I AGREE WITH UNCLE SAM! Or. rather, I agree with
Uncle Sam’s Treasury Department, which recently saluted
the women of America for 20 years of service in the U. S.
Savings Bond Program. As the Treasury so aptly stated,
“Thousands of husbands and fathers owe their Payroll
Savings nest-egg to the influence of their wives. Many a
boy and girl wouldn’t have a full Savings Stamp book,
but for Mom. And many a bond would not be sold, but
for women volunteers . .

WHY YELLOW? Why are the Yellow Pages of your
telephone directory yellow? Why not blue, or pink, or
purple? Did someone, back during the telephone’s infancy,
like canaries? Not at all. (At least, that’s not the reason
Yellow Pages are yellow.) The reason is purely scientific
—-determined by an eye specialist. Black print on yellow
paper is the second most legible color combination! Black
print on white paper is first, but that's “taken” by the
alphabetical section.

VACATIONING SOON? Don’t forget to carry along
your toothbrush, film for your camera ... and your little
blue book of telephone numbers for those long distance
calls you’ll be making to the folks back home!

RIGHT AT HOME on the farm nowadays is—you
guessed it farm interphone! And talk about convenience!
A farm interphone system gives you both intercom and
regular telephone service from
strategic spots around your
farm. With farm interphone,
Mom can throw away the din
ner bell, too ... just call the
family to supper! How ya
gonna keep ’em down on the
farm? Install an interphone
system, of course!

Friendship is one of Life’s
greatest channels of blessings.
It turns Caring into Sharing of
the woes as well as the joys
that come our way. Language
barriers may render its sound
strange in other tongues; but
there is no mistaking the out
stretched hand and gracious
warmth of a welcoming smile,
in any language.
This week we are happy to
present as our new neighbors
and friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ed
Ricker, and their five year old
daughter, Kim, who have re
cently moved from Cincinnati,
0., to make their home on
Fletcher St., in Oxford.
Mr. Ricker, personnel direc

of Brunswick Company, is a
native of Tiffin, O. Included
among his hobbies are all out
door sports, especially fishing
and hunting; golf and specta
tor sports.
Mrs. Ricker, who claims
Cincinnati as her home town,
shares her husbands love of
water sports. In addition, she
likes handcrafts, Little Theatre,
and bridge as hobbies; and our
school system will be happy to
learn that she also enjoys sub
stitute teaching!
The Rickers are welcome ad
ditions to the younger married
contingent, as well as the com
imunity life of Newton County.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
tractive silk sheath in mint

Tips to the Homemaker
PREVENTING DISCOLORA
TION OF FROZEN FRUITS
Many frozen fruits such as
peaches, apples, pears, and
cherries darken on exposure to
air. Much of this can be pre
vented by preparing rapidly and
quickly covering with syrup.
It can be further reduced by
adding a small quantity of
either ascorbic acid (vitamin
C) or lemon juice, depending on
the method of packing. The
ascorbic acid may be pur
chased from one of our local
drug stores. ,
Let’s take each way of pack
ing these frozen products and
point out the amount and kind
of additive to use. If you use
the sugar pack method, add
one-half teaspoon powdered
ascorbic acid to each pound of
sugar and thoroughly mix with
six pounds of fruit. For the
syrup pack method, add one
: half teaspoon ascorbic acid to
one quart of water and one
quart of sugar and then mix it
with four quarts of fruit. For
this method, you can also add
three tablespoons of lemon juice
to one quart of water and one
quart of sugar and mix it with
four quarts of fruit.
Many homemakers buy a
commerical preparation. In this
case, you’ll want to follow
carefully the directions print
ed on the container.
Soft water is essential in any
good washing procedure. The
use of a non-precipitating type
water softner is suggested if
soft water is not available.
Let me note one laundering
i procedure found effective when
used on white nylon each time
the articles are laundered in
the home. Before washing
heavily soiled areas should be
pretreated by thoroughly rub
bing them with a heavy duty
liquid detergent or a concen
trated paste made from water
and heavy duty detergent. The
use of the machine-washing
method is encouraged where
ever possible as the most ef
fective way to launder white
: nylon.
THIS WEEK’S TIP
There are many things fami
■ lies can enjoy together—back
। yard cook-outs where the child
iren help or perhaps take their
j turn, hikes to interesting pla
, ces, swimming parties, trips,
picnics, building something,
i reddin'? together, and garden
ing. Working together as a
i lamdy can be a lot of fun.
Miss Womack
Is Engaged To
Jerry Patterson
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Womack
of Porterdale, announce the
engagement of their daughter
Miss Sally E. Womack, to Jerry
A. Patterson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Patterson, also of
Porterdale.
Miss Womack is a graduate of
Newton County High School
and is employed by the Geor
gia Department of Labor in
Atlanta. Mr. Patterson attend
ed Newton High and i- serving
in the US Navy, aboard the
Aircraft Carrier USS Hancock.
The wedding will take place
in early January.
Benjamin Franklin’s Poor
Richard’s Almanac said “A
penny saved is a penny got.”
U. S. Savings Bonds earn more
for you or get you more than
ever before — 3 3/4 per cent
when held to maturity.
Home Freezers
Authorities predict that over
one million food freezers will
be sold in 1961. With around 13
million freezers in use, freez
ers are getting to be an ac
cepted home appliance, says
Miss Nelle Thrash, Extension
food preservation specialist.
How fast do savings grow
in U. S. Savings Bonds? Save
$5 a week in E bonds; in three
years you’ll have over SBOO, in
5 years over $1,400; in 7 years
and 9 months, when your first
bond matures, you’ll have over
$2,300.
