(Our Advertisers Apr Assured Os Reaulta)
I you know our Covington Mer-
I chants realize this. Therefore
• they carry the merchandise in
I keeping with our community,
and m dealing with them you
l not only got the best merchan
dise, but you would pay more
1 elsewhere for the same articles,
i So let’s start a real “Trade at
1 Home Session." Nothing is bet
ter when you travel to Macon,
i Savannah, or Atlanta ... it
. just came from the “big City",
where taxes are high, rent is
high, and they have to charge
more for the very same thing
you buy at home ... to say
nothing of the money you spent '
। on your car, gas. and food for ;
, your family while there.
You know there is another i
। side to this question also. |
, Every dollar spent in Coving- ;
: ton STAYS in Covington! If j
j you subscribe to The Coving- !
' ton News, or advertisfe in it . . .
that money goes into the pock
ets of the employees of the
News . . . and it keeps travel
ing around Covington. Where
does it go . . . well let’s just
start out and follow it . . it
goes for food, then it goes from
there to the barbershop or
beauty parlor or Department
Store ... it goes from there
to pay our local doctors . .
from there to the dentist, the
shoeshop. the farmer, the auto
dealers, the gardener, the maid,
the milk man . . the picture
show . . . well we could go on
forever naming every place in
town . . . but finally some-
body comes in and brings it
i back to YOU to pay your bills
with. Yes. a dollar spent in
your home town stays here.
i So watch carefully your Sum
mer Specials at all the stores in
> town in the COVINGTON
NEWS . . . and spend your
money at home. Tooth paste
tastes no better out of Atlanta
than it does from your local
drug stores for its made by the
same people ... so “brush up"
on your reading of the ads of
the Covington Merchants in the
NEWS, realizing that every
dollar spent here in town will
eventually come back into your
pocket in some way.
Covington is one city that
overshadows many towns much ,
larger, in that we have the
best in every sort of merchan
dise . . Why? Because our mer
chants cater to the wonderful
type of people we have in Cov
ington. Yes, Covington is grow
ing by leaps ana bounds be-:
cause we have learned to keep
our money at home, to help
build a better city. Every per
son here is justly proud of our
town, and it’s growth . . . we '
are proud of the many people
who come here . . . they seek
to find the type place they
would like to live . . . One man
said, “We first looked at the
schools and were greatly im
pressed . . . the Churches . . . ‘
the homes . . . and we always ■
look at the sort of Newspaper |
a town produces. That wasl
enough because a newspaper
usually reflects the progress of
a town.” Yes, they moved here
and love it.
There is just one thing I wish I
we could instill in our people
. . . not to throw cans, bottles,
ice cream cups and candy
wrappers on the street. We live
on Emory Street side where
people buy candy, Ice Cream
etc . . they stop on our wall to
eat it and there goes the trash 1
. On the Usher street side'
they come by the stores and
stop bn our wall. Three times
each week is too often to have
to clean a whole block or three
sides rtf it ... If parents,
schools and Churches would
teach their children to help
keep our city beautiful ... I
believe our youth would do it
. . . And the grown ups also . . .
Come on in and pay your
subscription! Thats something
I never said before . . but you
know I said spend money here
and it will come back to you
. . well I'm desperately in need
of a NEW BROOM to do my
daily round of jest ....

mills were in full operation at
that time. The church stands
on its original one acre site,
purchased for the sum of $lO
in 1878, from Augustas L. ;
Gaithers.
Like many rural churches
following Sherman's devastat
ing March to the Se-a, it suffer
ed great membership losses, as
residents were forced to seek
livelihoods elsewhere. Gaither's
suffered the usual ensuing
struggle to exist with a mini
mum membership. In recent
years it has enjoyed a program
of re-vitalization, under the
capable leadership of the pres
ent pastor, Rev. Bob Blasin
game. The Sunday School was
re-activated after ten years;
the sanctuary renovated, and
membership increased.
Among improvements of the
past year have been the addi
tion of three Sunday School
rooms, and a beautiful chancel
rail; refinishing of the pulpit,
re-casing of doors, extension of
picnic tables, and other repairs.
Among those giving of their
time and efforts have been, J.
W. Johnston, carpenter, who
charged only expenses in di
recting construction of the
rooms, the sheetrock installa
tion of which was done gratis
by Jack Banks of Mansfield;
Luke Nichols, who re-finished
the pulpit and constructed the
chancel rail, material for which
was furnished by Ralph Mc-
Donald: and other member*
who from time to time aided in
renovation and construction.
Although Gaither’s may not
enjoy the large membership of
former years; the loyalty and
zeal of its members have not
diminished, and it is one of the
Bible Belt's strongholds of
Faith.

Q. What varieties of Georgia
peaches are available in July?
A. Georgia peaches grown
commercially which ripen in
late June or early July are the
Sullivan Elberta, Redskin and
Elberta. In late July or early
August look for the Rio Osa
Gem. These are all freestone
peaches.
Q. Recently, I heard that
watermelons were high in nu
trients and low in calories. Is
this correct?
A. Watermelons, as well as
cantaloupes, are rich in vita
min C. These melons are also
good sources of vitamin A. A
quarter slice of an average
size cantaloupe provides al
most 40 percent of the vitamin
C and about one-half of the
vitamin A needed daily. A

two-pound piece of water mel
on provides about one-third of
the vitamin C and one-half the
vitamin A needed daily. A
serving or a quarter of an aver

18 calories; a serving of water

only 45 calories.
Q. Do you have suggestions
for a new homemaker (June
Bride) who has difficulty in
selecting and buying food?
A. There are several things
which may help you to stay
within that food budget. First,
plan ahead. List the items you
need considering the quantity,
quality, need and use to be
made of the item. Look over
the week-end food ads and
handbills and compare prices
of items listed. Secondly, in
the market, use this list as a
guide but keep it flexible. A
flexible list will let you take
advantage of good buys of
which you were not aware. Or
change to another item when
the quality of a product is not
as desired. Third, learn the
characteristics of quality for
all items, especially fresh
fruits, vegetables and meats.

Q. What are three top USDA
Grades for beef?
A. The top USDA beef grades
are U. S. Prime, U. S. Choice
and U. S. Good. The general
characteristics of each grade
are as follows:
USDA Price Beef with this
lable comes from young, well
fed beef-type cattle. The gen
erous amounts of fat that run
in steaks through the lean make
this meat tender, juicy and
flavorsome. About 30 percent,
of all beef from steers and
heifers make this grade. Steaks
and roasts are tender and
adapted to cooking with dry
heat.
USDA Choice—This grade
of beef has less fat than prime
beef and is more economical.
More beef of this grade is pro
duced than of any other grade
-usually around 50 percent of
al) beef that comes from steers.
USDA Good—As the name
implies, this grade of beef
pleases many families. “Good”
beef is less juicy than “Choice”
or “Prime” but it may be pre
ferred by beef-eaters who like
their meat lean.
Q. When applied to food, is
there a difference in the terms
“graded” and “inspected?”
A. Yes. there is a difference
and one that is quite important
to good shoppers. In general,
USDA and other inspection is
done to guarantee health and
safety. The inspection mark
signifies that the product is
sanitary and free from disease
and thus fit for human con
sumption. Grading, on the oth
er hand, is the sorting of pro
ducts into uniform groups ac
cording to any one or combi
nation of several quality stand
ards such as size, color, shape,
texture and content. Grading
is an attempt to provide you
with a guide to eating satisfac-

non.
Q. Recently, I’ve read and
heard many statements con
cerning the need for an effi
cient marketing system for ag
ricultural products and that
marketing costs may increase
the price of a farm product
while the farmer may receive
the same or even less for it.
What are the actual steps or
activities covered by the mar
keting process?
A. The steps or functions us
ually considered a part of the
complex marketing system are
(1) selling, (2) transportation,
(3) standards and grading, (4)
financing, (5) market informa
tion, (6) storage, (7) risk-tak
ing, (8) processing and pack
aging, and (9) buying. Funda
mentally, these nine market
ing activities do two things.
They move products from pro
ducers to consumers and re
turn money through market
ing to producers.

Q. This summer in the gro
cery stores where I trade, fresh
corn has been packaged in
transparent bags. Does this bag
protect, the corn as well as the
corn shuck preserved it?
A. Research findings from
the University of Wisconsin re
vealed that transparent bags
preserve the moisture in each
kernel of corn better than the
corn shuck.
Q. What are signs of quality
for corn sold unshucked and
shucked?
A. When you choose corn
sold in the shuck select ears
that have bright-green shucks
and dark-brown silks at the
end of each ear. This color
corn silk indicates that the
kernels are well-filled. High
quality shucked corn should
have even rows with well-fill
ed kernels. This gives a great
er yield from each ear. A sign

of tenderness is a flow of milk
from the corn kernel when it
is pressed with the thumb.
Q Last week I saw ears of
sweet corn in the shuck dis
played on a bed of crushed ice.
Why? Is corn that perishable’
A. Yes, strange as it may
seem. That heavy natural cov
ering of shucks does not pre
vent corn from losing flavor if
held without ice or refrigera
tion. At summer temperatures,
sweet corn may lose one-half
of its sugar in 24 hours. This
loss is slower at lower tempera
tures. Research findings show
ed that sweet corn on crushed
ice in retail stores throughout
the day had 43 percent more
total sugar than similar ears on
non-refrigerated counters.

PANELING AIDS
According to the Southern
Pine Association, two impor
tant modern aids to the per
formance of wood paneling are
“penetrating sealers" and stain
type finishes.
Sealers protect paneling from
moisture absorption and help
render it a permanent materi
al. Stain finishes provide ap
plied colors that look just as
natural as the wood’s own hue.
They do not obscure the grain.
