ORDER EASTERN STAR
- Regular meetings are held at the
Masonic Hall on the 2nd and 4th
Thursday nights of each month. The
time is 8:00 p. m, EST, during the
winter and at 8:30 at other times.
MRS. VIVIAN REYNOLDS,
Worthy Matron
MRS. PEARL HOUSTON,
. Secretary.
Early March is the last date for fer
tilizing pecan trees around the home.
And all pecan trees need fertilizer (a
complete one containing nitrogen,
phosphate and potash) whether they.
are growing in a large commercial
grove or on a lawn,
Fertilizers are needed by pecan
trees for continued growth and pro
duction just as ham and eggs are used
by man’s body to give him strength
and energy to live and work.
Young, growing pecan trees should
produce new growth at the rate of
from 8 to 24 inches each growing
season. To obtain this growth, each
tree should receive three pounds of
5-10-15, 6-12-12, 4-12-12 or 8-8-8 ferti
lizer for each year the tree has been
growing. Apply to the soil beneath
the tree,
A tree that has been or will be
transplanted during the current dor
mant season needs three pounds of
fertilizer while a three-year-old tree
would need nine pounds. When young
trees are not growing fast enough,
add one-half cup or so of a fertilizer
containing nitrogen. only to the soil‘
for each year the tree has been grow
ing.
Older trees that are producing nuts
usually need the same amount of
NPK fertilizers—three pounds for each
year of age or for each inch in trunk
diameter two feet above the soil line.
Producigg trees should have an an
nual twig growth rate of from five
to eight inches. Adjust any additional
nitrogen fertilizer that may-be used
according to the trees’ annual growth.
Many trees growing “uptown” need
zine; this is applied as zinc sulfate
using about one-half pound for each
inch in trunk diameter. The absence
of zinc in the' trees causes a condi
tion called “Rosette” which shows up
in numerous dead twigs and under
sized nuts of poor quality.
All of these fertilizers can be ap
plied to the grass on the lawn. They
should, however, be watered off the
grass and into the soil. @
REGULAR EXERCISE ADVISED
Exercise can be a big help in con
trolling weight, USDA nutritionists
have pointed out. More activity in the
daily routine can further the cause of
a reducing diet, or with no change in
diet at all it can bring about a gradual
loss of weight and fat. However, long
hours of strenuous exercise are not
necessary; less strenuous exercise is
Corn Varieties
Are Recommended
On Basis Of Tests
Good seed is of first importance in
producing high, economical corn yields,
declares J. R. Johnson, head of the
Cooperative Extension Service agrono
my department at the University of
Georgia.
Mr. Johnson pointed out that hybrids
which are recommended to Georgia
farmers have been tested for at least
three years by the Georgia Experi
ment Stations and found to be super
ior in yield, lodging resistance and
grain quality,
Hybrids recommended for 1961 are:
Mountains—Dixie 33, Dixie 65, Dixie

Georgia 101 may be planted for hog

before lodging.
Good seed will utilize adequate fer
tilization and reduce cost of produc
tion, Mr. Johnson said.
The agronomist urged Georgia farm
ers to have their soil tested, plant
to a stand of 12,000 to 14,000 plants
per acre, control weeds and harvest
early. “The Extension Service has a
goal of 40 bushels per acre as the
state average. To reach this goal
farmers must use seed of highest qual

V. A. Asks Veterans i
. Not To Inqur've About |
Insuran e Dividends
= |
Veterans who are expecting a Gl|
insurance dividend check under the
President’s speed-up payment plan can’
help themselves and VA get the job,
done by NOT making advance indi-.
vidual inquiries. )
Accelerated dividend payments is|
one of a series of Presidential actions
to assist the economy.
A. W. Tate, Manager, Veterans Ad
ministration Regional Office, Atlanta,
Georgia, explained that answering a
flood of questions from individual.
veterans would divert personnel from
processing the dividends, and thus
create a delay.
Stepped-up payment of the quarter
billion dollar 1961 G. I. insurance divi
dend to more than five-million veter
ans should be substantially completed
‘in about four weeks.
Mr. Tate said that the Veterans Ad
ministration will complete the pay
ment of 1200,000 dividends valued at
$54,000000 by the end of this week.
The VA plans to authorize another
1,500 0600 checks totaling $50,000,000 by
March 4, and finish processing the
remaining 3,000,000 payments worth
$144,000.000 during the last week in
March.
The payments, which normally
would be spread throughout the entire
year of 1961, are being accelerated by
order of the President as a stimulus
to the national economy. .
Mr. Tate said that the last week in
March had been set as a deadline for
the VA to complete the last of its
work on the dividends, and that all
payment vouchers are expected to be
in the hands of Treasury Disbursing
Offices by that date. The preparation
and mailing of checks by Treasury
should be completed within Two to|
five days following receipt of the VA |
data. ~
When the President announced the
“speed up” order on February 1, VA
officials estimated payments could be
made at the outside by June 30, and
expressed the hope that all out efforts
could result in total payment well in
advance of that date,
With the advantage of two-weeks
actual “tooling up” and expedited pay
ment experience, Mr. Tate said the
VA is convinced the last .week in
March deadline can be met through
use of overtime work and the loan of
some equipment by other agencies.
He added that dividends processed to
date included both “speed up” pay
ments since February 1, and regular
payments made during the month of
January,
Of the total $258 500,000 in dividends,
$240,000 000 goes to about 4,800,000
World War II veterans holding Na
tional Service Life Insurance (NSLI)
and $18,500,000 to some 260,000 World
War I veterans who have U, S. Gov
ernment Life Insurance (USGLI) poli
cies,
Mr, Tate asked the help of veterans
in speeding the payments by urging
them not to make advance lndividual“
inquiries about dividends. The answer
ing of inquiries. he explained, would
divert personnel from work on the
dividends, and thus create a delay in
payments. |

MY POSITION ON this sub
ject was stated before the Senate
in 1958 in these words:
“I subscribe wholehearted
ly to the concept of utilizing
the wealth and resources of
the United States to strength
en its military posture. 1
accept cheerfully the Chris
tian and humanitarian re
sponsibility of sharing our
supplies of food and fiber to
help feed and clothe the hun

Job Seekers Should \
Not Be Too Choosy,
Says Com. Hu.iet‘
Atlanta, Ga. — Georgia’s Commis
sioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet had a
couple of suggestions to employees
who may be out of work or thinking
of quitting their jobs. :
“Among the 65,000 manufacturingl
workers who quit their Georgia jobs
last year,” Commissioner Huiet stated,
“were many who were too finicky and
who threw up their work on the spur |
of the moment without actually hav
ing a new job. A large percentage of
them are now full of remorse, walking
the streets unable to find work. Cer
tainly, when job opportunies are as
slack as they are now, a fellow ought
to think seriously and long before he
walks out on his meal ticket.”
The commissioner added that those
looking for work should not be too
“choosy” and should leave no stones
unturned in looking for work.
Mr. Huiet told of one worker re
cently retired from the Ar my after 21
years' service. He went to an office
of the Georgia State Employment
Service where a counselor advised
him to try his last civilian employer.
This man was pleasantly surprised
to learn that his old employer was
looking for a man with his exact quali
fications. He is back at work at a
salary of more than five times as
much as he made when he left 21 years
ago,” Georgia's Labor Commissioner
related. A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush,” he concluded. ‘

Events and developments since
have served to strengthen that
view and I have endeavored in
speeches and statements to make
it clear that my opposition is
to indiscriminate foreign spend
ing, particularly in the economic
realm, and not to the concept of
mutual security or Christian char
ity. It is such spending which I
would end and it is against such
spending that I have voted and
shall continue to so vote for as
long as I have the privilege to
serve the people of Georgia in
the Senate.

NO MAN WHO has a consci
ence and a sense of Christian
duty could refuse to give his sup
port to all reasonable and practi
cal programs which will assure
the security of his country and
help the needy of other countries.
But, by the same token, it is im
possible to understand how a man
possessing those attributes can
vote to squander the resources of
his country through programs
shrouded in secrecy, devoid of
any promise of accomplishment
and steeped in the threat of na
tional bankruptecy.
Congress should examine each
\ foreign spending proposal on its
indivinual merit and, if it would
do so, I would vote for a reason
able program of military assist
ance to dependable allies and a
practical program to help feed
the hungry and clothe the naked.
However, as long as the Tump

my convictions and do cther than
vote against it.

Fried Chicken
®
l Is Favorite,
’ Survey Shows
Chicken is the meat preferred for
Sunday dinner by the average Georgia
homemaker in typical urban areas,
while pork is the meat she prepares
most for the main meals on weekdays.
| The meat choices are among the
facts revealed in a survey on meat
purchasing habits of Georgia urban
women. Home Economists Jessie J.
Mize and Frankye E. Bland conducted
the survey of randomly selected fami
lies in Waycross, Cordele, Dublin and
LaGrange. They report their finding
in a recent bulletin, N. S. 76, Consum
er Motivation and Use of Poultry, is
sued by the Agricultural Experiment
Stations, University of Georgia College
of Agriculture.
Fried chicken is by far the favorite.
according to this survey. Sixty-seven
per cent of the women interviewed
gave frying as their preferred way of
preparing chicken. Even more, 83 per
cent, said they usually fried chicken
when preparing it for a family meal.
Other methods reported were broiling,
baking, cooking with dumplings, and
barbecuing.
Family wishes, acceptability and
habit are the main reasons frying is
the overwhelmingly preferred method
of preparing chicken. researchers Mize
and Bland conclude,
Georgia homemakers know their
chicken, too, if this survey is any
indication. Almost three-fourths of the
women chose the top grade of chicken
when asked which one they would buy.
Reasons given were “looks fresher,”
“has good color”, and ‘plumpness’,
Rightly or wrongly, Georgia home
makers also associate certain types of
people with certain kinds of meats.
The women interviewed associated eat
ing beef or ‘lean” meat with slender
people and associated pork with people
who are overweight,
Each person in the families surveyed
consumed an average of about three
and a half pounds of meat a week.
During the survey weck, pork had been
used by 96 per cent of the homemakers,
poultry by 91 per cont, and beef by
84 percent.
Dr. Mize and Miss Bland conclude
that educational and promotional pro
grams could effectively be based on
nutritional facts and traditional food
choices, as well as on inherent quali
ties in the various meats. They believe
educational suggestions based on cur
rent research, which would give gen
eral cooking directions and yield in
number of average-sized servings,
would be useful to many consumers.
Also, labels on packages in self-service
meat counters might be made more in
formative if quality, grades, and date
of packaging were shown,
