i rival! ught THE NEWBERRY SUN Home Demonstration Clubmobiles For Column By ETHEL L. COUNTS Blame the cook rather than the food for unpleasant cooking odors, say home economists of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. When the house reeks of cabbage, or when the rank smell of frying fills the air, the cause is usually overcooking or cook ing at too high heat. The so-called strong-flavored vegetables — onions, turnips and members of the cabbage family—give off very little odor if they are cooked until just tender, not soft and mushy. Boiling these vege tables for a half hour or so breaks down the sulphides they contain causing a strong flavor and odor, a dark color and a loss of food value. When these vegetables are young and “new”, they give off little or no odor even if cooked with very little water. When they are older and stronger in flavor, odors can be avoided generally by covering them with water leaving the lid off the kettle and cooking only long enough to make them tender. Such devices as boiling a piece of bread with the cabbage to “absorb odors” have not proved of any value. The strong acrid smell of fat on the fire is also an indication of wrong cooking. Fat should never become hot enough to smoke, for at the smok ing point it breaks down chemically. Food that has fried in smoking fat may have an unhappy effect on the digestive tract. A simple duster for applying in- secticides to garden plants can be made as follows:- Take a piece of cheese cloth about a foot square, lay it down on the ground. Put in the center of the square about a handful of the insect killing dust. Then pick up the four corners of the cheese .cloth and you are ready to go to work. ! When the weather is perfectly quiet, take this dust bag in one hand, hold it about a foot above the plants you want to dust and give it a quick | up and down jerk. The dust comes i through the cheese cloth and drifts down on the plant. If this is done in the evening the dust will stick bet ter to the plants. If you need to turn a leaf to look for insects or eggs on the under side of the leaf, as you do with the Mexi can bean beetle for example, then you have a free hand to do it with this cheese cloth duster. Another simple duster, recommend ed by the entomologists of the De partment of Agriculture is easily made from a mailing tube with a metal lid or a salad dressing jar. | You punch six or seven holes in the metal lid with a nail a Httle bigger than the lead of a pencil. The holes should be pnuched from the inside of the lid. Then fill the tube of the jar about two-thirds full of the dust, replace the lid and you are ready to go to work. This sort of a duster is handy for getting the dust on the underside of the leaves. GREER MARINE GAVE UP TRIP HOME TO KILL JAPS Service Men TEXTILE WORKERS LEAVING PLANTS For some time the American Leg ion Auxiliary as a national organiza tion has wanted to do something def inite for our men in service. Now ! the opportunity has come. The units ( throughout the country are planning to furnish two Clubmobiles for the boys, one in the Pacific area, and j one in the Eurepean theatre. They j will carry the boys at the front cig- I arettes, candy, coffee, doughnuts, writing and reading materials. Each i Clubmobile will be provided with an I amplifying phonograph. The cost is §21,000 for each or §42,000 for the two Clubmobiles per year. Each one will have a plaque stating they are | sent by the auxiliary. The cost of these seems very high, but we must consider that this pays the salary of i three girls, a mechanic, food and sup plies. It takes 35 barrels of dough nut flour and 50 pounds of lard a 1 day, besides the candy bars, coffee, chewing gum, books, etc. When the Clubmobile arrives, the men are al lowed to stop whatever they are do ing, and partake in a refreshment period. These Clubmobiles can in two hour’s time be changed into an ambulance. The contributions for the above Clubmobiles are to be “earned” in some way or donations may be made by interested- individuals. The local unit of the American Legion Auxil- | iary, is selling “All Occasion” cards for their earned contribution. I ! We know there are people in New berry county who would like to assist , in carrying on this work and who are : not connected with an organization sponsoring such a movement. To * 1 * these who would like to make a per- 1 sonal contribution, large or small, I the American Legion Auxiliary wants to say they will be glad to accept; their donations and apply the same I to one of the Clubmobiles. One of our own Newberry county boys may be made happier through such con tributions. If you care to have a part in this undertaking, the president of the American Legion Auxiliary, Mrs. May T. Stuck, will see that it is for warded to the national treasurer. THOUGHT FOR TODAY Charles E. Green, 13 Twenty-fourth street, who according to press re ports killed 30 or 40 Japs with a Browning automatic rifle on Eni- wetok, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Green. , Sergeant Green joined the Ma rines six years ago when he was but 17 years of age He has been in the Pacific area for two years and recently turned down an op portunity to come home on furlough preferring to stay and liquidate the JhP 3 - „ ■ . , He was in the recent Emwetok invasion and apparently realized his ambition for the press account was as follows: One counter-attack nearly wiped out the command post of Maj. Clair Wayne Shisler, Can eon, N. C., whose battalion of Marines from the 22nd regiment was called into support the 106th Army Infantry under Col. Russell G. Ayers, San Francisco. Thirty to 40 Japs tried to storm the post just before daylight yester day. Sgt. Charles E. Green (13 24th street), Greer, S. C., saw them creeping up and opened fire with his Browning automatic rifle. He kept firing until the gun was so hot it burned his hand badly. But when the attack ended, the Japanese lay dead.

(Women in essen tial war industry must have release from their employer or the U. S. Employment Service.) I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. I gazed and gazed, but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought; For oft’ when on my couch I lie, In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash before that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude, And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils. —Wordsworth! Maybank Told Higher Wages Are Attracting Thousands Of Them Washington, Mar. 2—^Receiving further reports of the rapidly declin ing production of cotton textiles. Senator Burnet R. Maybank of South Carolina today moved to secure early action on his Senate resolution that a committee be named to investigate all phases of textile production. During the day, Senator Maybank conferred with officers of the quar termaster general’s division of the Army, the War Production board, mill owners and also has an en gagement tomorrow to talk to John W. Edelman, representative of the Textile Workers Union of America. Mr. Edelman called at Senator Maybank’s office today to discuss the Senate’s resolution and found Senator Maybank in a meeting of the Appropriations committee and plans to see the senator tomorrow. Mr. Edelman said that from the standpoint of the textile worker, men and women are leaving the cot ton mills of the Carolinas and going to shipyards aircraft plants and other industries where they can secure a third more wages than are being paid in the cotton mills. Mr. Edelman said that cotton mill workers had already asked for an in crease of approximately 10 cents an hour in wages, with the hope that this increase would at least keep the women in the mills. He said that the men were rapidly leav ing the mills where they are being paid a dollar an hour and upwards, whereas, women were being offered 20 to 30 cents more an hour than they are receiving at the mill^. He said that coupled with the proposed increase of wages for cot ton mill workers, something would have to be done to create a reser voir of workers through training schools and moreover provisions would have to be made for com munity facilities to care for chil dren of female workers while they are in the mills. Despite the fact that the textile industry has been declared essen tial to the war, Mr. Edelman said that young men 18 and over are not only shifting to other essential in dustries but are entering the Army and Navy rapidly and thus depleting the reservoir of workers.

Wilson, chairman of the Aircraft Production board, announced today. Although the total was 29 war planes short of January production, the emphasis on heavier and long- er-range aircraft gave a four per cent increase in tonnage produced. Wilson commended the entire in dustry on the February showing, particularly the uniformity in meet ing or beating schedules. Forty- three aircraft plants equaled or ex ceeded their schedule output by a small amount, which Wilson said in dicated “sound scheduling and ex cellent achievement.” Just as I was ready to quit in dispair my young friend Phillip Aull brought me a rooster. That was Saturday afternoon. Sunday pro duction got under way, and Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday it soared until I (with the roosters help) was growing nine eggs where only one grew before. But all this was not without its sour note. On Sunday I heard that rooster in the hen house taking on as tho he had discover ed a gold mine, or some gas stamps, and upon investigation found that he had induced my hens to eat at least 3 of the eggs they had laid. I gave him a swift kick w r here he sits down and sent him spinning across the lot, consigning him, to gether with Hitler and Tojo to the hot region. However, he has not been into devilment since and my egg business is now clicking along with clock like precision. Tom Harmon tells in this connec tion of a rooster he once had which would actually get on the nest ern’ cluck and woo until he induced a hen to take his place. I would like to have that one, but in the mean time we will close the chapter on this business for fear D. V. Knight, the liar to cap all liars, comes up with one of his chicken tales.

FORUM WILL MEET 16th VICTORY OVER DEATH The following are a few of the medical advances that occurred in 1943: Penicilln became widely known and used; new types of anesthesia were introduced; mosquito control measures were perfected to combat malaria; new uses were found for the sulfonamide drugs; intensive treatment centers were established for syphilis; new facts about vita min B were discovered; treatment of infected wounds and shock were ad vanced. Each of these developments was a victory over death. The medical pro fession is entitled to banner head lines from one end of the country to the other heralding these lifesaving accomplishments. The monthly meeting of the Forum will be held Thursday, March 16th at 8:30 p. m. in the private dining room of the Newberry hotel. At the last Forum meeting the need of an enlarged county hospital was decided upon as the next question to be discussed and this will be the topic for the meeting on the 16th. Short 3-minute talks will be made by several citizens selected by the pro gram committee, consisting of Z. F. Wright, Georgs Martin, J. E. Wise man and Hal Kohn. At the conclu sion of the short talks a general dis cussion will be open to all present. Z. F. Wright will preside at the meeting and the public is invited to all Forum meetings.

Floyd e^WILD LIFE < SOUTH CAROLINA IN WITH PBOF FRANKLIN SHERMAN I HBAD• CLtMSON COU.BCE-PCPT OF ZOOLOGY OWLS Owls are almost exclusively night- flyers, thus they supplement hawks (day-fliers). Both groups are natur al predators, feeding much on small er birds, rodents, and to some ex tent insects. Most persons consider all owls destructive and gladly kill one at every opportunity. Yet (as with hawks) careful students tell us we usually judge them too harshly, and that most owls do more good in des troying rats, mice or other pests, than harm in killing poultry and beneficial birds. Being night-prowlers, their fea thers are very soft and their flight is almost noiseless, enabling them to approach their victims unaware; eyes are very large for night vision; their beaks and claws are strong, sharp and hooked, and are used to tear the flesh in feeding. An owl peculiarity is that the large eyes are set in large discs of feathers; we are not sure why. Great Homed owl is the most des tructive. Largest of our owls, very strong and rapacious, he has con- spicious ear-tufts. Its calls are loud and echo thru the woods for long dis tances. It stays mostly in larger woods and forested areas; devours many birds, poultry, and small game, notwithstanding that it destroys many rodents, it is considered to do more barn than good. Most often seen is the little sc.eech owl, which may be of rusty-red, or gray coloration. Its tremulous night cries give many people the “creeps”. It is an active mouser and we might be more 'charitable toward it. It has ear-tufts. The “Hoot-owl” is the Barred owl (no ear tufts). It often stays in lowground woods, feeding largely on rats, mice and some birds. The Short-eared and Long-eared owl are among our smaller and less common species. Smallest of alf is the Saw-chet, seldom seen. Only one specimen of it has been sent to Clemson in nearly twenty years. He is rusty brown in general color. Snowy owl is large, mostly white in color, without ear-tufts. It is a northerly species but comes south ward with winter storms. It has often been recorded in North Caroli na but records of it in South Caroli na a re very few. We need more rec ords of it—and specimens. —a good time to visit our Ready'to-Wear, Millinery, and Children’s department on the second floor.
