Vo-ag Teacher Named State Champ In Men's National Cooking Contest Oswell Smith of Patterson, a vocational agriculture teacher in Patterson public schools, has been selected by a panel of lead ing women food experts as the 1962 Georgia state cooking champion in the Men’s National Cooking Championship. Mr. Smith, who has had a cul inary flair the past 20 years, won the title in competition with hundreds of other amateur male cooks throughout Georgia with his recipe for “Baked Fish and Potato Chip Dressing.” His entry, among more than 24.000 submitted by men across the nation, was chosen the best original main dish using potato chips in this state, occording to Championship executive director Harvey F. Noss. Taught 23 Years A teacher for 23 years, Mr. Smith is married to the former Miss Kathryn Dubberly of Glen ville, Ga. The couple has two children, Terry, 18, and David, 10. Mr. Smith is the son of Mrs. Walter Smith of Waynesboro, Ga. A steward of Patterson Metho dist Church and director of the Patterson Lions Club, Mr. Smith is a 1939 graduate of the Uni versity of Georgia in Athens, Ga., and was graduated in 1937 from Abraham Baldwin Junior Col lege in Tifton, Ga. Aside from cooking, his hob bies include camellia growing and fishing. Last year’s Georgia state cook ing champion was Ben C. Dickin son of 210 Shirley Drive, Warner Robins, Ga. Ardent amateur male cooks from all walks of life entered the championship this year — scien tists, doctors, tradesmen, clergy men, salesmen, teachers and busi ness executives in large citites as well as small towns. The recipes were judged by a panel of nationally known wo men food experts and editors headed by Mrs. Marni Wood, not ed cooking authority. She report ed the judges were impressed with the high caliber of entries this year and had great diffi culty selecting the state winners. Men More Inventive “Many of the recipes showed that amateur male cooks are more inventive this year than last,” according to Mr. Noss, who heads the Potato Chip Institute, sponsor of the championship. “They're putting more originality in their food creations and show ing a surprisingly greater know ledge of how simple ingredients Stock Yard News At our sale last Friday, hog prices were as follows: RI, $16.68; LI, $16.- 71; Hl, $15.55; No. 2, $15.75; No. 3, $15.30; No. 4, $16.00; No. 5, $16.95; LR, $13.90; and HR, $12.55.

Plentiful Pecans Can Add Variety To Meals, Snacks A record pecan crop is now being harvested in Georgia. This should be good news to homemakers, for pecans can give a distinctive flavor to a wide variety of foods, suggests Miss Elaine Stueber, Extension nutri tionist of the University of Geor gia College of Agriculture. The number of ways pecans can be used to give a lift to family fare is limited only by imagina tion and ingenuity. She made a few suggestions for a starter: Pecans are unexcelled for use in candy, ice cream, icings and pastries. Or, they can be used for roasting and salting. Salted nut chips can be made by slicing or breaking pecans in to small pieces on a utility tray or cookie sheet. Dot with butter and sprinkle with salt. Bake 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. For flavor variations, follow these basic directions, but add a little curry powder, celery salt or garlic salt to the table salt with which you sprinkle the nut chips. TALES OUT OF SCHOOL By Bernice McCullar State Department of Education THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION STAFF — Is it true that the Department of Edu cation has added staff members during recent years? If so, why? That’s a question asked now and then. This is the answer: when the 85th Congress in 1958 made funds available for the strength ening of science, math, and lan guage teaching, we added some staff members to handle these programs that brought us the federal money. Moreover, in this state, the Rehabilitation program is the responsibility of the De partment of Education. One of its additional duties is to decide who is eligible for certain social se curity programs. These people — who are WHOLLY paid with federal funds — were added. That accounts for most of the added staff members. If you would like to know about any special cases, all you have to do is write. The schools are operat ed with your money for your children, and the information is yours for the asking. WHO IS HARRIET GOLD? — Three Georgia historians, discus sing Georgia history on an hour long radio show the other mid night, got off on the interesting subject of Harriet Gold, who is buried near New Echota. She is one of the most interesting wo men who ever lived in Georgia. Yet one of the three historians said, “I doubt if there are one hundred people in Georgia who know who Harriet Gold is.” Do you? GIFT FOR THE BLIND AND THE DEAF — Mrs. Fannie B. Starry, of St. Petersburg, Florida, who died last year, left a house there. In her will she directed that it be sold and the proceeds divided between our Georgia A cademy for the Blind at Macon and the Georgia School for the Deaf at Cave Spring. MOUNTAINS OF MUFFINS, RIVERS OF MILK — The school lunch program in Georgia is a thirty million dollar enterprise. Our 1800 school lunch rooms will serve ninety million hot lunches during this 180 day school year. That means mountains of bread, rivers of milk, tons of beans, miles of hot dogs. It also means that the children of Georgia are healthier. The lunch they get at school at noon provides one third of their total food requirement for the day. You should have seen the pride the lunchroom mana gers took in sparkling up the lunchrooms at the Christmas sea son, and serving a half million children with a delicious, attrac tive meal. In January —by pro clamation of the governor — we will have a School Lunch Week. Be sure to let your school lunch room manager know how much you appreciate what she does. The cooks, too. DULL WORDS; BRIGHT MEANING — There probably aren’t two duller words in the language than the phrase “mid term financing.” But they are bright with meaning for your school. This is what’s in them: we check again on your enroll ment and if your school had more pupils than it figured on having, we go back and pick up the check from the date they came in and send you more mon ey for teachers, textbooks, maint enance and operation and so on and so forth. Glad tidings! SCHOOL FOR THE TANGLED OF HEART — You’ll be glad to know that there’s a school being built at Alto where the lads who have tangled with the law can learn their lessons and get their high school diploma. They have already had some vocational training there, but there’s an odd thing about that. They make school furniture — as good as you can buy anywhere, and at about half the price — but the schools won’t buy it. That’s a mystery to me. Now the school will have academic work, too. That’s a good thing. Its real suc cess depends on what kind of school man they get to go there and run it. It will take a person with heart and brain. THE GOOD TEACHER HAS A GLOW — In the faculty lounge of a small college, there is a big fireplace. Over the fireplace are these words, “Who would kindle another must himself glow.” GOLDEN YEAR FOR AN EDU CATOR — Rev. J. Gorham Gar rison. former president of the Georgia Education Association, former principal at Ochlochnee, and retired area representative for the State Department of Edu cation, has a big day coming up December 31: his golden wedding anniversary. He has served the children of Georgia well, and been a blessing to his people. He and Mrs. Garrison and their sons and daughters will greet their friends and neighbors at Ochloch nee on Sunday, the last day of the year. HOW DOES IT READ IN RUS SIA? — I keep wondering how it must look in Russian newspapers, the story that in Georgia —a state known all over the world for its warmth and kindness — five thousand little children were in our JAILS during 1961. COAST GUARD LAD WANTS GEORGIA TO KNOW — A per sonable and intelligent young Coast Guard cadet was in my of fice the other day talking with me about the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut. He is the ONLY Georgian there, and he thinks that more Georgians should know about what a wonderful program j it offers to high school boys. The 4 year certificate is excellent, and is available to boys through a competitive examination. It is NOT by Congressional appoint ment, he says. If you want to ;know what he thinks of the edu cation he is getting there, and ! which is available to your bright lads, write Cadet R. L. Hanna, Box 310, U. S. Coast Guard Aca demy, New London, Connecticut. THERE’S NEWS AT YOUR SCHOOL EVERY DAY — A few years ago, we had school clinics over the state, wherein profes sional newspaper people talked with schoolfolks about how to recognize and write school news. Both groups benefited. Now the superintendents have given the green light to a series of spring clinics on how to tell the school story by radio. These will be held in April. The Georgia Association of Broadcasters will help with these. H. Randolph Holder of Athens is president, Jack Wil liams of Atlanta is executive se cretary, and John Foster of Cor nelia is education chairman. AN IDEA FOR YOUR SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS — One of the most disgraceful things in Geor gia is how few people vote. We are crawling around down there practically on the bottom rung of the ladder in this. Why can’t the high school pupils in your social studies class spotlight the voting in YOUR community, and find out how many don’t vote and why? There’s a rumor going round that some people don’t vote because they don’t want to be embarrassed by being asked questions whose answers they don’t know. (Have you ever tak en a good look at those famous thirty questions, of which they can ask you twenty? The PTA is interested in this voting business, and I hope they will do some thing about it.) Better Quality Sweet Potatoes Come from Research Sweet potatoes, that staple dish of Georgia tables which gives a holiday flavor to any everyday meal, are better than ever, thanks to the skills of research horticul turists who breed better varie ties and food technologists who find better ways to preserve and serve them. One of the better and more re cent varieties of sweet potatoes bred in the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Stations is the Red Earlysweet developed by Dr. Silas A. Harmon, head of the horticulture development at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station at Tifton. Through selection with mutants the Red Earlysweet was develop ed from the Earlysweet, an early maturing variety which has all the desirable qualities of a sweet potato except the warm red color which most people like. The Red Earlysweet, however, has all the desirable qualities of the Early sweet, such as early maturity, the quality to bake “sweet” and “yammy” immediately after har vest, and little fiber content, plus a very eye-appealing red skin. Released in 1961, the Red Ear lysweet is now quite popular and present indications are that with in a year or two all of Georgia’s early-harvest sweet potatoes will be the Red Earlysweet. Research tests conducted by’ A. H. Dempsey, horticulturist, and Jane Wentworth, assistant home economist, at the Georgia Experi ment Station at Experiment, to study the nutritive values of sweet potatoes show that they are excellent sources of carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body. These researchers found that a medium-sized Can bake potato would provide an adult with enough Vitamin A for about four days while a Georgia Red and Unite I Porto Rico would provide an adult with e nough Vitamin A for two and a half days. SOUTHERN TREE FARMS Today, 37 million acres of tree farms — two-thirds of the na tion’s total — are located in Georgia. Alabama. Arkansas. Florida. Louisiana. Mississippi. North and South Carolina. Okla homa. Tennessee. Texas and Vir ginia. The South contains 176 million acres of commercial forest land whose size is unequaled in other regions, according to Ex tension Forestry Marketing Specialist H. O. Baxter. Want ads may look insignifi cant, but they do a BIG job o* selling. Nt 1 1 N, G Drivers Warned Os Sure-fire Way To Lose License Atlanta — Having issued orders to his patrolmen to crack down on traffic law violators through out the state, Col. H. Lowell Con ner, new director of the Georgia Department of Public Safety, said he wants motorists to clearly understand what to expect if they become offenders. The 38-year-old safety director, who instructed state troopers to “hide behind signboards, embank ments, trees or anything else if that’s what it takes to stop the slaughter on our highways,” list ed numerous ways a driver can immediately lose his driving pri vilege. These hazardous violations call for automatic suspension of a driver’s license for the following periods of time: 1.
