EAT MORE LETTUCE FOR
BETTER HEALTH—
Local stores are now featuring ex
ceptionally good buys on lettuce and
local homemakers are taking ad
vantage of excellent crops this year,
according to statements of Early
county merchants today.
The lettuce crop is essentially
abundant this year and local home
makers are urged to serve as many
lettuce dishes as possible.
According to nutritionists of the
United States Department of Agri
culture, green lettuce is a good
source of carotene which the body
changes into vitamin A. In addition
it has some vitamin B-l, some ribo
flavin and some vitamin C. Besides
these vitamin contributions, lettuce
is a good source of the minerals
iron and calcium. The white leaves,
called bleached lettuce, are not as
good a source of these food values
as are the green leaves. As far as
iron and carotene are concerned, the
thinner and greener the leaf, the
more of these the lettuce contain.
We pass on these “tips” from the
Department of Agriculture about
the preparation of lettuce:
“Cut out the core of the lettuce
with a sharp-pointed knife. Then
put the head under running water
and let water run in where core
has been removed. This loosens and

freshens the leaves—making it easy
to slip the leaves off—each leaf,
whole and unbroken— for use in
preparing salads and sandwiches.
“Naturally, a lettuce leaf under a
salad or in a sandwich will not con
tribute a whole lot of food value. To
get the good from lettuce, eat more
of it.
“There are many ways to fix let
tuce. It is a perfect vegetable for
salad and it gets along well with al
most any vegetable combination.
Wilt shredded head lettuce or leaf
lettuce in a heavy skillet with some
well-flavored fat—and season it
with vinegar and chopped onions.
Or cut head lettuce up in fourths

4-H CLUB GIRLS ATTEND
DEMONSTRATION—
At the Fruit Juice canning dem
onstration that Miss Rosa McGee,
Extension Supervisor, and Mrs. Re
becca Gary, former Home Demon
stration Agent of Quitman county,
helped us to put on at Damascus Fri
day afternoon of last week were
the following Club girls: Mary Nell
Davis, Edith Temples, Elinor Land,
Ann Hightower, Elinor Whitehurst,
Betty Adlyn Smith, Juanita and Lo
rena Wells, Inez Corley, Nora Wiley,
Wilma Rene Wells, Joyce Loyless
and Alice Miller, of the Damascus
Club; Joyce Hooten, Joan Webb,
Peggy Farriss, ■ Winifred Alexander
and Maribel Weaver, of the Blakely
Club; Nellie Peek, Frances Peek, Al
ice Clenny, Joe Harper, Frances Rog
ers, May Bridges, Mary Belisle, and
Nina Pearl Palmer, of the Liberty
Hill Club; Vaudine Davis, Betty
Jane Hayes and Betty Ann Tyson,
of the New Hope Club.
These girls brought dewberries
and mayhaws. They learned how to
extract the juice, preserve it and can
it up for future use.
Miss McGee pointed out that the
juice makes excellent fruit juice
for punch or to drink—or it may be
made into jelly.
CANNING DEMONSTRATION
A SUCCESS—
Although Saturday is a hard day
for many housewives to get away
from home, twenty-six ladies attend
ed the two canning demonstrations
held in the county last Saturday.
At Colomokee Saturday morning,
the following ladies brought some
thing to can: Mrs. J. C. Balkcom,
Mrs. Wallace Ivey, Mrs. J. G. Cor
ley, Mrs. Ada Hodges, Mrs. Fred
Pipkin and Miss Margaret Ivey. Miss
Rosa McGee, Mrs. Rebecca Gary and
Miss Ted Phelps demonstrated the
latest recommended methods of pre
paring, canning and processing
string beans, squash, turnip salad,
beets, carrots and English peas.
At Cedar Springs, in the after-
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
noon, the following ladies were pres
ent: Mrs. A. C. Chandler, Mrs. John
M. Bowen, Miss Ada Pearl Chandler,
Mrs. J. B. Johnson, Mrs. Jack Gar
rett, Mrs. Jeff Hoover, Mrs. Oscar L.
Bynum, Mrs. Dick Wingate, Mrs. J.
W. Plymail, Mrs. James S. Willough
by, Mrs. L. H. Baughman, Mrs. S.
A. Wright, Mrs. C. H. Baughman,
Mrs Curlie Jackson, Mrs. Alton Mer
cer, and Mrs. R. P. Pyle. Mr. Joe
Jackson and Mr. L. H. Baughman
were also present.
At this demonstration, squash,
string beans, and mayhaw juice were
used. Some of the ladies attending
the demonstration brought the pro
duce to use in the demonstraion.
Some of the points especially
stressed were: Can strictly fresh
produce; “2 hours from stalk to
can” is a good slogan; watch your
cans carefully for soundness and a
good smooth top; place the salt in
the bottom of the jar; use jars that
have a standard lid for non-acid veg
etables; if canning in a pressure
cooker, don’t let the steam off too
soon and exhaust the liquid out of
the jars; soak jar lids and rubbers
in hot soda water for a few minutes
before using; pre-cooking in an open
vessel will help to retain the color in
green vegetables.
We have a good supply of canning
bulletins at the County Agent’s of
fice for those who are interested.
It is with pleasure that we see a
community plant going up under the
supervision of Mr. E. H. Cheek,
teacher of vocational agriculture,
here in Blakely. Mr. Cheek says it
should be ready in about two weeks.
PEACH INSPECTION—
We notice that Georgia peach
growers are having peaches shipped
from Georgia, inspected as to ripe
ness and as to size and quality, by
a Federal-State inspection service.
In our opinion, if this job is well
done, it is a forward step in market
ing Georgia products.
WHEAT HARVESTING
UNDER WAY—
There are probably a good many
good fields of wheat in Early county,
but two that are being harvested to
day (Monday, May 23) are those of
Mr. O. H. King, a 15-acre tract, and
of Milton Martin. These fields are
being combined; that is, the wheat is
being cut and threshed at one oper
ation with a combine.
The wheat of Mr. Martin has been
estimated to yield 20 bushels per
acre. Mr. King’s has been estimated
to yield 30 bushels per acre. Os
course, the extended dry weather
reduced the yields some, but both
are good yields. One and one
fourth to one and one-half bushels
of wheat are used to plant an acre.
RIFLE TEAMS TO
ENTER CONTEST—
The following 4-H Club rifle teams
will compete in the county contest:
Liberty Hill, New Hope, Damascus,
Jakin and Blakely. A free trip to
the Wildlife Camp, which will be
held out from Dahlonega, in the
mountains of North Georgia, in
August, will be given to the two
boys and two girls that are winners
in the District Contest.
SPRINGFIELD 4-H CLUB
Springfield 4-H Club held its reg
ular club meeting Thursday, May
21. After the meeting was called
to order, we had some demonsrtra
tions made.
Rudolph Riley and Coy Moulton
demonstrated the Electrical Circuit,
Louise Knight and Trudie McGrew
Some Simple Electrical Repairs, Eas
ter Revels and Vivian Mercer At
tracting a Socket, and Kathleen
Glass and Hazel Harrison the Fuse
Plug. Then we had a poem by Mar
tha Murkerson.
Each project chairman made a re
port. Everyone is getting along
fine in their club work.
Mr. Reed discussed going to camp.
He said as far as he, knew now, we
would leave July 14th and stay un
til July 17th. There will be a swim
ming pool so the boys and girls can
go in swimming. It will be shallow
at one end and deep at the other.
A life guard will be out there to
look after the boys and girls. There
will be a good place for the boys to
play ball.

Registrants to Get
Occupational
Questionnaires
With the mailing next month of
occupational questionnaires to the
thousands of registrants in the state
who are over military age, local
boards in Georgia will speed to com
pletion the state’s inventory of man
power for war production, Brig. Gen.
Sion B. Hawkins, State Director of
Selective Service, announced today.
These occupational questionnaires
which will guide the War Manpower
Commission, in cooperation with the
Selective Service System, for the
mobilization of workers for war in
dustries already have been sent to
the men who registered on February
16, 1942, in the third registration.
Right now, also, local boards are
winding up a similar inventory of
registrants of the first and second
registrations who have not been in
ducted into the armed forces. And
by the first part of June, the Di
rector said, the men between 45 and
65 years of age, who registered on
April 27, 1942, will be receiving
their occupational questionnaires.
The nation will have pressing need,
by late autumn, for around 10,500,-
000 additional war workers, Director
Hawkins said. It is from the .men
beyond the military age, he pointed
out, that the War Manpower Com
mission expects to obtain most of
the male recruits for this work.
However, he asserted, many war
workers also will be obtained from
classes deferred for physical defects
as many men who are unfit for mili
tary service are well qualified for
civilian activities.
The occupational questionnaires
are being sent to all Selective Serv
ice registrants who have not been,
or cannot be, inducted into the
armed forces, Director Hawkins
pointed out, and are not to be con
fused with the regular Selective
Service Questionnaire upon which
classification for military service is
based.
“It is especially important,” he
said, “that registrants in military
age groups who may receive an oc
cupational questionnaire before they
receive the regular questionnaire
keep this distinction carefully in
mind. The two questionnaires are
entirely separated in purpose. The
occupational questionnaire is sent to
a registrant of military age only
because of the possibility that he
may not be qualified for military
service. He then, however, will be
available for civilian war effort.
He must fill out and return both
questionnaires.”
When the occupational question
naires are returned to local boards,
the Director said, they are checked
for completeness and accuracy, and
then are separated into the several
sections of which they are composed.
One section is sent to the Bureau of
the Census, Washington, D. C., for
the attention of its Population Di
vision which is tabulating this data
for the Selective Service System.
Another section is forwarded to the
proper United States Employment
Service office in the area in which
the local board has jurisdiction. The
third section, which duplicates the
data of the other two, is retained by
the local board.
