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. Peach Theatre FORT VALLEY. GA.

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. From Butler, FHA members Ellen Eubanks, Dianne Kirksey, Marita Barrow, Elaine Albrit ton and Miriam Tucker were accompanied by Mrs. Margery Fitzsimmons, advisor.

Cooper Home Demonstration Agent 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. TIPS FROM EXTENSION DEPT. by Vernon R. Reddish County Agent 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.

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.

In fact one entire para graph -was left out of the Le banon Baptist deacon story. Rev. Clarence Drummond and Mrs. Drummond were the pas tor and wife coming into the church. Rev. and Mrs. Bobby Wood are leaving for seminary work in Texas. Also in the cutline under the picture - on the back row were Dudley Harris and Travis Al britton. Again we say, we’ll do better we hope. Current prospects for Geor gia’s corn crop are 57 million bushels, 13 percent below last year’s crop, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. SAT.
