Hon* Storage Of Vegetable*
Temperature is the important con
sideration in storing any vegetable
through the winter. Pumpkins,
squashes, and sweet potatoes keep
best where the air is warm and dry.
Onions do well in an upstairs room
or attic.
White potatoes and most of the
root vegetables need a storage place
of their own, partitioned off from
the main part of the cellar and pro
vided with at least two openings to
the outer air for ventilation. Tho
partition need not be elaborate. It
way he one board thick and covered
with building paper to stop the
passage of warm air, if near the
heating unit.
An earth floor is more desirable
than concrete or brick, because it
supplies a certain amount of moist
ure.
Where there is no basement or
where it is impossible to partition
off a separate storage room, outdoor
storage in a pit or storage cellar is
preferable. A good storage cellar
is often dug in the side of a hill,
which contributes part of the nefces
sary insulation that prevents the
vegetables from freezing. Earth,
sod, straw, or corn fodder helps to
protect the products in an outside
storage place.
Several small outdoor pits are pre
ferable to one large one. The best
storage temperature for potatoes has
been found to be 45 degrees to 50
degrees F. Celery and a small sup
ply of carrots, beets, salisfy, and
parsnips for immediate use may al
so be kept in the cellar storage room
%ith the potatoes. Apples should
not be stored with vegetables that
have a pronounced odor as they will
absorb such odors, thereby produc
ing unpleasant flavors in the fruit.
Cabbage and turnips should never
be kept in the cellar. They are best
buried in the open or kept in a suit
able outdoor cellar along with
main supply of root crops but in a
separate bin or compartment.
Whether the vegetables are kept
indoors Or outside, good products
will'not come out of storage unless
good products are put in.
Light And Ventilation
Kitchens that do not have enough
ventilation or proper lighting can
usually be given these two necessi
ties by a few changes.
A cross current of air, for ex
ample, keeps the kitchen cool and
carries off food odors. Windows in
two side walls are needed, or one or
two windows in one wall and a door
in another. *
The outside door should have a
screened transom for ventilation. If
the kitchen is at all dark, having the
upper half of the otltside door glass
would add needed light.
When the windows extend as near
to the ceiling as possible, they help
to carry off hot air and food odors
when opened from the top. They
should be screened from top to bot-
tom.
Another point about setting win
dows high in a kitchen is that other
equipment may be placed beneath
them. High windows give good
lighting in the daytime. Good arti
ficial lights* arranged to prevent
glare, are also needed.
Asa further aid to kitchen light
ing, the walls should be light color
• ed. Glaring white is not usually
Ut.ed, but light tan and grays with
wUismsh yellow to give them life are
jpihifactory. They are neutral, do
'■Bp, show soil easily, and yet reflect
considerable light.
*• ’WOMEN ASK MORE FEDEAL
LEGAL JOBS
women lawyers raised
Ptneir voices Thursday and made firm
demands for more federal jobs as
judges, district attorneys and as
sistant district attorneys.
In a series of resolutions adopted
by the Georgia Council of the Na
tional Association of Women Law
yers, they set forth their qualifica
tions and asked a greater share of
federal legal positions.
“In every state of the United
States,” the resolutions declared,
"‘women are well-trained in the law
and are well qualified by training
experience and temperament to
serve as federal judges.”
Among other things asked by the
Georgia Council were clinics where
birth control information and in
struction will be given, places be
sides the jails for housing patients
before they are sent to the state in
stitution at Milledgeville, and uni
form marriage and divorce legisla

The Restoration of a Whole
City ,
Willlaftjaburg, Va. —What if some
one Invested $20,000,000 in your
home town?
That’* about what John D. Rock
efeller, Jr., has spent in the past
ten years on restoring this historic
community—population, 2,500 to
3,000.
Rockefeller’s plan, now almost
completed, was to make Williams
burg look as it did 200 years ago
when it was the bustling capital of
Virginia—and Virginia extended to
what is now Wisconsin.
Public buildings, streets, stores,
houses and gardens—all restored or
' reconstructed after painstaking re
search here and abroad— provide an
eighteenth century atmosphere
where it is easy to visualize men and
events important in the making of
America.
The 200,000 tourists who visited
Williamsburg last year can bear
witness to the changes—especially if
they stayed in a restored hotel and
/dept under the canopy of an old
four-poster bed.
Daily Life Tranformed
But the by-product of the restor
ation, Williamsburg people said to
day, has been a transformation in
their daily lives.
The tempo is faster. The depres
sion slipped by almost unnoticed.
Business is better and the standard
of living higher than before. Few
people are on relief.
Women who never had worked
are employed—and it’s hard to get
up a bridge game. Even the gar
deners and cooks talk glibly of early
American history.
But some residents said the golden
avalanche has not been all benefits.
Women who work or rent rooms to
tourists, they remarked, are not as
free to work in church organizations.
Colonial Williamsburg, Inc.,
bought and tore down the business
buildings on the main thoroughfare
and substituted two entire blocks of
neat Colonial shops which harmonize
with the restored or reconstructed
homes, taverns jnd greens along
Duke of Gloucester Street.
The life-tenure plan was used by
the Restoration in some cases where
residents and their families had
lived in the houses too long to con
sider giving them up. Other homes
were bought outright and the sellers
used the money to build new homes
outside the restoration area, which
covers about 30 per cent of the land
within the city limits.
The Restoration has purchased
326 pieces of property, restored 68
colonial buildings and rebuilt 123
others. Some 514 modern buildings
have been torn down, 21 buildings
have been moved outside the area,
33 shops and stores have been built
and many old gardens restored.
About 20 to 25 unreconstructed
buildings remain inside the area.
MEETING OF THE T. E. L. CLASS
On Monday p. m., October 31,
Mrs. J. C. Bennett entertained her
Sunday School Class from 3 to 5.
There were fourteen members pres
ent, and three visitors. Mrs. Ben
nett was so happy to see the old
members of her class come which
had not been in the Sunday school
for some months.
The meeting was opened with
Scripture reading by Mrs. Bennett,
Second Timothy, Ist chapter, sth
verse, from which our class got its
name—T. E. L.—Timothy, Eunice
and Lois, son, mother and grand
mother, which Mrs. Bennett explain
ed to us. We then had prayer by
Mrs. Stovall. We next elected of
ficers.
Mrs. Bennett was unanimously
elected as teacher; Mrs. Ramsey,
president; Mrs. Pirkle, vice presi
dent; Mrs. Stovall, social chairman;
Mrs. Ramsey, secretary and treasur
er.
No program being arranged, we
just all felt free to say and discuss
what was on our minds. Mrs. Ben
nett read us some beautiful poems.
We discussed matters pertaining to
the betterment of the church and
Sunday shcool. We spent the time
so happily together. I think that we
each left with a determination to
boost our class more.
After the social hours spent to
gether, Mrs. Bennett, assisted by
Mrs. Pirkle and Mrs. Ramsey, serv
ed delicious salad, cookies and tea.
Those enjoying her hospitality,
were Mesdames Culberson, Appleby,
Wilhite, Blackstock, Rankin, Pirkle,
Bird, Medlin, Crystal, Roberts, Stov
all, Misses Head, Ramsey, and three
visitors, Miss Betts, Miss Irene Ran
kin and Miss Miriam Bennett.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Only Four of Brigham
Young Family Living
Only four of Brigham Young’s
family of fifty-six children borne
him by nineteen wives, survive.
The last of the Latter Day Saints
Church Patrich’s twenty-five sona-7-
Joseph Don Carlos Young, 83 —died
last week. Only four of the Mor
mon leader’s thirty-one daughters
remain
Three of them are highly active.
Each ia white-haired, blue-eyed,
proud. All are residents of Salt
Lake City.
Mrs. Clarissa Y. Spencer, 78, eld
est living daughter of the church’s
second president and the first gover
nor of the territory of Deseret, is the
most spry. She is still active social
ly. In her spare time she acts as a
guide in the Lion House, Mormon
social center.
Least known of the surviving
"daughters is 77-year-old Mrs. Ruth
Y. Healy. Because of ill health she
lives a secluded life.
Most active in church work is Mrs.
Mabel Y. Sanborn, 75, affable head
of the information bureau of the
church’s genealogical society.
Youngest survivor and the last of
the patriarch’s children is Mrs. Fan
nie Y. Clayton, 68, who takes a
prominent part in women’s work.
Mrs. Sanborn recalled how each
evening her father met with the en
tire family at evening prayer.
“The mother, surrounded by their
children, sat in their respective
chairs around a large living room,’’
she said. “Father sat at a table in
the center. Following prayer, he
would go to each group, asking about
children who were missing from
the family meeting of the day, in
quire about household affairs.”
Each of the wives and her chil
dren lived in separate apartments.
Of the Mormon leader’s fifty-six
children, only ten died in infancy,
Mrs. Sanborn recalled. Four of
them, two pairs of twins, died dur
ing the bitter winter of 1847 that
the Mormon party, heading west
ward, spent at Florence, Nebraska.
Young died in 1877 at the age of
76.
CHEAP AT ANY PRICE
None of the neighbors had called
on the new family who had moved
into a Morningside neighborhood.
One hot afternoon kind-hearted
little Mrs. Brown put on her best bib
and tucker, rang the bell and sent in
an engraved card by the maid who
came to the door.
There was a few minutes of whis
pered conversation in the back of
the house then the maid came back.
“My madam say she is very busy,
would you mind telling her what
you are selling?”
“Not at all,” smiled Mrs. Brown,
rising to her feet from the daven
port. “I’m her neighbor and I had
a very nice brand of hospitality I
wanted to show her.”
The maid stood gaping.
“However, I carry a side-line I
think your madam could use, it’s call
ed Good Manners.”
And with that Mrs. Brown took
herself and her good intentions
home, remembering to give the new
neighbor’s door a lady-like bang as
she did so.—Atlanta Journal.

Disasters Strike 41
States During Year
Red Cross Aide 420,000 Persons
Following Catastrophes
That the past year has not been an
•any on* for th* American Red Cron ia
shown in a recent report listing dis
asters necessitating Red Cron relist
throughout the United States during
the peat twelve montba.
The report reveals that 129 domestic
dlsaatera called /or Red Cross aid In
247 counties ot 41 states, and that
assistance was given to 420.000 persons
who were disaster victims.
“That this has been a very active
year is obvious when one compares
this year s operation* with llie average
of 92 disasters requiring Red Cross aid
annually for the past 15 years." Chair
man Norman H Davis said in com
menting on the Red Cross Disaster
Relief Service report. *
These catastrophes included cloud
bursts, cyclones, epidemics, tires,
floods, forest tires, hailstorms, mine ex
plosions, a school bus accident, a ship
wreck. tornadoes, typhoons, and wind
storms.
“Disaster relief was the tirac'humani
tarian work of the American Red Cross
after Its organization in 1881." Mr
Davis said. “Id the ensuing 57 years
the flag of the Red Cross has flown
upon every scene of major disaster In
the United States. The Tied Cross has
carried relief —food, clothing, shelter,
medical aid. rehabilitation ot homes
and (amines— to more than 2,200 scenes
of disaster at home and abroad, and
has expended over $140,000,000 con
tributed by the American public In this
work of mercy.”
The Red Cross policies of relief, the
national chairman pointed out, have
been established over a period of years
through actual experience of Its work
ers in the Held. Relief Is given on
the basis of need of sufferers—not ot
losses. Loans, be pointed out. are never
made, but relief is a gift from the Red
Cross in the name of Its members and
contributors to its work.
“It would not be possible tor the Red
Cross to carry out such widespread
relief activities without the help ot
thousands of volunteer workers." Mr.
Davis said. “Volunteers are the main
stay of the organization, and In the
past year's work assistance from many
cooperating agencies has made It pos
sible for us to answer the many calls
for help."
While relief was being given to vic
tims or natural catastrophes, the Red
Cross was not unmindful of the neces
sity for preparedness plans to meet
emergencies that may arise in any
American community. Red Cross chap
ters in hundreds of counties have or
ganized disaster preparedness commit
tees charged with responsibility .o
map relief plans in advance of need,
and to organize resources of communi
ties to prevent duplication of effort and
waste of materials when calls for help
are received.
These plans are proving especially
advantageous In localities subject to
frequent floods, tornadoes, or hurri
canes, and actual tests of such plan
ning have demonstrated the necessity
for such measures.
“The administration of such relief
tor disaster victims is made possible by
annual memberships of millions of
Americans In all walks of life." Mr.
Davis pointed out “The extent of Red
Cross aid to such sufferers is entirely
dependent upon unselfish sharing on
the part of all of us.”
Red Cross Nurses
Aid Million Sick
Red Cross public nealth nurses made
more than one million visits to or on
behalf of the sick during the fiscal year
1937-38.
The patients live in mountain com
munities, on islands ofT the coast, in
isolated swamp regions, and in crowd
ed industrial sections. During the same
period the nurses inspected 559.187
school children for health defects in
cooperation with local physicians, and
gave instructions in heme hygiene and
care of the sick to 58,754 mothers and
young girls.
Red Cross Volunteers
Assist War Veterans
Red Cross workers in chapters, in
hospitals and on posts of the Army.
Navy. Coast Guard, and Marine
Corps, assisted 122,355 active ser
vice men or veterans or their taml
lies during the past 12 months.
Red Cross service to these men in
eluded stfch personal help as letter
writing, shopping and recreatlona l
leadership, but it also included finan
clal assistance to their dependents,
help in locating missing members of
their families, and assistance In fil
ing necessary applications tor pen
sions. disability pay. hospitalisation,
or for discharge from active service
because of borne needs.
The average number of men as
sisted b> Red Cross workers each
month was 18,790, according to a
recent report.

EXPLANATION
It happened in a night club where
the single entertainment offering
was a cynical piano player. A cigar
ette dangling from his lower lip, he
rolled off one tune after the other.
Sentimental ballads, swing tunes,
old-time waltzes—he played them all
with no change of expression on his
poker face.
A young couple sat near the piano
player, sipping drinks and listening
to the music. One number in par
ticular struck the girl’s fancy—and
when the cynical pianist hit the last
note, she floated over to him.
“You played that number beauti
fully,” she complimented. “What
was the name of the piece?”
“That, little lady,” he informed,
“is a number called ‘Seven Years
With the Wrong Woman!’”
“It sounded so nice,” she thrilled.
“Yeah, sister,” he sighed cynical
ly. “But that’s probably because I
only played the first year!” . . .
Some articles crowded out of thia
issue will appear next week.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 193S
What of the present day when
compared with less than a hundred
years ago in the observance of the
Sabbath day. It is said that in 1860
a person who took a railroad train
on Sunday in the state of Massa
chusetts was liable to a fine of $lO.
Railroads permitting passengers
other than those journeying to
church were punished by having
their Sunday trains suspended for
two successive Sundays. As late as
1860 the Massachusetts statute pro
vided that “Whoever travels on the
Lord’s Day, except from necessity or
charity, shall be punished by fine not
exceeding $lO for each offense.”—
