PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1940 1218 College Street Newberry, S. C. O. F. ARMFIELD Editor and Publisher One Year . Published Every Friday the post office at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. THE SPECTATOR Many of our best men are declar ing against the Roosevelt Wallace ticket on various grounds. Some are dead set against a third-term; and and others say that the Convention was a packed affair and bossed from a to z. Friday night and Saturday were just fine. All the people suffered and complained, but that’s the kind of weather it takes to make cotton. Those who don’t like so much heat should eat according to the weather. A man doing hard work in the fields or lumber yards needs a substantial meal because his work is exhausting and draws heavily on his strength and vitality. But those who do not ‘put out” physically should eat less and should avoid heavy food and drink. Starchy foods, fats and sugars ail add considerably to your discomfort, unless you work them off. Our greatest indiscretion in eating is that all of us eat like laborers, nut don’t labor. Saturday I read about the Chicago Convention, among other things the comments of Senator Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell, and I felt that we Southern people don’t count for much in the great political party of our fathers. In deep disgust I frettted and fumed about it—impotently, you know—but all bothered end upset, so I decided to let the country go to the bow-wows in its own way. As for me—well, I resolved to investigate my watermelon patch. After a mile on the dusty road, trudging along look ing at the crops, I reached the Rac coon Road, which the farm faces, and went along by the cool low spots of the “branch”. No longer thinking about politics, politicians, conventions—and all that —I arrived at the farm house. A little six-year-old girl went a third of a mile fith me; through the field and blistering sun. Her father, she said, was at the tobacco barn stringing to bacco. I knew that others could string the tobacco, but nobody could eat watermelon for me, so I headed for the melons. Of course, some body could eat the melons for me—as all farmers know—but I couldn’t thrill and throb with esetasy over a melon somebody else had eaten. Nay, my brother. So the little girl and I picked one with the little curl all dead and—boy, howdy! We gouged out the heart standing there in the broiling heat. Then we sampled an other. Tramping back through the com the watermelon’s sugary juice just poured from every pore, and we arrived drenched — and sticky. Easy-going people, dressed in good clothes may enjoy a watermelon at the table; but the real thrill is out in the patch “busting em” with the morning dew yet cooling them; and then tearing out the heart. Years ago—wnen I taught in Aiken, lived in Saluda, and shaved in Lex ington—I used to walk through a peach orchard and “Take my fill” from the trees, rubbing off the fuzz and then bearing down on the job. “Senator Byrnes is likely to be the President's choice for Vice President,” we heard. After the smoke cleared, Jimmie had not been made Vice Presi dent by the President, who had the whole thing all bottled, corked, and labeled. “Senator Byrnes will prob aby be the key-noter at the National Convention,” we read. After all the dust had settled, Jimmie was not the key-noter. “Senator Byrnes is the most likely choice for Chairman of the National Committee.” Nor is there a ghost of a chance for that. South Carolinians are easily deceiv ed. Jimmie is a great worker; he pulled Mr. Roosevelt out of the hole several times; he has been the ready, willing and capable lieutenant of Mr. Roosevelt, but Mr. Roosevelt puts his stamp on another man and virtually demands that he be chosen for Vice President—and nearly everybody swallowed that. Jimmie’s suavity, his ability, were used, but no honors or high places were given to Jimmie—just work! We owe a debt of gratitude to Edgar Brown of Barnwell for leaving Chi cago in disgust. No Southern man was recognized except to be allowed to praise or work for Mr. Roosevelt. No honors, no recognition comes to the South. We Southerners don’t count even in the Democratic party. Of course I know that a f >w of our Southern men may feel that they had a great part in the farcical proceedings. “Verily, I say unto you, they have their re ward.” Great is lubricating oil! We overlook the value of small things. Some months ago a lock gave me trouble; it wouldn’t function as a lock, and I didn’t fancy it for orna mental uses, though a handsome lock. I consulted men of skill and exper - ience in selling locks and they assured me that nothing but a new look would solve the difficulty. One day a young fellow happened in and remarked cas ually “Let’s try a little machine oil.” And the thing was done! Just a little oil—six or eight drops. Years ago I bought a safety razor sharpener and found that it was worth its weight in gold. After a couple of years it “went bad.” I bought another one—a cheap one. It went wrong soon. Two experts tink ered with the first sharpener, the lit tle machine which enabled me every morning to take the stubble off gently and mildly; whereas without it I could have shaved almost as well and comfortably with a reaper and binder. I accumulated blades like a dealer. Recently a man came along— no mechanic, no expert—and looked at the original sharpener, remarking “I don’t know anything about these things, but sometimes a little oil will do the trick.” Right he was. I squirted four or five drops of oil— and here we are. Again I had an experience. This time with my venerable car. It had a blumpety, blumpety sound until I reacher forty—then the smoothness was all that one could wish. So, as luck would have it, I invited a friemd to listen to the blumpety, afterwards, “a little oil for the front wheels did the trick. All my life I’ve heard that when one’s “palm has been greased” every thing works smoothly, but now I again marvel at the effects of a little oil, A great laboratory man recently remarked that he didn’t inderstand lubrication. Well, which is more im mediately effective—a greased palm or a greased axle? D. B. GOINGS OF CITY DIES IN COLUMBIA D. B.

FARMERS OIL MILL Phone 155 THE SOUTHERN COTTON OIL CO. Phone 118 NEWBERRY MILLING & DIST. CO. Phone 315 H-D COLUMN By MISS ETHEL COUNTS There are tricks to try in cooking some of the everyday vegetables such as cucumbers, radishes, green onions, and celery cabbage. They seem very different when they step out of their role as salad vegetables. The egg plant is cooked at least half a dozen different ways. For a real specialty, scallop the eggplant with tomatoes, and add .green pepper and onion for extra flavor. Select an eggplant that is firm and heavy, with a uniform dark color and no blemishes. You’ll find one weigh ing about 2 pounds will be enough to serve 5 to 6 persons. Pare off the skin, and cut the vegetable in small even pieces. Then melt 2 tablespoons fat in a skillet, add a chopped green pepper and small onion, and cook for a few minutes. Next add the eggpl. it, a quart of canned toma toes or chopped raw tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook about 10 minutes more. Place the mixture in a shal low greased baking dish. Mix about 1 cup of fine bread crumbs with a little melted fat and sprinkle over the eggplant. Bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and the crumbs are brown ed. Broiled eggplant is also good, especially if you sprinkle cheese on the top of each slice iust before it Is done. And the classic quick method is fry eggplant in deep or shallow fat after it is dipped in flour, in egg and crumbs, or in a thin batter. Swiss chard is really two vege tables in one. Strip off the green leaves to cook like spinach. But don’t throw away the white stalks. Cut them into one inch pieces and cook them like celery for about 20 minutes in boiling water. Then add the leaves and cook about 10 minutes longer. Remember to use unsaltei water to keep the chard from turning an unpleasing color. Season just be fore serving with fat, salt, pepper, and a little vinegar or lemon juice. Prepare koklrabi exactly as you would turnip. Trim off the leaves, pare, slice it crosswise. Cook in lightly salted boiling water for about 20 minutes. Drain and season with melted butter or cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Okra appears as gumbo in soups and stews down New Orleans way, because it contains a thick, jelly-like substance that is ideal for thicken ing these dishes. When served is a vegetable along—most cooks do away with some of this “jelly” by frying the okra, or by cooking it with to matoes, Select young okra, with pods measuring from 2 to 4 inches in length. Wash them carefully because the dirt sticks to the outside, dry, and cut crosswise in pieces about one- half inch thick. Heat fat in a frying pan. Cook the okra with the cover on for amout 10 minutes—stirring frequently. Then remove the cover and continue to cook until the okra is tender and lightly brown. The garden varieties of soybeans are truly a surprise vegetable, with their green color and nutty flavor. Select beans that are nearly full size, but still underripe. To make the soybeans easy to shell, first heat them in the pods for 3 to 5 minutes in boil ing water. Drain the beans and, as soon as they are cool enough to han dle, you can pop the beans right out of the pods. Then cook the shelled beans in lightly salted water until they are just tender—usually from 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll find that the soybeans need only a light seas oning of salt and pepper, with a little melted butter or crisply fried bacon or salt pork. Soybeans may also be cooked and served in the shell. To eat them, pick up the pods and press the beans out with the thumb and finge.r Cucumbers are featured in so many salads, that many cooks forget how good they are when served hot. You can fry them, boil them, or scallop them. But one of the best ideas is to stuff them with tomatoes and bake them. Pare the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Then scoop out the pulp to make cucumber shells. Parboil these cucumber shells or “boats” about 10 mintes. Meanwhile cook some chopped onion and parsley In fat add the cucumber pulp, some Chopped raw tomatoes or canned tomatoes, bread crumbs, and season ings. Cook about 5 minutes. Stuff the cucumbers with this hot mixture, place in a baking dish, add a little water to keep them from sticking and bake about 15 minutes in a moderate oven. Celery cabbage is another vegetable that can be served either raw or cook ed. Cut it crosswise, so there will be no long stringy fibers. Then cook it like cabage—either in boiling wat er, or panned in a covered frying pan with a little fat. If your garden furnishes more rad ishes and green onions than you can use as a relish, try cooking them and serving like any other vegetable. Cooked radishes are especially good when served with a sause made of top milk or cream, and tender green onions-on-toast are a real delicacy. These are suggestions sent out by the Bureau of Home Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture.
