County Building May Qualify
For Federal Grant Or Loan
With the Economic Devel
opment Administration re
ceiving over two billion in
federal funds under the
recently-passed authoriza
tion for the Public Works bill,
there is a distinct possibility
that funds may be available
to defray 100 percent of the
cost of a Butts County
multi-purpose building.
A spokesman for the Butts
County Commission revealed
that the Mclntosh Trail Area
Planning and Development
Commission is already work
ing on plans and an
application for federal funds
to finance the project.
With a 9.5 percent unem
ployment rate, highest in the
Mclntosh Trail APDC area,
Butts County should be in a
prime position as either a
grant or loan applicant.

REMEDIES

Here are some old cures for sick headaches: Mix the
juice of a lime or small lemon in a half glass of water, with
a little baking soda. Drink it while it foams, on getting up in
the morning.
Take a spoonful of finely powdered charcoal in a small
glass of warm water. Charcoal absorbs the gases produced
by the fermentation of undigested food.
Take a shovelful of clean wood ashes ... (a shovelful?),
put them into clean cold water. (Oh.) When it has settled,
drink the water. It may cause vomiting. (A shovelful would.)
If it does, the headache will be relieved sooner. (I should
hope so, after all that.)

Tips on Storing Vegetables
And Fruits Through Winter
If you’re not into home
canning or freezing, you still
may be able to keep fresh
fruits and vegetables for use
later, even as late as early
spring. That is, if the winter
temperatures in your area
average 30 degrees or lower.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has a booklet
that explains how to adapt
your basement, cellar, out
buildings or garden so that
you can do some storing
without refrigeration. For a
copy of Storing Vegetables
and Fruits send 40 cents to
the Consumer Information
Center. Dept. 37, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
A well ventilated basement
under a house with central
heating can be used for
ripening tomatoes and for
short-term storage of pota
toes. sweet potatoes and
onions. But, to store vege
tables and fruits over the
winter in a basement that has
a furnace, you’ll need to
partition off a room and
insulate it.
Cellars under houses with
out central heat have long
been used successfully for
winter storage of fruits and
vegetables in colder parts of
the country. These cellars
usually have an outside
entrance and a dirt floor.
Apples, pears, grapes, and
other fruits stored in these
cellars absorb odors from
potatoes and certain other
vegetables. So, it’s not
recommended to store fruits
and vegetables together.
The length of time that
apples can be stored depends
on variety, maturity, and
soundness at harvest, and
storage temperature. For
long-term storage, the tem
perature should be as close to
32 degrees F. as possible.
Varieties that mature in
September, like Grimes
Golden and Jonathan cannot
be kept long. Golden Deli
cious. Delicious, and Stay
man will become overripe in
3 to 4 weeks if temperatures
are not below 50 degrees F.
Late maturing varieties such
as Yellow Newton, Winesap,
and York Imperial are best
for storage in the home.
Apples keep best in cellars
that can be cooled by frosty
night air in fall and can be
maintained at a low tempera
ture (about 31 degrees F.)
until early spring.
But they must be protected
from freezing and shriveling.
Perforated polyethylene
bags and liners can help
prevent shriveling of all
varieties of apples especially
Grimes Golden and Golden
Delicious. Don’t seal or tie
the bags or liners; and make
sure there are a dozen or so
holes in them to permit
ventilation and to maintain a
desirable humidity.
Storing Vegetables and
Fruits (40 cents) is one of
over 250 selected Federal
consumer publications listed
in the Fall edition of the
catalog. Consumer Informa
tion. Published quarterly by
the Consumer Information
Center of the General
Services Administration, the
catalog is available free from
the Consumer Information
Center, Pueblo, Colorado
81009.
The booklet also includes a
table which lists many fruits
and vegetables and gives
specific instructions on the
best methods for storing
them.

PANNING FOR GOLD in Dahlonega is a favorite pastime for
children and adults. Here, a long-time miner at Gold Hills
instructs a group of young people. (PRN)
TOUR
GEORGIA
DAHLONEGA, Ga. - City
dwellers probably think very
little about mules, if they
think of them at all. Not so
the mountain folk of north
Georgia. They know the
important part mules played
in the Gold Rush of 1828,
and, each year, they pay
long-overdue tribute to the
lowly animal who made it
possible.
This year’s Mule Day
celebration, Saturday, August
14, 1976, promises a mule
pulling contest, mule race,
mule barrel race and a beastly
beauty contest. Festivities
begin at Gold Hills of
Dahlonega at 10 a.m. and
continue throughout the day
until the park closes at 6 p.m.
Regardless of your opinion
of the beasts, it’s worth a
stop at Gold Hills just to see
how one conducts a mule
pulling contest. A load,
usually several 100-pound
sand bags loaded onto a sled,
is harnessed to the mule. The
first one to pull the heaviest
load some 26 feet in a
designated time, wins that
part of the contest. The
winning mule then take on
the next one until the process
of elimination establishes a
first class finisher.
Beastly beauty contests are
difficult for anyone but
qualified judges who
recognize a well-porportioned
body, curved legs, a
non-sagging back, small waists
and shoulders, narrow hips
and shinning, well-groomed
hair. Prizes are given for the
Most Beautiful Mule, the
Ugliest Mule, and the
Orneriest Mule.
To add to the excitement,
people-participating contests
such as hog calling and other
old-fashioned competitions
are planned. Trophies will be
awarded in all contests.
The mule, known for his
stamina, is a cross between
the donkey and the horse. He

has long, pointed ears and
feet that are sure-footed on
the rough mountain terrain.
These qualities enabled the
hard-working mule to provide
the power for building roads
into Georgia’s rich gold
country. He pulled heavy
mining equipment over steep
mountainsides before there
were roads, and supplied the
power to operate the stamp
mills at the once-flourishing
U.S. Mint. The mule plowed
the fields which produced
food for the miners, ran the
corn and syrup mills and even
drew the carriages conveying
pioneer families to Sunday
services.
Saturday, August 14,
1976, is a good time for city
slickers and travelers alike to
stop by Dahlonega and toast
the mule.
The Gold Museum on
Dahlonega’s town square
includes fascinating exhibits
which retell the story of the
nation’s first major gold rush.
At Gold Hills, on Ga. 60,1/2
mile east of Dahlonega, one
may still pan for gold, and it’s
finders keepers there. Crisson
Gold Mines, Off U.S. 19N on
Wimpy Mill Road, is the only
commercial gold mine in the
southeastern United States.
Visitors there will see a mine
being worked by the gourth
generation of the same family
and they may also be
tempted to try their luck.
A few miles to the
southwest along Ga. 9E, the
ghost town of Auraria lies
along a ridge between the
Etowah and Chestatee Rivers,
a silent reminder of the rough
and tumble days before the
great western rush.
