Get New 300-Bed
Infirmary in Oct.
Governor Ernest Vandiver
announced Saturday that the
state will begin moving patients
; into the new 300-bed Infirm
i ary Building at Gracewood
State School and Hospital in
i October.
The building, which Gover-
I nor Candiver said will be put
into operation with a special
allocation of $300,000 he has
provided, will relieve desper
• ately overcrowded conditions at
; Gracewood.
“This structure is part of a
i sl6 million dollar mental
health building program for
j Gracewood and Milledgeville
| State Hospital, for which I
i broke ground last year,” the
Governor declared. „
The new infirmary building
is designed to give total care
for 300 Gracewood residents
i with chronic neurological dis
। eases of childhood. It contains
ten independent units, each
I providing beds for 30 residents.
Each unit contains a sleep
ing area, bath, playroom, oc
cupation a 1 therapy room,
nurse’s lounge, visting area
and isolation room. Governor
Vandiver explained.
The individual units will
function as specialized wards

If your refrigerator, freezer [
or air conditioner is to work a l l
full capacity, it must have free j
air flow.
Where the refrigerator or
freezer has coils on the back, I,
it’s necessary for it to h a v e ‘
several inches of air space
around it. Crowding the appli- ,
a nee or placing it in a tight spot ,
will cause it to sweat and run '
excessively. Six to eight inches i j
of space should also be left free >
above the refrigerator or freez- ,
er. Ij

have coils on the back can be ;

Peach Pickles ,
Peach pickle can add color I
and attractiveness to any meal.
They whet the appetite and (
make foods taste better. Too. ’
they are so easy to make!
Usually any firm, medium j ■
sized peach is excellent for pic- H
kle making. You may prefer a '
clingstone peach: however, a
freestone peach may be used. 1
Perhaps one of our most im- •
portant points to remember is *
to use a new recipe. Some of •
the old recipes were not pre- '
pared for the standard vine- 1
gar on the market today. The
vinegar must be of good qual- 1
ity. A 4 to 6 per cent acetic acid 1
vinegar is necessary. Distilled
vinegar gives a more uniform ■
product. You may prefer the 1
flavor of the apple cider vine- '
gar.
Use only fresh whole spices !
lied loosely in a cloth. Spices 1
should not be packed in the jar 1
with the pickles, as they end to I

ivora. If you can buy the oil of
spices, there is less darkening
of the product.
Granulated sugar is used in
pickle making. Soft water
gives the best results.
Aluminum, stainless steel,
glass or unchipped enamel pans
should be used
Select your favorite recipe—
either peach pickle or spiced
peaches. Be sure to have all in
gredients on hand before you
begin.
Use only firm, sound medium
sized peaches. Peel the peaches
and place in salt-vinegar water
to prevent discoloration.
Dissolve the sugar in t h e
water and vinegar. Add the
whole spices tied loosely in a
doth. Boil this sirup for three
minutes and skim. Place the
peaches in a colander and rinse
in cold water. Drain. Add
peaches to the boiling sirup and
cook until they can be pierced
with a fork. Remove the con
tainer from the heat. Allow the
peaches to cool in this sirup.
Pack the peaches in pre
heated jars leaving one - half
inch head space and cover with
boiling sirup. Remove air bub
bles. wipe mouth of jar with a
clean wet towel and adjust the j
lid.
We recommend pasteurizing
all pickles unless the product
and pickling solution is boiling
hot. To pasteurize, place the
sealed jars in the boiling water
bath canner and allow the wa
ter to simmer for 20 minutes.
All pickles should be stored
in a dark, dry, cool place and
used within 12 months.
Just remember pickling is an
art and the making of high
grade pickles involves n o r e
than the mere putting of the
product in a jar. Excellent pick
les may be made in the home
if quality ingredients are used,
a tested recipe is followed, pro
per equipment is used and pick
les are properly stored.
Rooting Shrub Cuttings
Horticulturist Gerald E.
Smith of our State Extension
Staff reminds gardeners that
the next two months will be a
good time to take cuttings from
ornamental plants to root.
Gerald points out that shrubs
which root easily are camellias,
azaleas, roses, boxwoods, Chin
ese and Japanese holly, pyra-
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The State!
; chantha. ligustrum, tea olive
and gardenia.
The cuttings should be four
Ito six inches long and should
be taken from this year’s grow
th. However, they should have
j matured in leaf size and color.
'Use growth from strong stems.
Tip growth is not necessary, the
horticulturist says. Strip the
leaves from the lower half of
cutting. You should dip the
base of the cutting in a root-
Jnducing harmone to stimulate
the early production of an ex
tensive root system.
A clean construction type
sand may be used as a propa
gating media for cuttings. You
can also use Perlite, vermicu
lite or a mixture of one-half
peat moss and sand gives excel
lent results, he says. Fertilizer
or soil should not be in the pro
pagating media. Firm the media
around the base of the cutting
and water thoroughly. It should
be kept moist at all times.
If you would like to have de
tailed instructions on the root
ing of cuttings, I’ll be glad to
obtain some printed material
for you.
This Week's Tip
You can remove fish odor
from the frying pan by washing
the pan thoroughly in hot soap
suds, rinse and dry. Then,
scald vinegar in it, rinse well,
and dry. A half cut of oatmeal
sprinkled in the pan, shook over
a flame until the meal begins
to scorch will also remove
, traces of fish, onions and other
foods. This is done after the
■ pan is washed.
