He further states that there will be no mail delivery whatever on Christmas Day, except in the case of special delivery mail, therefore if you anticipate wanting to mail anything on Christmas Day you should by all means get your stamps before that day as the general delivery and stamp win dow will not be open at all that, day. xx Tire Distribution To Be Handled Bv State And Local Councils Of Defense The allocation and distribution of unused pneumatic tires in South Carolina has been turned over to the State and local Coun cils of Defense, effective January 2, 1942, G. Heyward Mahon, direc tor of the South Carolina State Council of Defense, announced Defense Bond Q U IZ Q. What is the Treasury’s underlying thought in avoiding a pressure campaign to sell Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps? A. The belief that the Ameri can. public is anxious to aid to the limit in defense of the Nation, and also wants to save money for future needs, especially since such savings will help to keep down the cost of living. Q. Should I buy Defense Sav ings Stamps at retail stores rather than at post offices and banks? A. Buy stamps wherever it is most convenient. The important thing is to purchase Stamps as often as you can, and exchange the completed Stamp album for a Defense Savings Bond. NOTE—To buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank, or savings and loan association; or write to the Treas urer of the United States, Wash ington, D. C. Also Stamps now are on. sale at retail stores. 1 Aj. Make Better Use Of Meat On Farms Columbia, Dec. 20.—“This holi day season will see a lot of hogs slaughtered on farms to provide meat for the farm family, and to many of these families this con stitutes a major part of the avail able meat supply for the year”, says J. R. Hawkins, livestock specialist of the Clemson College Extension Service. “Let us there fore make every effort to see that we get as many good satisfying meals from each animal slaughter ed as possible.”, To this end Mr. Hawkins sug gests careful attention to the fol lowing points: 1. Chill the carcass as promptly as possible after slaughter to a temperature below 40 degrees. Meat, like milk, sours quickly un less cooled promptly. 2. Cut up the carcass into smooth compact sections which can be utilized without waste. Make as large a variety of products as is consistent with good man agement. That is, instead of making all the loin into sausage, make loin roasts and chops in ad dition. Make scrapple, head cheese, and other such products. 3. By all means, can up part of the fresh chops, roasts, sausage, and other products and thus con serve them for later use. < Spread the fresh meat over a longer period and enjoy it more, 4. Limit the salt used in the curing process to just the quanti ty needed to keep the meat and avoid an over-salty product. Eight pounds of salt is ample for 100 pounds of trimmed meat. 5. Call on your county or home agent or write to the Extension, Service at Clemson for Extension Bulletin. 77, Pork for Carolina Farmers, and Extension Bulletin 94, Canning Meats on the Farm, which contain many useful recipes and suggestions. “In this time of war prices and possible scarcity, let us make every effort to get as many palatable, satisfying meals as possible out of the carcasses of animals slaugh tered for home use”, Mr. Hawkins concludes. CITATION OF LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION _____________ « STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Countv Of McCormick. By J. Frank Mattison, Probate Judge: WHEREAS, E. L. Fox made suit to me to grant W. J. Hines Letters of Administration of the Estate and effects of W. G. Fox; THESE ARE THEREFORE, to cite and admonish all and singular the Kindred and Creditors of the said W. G. Fox, deceased, that they be and anpear before me, in the Court of Probate, to be held at McCormick on December 26th. 1941. Next, after publication here of, at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, to show cause, if any they have why the said Administration should not be granted. GIVEN under my i\and. this 11th day of December, Anno Domini. 1941. J. FRANK MATTTSON, Probate Judge. today. The Office of Price Administra tion has frozen the sale of un used pneumatic tires for the tine being. The allocation of tires v 11 be made to those, and only o those, definitely in immeri ? need of them for activities p nent to the defense program c a the health and welfare of . Q community. Each county is being asked to set up a board to carry out this program. This year when our families come home for the holidays we’ll gather them under the roof-tree with greater eagerness than, usual and we’ll want them to stay by their own fire-sides just as much as is humanly possible. So “open house” is the order of the week and we must be prepared for snacks at all hours. Sand wiches hold first place on the list of things to eat. Hearty sand wiches, party sandwiches, open- faced ones and big three-deckers answer for innumerable occasions. Successful party- sandwiches owe so much to their style that right here and now I’m going to beg you to arm yourself with a pastry tube so that you can trim up those alluring tidbits with the latest in swirls and stars. Cream cheese softened with heavy cream makes a most effec tive border piped around the edge or an open-face sandwich. Stuffed olives, sweet pickled cumumber rings, a bright tart jelly, a snip of red pimiento, riced hard-eooked egg yolk, a spoonful of any well- seasoned sandwich mixture, a fine large shrimp in a circle of tiny capers—all these and many others can be used for the center of the cheese border. Be sure to add a bit more salt to the cheese as you add the cream. You will find t|iat the gleaming white of the cheese and the colorful centers make a very festive sandwich tray. Graham, rye, whole wheat, white; and Boston brown breads can. be used for the foundation.. The bread should be cut very thin and cut in small shapes. Christmas stars aiftt wreaths and bells and tiny trees are easy id make and add mttch to the beauty of the whole atjUUf- . Spread the shapes with well- creamed butter before decorating them. The butter not only im proves the taste blit, holds the trimmings in place. Ribbon sandwiches are another attractive tidbit. These are made with two kinds off bread , cut in thick slices lengthwise of the loaf and put together with a smooth filling. Pile them up in alternate layers and let stand until rujtdy to serve. Then cut down through making the slices about one* fourth inch thick. , •«* Checkerboard sandwiches are made with two kinds of bread, too. Cut the bread as for ribbon sandwiches, and pile in alternating layers. Tjmn cut down through in thick suces exactly the same thickness : tltot the bread was cut to begin with. File these slices UP» being sure that the light and slices alternate. Be sure too, that , each slice is buttered evenly and cut accurately. Otherwise the slices won’t stick together. —Buy Defense ^ Bonds— , NOTICE 'ATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, bounty Of McCormick. [n The Court Of Common. Pleas.
