Farm Fresh Cooking FROM YOUR GEORGIA FARMERS MARKET ? >' J GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 8 y* Tommy Irvin, Commissioner “ Did you know Americans eat more peanuts than any other nation in the world -- and Georgia provides 43 percent of the country’s supply of the goobers. The unique fondness Americans have for peanut butter accounts for a lot of the i peanuts we eat. In addition, our growers and processors are continually improving the quality, flavor, and yield of the peanut crop. .a fakm Americans buy more than 231,000 tons of g r z c > peanut butter every year! While peanut butter 2 I 3 is considered a basic food for sandwiches and \ \ spreads, creative cooks the world ’round have w 1 < ' been using it for years in a variety of ways S J § discovering that the flavorful peanut has many —_____ distinctive uses. Serve peanuts boiled or roasted as a party treat or TV snack. Peanuts are compatible with many foods. From main dish to 1 desserts peanuts will perk up your meals. Peanuts and peanut products are an excellent source of protein with a high fat content or energy value. Peanut butter is a low cost meat substitute that is perfect for pleasing the children. Peanuts that are stored in vacuum-packed containers will keep indefinately at room temperature.

Urgent Need For Long-term Rehabilitation Program In The African Sahel The Congressional Black Caucus, concerned about the crippling effects of prolonged drought and famine in the West African Sahel, calls for a strong commitment by the U.S. Government to cooperate with international planning efforts to rehabilitate the area as rapidly as possible. The six countries principally affected-Mauritania, Senegal, Niger, Upper Volta, Mali and Chad-have just concluded a summit meeting in Ouagadougou, capital of Upper Volta, to discuss long-term rehabilitation of the semi-desert zone. It is now vital that the United States continue to provide the leadership it has shown in the provision of relief food by leading the movement, in cooperation with the African countries, towards effective international coordination and planning on a regional basis in the Sahel. A long-term program of perhaps $1 billion over the next ten years will be required. It is imperative that aid donors assist the countries concerned in implementing their own priorities. FURTHER RELIEF GRAIN SHIPMENTS It is urgent that the U.S. Government make commitments for grain deliveries after October when the harvest is expected. Due to the prolonged continuation of the drought and the late arrival, uneven distribution, and periodic interruption of the rains, substantial food shortages are likely in the year to come, at least in certain areas. We urge the U.S. Government to take every precaution against food shortages and to commit grain and protein supplements with a margin of safety adequate to cover the inevitable underestimates which inadequate communications always produce. The Caucus is not convinced that the preservation of human life and culture in the Sahel is of sufficient importance to the officials of the U.S. Government. In particular, we note with alarm that Portugal whose colonial policies in Africa are officially disapproved by the U.S. has been receiving S3O million worth of feed grain with which to build up a commercial dairy industry, in direct competition with the human needs of the Sahel. The Caucus opposes the TO DECLARE: "STERILIZATION ON THE iBSIiS RETARDED HAD ITS BO® 9 PRECEDENT IN NAZI HfMii ' GERMANY THIS WOLE KHJI THING IS A HORRENDOUS I f ATTACK ON PRIVACY, C INNOCENCE AND THE ffliO | dULLAN BOND ONE WAY TO REDUCE THE “BLACK PRESENCE” diversion of food away from Africa to feed the animals of a colonial regime responsible for brutal repression in Africa. We demand that human life take priority. CONGRESSIONAL ACTION The House version of the Foreign Aid Bill contains a provision for S3O million in backing for reconstruction in the Sahel, which was introduced by Congressman Charles C. Diggs, Jr. The Senate Bill contains a weaker clause, without any specific commitment, and we consider it essential that the conferees agree to retain the House version. We appeal for letters to be sent immediately to Congressman Morgan, Zabiocki, Fascelj, Mailliard and Frelinghuysen, and to Senators Fulbright, Case, Church, Aiken and Humphrey, urging them to retain the House provision for the Sahel. In addition, we call on the responsible officials of the U.S. Government to give top priority to work out a long-term development program with (1) the six countries concerned and their permanent Interstate Committee; (2) the United Nations and its agencies involved in regional programming; and (3) other donor countries. We deplore the duplication and uneven concentration with resources in certain sectors and areas which ultimately unbalance the whole economy and environment of the region. We call for an inegrated, carefully coordinated African Sahel Development Program. We also support the appeal of the six Sahel countries for the rescheduling of their debt burden as an essential first step towards the recovery of their economies. We endorse then request for the financing of the dam projects designed for the conversation and efficient use of their water resources -projects which for years have been largely ignored by the donor community. IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. AFRICA POLICY Due largely to the emerging interest in Africa among many communities in the U.S., the United States has become the major supplier of relief food to the Sahel. This relief effort should be supported by a generous appropriation to a development program and a genuine commitment to cooperation on a regional basis. The disaster in he Sahel has brought home to us the ineffectiveness of U.S. aid to Africa. U.S. aid tends to be concentrated on the relatively prosperous States, where U.S. strategic interests lie; this is an untenable basis for an aid policy, which should be seen as an impartial expression of concern for and solidarity with the poorest areas. In the long run, last-minute relief efforts are a huge and wasteful drain on U.S. aid resources. The airlift in Mali may have cost as much as construction of an adequate road system, which has been repeatedly requested by the countries concerned; this would have ensured distribution of food in the years ahead. This painful lesson should lead U.S. aid officials to seek a new policy of anticipating food shortages, BLACK GROUP HAS WEST END SITE $7 Million, 300 Room Luxury Hotel With Revolving Restaurant Planned Empire Investment Enterprises, Inc. has annouced plans to build a 300 room luxury motor hotel in Atlanta, which will feature a revolving restaurant at the top. The new facility is to be at the intersection of Interstate 20 and Ashby Street on a three-acre site in the West End area. Empire is a Black-owned company that started in 1957 with only seventeen stockholders. Today, it is one of the most outstanding minority firms in the country with over 300 stockholders. This hotel facility projected to be the largest and finest luxury hotel owned and operated by Blacks in the country. Located just three blocks from the Atlanta University Center complex, two blocks from a proposed rapid trasit station, two minutes away from Underground Atlanta, the Omni, the Civic Center and the central downtown area, the hotel will be ideally suited and covenient to all, particularly those seeking a combination of unprecedented luxury, easy acess and very convenient location, free parking and a lack of traffic congestion. The hotel will have three restaurants and three cocktail lounges featuring both continental and soul food cuisine and top notch entertainers in the 300 seat entertainment center. It will also include a large ballroom overlooking the swimming pool, several meeting rooms of all sizes, several retail shops, a sauna bath. Some rooms will contain king size beds, wet bars, and refrigerators. The design of the fifteen story structure wili be unique and dramatic in that the rooms of the tower will recede back creating a pyramidal form terminating at a rooftop lounge. Exterior materials will be poured concrete and bronze tinted glass. The facility will feature generous and well finished public facilities designed around a pool and courtyard creating exciting and stimulating spaces. When completed, the hotel is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $7 million dollars and employ nearly 250 people with a payroll o$ 1,055,000 annually. Special efforts will be made to employ the unemployed, underemployed, and minority and planning ahead, in cooperation with international agencies, to provide the tools with which the countries themselves can plan their own development without major disasters like the seven-year Sahelian drought. Development is, in the end, cheaper than emergency relief. Should the U.S. revise its aid policy for Africa on the basis of maximum development potential, it could, as a disinterested participant in the struggle for economic self-determination in Africa, avoid the malign neglect of current short-sighted foreign aid policies. group persons. Developer will utilize the services of many Black contractors in the overall development of the project. The feasibility study for the hotel was conducted by the well known firm of Laventhal, Krekstein, Howath & Howath and the architectual drawings are being done by Mastin Associates and James Gray and Associates.
