Edith Middleton Wins
S SOO Scholarship Award
At National 4-H Meet
Edith Middleton didn’t sus
pect when she was preparing
dinner for a working family
and six brothers and sisters
that her efforts would pay off
in a national 4-H champion
ship.
The 17-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Julian Middleton
of Hortense, Ga., just won a
SSOO college scholarship and
nationwide recognition at the
National 4-H Club Congress.
“I’ve been cooking since I
was in the fifth grade,” the
Brantley County high school
senior said. “But I still re
member the first meal I fixed
biscuits and pork chops.
“I burned the biscuits and
the meal came out half-hot
and half-cold.
But since that time, Edith
has prepared more than 2,000
dishes and 800 meals. She en
tered the 4-H food-nutrition
project seven years ago.
Monday morning Edith was
named national champion and
received congratulations from
Televisions’s Eddie Albert
(“Green Acres”).
She said her oldest sister
got ber interested in 4-H club
work, because they were al
ways entering contests and
winning.
Six of the Middleton' fa
mily’s children have been 4-H
members.
Edith plans to enter Georgia
CoPege in Milledgeville and
seek a career in home econom
ics.
“I hope to go into (agricul
tural) extension work with
4-H,” the active senior said.
She is also editor of her high
school newspaper, the “Pine
Cone,” and president of the
Future Teachers of America.

To demonstrate her enthusi
asm for foods, Edith organized
a class of 30 fifth and sixth

her cooking secrets. This pro
ject landed her on television
and radio programs throughout
Georgia. She won' the 1967 state
teen fare contest and was
named a Georgia Master 4-H
Club member.
Her speciality is “Mexicala
meat pie” and she has prepared
it 31 times for groups, clubs
and organizations. Her advice
to beginning cooks is "follow
your recipe” but that doesn’s
always work.
“For instance, I found out
that cooking at various alti
tudes makes a difference. The
difference in the texture of
corn 1 meal can change a re
