“Clean Up” in Bibb County Follows
Revoking of Beer License
ATLANTA—Revocation of the
license held by a retail beer deal
er in Bibb county last week on
the basis of information furnished
by the Brewers and Beer Distrib
utors Committee of Georgia has
resulted in a “clean-up” drive
throughout the county, directed
illegal sale of liquor, operation of
slot machines, and other undesir
able conditions,
The Committee swung into ac
tion last Tuesday, the day fol-j i
lowing an altercation at the Sev
en Bridges Tourist Camp, operat-i
otJ by M. E. Fields, during which j
a W PA worker was shot and dan
gerously wounded by anothei
customer of the place. Judge John
g Wood, state director of the |
committee, went to Macon and;
asked revocation of Fields’ beer
]j ce nse at a special meeting of the
gjbb County Commission called
for that purpose. Judge Wood
to , d the bodv that the tourist
camp had been visited by
committee’s investigators early in
March and that the operator had
been warned against selling whis
key illegally and permitting
drunkenness and general disorder
in his place of business.
The commission, after
unanimously to revoke the deal
er’s beer license, directed that
Fields be prosecuted for operat
ing a tourist camp, a dance hall
and a barbecue stand without
county licenses, and the State
Revenue Department padlocked
the whiskey store operated in con
nection with the place. Fields was
arrested the next day on the coun
ty charges and released on bond.
The Bibb County case brings to
seven the number of retail beer
licenses which have been revoked
through the activity of the com
mittee, and, according to State Di
rector Wood, constitutes “unques
tinned proof” that the organiza
tion maens business in its “clean
up or close up” campaign.

Serve Fruit Whips.
Fruit whips are good to serve
during any season of the year.
They are simple to prepare, in
expensive, and delicious.
Fruits of pronounced flavor and
color make the best fruit whips,
for example, peaches, apricots and
prunes. Cook, sieve, and sweeten
*he fruit for a whip before you
beat (he egg whites. If the whites
stand they will lose much of the
air that has been worked into
them by beating.
“ Egg whites
whip up more quick
ly when they are at ordinary room
temperature, so get the eggs out
| of the refrigerator ahead of time,
Avoid getting egg yolk of any fat
on the beater. If this gets into
the whites, they won’t beat up as
stiffly as you want them.
Adding a pinch of salt to the
egg whites before beating will in
crease the volume of the foam and
make it less likely to become wat
ery if it stands. Eifher a rotary
beater or a whip or whisk beater
may be used A rotary beater
makes a winer foam, but a whip
beater makes a greater volume.
Beat until the whites are stiff, but
not dry. At this stage the foam
w 'll be shiny, and will hold its
shape when the beater is removed.
Hot fruit pulp added hr
beaten eggs partly cooks them.
The best technique for combining
them is to pour the hot fruit mix
ture gradually over the egg
whites. Use a gentle, foldng mo
tion for mixing. If the whip i s to
be baked, pour at once into a
buttered mold or pan. Set this in
a pan of water and cook for about
an hour, in a very slow oven (225
to 250 degs. F.). A whip cooked
slowly should not fall when tak
en from the oven.
If the whip is served without
cooking, mix only a short time
before you want it.
cream, if used, is added after the
egg and fruit mixture has cooled
and just before serving. If the
whip must stand, a little gelatin
added to the hot fruit pulp (after
being softened in cold water) will
keep it light and fluffy. Use 1
teaspoon of gelatin to 3 egg \vhites
and 1 cup of fruit pulp. Chill in
refrigerator.
Heating Offers Many New
Developments
Heating systems in modern
homes have gone far beyond the
day when a furnace was expected
merely to heat a house! The mod
ern units will heat, cool, humidify
and clean the air in any house.
The attractive designs that most
of these heating units come in,
combined with the fact that they
are clean and require no dirt col
lecting fuel storage space
them a welcome addition to the
home where an old type furnace
! would prevent utilizing the base
: ment for recreation space.
Refinishing Kitrhen Tables
Old kitchen tables are now made
gay by applying stenciled designs
—a flower spray at each corner of
the top, or a conventionalized bor
der around the edge. Ths orna
mentation is put on after the table
has been painted or lacquered a
solid color. A coat of good water
proof varnish will enhance dur
ability and make the surface eas
ier to clean.

j Pools Becoming More Popular
As New Homes Add to Plans
The desirabiity of gardens Is
usually enhanced by a pool. They
add immensely to the cool
pearance , serve to set off plant
ings, and form the basis of an in
; teresting experience for most gar
deners, when growing lilies and
water plants is added to the out
door activties for the summer.
Pools can be built in either a
formal or informal manner. The
formal types usually use a rim of
brick or stone, and follow a geo
metric outline. Informal pools are
generally bordered by plants, and
sometimes have a border of flag
stones. In either case, and whe
ther the pool is to be used for
wading by the children, for grow
ing water-plants, or as a purely
decorative feature, certain steps
should be taken in the preparation
of the sidewalls. They are best
constructed of concrete, usually
reinforced with fence or chicken
wire. The sidewalls should have a
| slight slope, in the average pool not
j | exceeding four or six inches. The
bottom of the pool can then be
| kept flat, except in the case of the
very small pools, where a saucer
shape should be used.
A drain should be provided, but
if a regular pipe cannot be inelud
j ed, a garden hose can be used to
siphone the water into the base
ment drain or a low spot in the
yard when it is necessary to drain
the pool in the fall.
Where kudzu is growing on land
that, is needed for some other
purpose, it may be eradicated in
one season by plowing or in two
or three seasons by close, continu
ous grazing.
