted that, in time of war, the man in
the factory has the same obligation to stay at his post
as the man on the beachhead.
Because he killed FEPC in committee and opposed
similar anti-Southern bills.
The Clio would like to get rid of Bill Colmer.
Why?
Because, as a member of the Rules Committee, he is in
a position to thwart their schemes for a permanent FEPC
and for an anti-poll tax bill.
Because the Rules Committee is equally divided on
such measures as FEPC, and the defeat of even one Sou
thern member of the Committee would upset the present
balance of power.
Because his defeat would throw open the Chairman
ship of the influential Special Postwar Policy Commit
tee, which he now heads.
A VOTE FOR COLMER IS A VOTE FOR THE
AMERICAN Way

and advice contributed greatly
to the present situation, where all
of the friends and supporters OF
this legislations are united and
not divided"
The American Legion Com
mander at that time, Ray Muir
ply, wrote Colmer: "You were a
strongly contributing factor to
the final elimination of such
differences and thereby con-
tributed greatly to u success"
The Commander in Chief of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
James E. Van Zandt, expressed
appreciation for Colmer's help:
|" -. you have been one OF
the key men in this fight To
you belongs much of the credit
relative to the success we had
with this legislation"
The Chairman of the House
Veterans Committee, Congress
man John e. Rankin, thanked
Colmer for his help on widows
and orphans bills in 1885 and
again in 1910: mo one knows
better than I do of the real gen.
uine interest you have manifest
ed in the disabled veterans and
their dependents" e. the
gentleman from Mississippi (Mr,
Colmer) is one of the strongest
supporters of veterans legisla-
ton In the House."
All three of Bill Colmer's sons
are veterans of World War II,
and, If for no other reason, he
would be sincerely and sympa-
thetically concerned with the
welfare of the veterans of the
second world war.
The South Mississippi Con-
gresham has earned a place OF
influence in Congress and, when
the veterans call On him, his
friendship will count. He is not
a novice, not a first-termer, with
no acquaintance in the House,
with no seniority. with no COM
mittee assignment of Importance
He is on the most influential and
strategic committee in the House
In him the veterans of all wars
have a friend at court.
