Home Freezing
Of Vegetables
People are concerned about the
high cost of living. Food, of course
Is a large item in the family bud
get and many people would like
to know how to economize o . food
buying.
The homemaker, whether s&e liv
es on a farm or in the city, knows
the advantage of frozen vegetables
as time savers and as a way of pro
viding variety in her.meals all year
‘round. '
Food, not the freezer, represents
“freezer living”. Homemakers are
becoming more and more aware
that adequate protection for food
is essential.
Freezing is a safe, easy way to
preserve vegetables. Freezing does
not improve vegetables but jt will
retain the original flavor, color and
nutritive value if proper methods
are followed.
Select vegetables of high quality
and then process them promptly to
prevent chemical changes and fur
ther maturity.
Select varieties especially suitable
for freezing.
Harvest tender vegetables at the
best stage to be eaten fresh -- or
slightly younger. Overmature ve
getables will be tough while imma
ture vegetables will not have fla
vor.
One of the most frequently asked
questions about freezing vegetables
deals with balancing. All available
research points up the fact that
vegetables must be balanced for
maximum quality. This is a critical
step in preparing vegetables for
freezing and it must be done care
fully.
Follow a reliable blanching sche
dule as underblanching stimulates
the enzymes and is worse than no
blanching while overblanching
causes loss of vitamins, minerals,
flavor and color.
To correctly blanch vegetables,
lower them into vigorously boiling
water (using 1 pound vegetables to
1 gallon water). Begin timing as
soon as vegetables touch water.
Stir water constantly during blanch
ing so each piece of vegetable will
be blanched evenly.
As soon as blanching is complete,
cool the vegetables quickly to stop
the cooking process. This may be
done by running cold tap water
over the vegetables or immersing
them in ice water or spreading
them thinly on a wet towel in front
of an electric fan. Vegetables
should cool in the same length of
time required for blanching.
Use only air-tight, moisture : va-
por-proof containers of glass, tin,
polyethylene or heavily waxed
board. Polyethylene bag in the box
is suitable for any dry pack vege
tables.
Immediately after blanching and
cooling, package in family size con
tainers. Remember to exclude all
air from the package and fasten it
air tight.
Label each package with name
of product and date frozen.
Quick freeze the vegetable
promptly. They should freeze solid
in 12 hours.
Stacking the packages and over
loading the freezer at one time will
slow down the freezing process re
sulting in poorer quality.
Hold down vegetables at zero de
grees F. or lower temperature until
you are ready to prepare for the
family.
Vegetables frozen by these simple
steps and held at zero degrees F.
will not show any quality losses
for 12 months.

$14 Extra
For Shepard
Washington, DC. — Cmdr. A. B.
Shepard, Jr., earned an extra
$14.38 for riding a rocket into space
a few days ago.
As a commander on flying duty,
Shepard is entitled to an extra $230
a month. He has to fly four hours
a month for it.
His space' voyage — 302' miles
down the Atlantic from Cape Ca
naveral — took 15 minutes. Thus
he earned one 16th of his flight
pay for May, or $14.38.
Shepard gets no special compen
sation for serving as an astronaut.
In a sense he flew so fast it cost
him money .

OUR BEST
Hear ye the Master’s call,
“Give Me thy best!”
For, be it great or small,
That is His test.
Do then the best you can,
Not for reward.
Not for the praise of man,
But for the Lord.
Night soon comes on a-pace,
Day hastens by;
Workman and work must face
Testing on high
Oh, may we in that day
Find rest, sweet rest,
Which God has promised those
Who do their best.
CHORUS:
Every work for Jesus shall be blest,
Rut He asks from everyone his best.
Our talents may be few,
These may be small,
But unto Him is due
Our best, our all.
Every work for Jesus shall be blest
LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL
Lead on, O King Eternal,
The day of march has come;
Hence forth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be thy home:
Thro’ days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong
And now, 0 King Eternal,
We lift our battye song.
Lead on, O King Eternal,
1 ill sin’s fierce war shall cease,
An dlloliness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace;
Nor roll of stirring drums;
'A ith deeds of love and mercy,
The heav’nly kingdom comes.
Lead on, O King Eternal:
We follow, not with fears —
For gladness breaks like morning
For not with swords loud clashing,
\\ her-e’re Thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o’re us;
We journey in its light:
1 he crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O King of might.
Half Dozen Men
To Spend Half Million
For $2,000 Position
Atlanta, Ga. — Indications are
that half a dozen or more young
men feeling no pain financially
now may spend a total of a half
million dollars next year compet
ing for a job which has a salary
of $2,000 a year fixed by the state
constitution.
All of them are making several
times that amount now, So why
would they want the job? The only
answer—and most laymen find it
hard or impossible to understand
—is political ambition. When the
itch of politics starts, there seems
nothing to do but scratch.
The job is that of Lt. Gov. of the
state. The revised constitution of
1945 set the salary. But in reality
the per diem allowance for the
time spent on state business and
other emoluments up the take. Gov.
Vandiver who formerly held the
office estimated the actual pay at
about $12,000. He threw out the fig
ure at a recent news conference.
There are now six announced,
unannounced or considering candi
dates for the office which Garland
Byrd will vacate to make a bid for
governor. The voters will say at
the Democratic primary next sum
mer who they want far the job.
Altho none of the six will say so
it’s a safe bet that each feels elec
tion to the governor’s office may
follow in 1966 if he can be chosen
Lieutenant Governor in 1962.
The top vice president of any
company usually feels he will step
up to the presidency when the old
man bows out.
Men who have been connected
with political campaigns in the
past estimate it will take $60,000
for a candidate to make what they
call a respectable race for the of
fice. Don’t get the idea any candi
date will spend that much him
self. Some may be out very little
when its all over.
Prospective or possible aspirants
include:
Carl Sanders, 35, of Augusta. The
former University of Ga. football
player is president pro tern of the
Senate. That means he is second
in command.
Peter Geer, 33 of Colquitt, ex-
eeptive secretary to Gandiver at
$10,000 a year. He will resign the
post early in the spring a reliable
source advises the AP that he
never has planned to make a po
litical race out of the governor’s
office.
Culver Kidd, 46, owner of a drug
store at Milledgeville and Baldwin
County representative for several
terms. Most of the legislation he
sponsors has one aim—to improve
the huge Milledgeville State Hos
pital.
John Sheffield Jr., 35, a turpen
tine farmer from Quitman and a
member of the house from Brooks
county. He is serving his 7th con
secutive term as representative. He
has always been a staunch sup
porter of former Gov. Griffin.
Denmark Groover, 38, of Macon,
a former two-term member of the
House from Bibb. He said recently
his decision to run or not to run
would depend in no way on who
is a eandidatefor any other office.
Carl Sanders, 44, Atlanta attor
ney who only a few years ago
made his living by riding a mo
torcycle as a city traffic police
man. He was the first to announce
formally.
If competition is the life-blood
of our economic system, it is time
for a transfusion.
J Newspaper writers and radio com-
imentators are now busy selecting
our next President.
[ If anybody Wants more of it,
there are scientists to assert that
life is possible on other planets.
