Thoughts
About Cheese
By HARRY AUSTIN CLAPP.
Romance In cheese. Adventure in
cheese. Aye, in simple quantities, but
to enjoy the trip, one must need *
magic carpet on which one may be
transported to the cheese land of ro-
mance and adventure. Some time ago
Gov. A. G. Schmedeman of Wiscon-
am, conceived the idea of a National
Cheese Week and named the week
of Dece mber 11 to 16. He did this with
the very practical purpose of calling
attention to the value of cheese as a
food and hoping to increase the con-
sumption of cheese per family, at
least one pound per week, in order
that the national surplus might be
consumed and a favorable market
opened for producers of dairy prod-
ucts. The idea took Governors fell
into line and issued proclamations.
Cheese manufacturers studied the
economics of the idea and it is be-
lieved that if cheese week is a sue-
cess that it will mean a substantial
and permanent increase the cheese
consumption and provide an extend
ed market for dairy products.
While we are the largest manufac-
turers of cheese in the world, we are
the smallest consumers, for we eat

man With all the important part
cheese has had in maintaining human
life and adding to its delight, only
one country has honored a cheese
maker.
The French honored Madame Ma-
rie Harel, the discoverer of Cam-
menbert cheese by erecting a statute
in her honor and it stands this day
in the market place of her native
village in Normandy.
Thus one cheese maker attained im-
mortaility. Artists have painted it.
sculptors graved it and poets have
sung of its virtues. It was Boswell
who gave Dr. Johnson, the great
English epicure, the toast that made
one cheese famous. It is said that
Charles Dickens could never have
written his delightful tales unless he
had a generous portion of cheese on
which to nibble. His Christmas carols
were written with cheese in reach.
Dickens loved to write about foods
and he writes most about cheese.
Marie Antoinette while playing as
a dairy maid gave to the world that
delicate Neuchatal cheese known in
her day as Saint Gervais.
Literature and cheese have been
clone associates since cheese history
began. Hippocrates tells us of the
value of cheese made from the milk
of mares and the writer has eaten
cheese in Mexico made from mares
milk that was delicate and delicious
A very hard, long cheese, best eaten
with panoche.
So important was cheese considered
that at one time, long before books
were ever heard of, wealth was reck-
oned in cheese. It was their standard
of value and woe to the man who at-
tempted to deflate or inflate the sac-
red standard. The ancients knew
nothing of calories, but they did
know that cheese was a substantial
food and placed high value on it The
world knows of about 400 varieties
of cheese They belong to 18 distinct
families and the best known are
Brick, Caccionavalle, Cammembert,
Cheddar, Cream. Edam, Emmanthal-
er, Gorgonzola, Gouda Hand, Loaf.
Limburger, Neufchatal. Parmesan,
Pecorino, Romano, Roquefort, Sap-
sago and Trappist.
The ordinary man need know no
more for he will indeed be a cheese
expert. O. yes. In the past ages
cheese received warm welcome from
kings and commoners, but today with
all our enlightment, we nibble and
do not eat. And so we have cheese
week. A week in which to learn how
and when to eat cheese How to glo-
rify this most wonderful food.
Texas is learning how to make deli-
cious cheese and in Denison is a
cheese factory that makes several
varieties, all delicious, all with a
tang and flavor that compels a sec-
ond serving but the king of them all
is what is known on the market as
"Old English Cheese.” A supply of

NEGRO HOME DEMONSTR TION
CLUB NOTES
The Blessing Home Demonstration
Club met at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. John Miller Thursday, Dec. 7 to
witness a meat cutting and canning
demonstration given under the su-
pervision of Mr. Stevens and Mrs.
Washington.
The women were organized to pre-
pare the various products the main
points Mrs. Washington suggested for
the group to observe during the meat
canning first, cleanliness in handling
all products; second, pre-cooking of
all meats to have hot when sealed;
third, checking to see that each can
is properly sealed and see that prod-
ucts are processed sufficient to in-
sure complete sterilization.
Mr. Stevens gave the demonstra-
tion in meat cutting and stressed the
important points in butchering to get
first class meat, all points were care-
fully observed. Mrs. Washington
stressed quality in all home canned
meats, with the group organized un-
der the supervision of Mrs. Washing-
ton the meat was soon made into
roasts, steaks, chili, stew, soup stock
and sausage, pork chops and pork
ribs also were canned. Twenty-one
persons witnessed the demonstration.
Two hundred and twenty-eight con-
tainers was canned. There will be
other such demonstrations given in
the Pledger, Sargent and LeTulle
farm communities. Mrs. F. Irvin, re-
porter.

Old Time Friend
By EDSON R. WAITE
I Met an old friend today that I had
not seen for many years. In fact, he
was an old man when 1 was a young
man. He told me he had been on this
earth sufficient years to have a de-
cided leaning toward old customs and
that new-fangled ideas had little ap-
peal to him. He seems to think that
the world has not improved but has
degenerated.
My old-time friend seems to be a
thorough fatalist. He is firmly con-
vinced that everything is fore-ordain-
ed. He is content because he sees 110
reason to cross bridges before he
comes to them. He thinks he knows
exactly where they are and that it is
time enough to cross them when he
reaches them. ,
I realize that the old man's outlook
is not entirely wrong. He is right to
wait for the bridges until he comes
to them. What is wrong is that there
has been a rushing ahead and erec-
tion of crossings, in many instances,
before the road to them had been
built.
My friend also said tills country is
suffering from an affliction of gid-
diness brought on by too many new
and strange customs.
BEER CODE EXPECTED
TO END RACKETEERING
WASHINGTON. — The chairman
of the code committee of the Nation-
al Brewery Wholesalers and Distrib-
utor's Association said he reflected
the opinion of the committee mem-
bers in asserting that the brewery
distributors’ code was drafted with
the expectation that it "will break
up recketeering, price-cutting and
other unfair competition methods."
The code was submitted to both the
national recovery administration and
the agricultural adjustment adminis-
tration. Date for the joint hearing has
not yet been fixed, pending comple-
tion of hearings on the brewers’ code.
seriously crippled by the loss of the
business.
In the New Deal cutthroat competi-
tion is held to be out of order. The
principle of fair competition should
be adhered to in developing traffic
on the inland waterways.
Good Roads Pay
It has been frequently asserted that
good roads really cost nothing in the
long run, but yield a profit on the
investment necessary to provide them.
According to Thomas P. Henry of
the American Automobile Associa-
tion, good roads have reduced the
cost of automobile operation from
an average of 10 cents a mile to 6.43
cents a mile in the last few years.
This means that for a trip of 100
miles the expense is now $3.75 less
than it would have been under aver-
as conditions in 1925, taking into ac-
count the cost of gasoline, the less
wear on cars and tires, and some al-
lowance for time saved.
If these savings are only sufficient
to offset the additional gasoline and
other taxes necessary to build the
highways the motorist is still ahead
of the game, because of the greater
satisfaction and comfort enjoyed while
on the road.

conscious that an extremely diffi-
cult competitive situation exists in
this industry,” owing to many thou-
sands having gone into the business
"because it is a simple thing to
start in a small way." Pointing out
that the hearing would be confined
to the labor provisions, he asked that
all be tolerant as witnesses appeared,
as “some will urge high wages and
others' will ask for low wages on the
ground that they cannot otherwise
remain in business." He said those
present doubtless were aware that
codes of fair competition now in ef-
fect are working well and “far bet-
ter than the NRA had anticipated."
He added that "many of those most
outspoken in opposition to those
codes now concede they are operat-
ing successfully.”
Golden Thoughts
By JEWEL RICE.
Happy ways and sad ways.
Bright and sunny smiles.
Glad and winsome days.
Some thought someone beguiles.
Fair days on smooth highways.
Someone toiling for their life.
In gladness or despair it pays
To someone, sadness and strife.
My thoughts may be your lesson
Your lesson you will learn.
It may be a true confession
And a new road you may turn.
Let your thoughts be golden gems
They may ripen to success
Just put aside your cares and whims
They may help you do your best.
Foolish men, make heroes.
Anyway this world wasn't made in
a day.
Let your thoughts be an answer to
someone's woes
And move the stone that's in their
way.

Announcing
NEW FORD V8 for 1934
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
rhe New Ford V-8 for1934 is now on display at the showrooms of Ford dealers. Surpassing
even the great Ford of1933 in economy, beauty and comfort, it is truly the car of this mod-
ern age—the culmination of thirty years Ford progress. It combines the proved performance
of the V-8 cylinder engine with two important new features—Dual Carburetion and
perfected Clear-vision Ventilation. See this car today and drive it at the first opportunity.
OUTSTANDING
BETTER PERFORMANCE. Greater power,
new speed, quicker acceleration, smoother per-
| formance, more miles per gallon especially at
higher speeds, and quicker starting in cold
weather—all these result from the new dual car-
buretor and dual intake manifold. New water-
line thermostats enable the engine to warm up
more quickly and to maintain an efficient oper-
ating temperature. Added engine refinements
reduce oil consumption, further improve operat-
ing economy and reduce maintenance costs.
NEW VENTILATION SYSTEM permits clear
vision, prevents drafts and provides desired
amount of fresh air in any weather. Individual
control for front and rear side windows. When
ventilation is desired the window glass is raised
to the top. Then the handle is given an addi-
tional half-turn. This slides the glass back
horizontally to form a narrow slot. Through
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
this slot air is drawn out by the forward motion
of the car. This simple ventilation system main-
tains draft-free circulation, insures passenger
comfort, prevents fogging windshield in cold or
stormy weather. Both windshield and cowl ven-
tilator can be opened to supply additional air
needed for comfortable warm-weather driving.
DISTINCTIVE NEW APPEARANCEenhanced

shell and grille, new hood louvres, new hub caps.

stery, new mouldings, new cove-type headlining,
