Mr. Bennett, chairman of the 1932 house ways and means com mittee, was designated by the bud get commission, to direct a survey of the various state agencies by J. Smith, stdte auditor in order that specific data might be avail able for making recommendations for the supply bill. He announced this work already has been started by Mr. Smith and ills staff and the information ob tained will supplement the gener al report of the auditor. “The real problem is the funda mental one of preserving the oper ation of the state government,” Mr. Bennett said. “The government must be oper ated on*the slenderest resources and in order to surmount the fin ancial obstacles the highest degree of foresight, intelligence and. in dustry of the next legislature must be demanded. “Drastic action is demanded and the 1933 appropriations bill must be/far below the 1932 bill, of $9,- 350,000.“ £ J Mr. Bennett pointed out uiat due to unexpected shrinkage in rev enues the state is running far be hind anticipated figures, although last year’s appropriation figures were below those of a year ago and the supply bill has been clashed approximately $2,000,000 in the last two years. It is expected consolidation or abolishment of certain state agen cies may be recommended as a re sult of the special survey by the state auditor. Mr. Pennett explain ed the survey is being made by state employes and will incur no extra cost. The budget commission, which is slated to begin its hearing next month, makes recommendation to the ways and means committee which writes the supply bill. Its members in addition to Mr. Ben nett are Governor Blackwood, chairman ex-officio and S. M. Ward of Georgetown, chairman of the senate finance committee. Walter E. Duncan of Aiken is secretary. C. Zeigler was elected teacher of the class. During the social hour many par lor games were enjoyed and delici ous fruit punch and sandwiches were served.

FRANK MATTISON. tXt Card Of Thanks From Mr. Morgan Says Cooking Meat Is Both Art And Science I wish to use this method to ex press my sincere thanks lo the vot ers of the Parksville Magisterial District for the support given me in the second primary when I was re elected for another term. I shall continue to do my best to make you a faithful officer. A. V. MORGAN. Card Of Thanks From Mr. McCain “Cooking is both a science and an art,” says Inez S. Willson, home economist, “for the homemaker wants to serve attractive foods which always taste as good as they look.” In order to insure perfect foods, science is employed in cooking. Much of the. experimental work which has been done recently has been directed toward roasting meat and consequnetly the guesswork has been eliminated. The roast al ways will be “just right.” Roasting Meat the Scientific Way Roasting is a method of cooking meat by dry heat in the oven and is suitable for cooking chick tender pieces of meat, such as ribs of beef, loin of pork, leg of lamb, and many others, Miss Willson points out.

IXi The State Fair October 17 to 22 COLUMBIA, Sept. 21.—Though it doesn’t seem like a year since the turnstiles at the State Fair Grounds ceased to clik on the 1931 show, it has been almost that long, and one month from this week the State Fair of 1932 will be in full blast. The dates are October 17-22. Despite the socalled depression, the State Fair Society has gon: right ahead with the Fair in a big way, feeling, Paul V. .Moore^Secre^ tary, said, that the people need the Fair more in times like these per haps than when everything is rosy. The State Fair is the great cross- oad of South Carolina—the an- ual meeting place for many thou- and people—and the whole plan s to make the week gayer and lore worthwhile than ever before, ’he amusements are tip-top, the xhibits are the finest the fair has ver offered.

A meat thermometer is of great convenience in roasting and will insure a roast cooked to the desired degree of doneness. It is inserted so that the bulb reaches the center of the fleshiest part of the muscle. When the temperature a.1 the center of the roast reaches a certain point, the roast is done without a doubt. The best in ternal temperatures determined by experimental work have, been found to be: For beef, rare 140 degrees Fahrenheit, medium 160 de- ! grees Fahrenheit, well-done 180 de grees Fahrenheit, for veal, 160 de grees Fahrenheit, for fresh pork, 185 degrees Fahrenheit, cured pork, 158 degrees Fahrenheit, for Iamb, 175 degrees Fahrenheit, if liked slightly underdone, or 182 degrees Fahrenheit, if liked well-done. And Here’s Art in Cooking . \ Garnishes, seasonings, and ac companiments furnish the art in serving meals. An attractive garn ish for a roast is an order of green mint apples. The browned roast is placed ill the center of a large plat ter and around it is placed the border of green mint apples. The color contrast makes the roast seem even more enticing. Green Mint Apples 6 or 8 medium-sized tart ap ples. 2 cups sugar. 1 cup water. Green vegetable coloring. A few dtbps oil of peppermint Make a syrup by cooking the sugar and water together. Color with' green vegetable Coloring but be sure to use the coloring sparing ly so that the apples will become only a pale green. Flavor with few drops of oil of peppermint, and again, add the drops with care so that the flavor will not be too strong. Pare and core the apples and cook in the mint syrup until tender but not soft. Place these in a border around the roast. Garn ish with mint leaves. *xx troying bird.
