vice outlook for July is the
same sad story: “Hot, dry
weather to continue.”
Georgia will have above
normal temperatures and
below normal rainfall.
And even those normal
temperatures are high
enough; they are usually in
the 90s in the afternoon and
near 70 at night.
Georgia rainfall in July
usually totals between four
and one-half and six inches.
Over seven inches usually falls
along the coast and in ex
treme South Georgia. But
there won’t be that much in
July this year, according to

The average person has
probably suffered from
bleeding of the nose at some
time in his lifetime. A
nosebleed is not an unusual
occurrence when it is caused
by a blow upon the nose. A
nosebleed of this type is
usually very minor in nature
although it may appear that
a large amount of blood is
lost.
The proper first aid
treatment requires that the
person sit erect and that cold
compresses be applied to the
nose. This can be accom
plished by application of a
cloth which has been dipped
in cold water, or by wrapping
cubes of ice in the cloth and
applying to the nose. This
will very likely stop the
nosebleed. However, if bleed
ing persists, a physician
should be consulted.
A doctor should also be
consulted when there are
small discharges of blood
from the nose for no
apparent reason. This could
be caused by a condition of a
serious nature, such as
cancer or high blood pres

major crops this time of year

adequate moisture is very

In addition, poultry and

supplements her usual eve
ning prayer with many
requests for special favors
from the Lord. However, one
night -as a sweet after
thought - she closed with the
words, “And now, God, what
can I do for you?”
No doubt the Lord was
pleased with this petition.
True, He is not helplessly
standing by, hoping people
will come to His aid, for He is
the Almighty God, the
Creator and Sustainer of the
universe. Indeed, the “cattle
upon a thousand hills” are
His, and He is entirely
self-sufficient. However, in
His infinite wisdom and good
pleasure He has chosen to
carry out His program upon
earth through people like you

as we are. Therefore, He
loves to see us warmly and
willingly offer Him our
hearts and hands.
When Paul met the risen
Christ, the question he asked
was basically the same as
that voiced by the little girl.
He exclaimed, “Lord, what
wilt thou have me to do?”
From the day of his
conversion he never forgot
that he had been saved to
serve, for he calls himself
“Paul, a servant of Jesus
Christ ...” (Rom. 1:1).
God wants us to rejoice in
the riches of our salvation,
and He also invites us to
come to Him with our
requests. However, He is
especially delighted when
one of His children looks
upward and says, “And now,
God, what can I do for you?”

Cookery

This dessert is cool, quick
to fix, and low in calories.
Just slice a ripe cantaloupe;
fill the slices with strawber
ries with their juice; and top
it off with a small scoop of
vanilla ice cream.
I have found an easy way to
prepare fried chicken. First,
boil the chicken pieces in
water with onion slices and
crushed garlic. Boil about 45
minutes, until the chicken is
almost done. Just refrigerate
until time to serve the
chicken. Then salt, pepper
and flour the chicken, and fry
in a small amount of oil until
it is brown and crusty. This
takes just a few minutes.
This way the chicken can be
prepared ahead of time, but
it will be hot when served.

CANNING AND FREEZING T!MF
"Putting Up” Produce
Means Summer Savings
ATHENS—PIenty of fresh
summer vegetables are avail
able despite the dry weather
that has bothered Georgia
farmers and gardeners.
And now is the time to
take advantage of seasonal
savings in fresh fruits and
vegetables, according to
Cathy Sigman, food preserva
tion expert with the Georgia
Extension Service.
While prices may be slight
ly higher for produce in short
supply because of the
drought, Mrs. Sigman warns
that fresh vegetables in season
are still the best buy.
“Canning and freezing
food at home will be at an
all-time high this year because
of the increase in home gar
dens and budget-conscious
homemakers,” said the food
expert.
“Buying fresh produce
directly from the grower or
produce market, or growing
and picking it yourself
straight from the garden, can
be economical—and satis
fying—for the whole family.
“But make sure the pro
duce is fresh and picked at
the optimum time for the
best taste, texture and
appearance in home canned
and frozen foods,” said Mrs.
Sigman.
Proper preservation tech
nique and equipment are the
real secret to canning and
freezing, said the home econ
omist.
Mrs. Sigman made the
following recommendations
for families interested in
“putting up” a supply of
summer produce.
—Check produce before
you buy. Look for good color
and firm fruits and vegetables
that are not over ripe. Stay
away from produce that feels
soft, has lots of bruises and
cuts or appears wilted.
—Check with different
growers or markets for price
per bushel or per pound.

Where The Focus Is On You Memberf.dj.c.
—Buy large quantities of
only the vegetables you know
your family will eat. Some
vegetables have slightly dif
ferent taste or texture after
freezing or canning. Ex
periment with small quan
tities before you buy a bushel
basket full.
—Plan your canning and
freezing schedule based upon
the peak harvest times in
your area for different vege
tables. Squash and potatoes
are available earlier than com
or tomatoes.
—Make sure you have the
right equipment. All vege
tables except tomatoes re
quire pressure canning. Most
all vegetables must be boiled
in water (blanched) for a
short time before freezing.
Special heat resistant canning
jars, good lids and rings, and
moisture -and-vapor-resistant
freezer containers are a neces
sity.
—Buy supplies ahead of
time. While all canning and
freezing supplies are available
now in sufficient quantities,
some stores may run out dur
ing the peak canning and
freezing season.
—Consider storage capac
ity. Frozen foods are more
costly to store, but usually
require less equipment to
prepare Don’t overload the
freezer with new items to
freeze; cool containers before
they go in the freezer.
—Store canned foods in a
dry, dark, cool place. Check
the seals on cans before stor
ing. Discard any cans which
lose their seal during storage
or foods that have an off
odor when opened.
—Your local county Ex
tension agent has printed
information on recommended
procedures for canning and
freezing. Call or stop by her
office if you need help. Also,
many Extension home econ
omists are offering classes in
food preservation this
summer.
