Edna is to be married Saturday, Sep tember 2, at her home on Boundary street. Entertaining for her at a hearts party last Friday afternoon were Mrs. Derrill Smith and daugh ters, Lucy and Julia, at their Main street home. Mixed garden flowers decorated the rooms where five tables were arranged for the games. The bride-elect’s place was designated with a beautiful coorsage. The prize at hearts went to Mrs. William Part ridge and the hostesses presented Edna a lovely luncheon cloth. Salad was served after the games.

In fact he has only been here about four years, but because of his winning ways, his friendliness, his grand personality, his helpfulness, and his consistent thoughtfulness, he has as many real friends here as most of our life-long citizens. He has been connected with one of the OCC camps as educational director, and comes to a camp in your vicinity in the same position. But that wasn’t his only work at the camp. Each year he arranged an interesting open house program and graciously invited the citizens of our city and county to inspect the camp. He put on many dances at the camp that were attended and enjoyed by town folk. He had charge of the worship ser vice at the camp and possibly many other things we know little or no thing about. But we knew him. mainly for his active interest in our city’s affairs, both civic and social. We recently celebrated our Sesqui- centennial year and he did loads of work toward its success. Whenever called upon for any service about town he was most willing to do his part and then some. He was a prominent member of the Eagles Club, social organization for the young men of the city, and always assisted in making the Eagle dances popular and successful social events. As a member of the Country Club he was a handy “committee man,” being called on to help in practically every event held there and showing real talent when it came to fancy dec orating. As you can imagine, ww hate, beyond words, that he has to leave here. Our loss is certainly your gain. The gentleman’s name? Oh, yes. It’s Dave Blackwell. To The Fair It’s impossible to sit down to a typewriter to write news without knocking out the words “to the fair.” They just keep going. Mr. and Mrs. D. V. Knight of 2101 Drayton street and Mrs Charlie Woodruff of Whit mire left Saturday for New York city by way of Charlotte, N. C. They visited Washington and then the Fair...Thad McCrackin, Jr., now working in Winnsboro, with a group of friends, left this week for a most interesting trip with the Fair as the reason for a grand tour all around in the northern states. Other places they will visit include the coast of Maine, a trip into Canada, over to Yellowstone National Park, then in to Chicago heading back hoirte.

Long have re turned from a visit to Washington and the New York World’s Fair, Author of Sister Mary'i Kitchen Summer diet presents a very defi nite problem in balance to conscien tious home-makers. Too many heavy foods are distasteful if not absolute ly harmful, while light foods con stantly served become insipid and tiresome. So, in order to find a happy me dium between the too hearty and the too dainty we turn to salads. .Summer salads, more often than not, fill dual roles. The fish and meat salad course does duty for both salad and dessert. In planning salad meals, choose your salad first and build your menu around it. Such meals are bound to be well balanced and interesting. Since the salad-dessert invariably is a fruit combination it’s better not to make the first course a fruit. Jel lied boullion, chilled vegetable juice cocktails, appetizers such as sardines and highly seasoned stuffed eggs make splendid first courses for this type of meal. I found a delightful old pressed-tin mold in an antique shop the other day that I filled with this jellied fish sa lad. The mold has a lovely fish curl ed around its edge with a variety of sea shels arranged in the center. Fish and Cucumber Salad Two tablespoons plain gelatine, 1 1-2 cups consomme (canned or made with cubes or extracts, 1 cup water, 4 tablespoons tamato catsup, 4 table spoons lemon juice, 1-2 teaspoon on ion juice, 2 tearpoons Worchester- shire sauce, 1 pound salmon (freshly boiled or canned), 2 teaspoons ancho vy paste (optional but good), 2 large cucumbers. Soften gelatine in 4 tablespoons cold water. Heat consomme, water, catsup and lemon juice to scalding point (not boiling) and stir into gela tine which has been liquified over sot water. Stir until thoroughly mixed and add onion juice, Worches- tershire sauce and anchovy paste. Let stand until cool and beginning to jell. Break salmon into coarse flakes, removing bones and skin. Peel cu cumbers and cut in quarters length wise. Scrape out coarse seeds and dice. Mix fish and cucumber and fold into jellying mixture. Turn in to a mold and put in refrigerator to chill and become firm. Unmold on a bed of shredded mixed salad greens, seasoned with French dressing, and serve with mayonnaise. You can use any kind of fish you prefer. Crab flakes, shrimp, lobster, or a mixture of the three adding sal mon, too, makes a delicious salad.

LOMINACK Hardware TODAY \TOMORROW\ -ly.- FRflNK PARKER I TOOK BRIDGE FLIGHT 1939 I have just flown from the Atlan tic to the Pacific between two days. I took a plane at New York airport at 5:45 Sunday evening and landed in San Francisco at 9 o’clock Monday morning. It was as comfortable as riding in a pullman car. I flew in a “sleeper” plane, with regular berths like those on the railroad. It cost almost exactly what the railroads charge for first-class accommodations on their crack transcontinental trains. I had not flown for five or six years, and was amazed at the im provements since my last flight. Our average speed in the air was three miles a minute. We flew at a height of 10,000 feet, almost two miles, above the earth. We came down at Chica go and Salt Lake to take on gasoline, but otherwise were in the air the whole distance between the oceans. The thought which came to my mind many times as we flew was the Biblical line, that God has made man a little lower than the angels. One who believes in the Divine spirit guiding human thougiht and action could not help feeling that Man’s con quest has been made possible by in spiration from on high. ALTITUDE » oxygen Orient Represented at MRA Meet TREASURE ISLAND . . . Among delegates from countries of the Orient, gathered at the meeting of the Moral Re-Armament conference at the Golden Gate International Exposition are, left to right:' Phoenix Klang; L. P. Liu; Ma Nyein Tha; Leatrice Huang; Peter Tsai; James Tong. Everybody knows that the higher up one goes the less oxygen there is in the air. As an elderly man with a tricky heart, I asked my doctor about the risk before I started this long flight. He had madi the same flight himself, and told me that if I got short of breath the stewardess on the plane would give me some oxygen to breathe. Sure enough, crossing the Alle- gheni’s, we had to rise to 13,500 feet to get over a thick mass of storm- clouds. Every one of the forty pas sengers was given a tube through which to inhale extra oxygen from a big tank of the life-giving gas, and none experienced the slightest dis comfort. An air-line pilot who was riding as a passenger told me that the new big planes now being built will have oxy gen supplied in the proper proportion, so that flights can be made at 20,000 feet elevation at four miles a min ute, and the air will be just like we breathe at sea level. PILOTS ...... training From my flying shipmate, the transport pilot flying home from a vacation, I learned a lot about the men who navigate the great passenger craft of the air. They are young, but they are far from being “kids.” It takes nine years from the begin ning of training to qualify a pilot to command a big airliner, as long as it does to qualify to practice medi cine. First, before he can be admitted to an Army or Navy flying school, he must have had at least two years at a university. All the commercial pi lots are Army or Navy or Marine re serve officers. It takes four years of intensive training for the ambitious young man to get his “wings” from the Government. That qualifies him to fly a military plane, but not for a commercial plane where other people’s lives besides his own are at stake. He has to work as an assistant or co-pilot, perhaps for three or four years, before he is intrusted with mail flights on short and easy routes. Then when he has mastered the science and art of navigating entire ly by instruments, and otherwise proved himself qualified, he may get command of a trans-continental or a trans-oceanic ulane. STEWARDESSES . . . helpful Almost as important as the pilot and co-pilot on the cross-country passenger planes is the stewardess, the capable young woman whose job is to prepare and serve meals to pas sengers, look after them if they are “air-sick,” and in general to see to it that they are comfortable. The girls who get these jobs usually stay on them less than two years. By that time they have married either a pi lot or a co-pilot or some passenger they have met. Most of them marry men in the air service. Every stewardess must be a regis tered nurse. That means she has a good education and has served three years or more in hospital training. She must pass rigid tests as to char acter, poise, personality, and physi cal condition. To be a stewardess she must be not more than 5 feet 5 inches tall and weigh no more than 125 pounds. Weight and height count for something in flying. I have seldom met two more intel ligent, well-balanced young women than the two stewardesses with whom I flew across the country, one from New York to Chicago, the other from Chicago to the Coast. PICTURE America There is only one way to get a real picture of America. That is to see it from the air. The impression I got was that there are immense un settled areas, even in the thickly- settled states of Pennsylvania and Ohio over which we flew before night fell. The West is even more thinly! settled. J From Salt Lake, where we stopped at dawn, on to the Coast, over the high plateaus west of the Rocky Mountains, and across the Sierras, there was an appalling picture ol barren mountains as bare of vegeta tion as the coasts of Spain, with oc casional fertile valleys hidden amid their depths. Not until we got into California did I see anything from the air that suggested possible pros perity n the creation of wealth from the soil. Once we had crossed Lake Tahoe and began to slip downward into the Sacramento Valley, however, it was easy to see why Californians regard their land as God’s country. It is green and lovely land facing the blue Pacific, kept fertile by the rains and fogs sweeping in from the ocean. H-D COLUMN By MISS ETHEL COUNTS problem, that tomatoes—while they are fruit botanically speaking—are vegetables in the language of com mon usage. However, a tomato by any classifi cation is valuable in the diet. It al most runs the gamut of the vitamin alphabet. According to the nutri tionists, one medium-sized, ripe, red tomato will furnish about half of a day’s requirement for ascorbic acid or vitamin C—and about one-fifth of the vitamin A needs for a day. In addition, it will contribute some vita min B, vitamin G, and the pellagra preventive vitamin. Any woman who puts up part of canning tomatoes as ju : ce will be con gratulating herself next winter. To mato juice is a refreshing, nutritious appetizer. In fact, one cup of it fairly thick with pulp will furnish all the day’s requirement for vitamin C. Tomatoes as juice are in the most convenient form for making aspics— as well as many other tomato-flavor ed dishes. And put u, without any salt—it will fit into diets of infants.

A Cinderella among vegetables a century ago—now one of the most im portant of the truck crops grown in the United States. That is the success of the tomato as told by the Bureau of Home Economics, Washington, D. C. There are several good reasons that the tomato enjoys dietetic prestige today. One is that it passes all taste with its matchless flavor. It scores again on food value, because it is an inexpensive source of necessary vita min C. And it has eye apeal with the bright “tomato red” of its coloring. In fact, so eye appealing was it to some 17th century Englismen that they grew the tomato purely for its ornamental value. Originally the tomato came from tropical America. Since then it has knocked about considerably. To gain recognition as. a food, it had to go to Europe. In 1893, it appeared before the Supreme Court of the United States. On that occasion, the highest court of the land handed down the decision, in connection with a tariff Prize Jitterbugs ws* / A*.; * * NEW YORK CITY . . . Jim Brennan of Elizabeth. N.
