LUTHER ELROD SPEAKS
ON SOIL CONSERVATION
AT LIONS LUNCHEON
(From Athens Times)
“Georgia Lions, led by William T.
Ray, district governor, has done
much towards the advancement of
■oil conservation in this state,” Luth
er Elrod said at Thursday's luncheon
of the Athens Lions club at the Hol
man hotel.
‘‘William Ray made it possible for
the district supervisor, Loy E. Rast
to make talks to various civic organi
sations in Georgia on this project.
In the past twelve months, twelve
new camps have been established and
muny of these are in those sections
where Mr. Rast obtained the enthusi
asm of the Lions clubs. Wc are al
so putting in soon three sub-projects.
One of these is in Hall county, an
other in Floyd and another in
Troupe.
“The Lions club are also sponsor
ing our forestry camps which take
care of the youth of the land. There
arc not two nobler projects and the
Lions’ influence have done much to
wards forwarding them.
“There is only one acre of fertile
land for each inhabitant of the
United States,” the speaker, who is
connected with the local conservation
office, continued. “There are 13
acres per person in the United >
States, but 12 of these are untillable.
Five of these acres can be brought
back to their fertility and that is
what the present* administration is
trying to do.
“Fifty nine per cent of the farm
land in Georgia is gone. In the past
45 years, Oklahoma, one of the
richest states in the beginning, is
now one of the worst eroded states
in the Union.
“During the war we cleared a
way land to make more room for
raising foodstuffs. Immediately af
ter the war, the price of cotton went
up and we cleared away even more
land to raise cotton. The depression
came on, cotton went down, and
farms w'ere forsaken and lands were
washed away. Because of this, we
have eroded more land in the past
15 or 20 years than ever before.”

I DO NOT KNOW
I did not know the sky revealed
Such colors wondrous fair;
One day I gave an tfpward glance
And saw a rainbow there.
I did not know that man could be
So gentle and so kind;
1 spent a peaceful afternoon
In company of the blind.
I did not know what flowers held
Within their cloistered cell;
A friend brought heliotrope to me,
And helped to make me well.
I did not know that common things
Were much approved of God;
I watched a man with saintly face
A-working in the sod.
1 did not know a little child
Could show the way to live;
One taught me how to pray aright
Another how to give
I did not know a beggannan
Did anything worthwhile;
I gave to one a silver coin,
He gave back a smile.
I did not know that any book
Could mean so much to me;
1 read; “And ye shall know the
Truth
“And the Truth shall make you
free.”
—Greenville Kleiser.
IN YOUR OWN COIN
Tik> universe pays every man in

upon you in return; if you sing, you
will be invited into gay company; if
you think, you will be entertained
by thinkers; and ir you love the
world and earnestly seek for the
good that is therein, it will pour into
your lap the treasures of the earth.,|

COLORED PEOPLES 4-H CLUB
NEV/S
The Annual State Short Course is
now history. We went, saw, and
conquered. I thank the parents and
the good members of the Board of
Education for the help given me in
transporting my group of 25 boys
and girla to and fro. It was very
unfortunate for our county to not
be able to take our county cham
pions to camp this year, due to ill
ness, yet their achievement records
were sent in, and May Leva Mack
was given a cash prize of $2.50,
equaling the same amount won by
her last year.
t t t
The Oliver family reunion held at
their home on August 15th was well
attended by relatives and friends.
The program put over by the club
women and others was very appro
priate, and well rendered. The not
ed speakers were Rev. O. T Williams,
Golighlly; Rev. White and Mrs. E.
F. Billups of Athena, Ga. Music was
furnished by the Hardman and
Wheeler Brothers. I was glad to be
present, and have the opportunity to
speak to my club members from
various parts of the county, and to
the members of the county adult
council.
J t t
The annual club picnic will be
held at King’s Bridge on Friday be
fore the first Sunday in September.
Each club is asked to bring some
thing for sale, for the purpose of
raising funds to help foster the
work in the county.
t t t
Please, council members and presi
dents of all clubs, try to keep the
club spirit alive while I am away on
my vacation, which I hope to take
the early part of next month, so that
on my return I will see that they
have been using their back-bones, in
stead of their wish-bones.

SALMON FOR CHILDREN.
4k
HERE’S a letter from a mother
who had the courage to do
some pioneering in feeding
her child.
“I’ve read very little,” she
wrote, “on the use of salmon for
little folks, but I suppose quite a
bit of research has been done
along that line. My little son,
now over two years of age, the
picture of health, has had salmon'
since shortly before he was two
years old. Eggs could not he
ushd in his diet because they did
not agree with him, but some pro
tein and minerals he must have,
so I started lirst with the broth
from the can of salmon, then
added the salmon later.
“Coaxing children to eat spinach
seems to be a universal problem.
If the spinach is mixed with an
equal amount of salmon and a
little broth added, it all disap
pears like magic.”
She Was Right
That this mother was right in
concluding that her boy would get
good protein from the salmon is
proved by the following table of
comparative food values:
Percent of Protein
Pink Salmon 21.40
Coho Salmon 21.08
Sockeye Salmon 20.80
Chinook Salmon 17.67
Sirloin Steak 16.30
Sugar Cured Ham 14.20
Macaroni 13.40
Eggs 13.10
Spring Chicken 12.00
Rice 800
Baked Beans (canned) 6.90
Potatoes 1-80

OUR SECRET AMBITION
Salmon also has a high mineral
content according to Henry C.
Sherman, Ph.D., Se.D., in his book
"Chemistry of Food and Nutri
tion,” so the mother was right in
this again. We would not recom
mend, however, f jeding salmon or
any other food to very young chil
dren without first consulting your
doctor. There is nothing more
important than your children’s
diet, and you should check on it
in every way you can.
Salmon for Grown-Ups
There never has been any
doubt, however, that salmon is a
good food for grown-ups. So
here are some recipes for its use
which you can serve to them, and
to the children, too, if the doctor
says so.
Sautid Salmon with Deviled
Egg Sauce: Remove the salmon
steaks very carefully from four
3%-ounce cans, and lay in a hot
skillet with a little butter. Saut6
gently on both sides, turning with
a wide spatula to avoid breaking.
Serve with this sauce: Melt one
tablespoon butter, add one table
spoon flour and stir smooth. Add
three-fourths cup hot water
slowly, and cook until thick, stir
ring all the time. Add one table
spoon lemon juice, one-fourth tea
spoon mustard, salt, pepper and
paprika. Mash the yolk of one
hard-cooked egg and stir into the
sauce. Add finely-chopped egg
whites. This serves four. One
can of salmon steak serves one.

can of salmon for salad in the
can, open and transfer to a small
bowl lined with lettuce, being
careful not to break up the meat.
Mix one-fourth cup mayonnaise
with one tablespoon thick sweet
or sour cream, one teaspoon vine
gar, one tablespoon chopped cel
ery, one tablespoon chopped pimi
ento, one teaspoon capers and one
teaspoon India relish or chopped
sweet pickle, and spread over the
salmon. Serves two to three.
Salmon and Tomato Bisque:
Turn the fish and liquor from a
1-pound can of salmon into a stew
pan and add the contents of a
15-ounce can tomatoes, one hay
leaf, one sliced onion, one-fourth
teaspoon peppercorns and one cup
water, and stew gently for about
fifteen minutes. Press through a
coarse sieve. Reheat and add a
pinch of soda, and pouf slowly
into a white sauca made of four
tablespoons butter, four table
spoons flour and two and one-half
cups milk.' Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Serves six.
A Succulent Souffle
Salmon Souffle: Turn the
strained cereal from a lO’/i-ounce
can into a double boiler and heat,
then add the flaked salmon from
a 1-pound can and throe table
spoons butter. Add the well
beaten yolks of three eggs, and
salt to taste. Fold in the stiffly
beaten egg whites, and pour into
a buttered baking dish. Bake in
a moderate oven—3so degrees—
for from thirty to thirty-five
minutes. Serve at once. Serve*
