Sandwiches are the mainstay OF
most lunch boxes and they should
be moist, favorsome, varied and nu-
tritious. Good bread-and bear in
mind a sandwich is nine-tenths
bread-a good filing plus little art

really appetizing and not just two
pieces of bread slapped together.
So just in case you've run out of
ideas here are a few suggestions.
Nice names, too, don't you think?

CLEANING STUFFED TOYS.
From Mrs. B. W. E., Washington. J
When I read the suggestion the
other night for cleaning stuffed
toys it seemed so much trouble that
remember the one I had cut out
from your column last Christmas,
1945, thinking would pass 1t along
to a young friend who had a young
son; so here 1t Is.
The writer says, "A DRY SUDS
METHOD as usually used on uphol-
stery is successful in cleaning
STUFFED FURRY TOYS"
To make dry suds put mild soap
flakes or powder In bowl, add a
very small amount Of water and
beat until thick and fluffy Gas you
would egg whites) with an electric
mixer or rotary beater.
Apply the suds to a small area at
q time with a sponge or with a
piece Of Turkish toweling or other
very absorbent cloth. Remove every
trace of soap with sponge squeezed
out of clear water. If the toy is very
soiled you may find it necessary to
work in the suds with a gentle
rotating motion. To retain the origi-
nal fluffy appearance, occasionally
apply brush to the fur as it dries.
You'll find this method easy and
satisfactory. I use it all the time
to keep the baby's toys clean.
I am sure many mothers will be
glad to have this reprint, though
I don't have the initials of the one
who first sent 1t in.

NURSERY SCHOOL.
From Mrs. L. N. c., Hyattspille.j
In answer to your questions on
nursery schools, I am working
mother and cannot say enough for
the schools, provided they are good
ones.
My daughter has been going to
one since she was years Of age
and is now 5. My experience has
been with day schools only, and I
think I would prefer them to board
ing schools. I believe that being
faway from the child during the day
is beneficial to both child and par
ents, but that he should have his
home life in the evenings. The as
ISOLATION with other children and
the constructive work and play pre-
pare the child for public school in
such way that 1t Is not shock for
him to face the outside world when
that time comes.

RADIO PROGRAMS?
HELPFUL HINTS.
(From Mrs. J. W. r., North Beach,
Thank you so much for all the
interesting things published in RCI
and the rest of the Woman's Page!
Since so many new radio stations
are springing up all over the coun-,
try, think it's good time to let
some of them know some of the
types of programs we would like.
Since no one letter could express
sufficiently my dislike of soap
operas" and since I don't want to
start another argument, I'll 60 on
to something more important to
me. would very much like to
see more programs for preschool-
children, nursery rhymes, fairy
stories and the old favorites such
as "Black Sambo," Three Pigs"
etc. I'm sure that this would be
help to many Of you other moth
ers, so please when you write your
other requests, add this to your
listl II possible, I would like to
have q list Of any such programs
already in existence.
Maybe some one would be inter-
ested In these hints:
/. Scraps Of medium sandpaper
are handy to use on pots and pans
and can just be thrown away after
use.

PETIT FOURS?
(Fron, Mrs. G.. r. ~, Alexandria, J
Can some one give me a recipe for
frosting for petit fours? What I
need is a soft, easily poured frosting
that will cling to the sides of the
cakes and when set will have that
professional-looking gloss. I should
prefer recipe that can be made
as needed and that doesn't require
"ripening" and remelting as does
the fondant frosting usually used
for this type of cake. So very few
requests go unanswered in this fine
column that I feel perfectly safe in
saying thank you in advance.

ToNsILLECToMY.

from Mrs. r. ", Alerandrid.)
To the mother who was appre-
hensiye about her 3-year-old and
T. A. operation:
My own son has just recovered
from his tonsillectomy and, having
been commended by the doctor and
the nurses on his behavior while re-
ceiving anesthetic, I am going to
try to help you. You are very right
to be prepared ahead Of time, fol
II a 3-year-old knows what is going
to happen to him, he isn't at all
afraid. My son and I played "am-
bulance" just for local color, and
the siren noise he could make. We
took his doll into the hospital" and
to the doctor who was going to OPP
crate on my son. The doctor" I'M
mediately gave the doll some magic
perfume" so the doll would go to
sleep, so it wouldn't hurt. Then as
the time drew near, I explained to
the little fellow that he was going
to the hospital to play doctor .
As he was not afraid, shaped q
paper cone and placed some nail
polish remover on a cotton swab at
the end of the cone and showed the
boy he had nothing to fear. The
perfume" was magic; he'd go to
sleep and have wonderful dream
of flowers and gardens and a but
terfly.
AT the time Of operation, he was
the most calm little boy, letting the
nurses wrap his head and arms, etc.
Gas he had been told they would.
and never o murmur upstairs, eth

on the cart, he sat up and blew us q

wish. It was mommie who flew

Youpon, (the word is some
times spelled yauQpon, yopon
and yupon) as a beverage may
pass completely out of the pic
ture with the passing of an cid
er generation. On the other
hand, some enterprising person
may decide to make a business
of curing, drying and selling
the leaves and twigs, using a
formula that has been handed
down through the years that
had originally been given early
colonists by the Indians.
Mate, Gin this instance pro-
nounced ma-tay), is an aromat-
ic beverage prepared in South
America, especially in Para
quay, from the leaves of the
Paraguay tea. It resembles COT
fee and tea in it's stimulant
properties. And when you buy
it in little packages on the
American market the price is
high - a dollar or so for an
ounce or two of the tea leaves.
1t is said that, except for the
Latin scientific designation,
mate (Ilex paraguayensis), is
the same as coupon, (Ilex vom-
i~toria), the evergreen, shrub
like plant or bush which grows
prolificly here and on the sandy
island of the Outer Banks. The
foregoing if true, may be a tip
for some person who wants to
60 into the coupon tea business.
Stanley Wahab of Ocracoke,
one of the few living persons
today who knows something
about coupon and it's quality as
a tea, was recently giving con-
sideration to placing same on
the market.
Youpon is a member of the
holly family - except that it
does not have prickly leaves.
The tiny white flowers which
bloom in the spring soon
change to berries which by De-
cember are very red. The ber-
ries are tiny and not edible.
In the days befo er artificial
decorations replaced the natur-
al ones, such as holly, many of
the islanders along the coast
sold coupon twigs. Usually the
colorful green twigs with their
red berries were taken to the
mainland in barrels and there
bartered for articles needed by
the islanders.
They take the leaves and
small twigs, bruise them in
wooden mortars, till they be-
come of a blackish color, and
whole defaced: They take and
put them into earthen pots,
over the fire, till they slnoak,
stirring them all the time "till
they are cured! Others take
htus bruised, and put them into
earthen bowls under which they
put live Goals and cover them
with coupon leaves. till they

have done smoaking, often
turning them over, then they

USE"
DR.. Brickell also referred to
the bark of the root of the
sassafras tree, also used by the
sassafras tree, also used by the
Indians, (and early settlers) for
making tea, ointments and oht-
er pharmaceuticals, Many in
land readers will recall the
days when the medicinal quail
ties of tae stepped from the
bark of sassafras root was rec
ognized highly.
Youpon, when prepared for
tea today, is done much in the
same manner as described by
DR.. Brickell. On Ocracoke Is
land it is sometimes cured by
beating same, placing it in a
cask or Darrell to which hot
stones are added. On Harkers
Island, at least one coupon tea
drinker cured her supply of
coupon by drying it out in the
family wash pot of iron over
an open fire in her back yard.
With a long hardwood stick,
she consistently stirred the
leaves and tWigs.

BR0UCHT0N TALKS
ON ACRIC ULTURE.
By H. A. STALLINGS

WIZ, wv. LO-
Bladen County's Farmers Day
Friday was highlighted by an
address by the Hon. J. Melville
Broughton on "Agriculture".
The former governor urged
his audience to give a broader
meaning to "Cultivation" so as
to include not only the cultiva-
ton of crops, but the cultiva-
ton of the life of the soil,
the cultivation of friendships
and community spirit, the cul-
tivation of fair prices for farm
products comparable to the
prices for products in other
lines, and the cultivation of a
willingness to contribute large
ly to good citizenship and world
peace.
Brought out emphatically by
the former governor was that
agriculture is a way of life, not
merely the earning of dollars
and cents; that farmers must
provide wholesome recreation
and hospitals close at hand;
that North Carolina owes most
to small communities and small
towns; that farmers must or
ganize and plan ahead; that dis
aster faces the farmers # they
rely wholly upon tobacco; that
the farms must grow what they
now buy; that the prevention
of hunger anywhere makes for
world peace.
Pig Judging
Preceding the address,, there
was a pig judging contest at
Greene Pastures for the Hamp-
shire pigs sponsored by the
Bank of Elizabethtown and the

Some OF Older Coast Folk
Still Prefer Youpon Tea
By AYCOCK BROWN

HARKERS ND.-Sev brands of coffee and
tea are available in the stores here and elsewhere along the
coast, but a few of the old-time residents still prefer their
