Local Civitan
Club May Be
Formed Here
The Georgia District North
of Civitan International, a
community service, civic
organization much like
Lions, Kiwanis, and Ex
change Club, held an
organization meeting at the
Holiday Inn of Locust Grove
on Wednesday, September 7,
at 12:30 P.M.
All men in Butts County
who are civic-minded and
wish to investigate the
possibility of chartering a
Civitan Club here were
invited to attend. The
meeting began with a dutch
lunch followed by a presenta
tion from Dick Lang, Delta
airline pilot and former
Governor of this Civitan
district; Alex Purdie, new
club chairman, and Rev. Ed
Hoard, district chaplain.
Civitan was founded in 1917
in Birmingham, Alabama
and has spread throughout
the United States and into 10
foreign countries. The word
“Civitan” comes from the
Latin word “civitas” mean
ing citizenship. Civitan is a
community service organiza
tion which promotes fund
raising for charitible organi
zations and seeks to promote
citizenship through youth
clubs in high school and
college, youth leadership
seminars for all high school
students, through the spon
sorship of scouting troops,
through the giving of
hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually to retarded
citizens and other worthwhile
causes.
Civitan is a fun and
fellowship organization but
its main purpose is to be a
service to the community
which it serves. The motto of
Civitan is “BUILDERS OF
GOOD CITIZENSHIP”.

Unemployment
Benefits Have
Been Extended
State Labor Commissioner
Sam Caldwell announced
today that the nationwide
Unemployment Insurance
Extended Benefits Program
would again be effective in
Georgia beginning August 28,
1977, in accordance with
federal law requirements.
The effect of this will be to
increase the maximum num
ber of weeks for which a
person can qualify for
unemployment insurance
benefits in Georgia from 26
weeks to 39 weeks, according
to Caldwell.
Under provisions of the
federal Employment Secu
rity Amendments of 1970, the
nationwide Extended Bene
fits Program provides up to
an additional 13 weeks of
extended benefits to eligible
unemployment insurance
claimants who had exhaust
ed their benefits under the
regular state program and
were still unable to find
-employment.
“The national eligibility
period began for the week of
unemployment beginning
August 28, 1977,” Commis
sioner Caldwell said, “which
means that extended benefits
may be paid to eligible
claimants for weeks of
unemployment ending on or
after September 3, 1977.”

ODE OF SOLITUDE
Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields
With bread,
Whose flocks supply him with attire,
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter, fire.
Blessed who can unconcernedly find
Hours, days and years glide soft away,
In health of body, peace of mind;
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mixed; sweet recreation,
And innocence which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live unseen, unknown—
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from this world and not a stone
Tell where I lie.
—Alexander Pope
Safety Comes
First In All
Home Canning
Home canning is one of
those nice old-fashioned
things that people still do for
a variety of reasons—from
saving money to preserving
the garden’s best to perk up
winter suppers. Whatever
your reason, be sure you’re
using safe home canning
methods.
To help you, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture
has a booklet, Home Canning
of Fruits and Vegetables,
giving different canning
methods and safety tips. For
your copy, send 45 cents to
the Consumer Information
Center. Dept. 122 E, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
For fruits, tomatoes, and
pickled vegetables, use a
boiling-water-bath canner.
These acid foods can be
processed safely in boiling
water. Any big metal
container may be used as a
water-bath canner if it is
deep enough for the water to
be well over the tops of the
jars. Allow 2 to 4 inches
above the jar tops for brisk
boiling. The canner must
have a tight-fitting cover and
a wire or wooden rack.
For all other vegetables,
except tomatoes, use a
steam-pressure canner. To
process these low-acid foods
safely in a reasonable length
of time, you need a
temperature higher than that
of boiling w'ater.
Be sure to use only jars,
cans, and lids made espe
cially for home canning.
Never use ordinary jars like
mayonnaise or coffee jars.

Don’t reuse sealing lids. The
rubber ring deteriorates
easily and prevents a tight
seal. Get new rings for
one-piece lids and new metal
lids with sealing compounds
for two-piece lids.
Don’t overpack foods.
Trying to get too much food
into one jar may result in
underprocessing and spoil
age.
FOLLOW THE TIME AND
TEMPERATURE SPECI
FICATIONS FOR FOODS
AND CONTAINER SIZES
EXACTLY AS LISTED IN
INSTRUCTIONS. Adjust pro
cessing times according to
altitude.
