Planning for Home
Vegetable Freezing
Pay particular attention to the
variety of vegetables you plant in
the garden. Certain varieties are
better for freezing than others.
A pretty good idea to follow in
planting is to make several differ
ent plantings on different dates.
This keeps the home maker from
being overworked and, too, you
don’t have to put too many unfro
zen packages in the home freezer
at one time, that are too tough due
to not being able to gather the en
tire crop.
Plan to freeze the amount of
vegetables needed for your family.
This is an easy item if you follow
a family preservation guide. These
guides are available at this office.

report, the State Patrol was very
busy in '61 and a fair portion of
their time was spent in rounding up
the more than 40,000 who were driv
ing under the influence of intoxi
cants, speeding, failing to stop on
red light or sign, following too close
behind another vehicle, or some
other practice forbidden by law.
12,952 of a total of 13,395 cases
where a license was revoked were
for driving while under the influ--
ence ‘of liquor. As to suspensions,
8,222 of them were for speeding.
The Georgia law in some cases
makes it mandatory that a license

as much as three years is not joy

er. The length of time depends on
the nature of the offense and the
action taken by the Public Safety

were 55,114; 14,075 on driving tests;
and 2,866 on vision tests. Nearly
60,000 failed cn their first try and
less than 10,000 on the second.
The Director of the Ga. Dept, of

declared:
“As long as drivers become reck

remove as many reckless drivers

When a young man begins to pay taxes, he
assumes a share of the cost of government.
This is a bill on which he will pay through
all his productive years. Literally, then, he
has a price on his head. You could call it
the price of liberty.
If free*enterprise business did not bear a
large share of the tax load, the individual
taxpayer’s burden would be staggering. But
every investor-owned business contributes.
The 1961 tax bill of the Georgia Power Com
pany, for example, was nearly $28 million.
This money helps to pay for schools, roads,
defense—in fact, for all the growing costs
of government.
It is good that the load is borne on many
shoulders. Should socialism ever destroy free
enterprise, taxes could become so great that
the young taxpayers of this and all future
generations would be left destitute.

To remind the nation in these
troubled times of the faith, hope
and redeeming power of the Chris

to read on Easter Sunday the resur

done wherever each individual
happens to be, millions of Ameri
