Barbecued Chicken —
A Family Delight
Those tender young broilers
—so plentiful at foodstores
now—can be prepared for fam
ily meals or outdoor affairs.
Barbecued chicken, for ex
ample, has far above average
appetite appeal. Its inviting
goodness on the serving plates
that helps make other sum
mertime foods look and taste
delicious.
There are many ways to bar
becue a chicken. Some folks
like to use tomatoes as the base
for the sauce. Others prefer
vinegar. Some like to season
the chicken in the sauce before
cooking while other baste the
chicken during cooking. Many
use the barbecue sauce as a
dip for the cooked chicken.
One good barbecue sauce is
one in which you use vinegar
as base. Combine two parts
vinegar, one part water, and
one part melted butter with
salt to taste. As you cook the
chicken, turn the disjointed
parts frequently for even
browning and baste it after
turning.
While we are talking about
broilers and the low prices they
are selling for right now, may
I suggest that we freeze some I

Cantaloupe Pickle-Making
Experiments conducted by
food technologists over a four
year period at our Georgia Ex
periment Station show that
excellent pickles may be made
from cantaloupes—a leading
crop here in the Southeast.
The varieties most suitable
for pickles are those found to
be preferred for eating fresh —
the melons with thick meat,
thin rind, and small cavity.
Peeling the melons and shap
ing the pieces consists mainly
of removing the peel to a
depth of one-third inch, re
moving the seed, connective
tissue, and soft layer near the
seed, and cutting the meat in
to desired shapes.
In order to produce the de
sired firmness in cantaloupe
pickles, it’s necessary to firm
the prepared product. The re
search showed that satisfactory
firming was accomplished by
selecting medium ripe melons,
cutting into pieces with a mix
imum thickness of one - half
inch, dipping them in a solu
tion containing one ounce of
calcuim hydroxide or calcuim
oxide per gallon. It is then
held at room temperature for
16 hours. Uniform results are
obtained by using three parts
of solution to one part canta
loupe and agitating the solu
tion at one-hour intervals for
the first four hours of treat
ment.
I would like to list one test
ed formula which yields about
33 ten-ounce jars of cantaloupe
pickles. Use 10 pounds of firm
ed cantaloupe, two gallons of
water, 12 1/2 pounds of sugar,
seven pints of 40 grain vinegar,
23 teaspoons of cinnamon, one
teaspoon of cloves, two and a
half teaspoons of allspice, and
one-third teaspoon of ginger.
You will want to mix the
water, sugar, and vinegar and
bring this mixture to a boil.
Then you add the cantaloupe
and allow it to stand for 10
minutes. Cook it slowly for
one hour or until the product
becomes clear around the edges
and air bubbles form in the
center. Increase the heat
rapidly until the syrup reach
es 218- degrees farenheit. Then
add your spice oils, remove it
from the heat, pack the can
taloupe pieces loosely in hot
jars, cover with hot syrup, seal
and cool rapidly.
If you would like further
information about making this
delicious pickle, please let me
know.
This Week's Tip
Do you have trouble with
your frozen peaches turning
dark?
Frozen peaches should have
a pretty, clear color. To ac
complish this, work with small
quantities of peaches, prepare
them rapidly and use an ad
dition of ascorbic acid.

Keep Household
Preparations
Out Os Reach
Time was when household
cleaners came in such ugly
bottles and smelled so awful
they were kept carefully out
of sight. Now many of them
are all dolled up. pretty to
look at, pleasant to smell. So
they’re out on display in the
kitchen, a danger to inquisitive
young children.
Though practically every
room in the house has its haz
ards for youngsters, the kitch
en is beginning to take the lead.
Detergents, bleaches, waxes,
insecticides, — children have
been known to drink them all.
Most of the youngsters who
swallow the poisonous stuff
are three years old or younger,
but the four and five year olds
get their share, too.
Best of all is to keep all
household preparations out of
children’s reach. If the young
ones get to the stuff anyway,
make for the nearest doctor or
hospital emergency room.
You can try to induce vom
iting yourself, but this should
never be done if the child has
drunk kerosene or anyth'ng
corrosive. Since you can’t al
ways tell what’s in whatever
the child drank, you’d better
let the doctor or hospital take
care of it. Make a note of the
brand name or, better yet, take
the container with you.

History of Naval Aviation 1941-50
December 7, 1941, the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor. When the
Japanese attacked, by great for
tune, the three carriers of the
Pacific Fleet were not present.
The SARATOGA was in San Diego,
just out of overhaul, the LEXING
TON was at sea about 425 miles
southeast of Midway enroute to
deliver a Marine Scout Bombing
Squadron and the ENTERPRISE
was about 200 miles west of Pearl
Harbor returning from Wake Is
land after delivering a Marine
Fighter Squadron there. Scouting
Squadron 6 from the ENTER
PRISE arrived during the attack
and engaged enemy aircraft.
The old USS LANGLEY pressed
into service to deliver P-40s to
Java was sunk on 27 February 19-
42, 75 miles off Tjilatjap, Java.
In May during the Battle of the
Coral Sea. the LEXINGTON was
lost, but in June the Japanese re
ceived perhaps the hardest blow
they suffered in the entire war
when Carrier Task Forces 16 and
17 intercepted the Japanese Mid
way Invasion Fleet and sunk four
of their first line carriers in the
most decisive naval engagement
of the war.
The year 1943 was a year of
build up and isolated actions, and
by the end of the year, the Navy
was ready to begin the march on
Japan. Guadalcanal had survived,
Midway had survived, and in Nov
ember of that year, a fast carrier
task force was hitting Japanese
installations on Jaluit, Mili, Buter
iteri, and Btitu Islands, preparing
for the assault and occupation of
the Gilberts - Tarawa. By year’s

CENTENNIAL
< GEORGIA

Peter Zack Geer, Chairman
I Civil War Centennial Commission
It is encouraging to find that local organizations
throughout Georgia are beginning to take an active
interest in commemorating the War Between the
States. There is now an active organization in almost
one-third of the counties and others are being added
every week.
It has been our experience that when local groups
are better informed as to the origin and purpose of the
Centennial they are more interested in participating.
’The success of the Centennial depends on leadership on
(the local level.
Origin and Purpose
The Centennial Commission of Georgia was created
by executive order in April, 1959 for the purpose of
observing one of the most important chapters in our
history. It is not a celebration in the sense that it is
an occasion for merriment or jollification—it is a com
memoration to honor those Georgians who sacrificed,
ifought and died for the principles in which they
believed.
A host of outstanding Georgians, including civic,
business and professional leaders, members of UDC
,and SCV, historians and others interested in the Civil
War observance were named on the Commission.
i
The first statewide event of the Commission was
ithe Centennial Premier of “Gone with the Wind’’ and
Ihe Benefit Costume Ball, which was attended by a
Inumber of Hollywood personalities, including many
(of the leading stars in the movie. The official beginning
pf the commemoration of the War Between The States
was the re-enactment of the Secession Convention,
along with parades, balls and other festivities in
Milledgeville January 19-21.
Many other important state-wide projects are being
undertaken and planned by the Commission, but the
chief aim is to assist local committees in planning
appropriate ceremonies during the Centennial period.
The five-fold purpose of the Centennial Commission
is as follows:
1. To honor the valor and sacrifice of Georgians
who fought and died for principles which they
believed eternal, and for the sons of other Con
federate states who also made the supreme
sacrifice.
2. To perpetuate a knowledge of the deeds and
traditions of a valiant people who, through the
terrible ordeals of a great war, forged one
nation under God.
S. To educate the public concerning the campaigns,
shrines, the personalities and the human story
of the conflict in Georgia, in the faith that the
knowledge of truth will finally lead to understand
ing and not resentment.
4. To preserve the monuments, the graves, the relics
and the ruins of the wartime past to remind this
and future generations of their link with history.
5. To locate and preserve valuable documents,
diaries, manuscripts, photographs, newspapers
and other records contributing to the true history
of the war. Encourage the persons who own such
mementos to take or send them to the state
archives or some local agency for filming.
In subsequent columns, the activities of local organi
sations throughout the State will be reported, along
with suggestions from members of the Commission
as to how to set up committees in those counties and
cities which have not yet done so.

In January 1944 Kwajalein fell,
in the following months Majuro
and Eniwetok were taken. And in
June 1944 Saipan and Tinian.
Next came Palau, and in October
the battle for Leyte Gulf had open
i ed.
With Leyte secured, the war in
the Pacific was in its final phase
in 1945. The Battle of the East
Shina Sea which occurred 7 April’4s
saw the YAMATO, the pride of
the Japanese Fleet go down, along
with a cruiser and eight destroy
ers under the bombs and torpe
does of U. S. Navy carrier air
craft. Later in April the only auto
matic homing missile to be used
in World War II was launched in
combat when planes of Patrol
Bombing Squadron 109 released
two BAT missiles against shipping
in Balikapan Harbor, Borneo. On
30 June, the strength of Naval
Aviation had risen to 20 fleet car
riers, 8 light carriers, 70 escort
carriers, 40,893 aircraft and 48,-
948 pilots on active duty. In July
carriers of the Fleet were operat
ing off the coast of Japan, and in
August, Japan surrendered. The
second conflict had ended.
The year 1946 was spent in de
mobilization and retrenchment.
However, it was also the year
when the first jet aircraft operat

P2V NEPTUNE, flew from Perth,
Australia to Columbus, Ohio in 55
hours, 17 minutes, covering the
distance of 11,235.6 miles -a

aircraft which still stands.

Tablets Relieve
Acid Indigestion
Nobody knows for sure how
many people carry around
those little rolls of antacid ta
blets, but it probably runs in
to the millions. The tablets are
chewed to relieve heartburn,
or the so-called acid indiges
tion.
Heartburn is a burning sen
sation that starts near the
stomach under the lower part
of the breastbone and goes up
into the throat. Heartburn has
noting to do with your heart.
It comes from the collection of
food or digestive juices in the
lower part of the gullet, the
swallowing tube. It has noth
ing to do with too much acid
in the stomach. The natural
stomach juice, hydrocholoric
acid, is a weak solution, and
doesn’t burn your stomach.
An occasional attack of
heartburn probably means no
thing and anything that re
lieves it is all right to take

that year Major Marion Carl, US

3 kilometer course at Murco,
California.
The first full jet squadron com

on 8 May 1948, when Fighting
Squadron 17-A qualified on board
the USS SAIPAN.
The first shipboard guided mis

California, the highest altitude ever
