William J. Nix, Sept. 25,
TO THE VOTERS OF FORSYTH COUNTY:
At the request of numerous friends throughout the County
/ have entered the race for Clerk of Superior Court of Forsyth
County, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic
Primary to be held August 8, 1972.
My personal belief is that this office belongs to the people
of the County, and if elected to this office / pledge to operate
it in such a way that you will feel that it is your office and
that I do not own it. YOU WILL BE WELCOME AND TREATED
IN A FRIENDLY, COURTEOUS MANNER AND NO PARTIALITY WILL
BE SHOWN TO ANYONE. In my thinking, a citizen of this
County, regardless of financial circumstances, wants to be, and
deserves to be treated in a dignified, friendly manner.
/ fully understand what the pay of this office is, and /
will not enter into a conspiracy with the Chairman of the
County Commissioners and hold secret, night meetings with
members of the State Legislature, and other elected officials to
get County salaries raises for this four year term. / feel that the
taxpayers burden is becoming more than we can bear and these
raises were engineered mostly without your knowledge and against
your wishes. At a publicized meeting of approximately 400 to 500
concerned taxpayers no one from any County office was pre
sent to explain why a raise for Courtty officials was needed at
that time.
As clerk of the Jury Revisors / shall recommend that they
place the names of more of our good citizens in both the Grand
Jury and Petit Jury Boxes. I think that it is a personal insult
to many of our citizens that they could live a lifetime in this
county, and never be given the opportunity to serve the County
in this manner. / know that many of you decent, upright
citizens don't actually desire to be placed in the Jury boxes but
/ also know that you resent the fact that a select few are
always there, and you are completely ignored.
Recently / served on the County Board of Tax Assessors
on a temporary basis. You will recall that an attempt was made
by the County Commissioners to raise property valuations on a
great many home owners and a suit was brought in Court.
Judge Marion Pope asked me to serve a short time as tax
assessor and roll back these new valuations to their previous level,
and levy the County's taxes so that our schools and other
services would not have to dose. This / did, but /am no
longer a member of this board. This action prevented the
utter destruction of our County, where / have spent all my
life and -which I truly love. / definitely favor Tax relief for the
small land and home owners, who are presently overburdened with
ad valorem taxes and if elected / will do everything within my
power to help relive this burden.
/ am married and we have one daughter. / graduated
from Gumming High School and attended North Georgia
College at Dahlonega, and I have had more than 25 years
of business experience in the Feed and Poultry Business.
All this, / feel, will eminently qualify me to serve as
Clerk of our Superior Court and / will appreciate your
kind consideration when you go to the voting booth to
select a new Clerk of Court. Elect me to this office and /
will be ever mindful of the Taxpayers Interest for the
next four years.

I am sure there were many
others who served whose tomb
stones do not indicate lt. A six
volume set containing the
rosters for the state of Georgia
Is available In most public and
high school libraries In the State
of Georgia.
It was extremely hard during
the Civil War for most families
to obtain the remains of those
killed In action. A number were
unidentified and buried close
to where they were killed. In
cases where they carried Iden
tifying papers, the family some
times had to bring the remains
home In a wagon from great
distances.
The extremely hard situation
then as now was when a loved
member of the family was shown
on the list as captured or mis
sing and was not heard from
again.

HOME FOOD PRESERVATION

You have unlimited opportun
ity to provide nutritious, appe
tizing meals for your family.
For many families,home pro
duction can save money, time,
energy and add interest to fam
ily meals.
In planning to process foods
In the home, may I urge you
to use only quality products.
Whether the product is produced
at home or bought, don't waste
you time and money In pro
cessing an Inferior product.
Consider the different ways to
process each food. Having a
wide varley of home processed
foods make meal planning and
preparation so easy!
Another pitfall to avoid
don't attempt to process too
much foot at one time. Many
products loose their goodness
by staying In toe home too long
before they are processed. Ar
range your processing schedule
so that the foods can be pro
cessed quickly. If possible, try
to process some each day.
Check all toe equipment and
supplies. Be sure you have ev
erything ready and In working
condition before you start pro
cessln foods.
Keep an accurate record of
toe foods you process. For best
results, it should be used within
12 months.

THE SCOOP ON
ICE CREAM
l;-H»
la the making and eating
of ice cream, milk sherbet
and sherbet, there are several
small but interesting bits of
information and helpful
tricks. Here are some hints by
Carolyn Anderson, author of
“The Complete Book of
Homemade Ice Cream, Milk
Sherbet and Sherbet,” just
published by Saturday
Review Press.
1. A fork is the best tool
for digging into ice cream
that is too firm to scoop. A
cake breaker is good for
slicing firm ice cream.
2. If no cooking is re
quired, often the ingredients
can be combined right in the
freezer can, which means
fewer dishes to wash.
3. If ice cream is to be
hand-stirred during freezing,
or if it is to be removed from
one container to another, use
a wooden spoon to prevent
transfer of heat from the
hand to the mix.
4. Always allow space in
the freezer can for expansion
of the ice cream when it
freezes. Approximately one
third of the can is needed for
the swell.
5. Cool the mix to room
temperature or slightly lower
before freezing. Churn
freezing a warm mix may
cause a buttery texture due
to an increased freezing
period.
These and many other
hints are included in Miss
Anderson’s book which also
features chapters on . the
history of ice cream and
sherbet,, how to make home
made ice cream, milk sherbet
and sherbet, and ice cream
dieting and nutritive value, as
well ns hundreds of recipes.
When it comes to helpful
advice on how to make the
best ice crenm, Miss Anderson
really dishes it out. And, if
the popularity of this treat is
any indication, millions of
Americans will happily be
taking it.
processing actually begins.
This Is an excellent way to
Insure getting a quality product
your family will enjoy.
One final recommendation,
always follow up-to-date dlrec- i
Hons backed by research. Two
free bulletins, "Canning For
Your Family” and "Freezing
Foods at Home”, are available
In my office.
