Kiwanis Club Prepares Food for 'Byrd Celebration
FFA-FHAers Return From Camp
By Johnny Davis
The Future Farmers and Fu
ture Homemakers of America
had an enjoyable week at the
State FFA - FHA Camp Aug.
6 - 10.
Monday afternoon after re
gistration and moving into as
signed cottages, was devoted
to recreation.
The official program began
with Vespers, Monday evening
in the ampitheater.
Ira Dickerson, camp di
rector, led the program with
a devotional on "How to Achi
eve Our Goals". He concluded
his talk with the following point:
"Fourth and most important is
to rely on a power greater
than yourself. Have you ever
watched giant dynamos as they
bring power out of the universe
that will run factories, pull
busses and light cities?
In the competitive sports e-
vents the teams representing
the Butler, Reynolds, and Ca
milla FHA Chapters won the
championship in the swimming
meet, shuffleboard and horse
shoes and placed second in
over all standing.
Butler, Fitzgerald, Hahira
and Ben Hill FFA chapters
played together in the team
events as a team and placed
fifth in over-all standing.

Improvements are continual
ly being made in the camp
facilities. During the past year
part of the grounds were land
scaped; concrete benches were
constructed for the ampit-
heater; heating equipment was
installed in an additional cot
tage so the camp can now ac
commodate 175 people during
cold weather.
The Colonial Room, the small
dining room, was enlarged to
provide for a group of this size;
large dining hall was rewired;
$4000 worth of new cooking e-
quipment was provided for the
main dining hall; larger water
mains were installed on the
boy’s side of the camp to pro
vide adequate pressure in all
cottages during rush periods.
Considerable improvement
was made in the swimming lake
including spreading 400 tons of
sand on the lake bottom, put
ting additional sand on the beach
and sodding additonal area a-
round the lake; new furniture
was provided for the lounge in
Mobley Hall, the main building.
$2000 was spent on improv
ing the electrical distribution
system of the camp and $2600
was spent on printing brovhes
on the camp for distribution to
FFA and FHA chapters.
During the past year othei
than the regular summer camp
ing program the camp was used
part of almost every week by
a group of some type - re
ligious, civic, educational, pro
fessional, etc.
Last year profit from these
groups paid for operation of the
camp and profit from the sum
mer camping program was used
for permanent improvements.
The charge per camper for a
week is $10.50 including in
surance coverage to and from
and while at camp.
Highlights of the week to me
included the pleasant associa
tion we had with others, the ves
pers and especially the music
that played each evening for
about 15 minutes before the
program began, working in the
craft shop where many beau
tiful articles may be made at
very little expense, parts of the
talent shows which included
much more beautiful singing
than usual and swimming.

Cinnamon and dinner rolls
wrapped in cellophane soon
after baking, prevent moisture
loss when frozen and stored
at 0 degrees. After defrost
ing they loose only half as much
freshness as rolls that were
stored at room temperature.
Rolls may be frozen for two
months without serious loss
of freshness.
When defrosting, keep rolls
covered to prevent loss of mois
ture. Defrosting the rolls, par
ticularly cinnamon rolls, in a
place that is somewhat warmer
than room temperature also
helps to maintain freshness.

Tenderness and juiciness of
pork roasts are not related to
the amount of fat contained.
Neither amount of fat around the
lean nor amount of marbling in
the lean showed any relation to
eating quality. All cuts except
the ham shank were equally
juicy whether or not they had
a low or high fat content. All
cuts except the picnic shoulder
were as tender with very little
marbling as with generous mar
bling. Flavor differences were
slight with most cuts having
the full roast pork flavor.
The butt end of a fresh ham
has a higher portion of lean
than the shank. Also the loin
end has more lean than the rib
end. The amount of fat covering
affects the cooking time for pork
roasts. A thin fat covering cooks
in a shorter time than the same
size with a think fat covering.

Previous articles in local and
state news papers have stated
that Taylor County led the State
in 1961 production of cotton with
a yield of 555 pounds of lint
cotton per acre, but little has
been published regarding the
yield per acre for 1961 Crop
Peanuts in Georgia. Taylor
County produced a yield of 1,580
pounds per acre of Runnerpea-
nuts of 622.5 acres and yield
of 1,232 pounds per acre on
1,121.4 acres of Spanish Type
peanuts. These figures are well
above the average compared to
only a few years ago. It is al
so above the State average for
1961 with a yield of 1,228 pounds
per acre of Runner peanuts and
a yield of Spanish peanuts of
1,156 pounds per acre.
The farmers and business
men of Taylor County are to
be commended for this accom
plishment due to several
reasons listed below:
1. Proper land selection and
preparation
2. Planting good seed and
proper spacing
3. Not throwing soil to the
peanut plants
4. Early and late control
of insects
5. Proper harvesting of the
crop
6. Liming early for the next
years crop of peanuts
the contribution made by C. A.
Rutledge Construction Company
of Barrow County. The hole is
the excavation for the new
swimming pool needed to bring
the sprawling Center’s facil
ities into balance.
Now 4-H’ers all over the state
are working to raise money to
fill up the hole with Clearwater
instead of the mud that forms
the bottom after every rain.
And, they’re doing a good job
of it too, according to Dr.
Tommy L. Walton, state 4-H
Club leader for the University
of Georgia Cooperative Exten
sion Service.
More than $10,000 of the es
timated $29,000 it will take to
complete the poole is already
in the bank in the name of
the Georgia 4-H Foundation,
which handles the contributions.
A goal of 25 cents per club
member in the state has been
set to raise the money. Taylor
County’s quota will be $97.75.
Several counties have already
reached or surpassed their
quotas.
The largest single source of
funds so far has been the soft
drink machines at the Center,
which have yielded nearly
$6,000 in profits for the pool.
The largest single contribu
tion by a county is $1, 382.81
by Cobb County 4-Il’ers. Other
donations are coming from in
dividuals and organizations
The need of the new pool
is critical, Dr. Walton said,
the present one being woefully
inadequate to handle the nearly
1.000 boys and girls who are
often at the Center for 4-H
Camps or other events.
"In additon to the fact that
swimming is the most popular
recreation for the youngsters,
we also feel that we have an
obligation to conduct a strong
water instruction and safety
program in connection with 4-H
activities,” he continued. "It’s
almost impossible to carry on
instruction under the present
crowded conditons at the Cen
ter’s one pool.”
At present swimming has to
be done in shifts, with one
group lined up waiting at the gate
while another finishes its al
lotted time.
Many other groups, in ad
dition to 4-H’ers, use the fa
cilities of the Center, its re
ports show. At the rate, some
50.000 persons are using the
Center as members of organiz
ed events each year. Since it
opened, more than 200,000
persons have used it. They
have come from every county
in Georgia, every state in the
nation, and 43 other countries,
a tabulation of registration
forms revealed.
The largest users, in ad
dition to 4-H, are agricultural
and home demonstration,
groups, church organizations
and school youth clubs.
Poultry raised in Georgia
consumed almost 2 million tons
of feed in 1961 enough feed
to fill the cars of a train
twice the length of the state.
The consumed feed had a
value of over $144 million,
report Extension poultrymen.
Of all the contributions that
have gone to build Georgia’s
Rock Eagle 4-H Club Center
into the finest such facility in
the country, what may be the
most unusual donation to date
was made recently.
A big hole in the ground was
Cheddar and blue cheese will
soon be added to the list of
available instant foods. The in
stant cheeses can be used for
such dishes as potatoes au gra-
tin, welsh rarebit, soup and
vegetable garnishes, macaroni
and cheese dinners and dips.

Family Food
Buying . . .
Q. Is it really necessary
to use so many chemicals and
foreign substances in our foods
today?
A. Many of our food pro
ducts do not reach the family
dinner table until a vear cr
more after packaging. Without
additives, much of our food
would have a shorter shelf life
and not be as safe or nutritious.
Also, the use of additives is
one of the oldest methods of
preserving foods. Examples are
the use of salt in curing meats
and sugar in preserving fruits.
Q. My neighbor insists that
only natural foods to which no
chemicals for processing or
preservation have been added
are safe. Is this true?
A. The use of additives in
food has resulted in much mis
understanding. The fact that
chemicals may be poisonous in
excessive amounts has been
used in scare-type articles.
Food faddists also have seized
upon this aspect of additives
as a way to promote so called
"nature” or "natural foods.”
The Council on Foods and Nu
trition of the American Medical
Association, however, finds
there is no reason to believe
that the present use of chem
icals in foods is endangering
the health of people.
Q. Does the government pro
tect the consumer against
harmful substances which may
result from pest control of
crops, processing, preserving
and storage of food?
A. The 1958 Food Additive
Amendment to the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
increased the protection of con
sumers against harmful use of
additives. The amendment re
quires manufacturers of food
additives to test these products
for safety and report their find
ings to the Food and Drug
Administration. There are
severe penalties for using ad
ditives without approval and for
misuse of additives. Also, the
color additive amendment cf
1960 up-dates regulations re
quiring the listing and certi
fication of colors which are
to be used in foods, drugs and
cosmetics. This act also pro
vides for testing both existing
colors and new colors for safe
ty.
Q. Last week I saw ears of
corn in the shuck displayed on
a bed of crushed ice. Why? Is
corn that perishable?
A. Yes, strange as it may
seem. That heavy natural
covering of shucks does not
prevent corn from losing flavor
if held without ice or refri
geration. At summer tempera
tures, sweet corn may lose one-
half of its sugar in 24 hours.
This loss is slower at lower
temperatures. Research find
ings showed that sweet corn
on crushed ice in retail stores
throughout the day had 43 per
cent more total sugar than sim
ilar ears on non-refrigerated
counters.
