' Family Food Buying
By Dr. Mary Gibbs,
Consumer Marketing Special
ist University of Georgia Co
operative Extension Service.
Q. How many pounds of pe
cans in the shell will it take
to make one pound of nut
meats?
A. An average yield for pecans
is about one pound of nut
meats for every two pounds
of nuts. >
Q. Most recipes call for pecan
meats by the cup, yet I buy!
them by the ounce or pound.
How many cups can you ex
pect from one pound of nut
meats?
A. From one pound of pecan
halves you should get slight
ly over four cups. One pound
of chopped pecan meats yields
about three and three -
fourths cups of pecan kernels.
One cup of halves weighs
three and three-fourths oun
ces, while one cup of chopped
pecans weighs about four and
. one-fourth ounces,
Q. A friend from South Geor
gia has given me a big bag
of high quality pecans. I need
information on how to store
these nuts to keep them from
‘ becoming rancid as they will
last us several months.
A. Pecans have a relatively
high fat content and exposure
to air, heat and moisture tend
to cause fat to become ran-|
cid. As a general rule, the
lower the temperature, the|
longer the nuts will keep. |
For short storage periods,|
the shell itself provides good|
protection fér nut meats, Re-|
search at the Georgia Experi- ||
ment Station shows that pe
can meats will remain fresh|
for two months at ordinary |
room temperatures (70 de
grees F. - 80 F.); for over
nine months in the refrigera
tor (38 degrees F. - 40 degrees
F.), and for two years in the
freezer at zero degrees.
Under the same storage
conditions, unshelled pecans
will remain fresh from two
to four times longer t h a n
shelled ones. The larger the
pieces of nut meats, the long
er they will keep. Since pe
can pieces will stay fresh
from one-fourth to one-half|
as long as halves, use t h e
pieces first leaving the hal-|
ves for longer storage in the|
refrigerator or freezer. |
(Selected questions f r o m|
readers will be answered by Dr. |
Gibbs in this column. |

Disturbed Outward Behavior Is
‘The Sign of the Psychopath
[ . GEditor's Note: This is one
your health which will ap
pear regularly in The Cov
ington News as a public ser
vice feature)
By The Medicai
Association of Georgia
Most mentally and emotion
ally ill persons show somewhat
bizarre signs of illness. They
have obsessions, phobias, hal
lucinations and other glaring
symptons of unrealistic think
ing.
But one group of persons
whom more and more physi
cians class as emotionally ill
present no such telltale signs.
People in this special group
are called psychopaths and
their symptoms are extremely
varied. In general, however,
they are people whose social ad
justment is so poor that they
have no social or moral val
ues. Their typical traits a r e
lack of conscience, inability to
profit from past experience,
poor judgment, impulsiveness,
emotional -instability and ly
ing.
Psychopaths fiall into four
general categories. Probably
the most interesting type is
the charming, irresponsible
psychopath who, if he wants,
to, can gain the confidence and
devotion of others through good
manners and ease of rapport.
He may profess affection and
love, but he is really incapable
of strong and lasting emotional
attachment.
Despite his irresponsibility,
he usually attains some degree
of success in the business or
professional world. He isn’t
serupulous about how he at
tains this success. If he turns
to crime, he’s likely to be an
imposter, gambler or confidence
man. He tenas to take risks far
in excess of his actual or pos
sible gain. ‘
Another type of psychopath is
one who is defensive, hostile
and rebellious. He often tells
half truths and lies to justify
grievances. His attacks range
from verbal to physical abuse.
He’s likely to be known as a
trouble maker in his group.
This type of psychopath fre
quently becomes a juvenile de
linguent and, in adult life, a
eriminal. |
The third type is the inade-

GUILTY! — In the first case
of its kind, a jury agreed that a
man’'s fatal lung cancer was d“'i
to smoking two packs of cigar
ettes a day for 30 years, After
| deliberating nine hours, during
which time seven members of
the jury repeatedly sent out for
cigarettes, the jury held the cig
arette company was not to
blame.
BLOW YOUR TOP — Accord
ing to a study made by Chicago’s
Dr. Donald Oken, People who
suppress anger have higher
blood pressure than those who
express their rage vocally and
physicailly.
SOME COMBINATION! — If
you're taking a tranquilizer, and
you just have a drink, stay out
of the driver’s seat. Research
indicates that the tranquilizer in
creases the effect of the alcohol,
and the two together seriously
interfere with coordination and
judgment.
DOWN THE DRAIN — You're
throwing your money away if
vou buy vitamin pills without
doctor’s orders. So says the
American Medical Association.
The average person doesn’t need
extra vitamins, but gets hig re
quirements in his food. Qver
dosage with Vitamins A and D
can lead to real trouble. It will
cost you less to go to your doctor
it you don’'t feel right than to
buy a couple of months’ supply
of vitamins.

IPERSONALS]
Larry Laster of Auburn Uni
versity, Auburn, Alabama ar
| rived on Thursday, December
| 14, for a holidav visit with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Tom
Laster, -
|quate, passive and dependent
person. He leads a parasitic ex
istence, making it necessary
for others to take care of him.
He’s often a hyprochondriac or
alcoholic. His theme song is
“the world owes me a living.”
i The fourth type repeatedly
{eommits antisocial acts against
|eustoms and laws. They may
|be sexual deviants, arsonists,
(thieves and occasionally mur
|derers. As such, they appar
.‘ently experience little .or no
{guilt or remorse after t h e
| commission of such acts. |
| Physicians don’t know why|
|| psychopaths develop. Many be
|lieve, however, that theirl
| twisted behavior is somehow
|| the result of an environment
|full of stress and lacking in a
| mature, steadying love an d
. |understanding, Usually their
'lodd behavior and character
listic lack of conscience are
| apparent in their childhoods.
)| The traits that make them
,| social cripples in later years
,|beoin developing early in
| their lives and become ingrain
ed in their personalities.
| Unfortunately, psychiatry
ican do little, if anything, to
3| help the psychopath. Further
' more, the psychopath himself
,|doesn’t want help. If he does
| | happen to submit to treatment,
| |he usually responds with lip
.{service only. He continues on
|| his psychopathic way. Commit
-1 ting 'him to a mental institu
| tion helps protect those outside
the institution from him but
|not those within. When he gets
,in trouble with the law and is
.|convicted of a crime, he goes
|to prison. Studies have shown
|that prison, like the hospital,
|does little to help him change
‘his ways. l
| Doe MAG Says: |
'| Neither medicine nor so-]
|ciety has solved the problem
of the psychopath. The onlyi
{hope of solution appears to be
|more study into the reasons for{
| his behavior with the hope that
| preventative and curative mea
|sures will be found. In the
|meantime, an awareness of
|what he’s like may help you
| recognize him when he appears
|on the scene. Seeing him for
|what he is should help you
|avoid serious trouble.

The Homes of Milledgeville
BY: Glenn McCullough
The temperature had dropped
rather rapidly and an aggra
|vating rain fell continuously
,and nobody in the group felt
iexactly chipper. But as they
| trekked, uncomfortably, from
'ihome to home you could hear
no complaints — only excited
|comments on the lovely o1 d
Ihouses, so much a part of the
| history of Milledgeville.
| That’s how impressive they
lare, these stately mansions,
'|flanked by magnolia and mag
'|nificent gardens. And it takes
'|something impressive to cause
|a group of uncomfortable news
.| paper people to ohhh and &hhh!l
| Milledgeville has a ricn
L history of particular interest to
| Georgians in this Civil W a r
Centennial year. For it was here
-|that the old state capitol is 10-|
y| cated, where 100 years ago the‘;
.|Legislature voted to secede|
{lfrom the Union — after a|
| stormy session. |
| But it is the homes of the|
| city which tell a story of gra-’
|cious living of the Old South. |
| Like the Cline home, with|
|its hand - carved lonic columns|
.|which are original parts of this
| distinguished house. The house
|is surrounded by a lace wall
|of handmade brick and an Old!
| Savannah style lamp post lights
Jthe front walk. |
And there’s the Orme house
|to which Capt. Henry Ward
Beecher was dispatched by the
Union army to protect because
{Mrs. Orme was a kinsman of
some rather prominent Yan
-’kees, amongst them descendantse
|of the Presidents Adams. This
‘house today is occupied by Mrs.
IJ. O. Sallee, granddaughter of
|the first occupants. It is re
|garded as a monument tot h e
|artistry of its designer, Daniel
?.Pratt. The portico and pedi
||{ment are in precise balance and
| the fanlighted doorway a n d
‘| trellised balcony are particu
| larly impressive. The two mas
sive Doric columns were made
from matching pines, selected
personally by the owner.
Then, there’s the classic ex
ample of transitional style be
tween Georgian and Greek Re
vival which is the Williams,
now generally called the Fer
guson house. Here are un
doubtedly some of the m o s t
beautiful boxwood in the coun
try, estimated to be about 150
years old. Also on the grounds
are wisteria and cedar of about
