To be se lected to be among this dis tinguished group is quite an honor. So far this year, the Bth Dis trict has had two young men who have been awarded this grant which is referred to as the Rhodes Scholarship. Charles T. Ratcliffe of Brunswick is now in Tokyo, Japan doing graduate study in economics at the Economic Research Center and Alfred DeWitt Corn, 111 of Valdosta is at the National Library in Paris. The Bth District should be proud of these two young men and their achievements.

The delegates attending the State Convention will be rep resenting over 25,000 FFA members in Georgia. These Future Farmers are students of vocational agriculture in high school. Eggs Now One Os Best Buys For Consumers One of the best food bar gains afloat now for south eastern consumers is plentiful eggs! Reports from the dairy and poultry market news office of USDA’s Consumer and Mar keting Service in Atlanta show that egg supplies are up and prices to producers are the lowest they have been in re cent years. Meanwhile, pro ducers’ egg production costs have continued to rise. Wise homemakers will take advantage of the plentiful supply and attractive retail prices to whip up some deli cious, seasonal and economical desserts. Light and airy desserts made with “beaten egg whites” provide the focal point for your party table. Egg whites can easily be beat en into a moist, stiff, shiny and delicate puff that forms gentle peaks when the beaters are moved, IF certain simple steps are followed. (1) Remove eggs from re frigerator one hour before us ing. (2) To separate eggs, crack shell in center, juggle yolk between shell halves, let white pour off into mixing bowl. (3) Remove all traces of yolk from whites with egg shell or paper towel. (4) Use grease-free beaters, bowl and rubber scraper. A Meringue Bell piled high with strawberry ice cream is perfect for bridal showers. Beat 6 egg whites until stiff. Add 2 cups sugar (2 table spoons every 2 minutes) beat ing at a low speed. Add 1 teaspoon each vinegar and vanilla, beat at a high speed for 10 minutes. Spoon the meringue onto a greased coo kie sheet, in shape of bell with hollowed center and built-up edges. Bake 45 min utes at 275 degrees, plus 30 minutes at 250 degrees. Put on rack to cool and cover with waxed paper to store until needed. people of other countries by means of educational and cul tural exchange; to strengthen the ties which unite us with other nations — and thus as sist in the development of friendly, sympathetic and peaceful relations between the United States and the other countries of the world. I doubt that anyone would disagree that the promotion of friendly and peaceful rela tions throughout the world is more important today than ever before. With Charles and Alfred participating in this program, the people of the Bth District can take pride in knowing that our District is contributing toward peaceful relations with other countries. I believe that each and every young person in our Bth District should be encouraged to continue their education as far as possible. More and more educational achieve ments such as the Rhodes Scholarship will continue to benefit our District and bring recognition to it throughout the world.

Carelessness Causes Rise in Home Burglaries Burglary, long the bane of businessmen, is beginning to take an even sharper toll on the homemaker — and the trend goes on the upswing during the vacation season. Liberty Mutual Insurance Companies cites a report which says that residential burglaries have risen from 43 per cent of the total in 1962 to 49.5 per cent in 1965. What’s more, stolen pro perty value in each burglary now averages $263, compared to $227 taken in the average commercial burglary. What is causing this trend? “Carelessness by the horne owner and the growing num ber of portable valuables in the home,” said Alan Stevens, in charge of crime loss pre vention at Liberty Mutual. “Business and industry have taken action to prevent bur glaries,” he said. “While the homoewner — when you look at the overall picture — really hasn’t yet.” Carrying the idea a step further, Mr. Stevens said, “Watchmen, watchdogs, high ty-intricate alarm devices have been employed by busi ness. while many homeowners don’t even bother locking their doors when they go out.” ! The record indicates, ac cording to Mr. Stevens, that n^ost home burglaries are per formed by amateurs — and usually in daytime when no ohe is at home. '“Peope unwittingly have a tendency to broadcast the fact that they are not home,” he s^id. ■They leave the garage door open, showing that the family car is gone; they forget to tell tne newsboy or milk delivery nian to stop deliveries while the family is on vacation; they don’t bother to tell the next dbor neighbor to keep an eye oil the house. i“The list is endless.” The key to preventing home burglaries, Mr. Stevens said, is “inconvenience.” “Because the burglar is us ually an amateur,” he said, “he can be deterred if all the doors and windows are locked or if the family has a dog. It simply must be inconvenient and even difficult for him to enter and leave the home un detected.” BULLETIN CITES SOYBEAN INSECT CONTROL TIPS Are you bothered with Mexican bean beetles, velvet bean caterpillars, green cloverworms, corn earworms or stink bugs? If you are a soy bean grower, you have prob ably seen what damage they can do to an otherwise good crop. A new publication by Dr. C. R. Jordan, head of the en tomology department at the University of Georgia Coop erative Extension Service, of fers tips to soybean growers on the identification of these and other insects as well as their control. “A number of different in sects attack soybeans and may cause serious repercussions in yield and grade,” Dr. Jordan said. Soybean growers can be assured of effective and eco nomical use of insecticides, if they determine when insect in festations reach a damaging level and follow Extension re commendations, he pointed out. Thrips, blister beetles, the bean leaf beetles, cutworms and the three-cornered alfalfa hooper sometimes attack soy beans. Insecticides listed in Dr. Jordan’s publication for the major pests should give adequate control of these in sects too. Interested soybean growers may obtain copies of this and other farm and home publica tions at local county Exten sion offices. Mrs. E. A. Moody Passed Away Sunday Morning The passing of Mrs. Bertie Pierce Moody, 75, beloved Na hunta matron, whose death occurred early Sunday morn ing, July 16, at Memorial Hos pital in Waycross, occasioned much sorrow in Nahunta and other communities through out this section and removes one of Brantley county’s most beloved and esteemed resi dents.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND TAX Inside county $2.58 Outside county, in state $4.12 Outside state $4.00 Blackshear warehouses will open Saturday, July 22, to be gin receiving the 1967 crop of flue-cured tobacco for auction sales which begin next Wednesday, July 26. One of the best tobacco crops in many years is report ed being harvested in this area. Volume is expected to be heavy because of pound age-acreage carry-overs from last year, when the crop was hurt by extremely wet weath er. Producers’ sales on 1 the Blackshear market in 1966 amounted to 8,447,370 pounds as compared with 10,037,000 pounds the previous year. Good prices are expected to prevail. The government price support by grades averages slightly higher this year than for 1966. Six warehouses with two sets of buyers will again serve growers who sell on the Blackhear market. Georgians Favor Tobacco Control Athens, Ga. — Georgia to bacco growers voted over whelmingly Tuesday to retain a present acreage-poundage control program by the U. S. Department of Agriculture on flue-cured tobacco. William H. Booth, execu tive director of the state Ag riculture Stabilization and Conservation Service, announ ced after farmers completed voting in a special referendum that the unofficial count was 13,350 in favor of the program and only 916 against. Booth said it would be at least two days before the of ficial vote would be announ ced. The unofficial count, how ever indicated what admin istration backers had predict ed — that there would be no organized resistance to the program across the state. Agriculture experts said the program, which became effec tive in 1965, is responsible for record incomes and higher grades of tobacco. The referendum is to allow continuance of the program for the 1968-69 and 1970 crops. Farmers in Georgia, Florida and South Carolina opposed the original program, but it passed with a favorable vote from other flue-cured tobacco growing states. Here’s a scaled down rec ipe of this history-making omelette that you can make quickly and easily in your own kitchen.
