Have you ever bought and
cooked a bro-hen?
Yes, bro-hen. lean see some
of you looking puzzled, shaking
your head and asking, Whats
a bro-hen?" It's the mother Of
those broilers you've been eat
ing. the laying hen of the broil-
er industry. 1t is about a year
and a half old and weighs from
4 and one half to 8 pounds when
dressed. 1t has a large amount
of meat compared to bone.
This Is the time of year these
hens are being culled and sent
TO market. They are good for
baking, roasting, stewing, for
salads, and for chicken pies.
They can be used in any home
or school lunch recipe calling
for cooked chicken. You can buy
bro-hens that are federally in
spected and ready-to-cook.
From a Az pound bro-hen you
can expect to get about 4 cups
of diced cooked chicken without
skin, 51a cups of skin, about 8
cups of broth and q cup fat.
The average size bro-hen sim
mers to doneness in a little over
IL hours. They are bred fol

| nutritious food.

Buckingham Boy
Averts Bus Crash

Quick thinking on the part Of
Charles Baber. a 17-year-old Buck
ingham Central High School stu
dent, averted what could have been
a terrible tragedy when brakes on
the school bus he was driving
failed in Lynchburg. Saturday
A substitute driver, Baber saved
the 35 children from possible injury
or death when the brakes failed
while the bus was going down a
steep hill in line of traffic.
With seconds to act, he Wrenched
the gear shift into low and swerved
the bus to the right The bus shot
into a driveway leading to a tourist
court and into narrow niche in
the rocky and wooded cliff beside
the highway.
No one was injured, but most of
the students were shaken up and
scared. The IS Central students
were en- route to a dance party in
their honor at a Lynchburg tele-
vision station. Once the bus came
to a,/halt, they danced beside the
road until another bus came to pick
them up.
Baber said the brakes on the bus
were working when he starded down
the hill. across the James River
from Lynchburg. but that when he
tried to slow down at a caution

Families $50 Per Cent Home
Ownership Ahead OF u. S. Aueraue

A greater proportion of Farm
vllle's population own the homes
they live in and the homes are
more modern and in better repair
than are dwellings in most parts
of the United States.
This is indicated in recent Fed
eral and unofficial studies, among
them the Commerce Department S
just-issued National Housing In
yentory. which notes developments
on a national and sectional basis
as of the end of 1856.
The reports show that an esti-
mated 55.3 per cent Of the dwell
ings in Farmville are now owner
occupied.
This is high in comparison with
home ownership in other parts of
the United States. where an ave-
rage of 54.4 per cent have their
own homes. In the Southern States
it is 52l per cent.
Reflects Progress
The higher proportion locally re-
fleets the steady progress that has
been made in that direction since
1850. when the last Census of Hous-
ing was taken. At that time, 53.4
per cent of the local dwellings were
owned by their occupants.
The growth of home ownership
is viewed as evidence of rising
economic status. More and more
people are acquiring a share In
