Do You Think Congress Should Got the Proposed Pay Raises?
FRANCES WHITE JINKS
I think raises are always
good when merited, but I
think it’s the wrong time.
CARD OF THANKS
I have often said that I was
so unlucky, if I were in
Macy’s Dept. Store and the
lights went out, I’d be in the
piano department. What I
had reference to was the fact
that I spent that beautiful
week of sunshine and calm
weather in the hospital.
However, it was so nice to
know you have so many kind
and considerate friends.
Those who came to visit with
me, those who sent cards and
flowers, the phone calls and
so forth, including my real
good friends from Griffin and
a Big, Big thanks to Frank
and the gang. Once again I
say, it helped a great deal to
ease the pain. Thanks again.

War is a truly terrible
tragedy that has plagued
man throughout the ages, but
war has brought great
advances in medicine and
has in this unusual way aided
the human race.
This started rather simply
in Biblical times when Moses
commanded personal hy
giene among his men. It has
continued through the cen
turies with advances against
such diseases as Typhoid
Fever and Malaria. The
terrible wounds of war have
brought forth many special
ized advances in the field of
surgery and plastic surgery
in particular.
In the 20th Century,
military medicine has made
tremendous strides, especial
ly in the use of whole blood
and blood plasma and also to
the large scale production of
many of the modern wonder
drugs such as penicillin.
The wonders of modern
advancements in medicine
rank high in the list of the

Beef Production Potential Is
Great in Georgia, Miller Says
Lieutenant Governor Zell
Miller said Wednesday that
one of the greatest potentials
for expanding agribusiness
in the South lies in beef
production.
In his welcoming address
to the 80th Annual Conven
tion of the American Na
tional Cattlemen’s Associa
tion at the World Congress
Center in Atlanta, Miller
pointed out that cattle
production is already an
important part of
Georgia’s economy.
“The cattle business ex
tends into every one of our
159 counties, and sales
account for $l2O million
annually in our State’s
economy,” Miller said.
Pointing out that the world
population will increase by
three billion people in the
next 25 years, Miller said,
“American farmers are
certain to remain in a
position of strength for the
foreseeable future.”
“No region stands to
benefit more from the
prosperity of farmers than
the American South. The
Mideast leads the nation with
373 million acres of
farmland. But the South is
very close with 333 million
acres. Even more signifi
cant, the largest block of
suitable but presently
uncultivated land in the
world is in the American
South - more than a hundred
million acres,” he went on to
say.
In welcoming the approxi
mately 4500 Association
members to Georgia, Miller
noted that Georgia has a
population of 5 million people
and has over two million
head of cattle.
“We in Georgia appreciate
the vital part that cattlemen
play in our largest industry -
agribusiness,” he said.
This is the first time that
the American National Cat
tlemen’s Association has
held their annual convention
in Georgia and this is the
second major convention
held in the new World
Congress Center.

Tips On How
To Control
House Pests
Did you ever get up for a
midnight snack, turn on the
kitchen light and discover the
cockroaches have the same
idea? Your appetite probably
won’t come back until you
get rid of the pests.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture tells you how in a
new revision of the booklet,
Controlling Household Pests.
Insects aren’t the only pests
talked about-you’ll also find
out how to get rid of bats, rats
and mice. For your copy of
the booklet, send 45 cents to
the Consumer Information
Center, Dept. 75E, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
Cockroaches not only look
dirty, they are dirty and
destructive. They contami
.nate food, and they eat starch
and glue, so they may
damage fabrics, garments,
curtains, books, papers and
many other materials.
Once you have them, you’ll
need to use insecticides to get
rid of cockroaches. But be
sure to read the label and
follow instructions carefully.
Those to use include dia
zinon, malathion, propoxur,
or ronnel. You can use a
household surface spray or a
dust. For a severe problem,
use both. Apply the spray
first, then apply the dust
after the spray has dried,
forcing the dust into the
cracks and openings difficult
to reach with spray. You can

also apply insecticide in
liquid, cream or paste form
with a paintbrush. This will
let you place the material
more accurately than with
spraying or dusting. It’s
particularly good for spot
treatments.
And then there are mice.
They usually come in your
house when the weather
outside gets too cold for
them. And they’re a real
problem-they contaminate
numan lood, injure fabrics,
wood, and other materials,
and transmit several human
diseases.
The first steps in control
ling mice are to seal any
holes in the walls, floors, and
foundation of the house, and
to see that food isn’t left in
places where mice can get to
it. If you've only got a few
mice in your home, you can
usutfily get rid of them with
ordinary snap traps. Place
them along walls and near
holes. Put them at a right
angle to the walls so the
trigger mechanism will be in
the mouse’s probable path.
One of the best baits to use
in snap traps is peanut butter
smeared over the trigger
surface. Other good baits are
cake, flour, bacon, nut
meats, cheese, and soft
candies, particularly milk
chocolate or gumdrops.

PANIC PANTRY
Have you ever been in a
situation where friends or
relatives dropped by just
before mealtime and you
did’t have time to plan a
special menu? A “panic
pantry” could help you out of
a situation like this. To
assemble a panic pantry
start by first selecting some
recipes that are fast and
easy, and can also be used to
create a complete meal
quickly. As you review
recipes, look for some that
require little pre-cooking,
chopping or other time
consuming preparations.
Look for recipes where you
take advantage of con
venience foods by making
substitutions. An example
would be to use a can of
cream soup (cream of
mushroom soup is excellent)
in place of white sauce. Also
look for recipes that use
foods that can be stored for
lengthy periods without spoil
age.
After you have selected
some recipes plan complete
menus and then make a
shopping list of needs for
your "panic pantry”. Buy’ the
food items and store as many
of them together as possible
and store in a special place in
your pantry or cabinet. It
might also be a good idea to
tape planned menus in the

NARROW BELTS
POPULAR
Waistline and belts are
once again fashionable in
women’s wear. Narrow belts,
1 1 4 to I‘ 2 inches wide, are
predicted to be the most
popular styles for 1977.
Leather belts are a leading
seller, while elastic and
fabric belt sales are expected
to rise in the spring. Buckles
are following the current
clothing trend-simple,
dressy, nothing ornate.

To all those wonderful
friends and relatives who
remembered me with
flowers, cards, visits, and
other kind deeds while I was
confined in the hospital, I
wish to express my sincere
appreciation. Your many
expressions of concern
during my convalescence at
■home have also been a source
of. comfort. Thank ,you for
remembering me in so many
nice ways. -J. W. (Bird)
