Food Freezers Make $ Sense
Over 12-million food freez
ers are in American homes but
there is still question as to
whether it’s a paying propo
sition to own one.
Let’s look at it this way—we
are recognized as the best fed
nation in the world. With a
food freezer, any homemaker
can easily plan her menus
monthly, shopping trips
monthly and set aside some
time to prepare dishes requir
ing extra preparation and store
a month’s supply for ready
use.
Money is also saved by pro
ducing the family food supply
and storing in the food freezer.
Food may be bought fresh when
In season and at its best quali
ty and stored in the freezer
Buying meats in wholesale
quantity is a real savings. The
homemaker also takes advan
tage of specials on commercial
frozen foods.

The wise use of the food
freezer eliminates much of the
impulse buying and helps the
homemaker buy foods on a
planned basis. Perhaps the
most important value comes
from feeding the family nutri
tious meals.
Would you agree that own
ing a food freezer makes dol
lar sense? It saves a home
maker valuable time in pre
paring and serving her family
nutritious meals.

Pecans Year-Round
Pecans may be satisfactori
ly stored under refrigeration at
home for year-round consump
tion by following a few basic
points.
The most desirable pecans
for storage are those that are
plump, well-filled and charac
teristic of their variety. The
best pecans are those that ri
pen in mid-season. Allow them
to mature fully on the tree and
don’t permit them to lie on
the wet ground. Sound, well
filled nuts of any variety may
be successfully stored.
While unshelled pecans re
sist insects, molding and ran
cidity much longer than shell
ed nuts, it’s recommended tha>
the shells be removed before
storage to reduce the weight
and space occupied to about
onehalf depending upon the
variety. It’s more convenient
to prepare and store them
ready to use. Large quantities
of pecans for use or sale should
be stored temporarily in a dry,
cool place without shelling.
Storing pecans under refrig
eration is the best way to keep
the fresh color, aroma and fla
vor and prevent insect infes
tation. The lower the tempera
ture, the longer they will keep
Where pecans are stored in the
kitchen pantry at 70-80 de
grees, they will remain fresh
for only about two months and
may be attacked by mice, ants,
or moths in less time. If stored
in the home refrigerator, they
may be held for about nine
months. At zero degrees in the
home freezer, they will stay in
good condition up to two years.
Unshelled pecans may be
held for two to four times long
er under the same conditions
than shelled pecana but they
use so much more space. Pe
can pieces may be held for
only one-half to one-fourth as
long, depending upon the size
of the pieces. These should be
packaged separately and used
first.
In storing pecans, let’s re
member to use pecans while
they are still fresh, use well
filled nuts, shell them before
storing, dry pecan halves thor
oughly, and store them in od
orless, moisture-vapor proof,
airtight, tasteless and grease
proof containers.
I would be glad to talk with
you further about storing pe
cans —a crop of growing im
portance in Georgia.

A Turkey Size For Your Family
Remember the time when
we wanted to buy a small tur
key to fit an apartment-sized
oven or to feed a small family
and the smallest we could find
weighed 15 pounds or more?
Now there is a turkey just
the size to fit the size of your
family. If your family is small,
try a turkey “fryer-roaster.”
It’s a young bird about three
to four months old and weighs
from three to eight pounds. It
can be fried, broiled, stuffed
and roasted.
The middle - size family
should select a middle - size
bird. You can get roasting-age
hens anywhere from five to 15
pounds. Figure it on the basis
of three-fourths pound per
serving.
You may also find turkey
parts on the market this year.
These cost a little more per
pound than whole turkeys but
can eliminate the left-overs. If
your family eats only white or
dark meat, it may be cheaper
to select just the pieces they
like.

This Week's Tip
In order to shell pecans as
unbroken halves, dampen or
condition them immediately
before cracking. Dampening
may be by the damp towel or
pressure cooker method. The
pressure cooker method is much
faster. Place enough water in
a pressure cooker or saucepan
to cover the rack in the bottom,
fill with pecans and steam un
der five pounds pressure foi
10 minutes. Remove the nuts
from the cooker and let them
cool before cracking.
To use the damp towel meth
od, double a towel or clean
cloth sack, spread flat, cover
with pecans three layers deep,
then spread towel over the nuts
and dampen thoroughly. Allow
them to stay there overnight
and crack the next day.
Pecans should be shelled
within 24 hours after they are
mostened. Crack them by ap-
Coliseum Work
To Begin Soon
Gov. Ernest Vandiver has
announced that construction
on the University of Georgia's
$4-million multi-purpose coli
seum is about ready to begin.
It is expected to be completed
by May, 1963.
The new coliseum, with 10,-
000 permanent seats and ac
commodations for 4.000 tem
porary seats, not only will be
used as a sports arena, but al
so for livestock shows, rodeos,
conferences, exhibitions and
other events.
At the same time, Gov. Van
diver said contracts have been
let for a new $1,688,000 phar
macy building for the Univer
sity of Georgia in Athens and
for a $670,778 library building
for the Medical College at Au

without the cost of the trip and

fact that the sales rung up on
Covington cash registers go
right back into Newton Coun

Congratulations to Boy Scout
leaders and Scouts of all ages
for the splendid program they
promote in the Newton-Rock
dale District. Newton-Rockdale
District. Newton County takes
just pride in the number and
calibre of adults who have
participated in the great Scout
ing program through the years.
Currently serving the N-R
District are E. G. Lassiter,
Chairman; S. J. Morcock, Vice
chairman; and B. C. Crowell,
Commissioner. The District en
rollment includes 150 register
ed adult Scout Leaders, 43
units, and 786 boys in Cub
Packs, Troops and Explorer
Posts. Reports from erch unit
will be heard tonight (Thurs
day) at the annual Newton-
Rockdale District Banquet at
E. L. Ficquett School cafetori
um.
Good wishes for an early re
covery 'wing their way to Mrs.
Joe Heard, known to most of
her close friends as “Baby”,
and Mrs. R. W. Osborn, both
patients at Newton County
Hospital; and on up to Atlan
ta, where Mrs. Henry Ander
son is a patient at Piedmont
Hospital, and our brother, Bel
mont Dennis, has re-entered
Emory University Hospital.
Illness brings us tedious
hours and days, and sometimes
suffering; but, it also opens
doors to deeper understanding
and spiritual enrichment, for
our loved ones and ourselves.
The Great Physician’s minis
try, care and concern mani
fested through friends and theii
prayers in our behalf are like
veritable arms sustaining us,
when we need them most.
There’s a certain jingle in
the air, that sounds a lot like
sleigh bells; and the Broom
keeps hitting in high spots for
fear it will miss Santa’s arri
val—so, we’ll see you on the
square, time we finish the—
“SWEEPIN’ UP”
plying pressure end to end
rather than side to side.
To prevent molding, the pe
can kernels which were damp
ened before shelling must be
dried immediately after shell
ing. The pecan halves to be
stored should have a crunchy
feel and rattle when handled as
contrasted to being limp when
they are damp.

On October the twenty-third
our one year band brought a
historical event to the school.
On this day the band celebrat
ed its first anniversary. Dur
ing its one year existence the
fifty-five member band has
played in various parts of the
state receiving the acclaim of
hundreds of listeners where
ever it has played.
For the celebration the band
played in the regular chapel
program. Several old songs
were featured which were fa
vorites during the past year
along with new songs which
will be heard as the year pro
gresses.
The band is bolstered this
year by the addition of a tenor
saxophone, played by David
Norwood, a baritone horn,
played bv Raymond Ham
monds two other saxonhones,
played by Walter McMullins
and Robert Benton. These ad
ded instruments lend much
needed harmonv to the band.
The band will be featured
this year for the first time in
a Christmas Concert during
mid December. It is hoped that
this will be an annual event in
years to come.
In a landscaping scheme,
everything in the framework
of the design should seem to
belong and not compete with
the overall idea, says Extension
Landscape Specialist T. G. Wil
