They say that strain Is the thing
that kills us. but it is difficult to see
how the average person can avoid
stress in this day Of rising costs.
Even the homely foods OF the past
have scared in price, while the
things we whispered about land
which were hidden under the counter
during the war; have given us a
completely haywire idea about what
luxuries are. So far as I can see,
it is luxury just to eat these days!
The high cost of eating and the
evsn more crucial problem of di-
gesting what one eats after looking
at what 1t costs, places a premium
on a knowledge of nutrition. 1t Is
still possible to cut the grocery bill
and be well nourished, If you know
how to do 1t.
Milk should be kept on your list,
even though 1t also has risen in
price, because it supplies you with
so many elements which are essen
tial to good health. A child should
have a quart Of milk day and an
adult two glasses. Dried beans and
peas of all varieties are nutritious
foods and, even though their cost
has risen amazingly, they are still
among the cheaper foods. There are
many inexpensive, delicious, filling
and nutritious dishes, which are

NEW IRON;
SLIPCOVERS

from Mrs. r. T. L., Siluer Spring.
To Mrs. E. A. M, Washington. I
have the new iron which tips back
when not being used. 1t is truly
wonderful for family use. 1t never
has to be lifted, not even to start
on a piece of wash. The same
company also makes the ightest
iron 7 have ever lifted, but 1t is the
regular lifting type.

newspaper and roll it up, then stun

With my sofa and chairs and the
covers never pull out. But I have
trouble with my sofa cover pulling
down from the back over to the
front. 1t has a binding across the
top of the back rest and the bind
ing always seems to be half way
between the bottom where seat
meets back and top Of back rest
There are no legs in center back
so I can't tie it down. l don't want
to tear it by using pins. Can some
one offer a solution?
(From Mrs. M. H., Arltngton.)
At last believe I've found where
I can be of real help. To Mrs. D. Y.
Washington, in regard to slip covers
for sofa bed. I have made two slip
covers for my own and they fit and
stay in place very well. I fit the
large piece on the sofa bed while II
is open as when used for a bed
Then with curved needle ano
strong thread I put in a running
stitch at the crease, where the sofa
bed folds. 1t is advisable to take
the stitches quite deep so as not to
tear the covering. This is so very
satisfactory and yet so utterly
simple I'm surprised the upholster'
ing companies haven't discovered 1t

have had moderate success with
the following method: Cut slips
from bushes, making certain that
YOU have five "joints." Put three
"ioints" in the soil, leaving the two
remaining ones above ground. Soil
should be worked well and sandy
Invert a glass jar over slip, press
firmly into soil and leave undis-
turbed during winter months.
I am interested in purchasing
eyergreens, but am uncertain OF
what kinds to get. 7 want to form
a BACKGROUND or windbreak OF ever
green trees. Could any one advise
me as to which is most suitable for
this purpose? 1 am also hoping to
find some low-growing plant, pref
erably evergreen, to cover an un-
even slope. This slope edges drive
way, so would not want anything
large enough to obstruct vision.
I am very much interested IN
gardening and flower growing. l
often wish I knew more about this
work, particularly in slipping, root
ing, grating, etc. I am interested
nonprofessionally. I want this in
formation only for use in my yard
and garden. Are there any bulle-
tins or other materials available
free or at low cost which would
give me this Information?

Those interested in collecting cups
and saucers will find large selec-
tion of lovely ones in one Of the
local shops. They are made OF bone
china with gold decorations, and are
imported from Czechoslovak1a. Al
though they are OF the demi tasse
style, the shapes and sizes dlner:
Shades of rose, blue, green ana
cream can be found among the
stock.
A nice gift for . bargain can be
found If you're interested in stamp
boxes, small cigarette containers or
lighters. We refer to those made OF
china with hand-painted decora-
tions. They certainly belle the price
tag. The fan-shaped boxes and the
small table lighter are very dainty,
both In design and in the pastel
colors. A set Of these or an lndl-
vidual piece would make an excel
lent shower gift.

hurricane lamps to grace each end

much money, we know where you
can find beautiful glass ones with
sparkling prisms and finely etched
globes. However, on the more ex-
pensive side there are those with
silver-plated bases and cut crystal
globes. These are much larger and
naturally more elegant but both are
so pretty that you couldn't go wrong
in your choice.
Those Chinese modern shadow
boxes are simply out of this world
Finished in q choice Of black with

black with straw, they are just the

Mr.. Johnson's office this Tor last) year,
he naturally succeeds Mr.. William H.
Neal of the Wachovia Bank and Trust
company of Winston-Salem.
But while this was in line with the
associations precedent, it is by no
means the only reason for being graft
fled that the Neal mantle has descend
ed upon the johnson shoulders.
Another, and much more important
reason is Mr.. Johnson's fitness for the
position.
Mr.. Johnson ranks high among the
states bankers of vision and under
standing, not only of North Cardinals
postwar opportunities for progress, but
of the nations composite financial stu
alton.
His administration cannot fail to
carry the bankers association itself
and, through the bankers, the people
forward if not to unprecedented pros
perity at least to greater stability and
security in the frightening period of
re%conversion from war to peace.

Time to Make Good

Star readers, particularly those in
annexed areas, as we'll as the city ad-
ministration, are urged to read, or re-
read if once perused, the letter from
Mr.. Bert W. Blake in yesterdays Star,
in which complaint is made of the bad
condition Of the Carolina Beach highway
south from Greenfield Park.
For several feet toward the highway
center, Mr.. Blake points out, dirt has
obscured the pavement and because
there is no sidewalk this stretch as we'll
as the highway borders are ankle deep
in dust or mud, according to the pre-
vailing weather, and pedestrians are at
a disadvantage in either case, whether
they walk on the encrusted highway
pavement or off of it.
Particularly at night are they en-
dangered because of speeding autos.
Several deaths have happened there in
recent years, and while Mr.. Blake notes
that many speeders are arrested, he
feels that no material improvement i n
the safety situation can be made until
sidewalks are laid for the convenience
of persons afoot.
His further mention of the confusion
resulting from similarity of street
names is timely. But what requires
especial attention by the city admins
tration are the physical improvements
which were promised when the Sunset
Park area wa brought within the CITY
limits. With differences accounted for
by strictly neighborhood conditions.
Mr. Blake's complaint is voiced in prac-
tically all areas voted into the citv at
the annexation election.
The council has had trouble sec,,r-
ing materials, to be sure, but the peo-
pie who consented to abandon their
suburban status in that election are en-.
titled to the speediest fulfillment of the
pledges made to them and are Justified
in believing themselves the objects of
neglect.
In it's reorganization the council is
to be urged to revamp it's program for
making good on the promises which
led suburbanites to vote themselves
into the city.

directors respectively of the Brigade
Boys club, with prizes too; and at 5
o'clock everybody piled back again into
the buses for the drive home-tired but
happy.
It was a great day in celebration of
the great work these boys do for safety.
The safety record maintained for so
many years around schools is the out
come of the Junior Traffic forces mag
nificent service. Posted at lntersec-
tons of all streets bordering the block
on which a school is located they keep
traffic in control before and after
school and during the noon hour. Pupils
cross streets under charge Of the young
officers with as great security as If
the service were performed by adult
uniformed policemen.
And these picnics once a year are
their only reward.
The Junior Traffic force is among
Wilmington's greatest traffic assets.
All prise to it.
