Burson Visits All 159 County Welfare Offices Bill Burson has become the first State Welfare Director in history to visit all of Georgia’s 159 County Departments of Family and Children Services. Burson began his county visits with a tour of the Dougherty County Depart ment of Family and Children Services in Albany on June 30, 1967, and completed them with a tour of the Thomas County Department of Family and Children Services in Thomasville on June 6, 1968. His first county visit was made the day after he took the oath of office and was made in conjunction with his participation in dedication cer emonies for the Albany Re gional Youth Development Center. The last visit was made in conjunction with a trip to Thomasville to address the Thomasville Rotary Club. “I promised myself when I took this job that I would visit all county departments before the end of my first year in office,” the State Welfare Di rector said. “I am pleased that I have been able to keep this pledge and I feel that, as a result, I now have first-hand knowledge of each local sit uation which will help me do a better job in the future.” Burson said that “in the main” he is pleased with what he saw and learned in the county departments, but point ed out that many of them are overcrowded and understaffed.

Guy Chambless Is Candidate For Coroner With the incumbent declin ing to offer for re-election, and possessing the necessary technical training to fulfill the duties of the office in a com petent manner, I hereby for mally announce my candidacy for the office of Coroner of Brantley County in the Demo cratic primary to be held on September 11, 1968. It will be my purpose, if e lected, to faithfully and con scientiously perform the duties of this office to the best of my ability. I earnestly seek your vote and influence. Respectfully, Guy Chambless (Paid Political Advertisement) C&MS Tells How To Freeze Eggs Is it okay to freeze eggs? Yes — and this month might be a good time to try it! The Consumer and Marketing Ser vice reminds southeastern homemakers that eggs are in plentiful supply and favorable consumer prices are expected. Eggs may be frozen and stored in the home freezer in quantities suitable for family use. A supply of frozen eggs is often a real convenience! And freezing eggs when they are plentiful can be a real money-saver. Use only the highest quality eggs (U. S. Grade AA or A), and prepare only the quantity that can be handled without delay. Prepare eggs quickly and freeze promptly. To freeze whole eggs, break clean, sound eggs into a bowl. Stir the eggs slowly to blend yolks and whites; do not beat. Put blended eggs through a food mill or medium-mesh strainer. Add one-half table spoon com syrup or sugar or one-half teaspoon salt for each cupful of eggs to prevent the yolks from becoming gummy during storage. To prepare yolks for freez ing separately, put them through a medium-sized strain er or food mill. For each cup of liquid yolk, add one table spoon corn sirup or sugar or one-half teaspoon salt; mix thoroughly- Whites that are to be frozen should also be put through a medium-.mesh strainer or food mill. It is not necessary to add anything to the whites. Place the prepared eggs in rigid, moisture-proof contain ers of glass, plastic, heavily waxed cardboard or metal. Allow “headspace” for expan sion of the eggs as they freeze —one-half inch in half-pint or pint wide-top containers, three-fourths inch in narrow top containers. Seal the containers and freeze the egg immediately at a temperature of zero degrees F. or lower. Stored at zero, frozen eggs retain their quali ty for nine to twelve months. When you’re ready to use the frozen eggs, thaw only the amount of frozen eggs needed at one time. A half-pint con tainer will thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Because eggs spoil easily when they become warm, it is best to thaw fro zen egg products in the refri gerator and use immediately, keep them in the refrigerator and use within 24 hours. Frozen egg products, like dried egg solids, require thor ough cooking to be safe. Use them only in baked foods or in mixtures that are cooked for a long time on top of the range. In recipes, you can use three tablesooons of frozen whole eggs for one shell egg; 1 1/3 tablespoons of frozen yolk for one fresh yolk; and two table spoons of frozen white for one fresh white.

We have watched with in terest the current holding ac tion being conducted across the nation by the National Farmers Organization (NFO). Although Opponents of the NFO way of collective bar gaining are claiming that the holding action is ineffective, we just can’t quite believe them. To us it is just common sense that when farmers with hold products from the mar ket — the market has less to sell. When there is less to sell —something’s got to happen. And apparently in many areas of the country something is happening. While we do not understand all of the ins and outs of the total NFO program, we do understand this much: unless the farmer himself takes a stand for a fairer shake in the market place — no one else is going to do it for him. It is evident that NFO is trying to do just this for the farmer. It appears to be the best answer that has been presented for the American farmer’s plight thus far and is worthy of at least study by the farmer. A recent issue of TEMPO, a magazine published by the NFO, carried some interest ing figures that probably the average consumer isn’t aware of. The figures show the tre mendous difference between what the farmer gets for his product and what the con sumer pays for the product once it is processed. We know there have to be middle men — but there fig ures seem to show that some middle men along the line are getting just a bit fatter than they should and at the ex pense of the farmer.

Another Brantley County winner was Miles Mody, who placed 3rd in the Junior divi sion. Both boys will represent Brantley County at the State Show to be held in Athens Ju ly 13. Although this is Dalton’s first year as a senior, he has ridden in the district and state show for two years as a Junior. He placed 2nd in the State in 1966. Dalton is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brand of Rte. 2, Nahunta, and Miles is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Moody of Rte. 2, Waycross. Both boys are members of the Brantley County 4-H Club and the Brantley County Sad dle Club. SOUP STAINS Soup stains on shirts will come out if first rubbed with a cake of dry soap, then wash ed thoroughly, according to Miss Margie Mclntyre, home economist - clothing, with the University of Georgia’ Coop erative Extension Service. are the facts which were quot ed: The grower gets $1.02 per bushel of corn. The consumer pays about 43c for a box of corn flakes. This amounts to $21.07 per bushel of corn on the finished product . . that’s $20.05 going to someone be side the farmer who grew it. The grower gets $1.45 per bushel of wheat. The consu mer pays about 33c for five ounces of puffed wheat cereal. This amounts to $63.36 per bushel of wheat on the finish ed product . . . that’s $61.91 going to someone else beside the farmer who grew it. The grower gets $1.45 per bushel of wheat. The consumer pays about 30c per loaf of bread. That’s about SIB.OO per bushel. This means middle men get $16.55 while the farm er gets $1.45 for the product he grew. Or take the matter of pota toes. The farmer gets $1.50 per cwt. for potatoes. A 13-ounce bag of potato chips sells for 69c a bag. That amounts to $84.87 per cwt. in the finished product ... or a difference of $83.37 between what the farm er sells his product for and what the consumer buys it for. NFO has come a long way since its tumultous beginning . . . but then so has this country. Progress is born out of rebellion, matured by thought and concern and a chieved by cooperation and determination. Perhaps the program of collective bar gaining that has created a bet ter life for the industrial worker is the answer that American farmers have been looking for all these years. If it proves to be the answer, then we have no alternative but to support it.
