The announce ment was made today by Ann Sims, President of the Magnolia Garden Club. Established in early 1976, The American Land Trust seeks to preserve S2OO million worth of significant natural la'nds, at least one prime area in each of the 50 states during its two-year cam paign. Donations of land and funds to preserve qualifying lands are being sought from concerned private indivi duals, clubs, and corpora tions. Nathaniel P. Reed, Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, is the Trust’s Honorary Chairman. To carry out its program, the Trust has enlisted the assistance of The Nature Conservancy and the Nation al Council of State Garden Clubs, of which the Magnolia Garden Club is a member. The Nature Conservancy, a leading national non-profit conservation organization, was selected to acquire and manage natural areas identi fied for preservation. The Conservancy headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, has saved over a million acres of outstanding lands since its inception in 1951. National Council of State Garden Clubs, the largest gardening organization in the world with 400,000 members and over 13,000 clubs, has pledged its support to The Amerian Land Trust by informing the public of the campaign and by fund raising for preservation projects. The special joint program is called a “Part nership in Land Conserva tion” and is the most extensive volunteer project ever undertaken by National Council. Since its founding, The American Land Trust has been involved in preserva tion projects from Maine to Washington. Twelve ecologi cally outstanding areas have been donated thus far, and thirty-two separate fund raising efforts are underway across the country. Donors of $lO or more to the Trust become Honorary Trustees and receive an individual certificate. They also receive a free one-year membership in the Nature Conservancy, plus The Na- ANNUAL STATEMENT FARMERS MUTUAL COOPERATIVE FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY December 31, 1976 TOTAL ASSETS: (Actual Cash Market Value) $107,618.85 LIABILITIES: Cash Capital Paid Up 9,122.05 Surplus Over All Liabilities 98,496.80 Total Liabilities 9,122.05 INCOME 12 MONTHS 4,950.92 DISBURSEMENTS 12 MONTHS 4,312.07 Prepared by BENNETT TAX SERVICE Indian Springs, Ga. 30231 J.

IN MEMORY In sad but loving memory of my husband, James William Copeland, who passed away March 12th, 1976. One year I’ve trod this road alone Sweet memories of you and our life together still linger on. How much I’ve missed you God only knows For death is a heartache nothing can heal. Memories are some things no one can steal. I hear your voice and feel you near And know you watch over me and hold me dear. God took you when He knew you could stand no more And Heaven must be brighter since you passed through His door. So I’ll trudge on here know ing some day we will be together again, never more to part. Lovingly remembered but sadly missed by wife, Mrs. Grace Copeland TIFT COLLEGE CHOIR ON TOUR Forty members of the Tift College Choir, directed by associate professor of voice R.

Patricia’s Panderings By Patricia Smith, Butts County >' Home Economist iXswIgHHHR PATRICIA S PONDERINGS HOUSEPLANTPROGRAM Don’t forget that on Tuesday, March 15, Doug Crater, Extension Horti culturist, will present a program on houseplants at the Central Ga. EMC Auditorium at 7:00 ,p.m. If you have a houseplant in need of some first-aid, please feel free to bring it to the meeting and the specialist will diagnose the problem. There is no charge for the program and everyone is invited to attend. CANNED FOOD PROBLEMS The Extension office has received several calls con cerning canned foods which have frozen during the recent freezing weather . The drop in temperature has caused some foods stored in unheat ed areas to freeze. A danger occurs when a food expands in the container because the expansion puts stress on the container and the container may break or leak. If this happens, bacteria can seep in and make the food unsafe to eat. If you discover any of the following signs in either purchased or home canned foods the foods are not safe to eat: -leakage from seams, -bulging ends on cans or jars, -cracks in jars, -broken seals on home canned food, •spurting liquid, mold or off odor when opened.

If attachments came with your vacuum cleaner why not dig them out of the back of that closet and put them to use! The DUSTING BRUSH can be used to remove dust on louvered doors, furniture, wall hangings and acces sories. The UPHOLSTERY NOZZLE is good for cleaning furniture and draperies. The CREVICE TOOL is great for cleaning corners and other hard-to-get-to places. The vacuum can also be used to clean filters on appliances. A vacuum cleaner must be in good working order if it is to help make your cleaning easier. Change the dust bag when necessary-when the bag is full you can’t expect the cleaner to do a good job. If you keep your attachments handy and use your vacuum cleaner wisely it can be a big help in Spring cleaning. | When you don’t C<f/ save for higher education... ... you can lose your shirt | paying collegecosts.
