During the past week meetings have been held In various parts of Oconee almost every night. Tho purpose of these meetings ls to bring forcibly to tho attention ot the peo ple of Oconee the necessity for in ci'tised product ion and a strict conser vation of all food aird feed that ls made. The theme of tin; meetings production and conservation--bas boen almost universally shortened down to tho simple, ever'y-dny words. .Making and Saving." They cover tho ground well, tiley are pointed, forceful, and the people, wo believe, are without a dissenting voice or hindering act rallying to the call that romes to thom. We believe that Oco nee will (lo her part, and do lt well, thi year 111 making at home every thing that will bo needed by our <?wi> people, with something over I hat ?an he spared to help others less fortunate ber?? and abroad. lt ha.i boen Ibo good fortune of the editor ot The Courier lo attend seve ral of tho meetings bold, lu? having been present at the Oconee Creek meeting. Hie Oakway meeting and tho meei lng la^-t Sunday at Double Spring.-. The reports from all meet ings are unod and most encouraging, and ii the three thal wo have at tended aro fair samples of them all, WC feel (lint there will he great good accomplished, for th<> people of these three communities are alive to the importance of Ihn work in hand and are ready to eo-opornte mightily both 111 " Mn Ic lng" a nd "Sa v lng." Al the Oakway meeting lhere was a special feature added that, tve be lieve, is new to the general plan. At Ibis point tho ladies of the eomnui niiv arranged a "Corn Supper." serv ing a bountiful feasl to tho large as sembly, each dish prepared and serv ed being made from a corn product. That all may see just what was serv ed we give below, (from memory, therefore not with guarantee attach ed as to ?leen racv, i I he menu : linked thicken (com led ) Stewed corn Corn mullins Mig hominy (Hive mother used to make) Corn co ff tn? Cornstarch pudding Corn cake. This was a complete supper, a good supper, and a satisfying one. Tho fact that it was served at Oakway is HU Mc lent guarantee of its merits. If there is any Item omitted from the menu, the omission is due to the fact that wc became interested deeply in that good obi "lye hominy," a part of our "home-raising" that, whatever else may be our faults, we have never forgotten. This supper impressed on our mind the fact that, come what may in the way of wheat shortage, our people will never starve or be se riously deprived of food so long as our crops of "King Korn" are good. And we bad never supposed for a moment that real, genuine, thorough ly good cake could bo made from torn meal, but it can. We suppose hat this cake was made much in tho ?ame manaor that our regulation .akes are made, save that corn meal .vas substituted for wheat Hour; at tliy rate, it was assuredly a full corn product cake, and it was good -good enough for anybody anywhere and everybody everywhere, just as tho '.corn coffee" was good. Wc learned how this tasty bo ve ra go was made die recipe minus tho proportions and here is the principle: Corn meal ls taken in quantity desired, an egg is broken and stirred Into the meal, then a small quantity of sugar is added. When thoroughly mixed to a eruinblv mass, the whole is parched In the oven until it looks like parch ed and ground rolfe. Thou pour Moiling water over tho "coffee" and keep it bolling till done. Try this out, and it it don't work, write Mrs. Walker dearden, nt Oakway. We will be willing ti? guarantee thal you will get just what in forma lion we have failed to give. At tho Double Springs meeting the Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps took a good hold. Postmas ter Albeit M. lirown, of Mountain Rest, was present, and ho enrolled eleven names on bis list of those who have starte.; saving un tho stamp basis. There was a good crowd at the DOttb'o Springs church, and they were deeply interested. T'toil's is ;i grain section, and they plan? no cot ton al all, Tho Double Spring.' com munity may bo counted on. we be lieve, to make two stalks of corn produce ears where only one pro duced before. Up there they are ot tho kind o' people who do things. There n;'o oilier meetings to bc held Over tho county during the next fow dava, and wo hope that the pco plo of those communities still to bi V) ci tod w'll take a deop interest la these meetings and attend if possi ble. It ls worth while -not that thc speakers can, o? will try to, tell thi farmers how they should farm, oi the housewives how they should dolt and prepare their meals, bul simply tor tho rooson that there if encouragement, enthusiasm, strength ill numbers, and those communities that awake moHt thoroughly to the urgent call of the day to "Make and Save" will be tho communities that, when winter shall have come again, will find themselves in the best con dition lo help win tho war for de mocracy by contributing their share to tho feeding of the people at home and abroad, both civilians and sol diers. There is a groat work to be done; let us each assume our part and do it to tho very best of our ability. Th oso meetings are for the purpose of getting together in an endeavor to get all to do their best. .MUS. I*. O. DAVIS DMA I). Pussed Away at Woodbury, Ca. Daily linnell for Children.
