VOLUME 44 — NUMBER 40 Laura Sue Raulerson Returns from Trip to Light Countries in Ewrepa By Audrey Guest Beaver Mss Laura Sue Raulerson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Raulerson of Alma, has re turned from a tour of Europe, reporting a delightful visit to eight countries and many historical sights, including an cient and romantc Rome, It aly. Laura Sue, a senior at Georgia Southern at States boro, enthusiastically said of the planned tour that it “helps me to more fully appreciate history.” She is majoring in education and plans to teach in Atlanta when she embarks on her chosen career. “We saw lots of mini skirts and dresses on the tour,” Laura Sue said, referring to her enjoyment in studing the .mode of dress and languages of the various peoples. The tour included the coun tries of Great Britain, Hol land, Germany, Austria, Swit zerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, and France. She was teased about her “accent” when chatting with some German youths who quizzed several members of the all-girl tour about “where they were from.” They told him Georgia. (Six of the girls were from the Emnire State.) “Ah. Southeners,” the German youths replied,, referring to the Southern drawl. Only one country reminded Laura Sue of “home” and that was England. She reger red to “the beautiful English countryside and the many types of people.” She just loved the day’s stay on the romatic Isle of Capri which along with many other natural and .man-made sights, were preserved by Laura Sue via her camera. She reports hav ing enjoyed showing the slides to friends and relatives. She said that the French “weren’t very friendly” but that all the other natives were. She reported seeing many tourists in Paris at the world-famous Lido night club. She liked the food in Italy, the horse-drawn carriage ride in fabuluous Rome, the chair lift in Switzerland. She recall ed a visit to a concentration camp in Munich. Laura Sue and 24 other girls left Atlanta on July 7 and flew to New York where they stayed overnight. “It was my first airplane ride and I was very excited. Also, it was my first trip to New York and I was so impressed with the city and its many types of people. We sailed July Bth on the German liner Hanseatic. The seven-day cruise was something I shall never forget-” One of the first historical sights visited was West-min ister Abbey. She mentioned the poet’s corner. “I enjoyed the tour of WHAT'S HAPPENING DOWN ON THE FARM President Johnson has called for' .suspension of the 7% mvest mqnt tax credit. American busi ng is .'very much concerned. But let’s look behind this propo- ' sal to see how it will affect farm ers .and .agriculture. $" - . Farmers are in a cost-price . ' Squeeze. Already farmers of the nation are receiving 79 to 80 per , cent- of a fair price for their commcdities. And per capita or : net farm family income from farm operations are already only between one-half and two-thirds that of non-farm income. The 7 percent investment tax credit was of some help to strengthening agriculture. One small eastern farm state analyzed ’that the.’ tax credit loss would raise federal taxes to farmers . by at least S2OO. What isn’t generally realized is the fast rate of capital required in agriculture today. The value of assets used in farm production per farm worker has increased more than ten times in the last quarter century. In 1966 the in vestment per farm worker in ag riculture is almost twice that of U. S. manufacturing as a whole. The asset required per farm worker in 1940 averaged $3,326. The preliminary estimate of the average asset per farm worker required in 1966 is $35,958 com pared with an investment per Worker in manufacturing of about $19,600. . , , o A farmer today can invest SB,- 000, $10,000( or SIB,OOO in equip- BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. Windsor Castle,” Laura Sue pointed out, adding that “We didn’t get to see Queen Eliza beth.” She enjoyed seeing the state apartments of the castle. She referred to seeing “Big Ben” in London and to her pleasure in touring Stratford no Avon. They enjoyed a play at • Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. In the world of art sights to see included the National and Tate Galleries, British, and Victoria and Al bert Museum. “We went to Stratford on Avon and visited Shakespear’s home and burial place, “Miss Raulerson reported. Then, her thoughts turned to Switzer land and of that country she said, “It was the prettiest country that I visited. It was like a fairy tale to ’me with the beautiful Swiss Alps. Laura Sue commented furt her of her delightful European tour, saying: “Rome, Italy was my favorite place. It is a city full of historical sights including the old Roman Forums, the colloseums, and the fountains. We visited the graves of Keats and Shelley in the Protestant Cemetery and we saw Sophia Loran’s home in Rome and Liz Taylor and Richard Burton’s suite where they stay when they visit Rome. We also went to an open air theatre and saw an opera.” “In France, we stayed on the French Riveria several days and then went on to Paris where we saw the famous Eliffel Tower and the tomb of Napoleon. Then, we toured the world’s largest museum, the Louve. We visit ed the Nortre Dame Lathedral famous for its stained glass windows,” Miss Raulerson, said. They flew home by jet. She reiterated that she liked fly ing commnting that “It only took several hours to fly from Paris to Atlanta, where I was met by my parents.” Laura Sue’s father, E. D. Raulerson, is principal of the Blackshear High School and operates a large farm in Bacon County, where the family lives. cattle feeding Extension animal scientists at the University of Georgia says there are three phases of the beef cattle feeding opera tion that contribute to profit. These are buying, feeding, and selling. The animal scientists say more operators fall short on the selling phase than on the other two. When to sell is one of the most important questions in the cattle busi ness, they add. ment or facilities that are re quired before you can turn a round good. Not only is it being done, but it is required of the farmer. “Farmer’s Tax Guide, 1966 Edi tion”, by the U. S. Treasury &e --partment, Internal Revenue Ser.-, vice, Publication No. 225 spells'' out the meaning of the 7 percent investment tax credit. President Johnson thus is pro posing that farmers! taxes be rais ed. Os course the ’farmers’ met spendable income would be low ered in process. , Farmers as well as. the public should not be fooled into believing that they aren’t going to pay out of their pocket for wild deficit spending ideas. The American people will, and are paying, in the form of inflation, or added taxes. Oddly, in this whole process of more and more federal taxes and federal programs, the government is saying in effect, the federal government knows how to spend the people’s money better than peopie do themselves. What’s the difference in people spending government spending the people’s their money and the federal money, except that in the latter case, the people lose a little bit more of their freedom to decide how they shall spend their own money. Death and taxes may be cer tain, but it was never meant that it shall be taken from those who will work and be given to those who won’t work. TMjitTlHer RANGER AVERY ROWELL Is Ranger of the Year State Commission Praises Ranger Avery Rowell The State Game and Fish Commission has selected Wild life Ranger Avery M. Rowell of the Waycross District as the “Outstanding’ Ranger Os The Year” for the State of Georgia.

What is the best way to store chicken in the refriger ator? A.. Remove the store wrap ping if you have “brought” chicken. Poultry, like other raw meats, is very perishable. Store in the coldest part of the refrigerator in a container loosely covered with wax paper. If giblets are stuffed into the bird, remove them and store separately. They spoil more readily than the rest of the bird. Q. My market frequently has sales on ground beef. I’d like to stock up for meat loaf, spahetti sauce, chili or casse roles. Which cut should I buy? A. Ordinary ground beef is fine for the uses you listed. Ground chuck is recommend ed for hamburgers for child ren. Ground round may be used for special occasions. Q. Is it all right to store onened canned food in the refrigerator in the can? A. It is safe to store onened canned food in the refrigera tor in the original container for a few days. Be sure to cover, the can tightly to pre vent mingling of odors in the refrigerator. Q. Is there a special bread for weight watchers? A. Some breads come in smaller loaves with thinner slices. Naturally, the calorie count per slice of bread is lower than for a thick slice from a larger loaf. Q. What is the difference between summer and winter squash? B. C.
