REFRIGERATOR CARE
Defrosting time is usually
a good time to clean the
refrigerator. Do you have a
self-defrosting model? This
doesn’t mean cleaning is not
required! To clean your
refrigerator remove any
parts that can be removed.
Wash, rinse and dry them.
Use mild soap and water.
Interior walls should be
washed with soap and water
or soda water. If soap and
water are used, follow with
soda water. Most manufact
urers recommend using one
teaspoon baking soda for
each quart of water. After
washing, rinse and dry. If
any cooling coils are expos
ed. wash them occasionally
with detergent water and do
not rinse. This makes the
coils slick so defrost water
will easily slide down them.
Always wash ice trays with
warm water; NEVER hot
water, as it will remove the
coating which keeps cubes
from sticking.
ice trays with warm water;
NEVER hot water, as it will
remove the coating which
keeps cubes from sticking.
The inside of your refrig
erator is not the only place
that needs to be cleaned. In
order for refrigerator to run
most efficiently, coils located
either on the back or
underneath the refrigerator
should be cleaned at least
every six months. These
should be cleaned with a
vacuum cleaner or dust
cloth. Refer to instructions in
your use and care booklet for
exact cleaning instructions.
HOME PESTS
Is there a mouse in your
house? With cold weather
approaching, these little
rodents are looking for a
warmer place to live.
Unfortunately, they eat or
contaminate food and
damage wood and fabrics.
The first step in controlling
mice is simply good house
keeping. Seal any holes in the
walls, floors, and foundation.
And don’t leave food where
mice can get to it. Close up
all food sitting on counters or

WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD Butts County
t iiitod /Appeal Drive Chairman Tom Webb is shown with
the scoreboard and theme for this year’s drive on the
Courthouse lawn. “Fair Share giving will enable us to
exceed the sl'>,ooo goal for 1976”, Chairman Webb said.
I'lio'o bv Richard Ballard.
Anyone 18 years of age and
over may be vaccinated.
Despite the charges that
the swine flu vaccination
may have contributed to
about 35 deaths among
elderly people in several
states. 840 people in Butts
County have received the
vaccine so far.
Swine tlu is particularly
tables.
If there are only a few
mice, use ordinary mouse
traps. Place them along
walls and near holes. Peanut
butter, cake, and cheese
make good baits.
If there is a large
infestation, poision baits may
be used. Be sure to read and
follow all directions on the
label Always keep ALL
poisons out of reach of
children. If nothing works,
call a reliable exterminator.
ACCESSORY UPDATE
The good news about fall
accessorizing is what by just
adding anew item here and
there, you can round out,
polish up and pull together
your existing wardrobe. Here
are several favorites this
season: Knitted warmers -
This snug knitted cap and
,long fringy muffler not only
are great looking but they’ll
certainly keep you cozy when
the temperature drops.
Another captivating warmer
you might consider is a big,
bulky hand-knit sweater to
team with skirts or pants.
Classic collectibles - Brass is
a big item for jewelry this
season - its subtle gleam
looks sensational against
menswear patterned fabric
and garments. Gloves add a
fabulous “rich-girl” touch
that really adds luxury to
anything you own.
STICKING DRAWERS
Save yourself money by
doing some home repairs
yourself. One problem that
can be corrected by “do-it
yourself” folks is sticking
drawers.
-Remove the drawer and look
for shiny places on the top or
bottom edges or on the sides.
-Sand down those shiny
areas. Repeat sanding if the
drawer does not slide
smoothly.
-Rub areas where the drawer
and frame touch with candle
wax, soap or paraffin. (This
is especially important if
drawers are to be filled with
heavy items.)
If the glides (guiding
devices in the frame) are

dangerous to the old and
young who have chronic
disorders of the respiratory
system. The sponsors of the
clinics, the Butts County
Health Department and the
Butts County Jaycees, have
made special appeals to
those persons with these
difficulties to get the vac
cination.

SAVANNAH MAYOR
BACKS AMENDMENT
Mayor John Rousakis of
Savannah, Chairman for the
statewide committee of
Georgia City Officials for
Amendment 2, has announc
ed that he and a number of
other mayors and city
officials are actively support
ing Amendment 2, the
proposed constitutional
amendment which would
allow a governor to run for
one additional term of
office.
"To permit a governor a
second term is just good
sense". Mayor Rousakis
said. “It takes time for city
officials to open lines of
communications with each
new administration. With an
eight-year term our efficien
cy with state government
increases, benefitting all
citizens on the local level.”
Jackson Goes
To Pike Cos.
Friday Night
Their hopes for a regional
title still alive, but glimmer
ing, Jackson High’s Red
Devils go to Zebulon Friday
night for a game with Pike
County that could solidify
their claim to regional fame.
Manchester’s surprise vic
tory over Mary Persons
threw the regional competi
tion into a scramble and still
left the Red Devils with a
mathematical chance, if they
can defeat Pike County and
Mary Persons and if some of
the other regional games
turn in their favor.
For the year to date,
Avondale has earned $2.60
per share of common stock,
as compared to $2.02 for the
same period last year.

the good news of the birth of
Christ,, given by a member.
Each woman had been
requested to bring their most
treasured Bible, show it and
tell why it was their favorite.
Some of the Bible’s pages
were yellowed by age and
frayed on the bindings, gifts

Benjie Leads
Peanut Brigade
To Wisconsin
Benjie Parrish, son of Mr.
and Mrs. B. F. Parrish of
Jackson, recently returned
from a ten day campaign
swing through Wisconsin as a
member of the Famous
“Peanut Brigade.”
The group of Georgians for
Jimmy Carter left Atlanta by
plane on Friday, October 16,
and returned home on
Sunday, October 24.
The typical daily schedule
had the campaigners up by 5
a.m. with visits to plant
gates, followed by door-to
door campaigning, and inter
views on radio, television,
and newspapers.
In all, the group visited
over 50 cities in Wisconsin,
telling people all over the
state about Jimmy Carter.
The name “Peanut Bri
gade” originated during the
primaries, when groups of
Georgians traveled to other
states, at their own expense,
to tell the voters about their
former governor.
Benjie was sponsored by
the Butts County Democratic
Executive Committee, who
paid for all accommodations
and meals.
“It was a great experience.
I learned a lot about politics
at the national level and
about the people of Wiscon
sin,” said Benjie.
