Complaints Dropping
According to Records
Os Welfare Office
(Georgia News Service)
Judging from an analysis of let
ters received and answers during
August by the State Department of
Public Welfare, many Georgia coun
ties either are satisfied with the
progress of the Public Welfare As
sistance program or are responding
to the appeal of Arthur Lucas, Chair
man of the State Board that, “every
one cooperate in giving this new pro
gram a fair test.”
The August report of Mrs. Lucille
M. Hood, Supervisor of the Case
Referral Section, to Lamar Mur
daugh, State Department Director,
shows that for the first time since
the department has been in opera
tion, no letters of complaint or in
quiry have been received from 17
Georgia counties. Only two letters
were received from 19 counties and
only three from 28 counties.
The majority of the letters re
ceived from other counties were for
additional information in regard to
Old Age Pensions, Aid to the Needy
Blind and Dependent Children. Many
of the others sought information with
reference to Civilian Conservation
Corps enrollment and Child Welfare
problems.
Most of the complaints were
against no home visit yet being made
by investigators. These constituted
85 per cent of the Old Age Assist
ance complaints, 85 per cent of those
with reference to Dependent child
ren and 50 per cent relative to Aid
to Needy Blind. Lamar Murdaugh,
Director of the State Department, al
ready has explained that these in
vestigations are being made as rapid
ly as physically possible in compliance
with State and Federal regulations
and approximately 7,000 additional
names will be added to the Public
Assistance pay roll in October.
The remainder of the complaints
consist largely of letters from non
residents who wish to return to
Georgia to lake advantage of the
State’s liberal Public Assistance laws.
Others come from sons and daughters
who resist being called on to assist
parents although financially able to
do so.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
SELECTING “NATIVE” GEORGIA BEEF
By Katherine Lanier, Food Preserva
tion and Utilization Specialist,
Georgia Extension Service.
(Edtor’s Note: This is the first of
two articles on selecting and cooking
“native” Georgia Beef. The second
article will be published next week.
It will be followed by a series of six
recipes for preparing “native” beef
in order to best bring out its deli
cious flavor and palatability. These
recipes will appear in successive is
sues of this paper. They should
make an excellent addition to the
cookery knowledge of homemakers
who read the Early County News.)
♦ * *
With Georgia becoming increasing
ly important as a livestock produc
ing state, housewives are paying more
attention to the selection of good cuts
of “native” beef. For many years,
“native” beef was not held in as high
esteem as western meat but improv
ed herds and better methods have
gone far to make “native” Georgia
beef as palatable as the finest west
ern meat.
Whether the family shall enjoy the
best cuts of “native” beef depends
on the knowledge of the housewife.
Purchasing meat is a daily problem
for many housewives. During the
last few years there has been a
sharpening of interest in all buying
problems. Consumers are beginning
to want to know how they may get
the most for their money.
The homemaker’s use of purchas
ing power is a definite responsibility
because, whether wisely or poorly
used, it affects the individual, and
her family meals are among the most
expensive items.
Few homemakers know what de
termines the price and quality of
meat, what cuts of meat to ask for;
what cuts are suitable for certain
uses; the relative cost, nutritive
value, and palatability of various
cuts. Usually the housewife depends
on the butcher’s judgment in select
ing her meats when she specifies to
him that she wants a “good” piece of
meat.
When the housewife goes to market
to buy a piece of beef, she has to
think of two things—she wants a cut
that will fill the desired place in the
menu and at the same time be con
sistent with the content of her pocket
book.
With the knowledge of the differ
ent cuts and how to cook them in
order to bring out their best qualities,
she can select and serve appetizing
meals to suit her pocket book.
There is, perhaps, as much art in
meat cookery as in any other type of
food preparation. If meat is not de
licious when served it is because it
has not been properly and carefully
prepared.
Variety in meat dishes are essen
tial, and a knowledge of combining
the right vegetable and relishes with
meats, as well as preparing the meat
in many appetizing ways, is a sub
ject that requires thought and study
to obtain the best results in your
menu.
In purchasing beef a bright red
color is desirable and it is as essen
tial as the preparation.
Flesh must be firm and well mot
tled or “marbled” with fat which is
a cream white and firm. Different
cuts of beef from the same animal
vary greatly in tenderness. Tender
cuts are listed as:
1. Steaks—sirloin, porterhouse,
tenderloin, club, rib (short cut).
2. Roast—rib, loin.
Less tender cuts are:
1. Steaks—chuck, shoulder, flank,
round, rump.
2. Roast—chuck, rib, cross arm,
round, rump.
3. Stew—neck, plate and brisket,
flank, shank, hell or round.
REWARD!
A suitable reward will be paid
for information regarding the willful
destruction of the city traffic sig
nals recently installed in various
sections of the city.
