no decrease in the amount of
gasoline consumed by the Air
Force.

It is also to be considered
that the tire situation will limit
the amount of gasoline for civilian
consumption, as there has
been no increase in the amount
of rubber available for tire
production, since the Japanese
still control a large part of the
territories from which we receive
our raw rubber.

to industry for its accomplishments,"
he added, "which have
enabled the Navy to play a
large and effective part in the
landings of the Allied armies
in Europe, as well as to prosecute
the Pacific war with a
vigor evidenced by the rapid
advance towards Japan in recent
months."

Fleet Admiral King emphasized
that "the very speed of
our advance has created new
production problems. Our accelerated
operations are placing
a heavy strain upon reserves
of certain vital items,
while production of certain
necessities is falling behind
mounting requirements."

LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

The following quotation
from Henry Giles is interesting
to all book-lovers: "The silent
power of books is a great
power in the world; and there
is a joy in reading them which
those alone can known who read
them with desire and enthusiasm.
Silent, passive, and noiseless
though they be, they may
yet set in action countless multitudes,
and change the order
of nations."

"Papa Was a Preacher" --
Sometime ago we mentioned
the synopsis of this book as it
appeared in "Liberty Magazine,"
April 28, 1945. The book
is now in the Library, and because
of its propularity, a reserve
list is being made up so
that those especially interested
in reading it can do so as soon
as possible. The synopsis was
good but, of course, the complete
book is better.
- - - - -

The following anonymous
quotation comes from
"Woman's Home Companion,"
June, 1945: "Use what talents
you possess; the woods would
be very silent if no birds sang
except those who sang the
best."
- - - - -

If you have a man in service,
you had better read the article,
"Beauty Memos from the Military,"
in the "Homemaker" for
May, 1945. Quoting one service
man, this article says,
"When a girl starts combing
her hair at the table, I feel
like pulling out a razor and
taking a shave!"

Mix a cake in 4 1/2 minues!
From Proctor & Gamble Company
comes this new-method
recipe for yellow cake. It is advertised
as being especially
helpful, since it extends red
ration points, stretches the
food dollar, and saves time;
only 4 1/2 minutes are required
for mixing.

Measure into mixing bowl:
2 cups cake flour (sifted before
measuring)
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup Crisco
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk

Stir vigorously by hand, or
with mixer (medium speed) 2
minutes. Now stir in (yes, all
by itself):

3 teaspoons baking powder
(with tartrate type like
Royal, use 4 teaspoons)
Add:
2 eggs (unbeaten)
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Blend by hand or in mixer
(medium speed) for 2 minutes.
The batter will be smooth and
thin. Pour into pans rubbed
with Crisco and lined with waxed
paper. Bake in preheated
oven for the required time and
frost with your favorite frosting.

There is no set rule for the
type of pan you use in baking
the cake. You may bake it in
two 9-inch layers (1 1/2 inch.
deep), or in an oblong pan (8"
x 12"); you may even make
cup cakes.

Baking temperature: 370° F.
Baking time: 25-30 min., layers

Bible School Is Held
By Ceveland Baptist

A Vacation Bible School is
now in session at Middle River
Baptist Church at Cleveland,
S. C.

There have been over one
hundred present at each class,
which is an unusually good attendance
record. Mrs. M. L.
Jarrard is the Director of the
Bible School.

At the close of the school, all
who have attended plan to enjoy
a picnic together.

ONLY ONE MOTHER

Hundreds of stars in a pretty
sky,
Hundreds of shells on the
shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing
by,

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet
the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the
purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the
lawn,
But only one Mother the
wide world over.
-- George Cooper

Could it possibly be as good
as the cake "grandma" used to
make? Don't forget that she
worked for hours, while you
worked only a few minutes with
this new recipe. But we live in
a much faster age than "grand-
ma" did, so why not speed up
our baking methods? Try this
recipe, and the best of luck to
you and your cake!

Remember that Mrs. Scott,
representative from the local
Red Cross chapter in Greenville,
is in the Library each
Tuesday morning from ten to
twelve o'clock. She will assist
families of service men, service
men themselves, and ex-service
men with any problems which
have arisen during the man's
service or following his discharge.
The Red Cross Home
Service worker is anxious to
help you, so giver her a chance
by coming to see her.
