First Grade
Mrs. Collier's Class
We have 31 pupils on roll
this month. Several have mo
ved away and Mike Mason has
moved here from Fulton Co
unty. During the cold, rainy
weather we enjoyed our indoor
games. Among them were the
checkers, tic-tac-toe and ring
toss.
Most of us are reading in,
“Day In and Day Out”, and will
be ready for “Round About”
soon. This is our last basic rea
der and it will take longer, es
pecially with the thick word
book that goes wih it. The next
three months will be busy ones
for us.
Eighth Grade
Miss Mask’s Room
Good Sportsmanship is Im
portant by Sheila Bates.
In recent weeks, the good
name of the junior high schools
has been subject to criticism
due to the enthusiasm of loyal
fans who sometimes forget good
sportsmanship in rooting their
teams on to victory.
It helps everyone to exhibit
good sportsmanship at the
school games. Here are five
practices that should be put
into use by all who attend the
games:
1. Help the team by treating
others as you would like to be
treated.
2. Please yell with the cheer
leaders.
3. Please do not boo the off
icials when they make a call
against your team, even if you
think it is unfair.
4. Please be quiet when a
member of the opposite team is
at the foul line to attempt a
foul shot.

5. Please do not use ugly
language to the officials or to
representatives of the other
teams (or to anyone!)
Just remember that everyone
likes to win but good sports
manship is more important
than winning.
As the schools are in the
midst of tournaments, the Pal
mer-Stone Junior High feels
that it is very important for the
entire student body to remem
ber good sportsmanship, and
set an example of kindness and
courtesy.

it will be available to boys and
girls for many years.

Extension Agent’s Column
By Mrs, Sara Groves, HD Agent
National 4-H Week
National 4-H Club Week will
be observed here in Newton
County during the week of
March 2-9. Boys and girls of
our County clubs have made
big plans to call attention to
the importance of the 4-H Club
in our community.
Governor Sanders, in his Ex
ecutive Proclamation of 4-H
Week, urged all Georgians to
support and encourage the work
of this youth organization. I
hope all Newton Countians
will take part in the observance
in some way.
Newton County has 387
members of the 4-H Club. They
are among 143,207 members in
the state of Georgia. National
enrollment in the Club reaches
2,285,600 boys and girls.
Members of the 4-H Clubs
come from all areas. On a nat
ional scale, 51 percent of the
members come from farm
homes, 29 percent from rural
nonfarm homes and 20 percent
from urban homes. In Newton
County, the breakdown is 20%
percent from farm homes, 30%
percent from rural nonfarm
homes and 50% percent from
urban homes. There are pro
jects to meet the interests of
any boy or girl wherever they
may live.
The purpose of the 4-H Club
is to give equal training to the
Head, Heart, Hands and Health.
This is the origin of the four
H’s. The training is conducted
with the help of local volunteer
adult leaders who devote much
of their time to this youth work.
Without them, the program
would not function properly.
If you live next door to a 4-H
boy or girl or know one any
where, may I urge you to give
them words of encouragement
so they will strive harder than
ever to carry out their motto,
“To Make the Best Better.”
Poultry Cooking Contest
Have you noticed anything
extra in your carton of eggs
lately?
Entry blanks for Georgia’s
Poultry Products Cooking
Queen Contest have been en
closed in about 300,000 cartons
of Georgia produced eggs. The
cartons have been distributed
over the entire state. There's a
good chance you may have pur
chased a carton with one of the
entry blanks.
Regardless of the way you
get an entry blank, I hope you
will consider entering the Poul
try Products Cooking Contest.
The deadline is March 1. If you
didn’t get an entry form in
your carton of eggs and would
like to enter, I’ll be glad to
provide the blank.
Blue-Ribbon Meal Plan
Meal planning is both a
science and an art, as any be
ginning homemaker soon finds
out. It’s an important job and
some serious thinking should
be done about it.
The meals the homemaker
will serve her family depend
upon three very important
things. First, she must satisfy
each family member’s likes and
dislikes. Second, she may be
limited by the amount of money
available to spend on food.
Third, the kitchen equipment
in the home will be an import
ant factor.
In any case, the homemaker
Howard Bradford of Walnut
Grove visited Mr. and Mrs. Ed
win Moss, sunday.

who wants to do a “blue-rib

Changing Diets
Americans have changed
their diets considerably within
the past ten years, economists
have found.
Since 1950, for example, the
average American has been
heaping nearly half again as
much chicken and turkey on
his plate. A little more red
meat has been added also, es
pecially beef.
To make room for the extra
helpings, he is eating 16 per
cent fewer eggs and 14 percent
less dairy products. He is also
eating less cereals and bakery
goods each year.
The trend is going back to
the potato it seems. This has
probably happened because of
the many quick and easy-to
prepare potato products now
on the market. This is a trend
in itself.
About the only foods Ameri
cans are consuming at the same
rate today as in 1950 are fruits
and vegetables. Even here,
there has been a shift to less
fresh fruit and more processed
items.
Much of the change in
American diets has been attri
buted to rising incomes. With
the larger paycheck, the con
sumer buys more of some foods
and less of others. But, there
is one thing for sure—they al
ways end up eating about the
same amount as before.
This Week’s Tip
A pound of bacon yields
about one third of its purchased
weight as cooked servings of
the meat. The bacon fat is not
lost, however. Use it to good
advantage. Bacon fat can be
used for flavoring other foods
as well as for frying. Fried
apple pies, for example, are
delicious when cooked in this
fat. Try it.
One of the best ways to con
tral leaf diseases of greenhouse
tomatoes, say horticulturists of
the Extension Service, is to
control the humidity in the
greenhouse.

Aids Processors
Os Poultry Meat
Poultry processors can save
time and money by sizing broil
er carcasses to be sold in cut
up form, accordfing to Mr.
Roger E. Walters, agricultural
engineer wit/h the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture at the
College Experiment Station in
Athens.
In a recent experiment in
which a large number of broil
er carcasses were cut up and
the parts weighed and measur
ed. Mr. Walters found that the
weight, volume and dimensions
of broilers parts can be pre
dicted if the carcass weight is
known.
Thus, Mr. Walters explained,
sizing of carcasses can be used
as a method of providing uni
form parts for portion control
packages, and the convenient
selection of part combinations
for exact weight packages. By
adopting this practice, poul
try processors can reduce pack
ing time and losses due to
overweight packages, he said.
Mr. Walters pointed out that
the relationship between the
weight of a broiler carcass and
the weight, volume and dimen
sions of its component parts
becomes more important as
larger quantities of poultry
meat are sold in the cut up
form. Accurate information
regarding this relationship is
necessary for efficient cut-up
and packaging operations and
for the development of new
and improved cut-up methods
and equipment.
Death Is So Permanent!
In view of the above fact, we have resolved to lose none of our
customers, if we can prevent it —
