f r- — Everyday Cooking Miracles BY VIRGINIA FRANCIS Director Hot point Electric Cookery Institute The business of learning the mul tiplication tables and the rivers of Africa wouldn’t be half the task that it is if every young Junior could be assured of finding cup cakes in his lunch box once in a while. Boy, oh boy, spicy applesauce cup cakes frosted with maple flavored frost jr.g are something to look forward to after a hard morning at school; and they’re something worth being good for, too—should anyone (par ticularly mothers) be interested. Now, that the youngsters have be gun trekking back to school, lots of lunch boxes are going along, too, as well as hearty, appreciative appe tites for what’s in them. And, mothers, of course, are confronted with the problem of what to put in the lunch box each day! The popu larity and practicability of sand wiches isn’t to be questioned; how ever, mothers are finding it a good idea to tuck one hot dish or drink into the lunch box each day. And here is where the modern electric range comes in. Ready for the Lunch Box In the Thrift Cooker of the electric range delicious hot soups and baked beans may be made over night—to be ready for the thermos bottle of the lunch box in the morn ing, as well as for the family’s lunch or dinner. < Absent oven cookery and one step baking also help waylay the early morning breakfast getting and lunch packing rush. Why, the en tire breakfast may be placed in the electric oven the night before, and at breakfast time it will be piping hot and deliciously baked. Should Mother wish to stir up some cup cakes before sending Johnnie off to school she needn’t even take the time to preheat the electric oven. She just mixes the batter, places it in gem pans and pops them in the cold oven, after which she sets the baking switch and accurate temperature control. While the cup cakes bake in their own independent scientific way she prepares the breakfast. As a re sult, freshly baked cup cakes appear on the school luncheon menu—and no one has been “put out” or rushed. Here’s the recipe for apple sauce cup cakes. They are delicious to eat any time, any place — at school or at home. Apple Sauce Cup Cakes y2 cup shortening 1 teaspoon 1 cup sugar cinnamon 1 egg (beaten) 1 teaspoon 2 cups general allspice purpose flour 1 cup apple y2 teaspoon salt sauce (un 1 teaspoon baking sweetened) powder 1 cup nut y2 teaspoon soda meats (cut y teaspoon fine) cloves 1 cup seedless raisins ' Cream shortening; add sugar and beat until light. Add beaten egg slowly. Mix and sift together all dry ingredients and add alternately with the applesauce. Fold in the nut meats and the raisins. Fill greased muffin tins % full and place in cold electric oven. Set temperature control to 375°. Turn switch to Bake. Bake approximately 45 to 50 minutes. Exact baking time will depend on sixe of muffin tins. School isn't “half bad” ivhen lunch time gives promise of cup cakes like these. Best Pork Comes From Well Conditioned Hogs •A— Getting hogs in good condition for slaughtering is one of the main ^ points in successful butchering, said H. W. Taylor, extension swine specialist at State College. The best pork, he said, comes from hogs that are neither too young nor too old, too fat or too thin. Butcher hogs should be well finished. A well finished hog weighing from 200 to 250 pounds produces the most satisfactory pork for curing on the farm. Smooth, evenly fleshed animals produce a better meat, and will cut up with less waste than coarse, rough, wrinkled, and flabby ones. They also have a more tender, finer textured product with the right proportion of fat and lean. Hogs that are gaining in weight are usually the healthiest and will make the best meat. However, the loss of a few pounds in shipping be fore butchering will not lower the j fuality of the meat. The muscles of a thin hog are tough. They lack the flavor and juiciness found in a well marbled piece of meat. Extremely fat, heavy hogs can not be converted into the best quality cured pork. Although hogs may be slaught ered at any age, meat from young pigs is watery and soft and does not have the flavor and keeping qualities of meat from animals a little older. Additional information on kill ing and curing hogs may be ob tained from county agents or in extension folder No. 34, "Killing and Curing Meat on the Farm,”1 which will be sent free upon ap plication to the agricultural editor at State College. MISSING FROM LINER New York—A passenger giving the name of Garner Marshall, 70, °f Hilton Village, Va., was re ported to have disappeared from :->e Cunard White Star liner j Queen Mary early Tuesday.

SOCIAL SECURITY DATA SOUGHT (Continued from page one) kind of work for an employer, with a few exceptions. Wages of not more than $3,000 a year to an individual from any one employer will be added together to make up the total wages of that individual Every time the word "wages” is used below it means wages as ex plained in this paragraph and not wages generally. "Monthly benefits will range from $10 to $85 a month and will begin to be paid on January 1, 1942. To qualify for this type of benefit an individual must be 6 5 years old, his total wages must be $2,000 or more, and he must have earned wages for at least one day in each of 5 different calendar years. "Lump-sum payments will be made to individuals who reach the age of 65 but do not qualify for monthly benefits. The amount paid them will equal three and one-half per cent of their total wages. "Death benefits will be paid to the estates of individuals who die before drawing monthly or lump sum benefits equal to three and one-half per cent of their total wages. "In order that old-age benefits can be paid by the United States treasdry, it is the responsibility of the Social Security board to deter mine the total wages of those in dividuals who will be entitled to receive benefits. Accordingly, the board must keep an account of the individual’s wages. Employers svill be informed in due course as to the wage .reports which will be required for this purpose.” BENEFIT UNDER WILL New York—Three of four equal ihares in the estate of Mary Ever ;tt, whose will was filed for pro oate were left to Mary E.

I’m a scissors grinder.” | LISTEN FOR A LONESOME | | DRUM | - | by Carl Cramer j Reviewed by Eleanor Newman i Carl Cramer, having resided in Alabama for the past few years in order to write his famous Stars Fell on Alabama, returns home to New York State and finds abundant mat erial for writing his next novel. Weird—the book, as the State, screams of the supernatural. Cramer divides the state and proceeds to tell of each community’s eccentricities and peculiarities. We begin with Chautauqua, a sweet, wholesome, quiet town where adult education undertakes to specialize in more in volved learning. Indians, their superstitions, reli gious beliefs, uncanny witch tales, and dark dances are interestingly related. Accordingly, there are the various divine beliefs of the Cauca sian race: the Shakers, their weaken ed faith, and their Mother Ann; the Millierites who prophesized the end of the universe ten years ago; the Jemimakins whose leader was the Universal Friend, Jemima, who died twice; the Spiritualists and the little Fox girls who fooled the entire na tion by tapping their toe gently on the floor, making the world believe it was a spirit talking to them; and the Pvloyes establishment that for bade the loving of one individual more than another. This was a small factory center run by the great J. P. Noyes, and it is amazing how one personality could so en tirely dominate and influence hun dreds of lives. There is the community where hunting, horses, and guns are its breath and life. The Loomis Gang—the great horse thieves— Randy Cook, and Pop Risley add much to the color of this location. Stub Newell’s Cardiff Giant created quite a sensation. After being one of the world’s wonders of stone, it was found to be only a trefnendous plaster of paris figure made by Stub’s own hand. In the northern part of the state we find lumber camps and State Troupers, No. B. Also, here is the residence of Amerigo Vespucci, and her life here and abroad surely awards her the title of adventuress. I was actually mad when I came to the last page of the book, and even though I am a Southerner the adventures could not have beer more exciting and interesting, ever to a York Stater. SAYS RED SQUILL BEST RAT POISON NOW KNOWh Red Squill is considered by fai the best rat poison known, but it; success depends upon how anc where it is distributed. Two of its main advantages an that it is relatively harmless t< domestic animals and that it i comparatively slow to take effec on rats, said George B. Lay, roden control leader of the U. S. Biologi cal Survey, with headquarters a N. C. State College. When a falst-acting bait kill: the first rats that nibble it, he ex plained, the other rats are frighten ed away and are, therefore, no ; likely to be poisoned. Although Red Squill will no kill domestic animals, it may mak< : them sick, and for this reason i should be placed where they canno get at it very easily, Lay pointec mit. On farm premises, the bai should be spread in the afternoon after chickens and livestock hav more or less settled down. Put ou i plenty of bait so that all rats wil have a chance to eat it freely. Look for runways, burrows, an< other places where rats may be Lay continued, and place bait it and around these places. Man) small bits of bait, about the siz< of marbles, are better than a fev bigger pieces. ' -* Rats run along beams and rafter: and in other high places, but the) return to the floor or ground tc seed feed and water. So the bail should be put out in low place: rather than in those higher up. Red Squill causes a gradual par alysis. When the rats feel the ef fects coming on, they seek burrow: and other out of the way places tc die. Few if any dead rats arc found in the open, and there ari seldom any serious unpleasan: odors. However, if any dead rats an found in the open, Lay cautioned they should be buried or otherwise destroyed. Dewey iHerring, 4-H club boy of Greene county, produced 5 8 bushels of corn on his club acre this season. Dewey planted hi: corn in alternate rows with soy beans. Two drunks were blabbing about cradle days as they leaned heavily against the bar. "You know,” said one, "when 1 was born I only weighed a pound and a half and that’s a fact.” "You don’t shay,” said the other "Did you live?” "Did I live!” exclaimed the first "Shay, man, you ought to shee me now!” The vicar had received a couple of tickets for the opera from one of his parishioners. Finding that he was unable to go, he rang up some friends and said: "An unfor tunate dinner engagement keeps me from attending the opera to night; could you use the tickets?” "We should be glad to do so,” was the reply, "but we are your unfortunate hosts.” Oland F. Peek, 4-H club boy of Nahunta, Wayne county, has won $13 8.50 in premiums on his seven pure bred Berkshire hogs this fall and has sold $139.65 worth of pigs. This together with the increased value of the herd has made it a profitable venture for the owner. • Buy In "Greater Salisbury”.
