* lyvcg; six THU NEWBERRY SUN_ FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1241^ When there's a slack moment...pause and H-D COLUMN By ETHEL L. COUNTS According to the Bureau of Home Economics, U. S. Department of Ag riculture we Should have enough po tatoes for “one serving a day.” This should be taken into consideration in deciding how many potatoes we will plant. If you have not already plant ed enough get some more and let’s start our planting season by doing our best on this item. High food value, plus good flavor suggests also and excellent reason for eating potatoes frequently. Potatoes deseive extra attention of their vitamin C content. A good bit of the minerals of pota toes, mostly phosphorus and iron, is very near the skin, so make the par ing thin or better still serve the skins and all. “To get thr.t mealy, dry perfection in the baked potao, start the baring in a hot oven, ar. let it bak. at about 400 to 425 degrees F. u til thoroughly done,” say; Mrs. Elira- beth Fuller Whiteiran of th' Bure', of Home Economics. “Whethei •• -- not you grease the potato before b-.-cin r is a matter of personal choice, but remember if you do, the skin may be soft and greasy. “To prevent lumps in mashed po tatoes, the bane of the novice cook’s existence,” Mrs. Whiteman’s scienti fic cooking tips go on, “cook the po tatoes thoroughly first of all. Then marii them thoroughly, and be sure the milk you add is hct. “For crisp, tender French Fries, rinse the potato slices in cold water, drain and dry them. Fry them right away, about a cupful at a time, in deep fat of about 375 degrees F. Soaking the potatoes in water for two hours before frying will make them crisper, but will lessen the flavor and food value. Use the bland flavored, high grade peanut, cottonseed or corn oils for the frying. Other practices to carry out this month are: bedding sweet potatoes, planting Bloomsdale spinach, Alaska or Laxtom, English peas and Chant- enay Carrots.

D 1735 Woodburn Ave. Covington, Ky. ROBERT NORRIS Thousands of jobs m South Carolina Depend on Legal Beer Yes—and thousands of South Carolina mer chants and home industries benefit from the legalized beer industry's $3,400,000 annual payroll to South Carolinians. Beer also makes other contributions to our state's welfare. For instance, it pays taxes and license fees amounting to approximate ly $1,008,970 annually. This money is allo cated to the School Aid Fund and to the 46 counties and their cities and towns. Thus, legalized beer provides jobs for 3,000 South Carolinians, helps maintain the jobs of others and easf*s the tax burden of all! I- i * SOUTH CAROLINA BEER WHOLESALERS ASS OCIATI OIM BEER A Beverage of Moc(£Rt!on Benziger Brothers, Inc., New York and Cincinnati, have recently come forward with a couple of basic texts in English. In general, they are “Conquests in English,” and in parti cular they grade the contents for the designated age. Before me lies one entitled “Mastering Sentences,” by Mulhall and Harlan, with eight stars, indicating the grade; the other entit led “Word Ways,” same authors, with seven stars. Both texts have comprehensive materials, and the authors use sound pedagogical meth ods. The outstanding features of the books are ample provision for moti vation, mastery tests, and keen in terests in the problems of individual ism and the social mind, thus mak ing the dual aims more realistic— individualization and socialization. Both books are full of illustrations, also fine mechanical work in typo- | graphy arid genertil appoanance. Many people who speak well cannot write with equal precision and rorce. : Such persons will find in the first title their problem solved, whether 1 it be the use of the abverb, adjec tive, ease, comma, clause, communi cation, library, paragraph, verb, or whatever the problem is. This book tells how to convers over the tele phone correctly, avoiding “Hello,” together with many other interesting projects, such as the diagramming of | sentences, and the like. Both texts are well designed for personal use or class use, and this is not a Useless praise of the books. One of the most interesting books in the New Testament is II Corinth- aiits, and. one of the ablest small commentaries on the book is that of Dr. Charles R. Erdman, published by The Westminister Press, Wither spoon Bldg., Philadelphia, selling for One Dollar. There are interesting comments of the author on Paul’s vindication of his apostleship, the glory of hds ministry, and the fong martyrdom of his life, for that is really what his life was. Dr, fird- man takes up the problems of the occasion of witting, the false teach ers, and such interesting extremes as the collection for the poor saints at Jerusalem and his vision of Para dise, the latter being found in chap ter 12, the former in 8 and 9. Also in the book are interesting words on Paul’s view of “After Death,” found in Chapter 5. Read II Corinthians and follow along with Erdman. Robert Norris, 65, of Washington, D. C., and Columbia, formerly of Newberry, who died Saturday morn ing in a hospital in Lake City, Fla., after a few months’ illness, was a son of the late Dr. John Thompson Norris ard Elizabeth Halfacre Nor ris of Newberry.
