Three Girls Bake Their Way
To Georgia 4-H Honors in 1962

Three Georgia teen-agers
baked their way in 1962 to
prominence as young home
makers and to top awards as
4-H ere because they were able
to demonstrate to others how to
make bread.
One of them was Ann Blocker,
18, now a home economics stu
dent at the University of
Georgia. She won an expense
paid trip to the National 4-H
Club Congress in Chicago, con
sidered the top 4-H event of the
year.
The others, winners of SSO U.S.
savings bonds, are Mary Toole,
18, of Augusta, and Josephine
Whitten, 17, of Macon.
The bread demonstration pro
gram, sponsored by Standard
Brands Incorporated, teaches
skills involved in making baked
goods and the processing and
ping Shoals E.M.C. Building.
All members are urged to at
tend.
A very interesting program
on ‘‘Sitting Pretty” was pre
sented by Mrs. Groves. Through
the use of posters and dem
onstrations, she brought out
the correct and incorrect way
of sitting and standing that not
only improves our general ap
pearance, but also ouir health.
Mrs. Max Williams and Mrs.
Charles Morris served delici
ous refreshments and led in
entertaining games and con
tests. The club members were
reminded that the next club
meeting will be held at the
home of Mrs. Herbert Daven
port, at which time we will
have a White Elephant Sale.
FOREST PLANTINGS
A recent survey of Georgia’s
forest land showed there are
almost 1,500,000 acres of idile
and poorly stocked forest land
in need of planting. Extension
Service Forester C. Dorsey
Dyer points out that this land
is not in a position to reseed
naturally. Such land, he adds,
should be put in production.
distribution methods involved
in converting wheat and other
grains into baked items.
Miss Blocker won the state
4-H competition with yeast rolls.
She is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Monroe Blocker, operators
of a 500-acre farm near Glenn
ville. She also won a $l5O schol-
arship in 1962
as the oustand
ing 4-H Club
member in TatU
nail County.
Muffins, bis
cuits and cinna
mon rolls were
Miss Whitten's
prize entries in
district and Mi „ Too k
state competi-
tion that led to her award. She
is a seven-year 4-H’er and a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Whitten.
Miss Toole, now a student at
Augusta College, advanced to
state competition in 1960 and
again in 1962 with yeast bread.
During her eight years as a 4-H
Club member she also has com
pleted other homemaking proj
ects. They included canning
more than 1,500 quarts of fruits

West Newton HD
Club Learns
About 'Posture'
The ankle bone connects to
the leg bone, the leg bone con
nects to the knee bone and so
on and on—but how about your
sitting bones? You DO have
such things, as the West New
ton County Home Demonstra
tion Club learned when they
met Thursday, Feb. 28 at Pros
' pect Methodist Church.
Mrs. Sara Groves, county
agent, presented an unusual,
amusing and informative pro
gram titled “Sitting Pretty”.
As she explained how to best
use ones body to avoid fatigue
; and the various ills brought
about by poor posture, most of
the twelve members present
became uncomfortably aware
of how poorly they were sit
ting.
We were told about our “sit
ting bones” and how to roll
forward on said bones instead
of reaching from the should
er or waist—'thus eliminating
much of the muscle strain
whiah causes us to tire easily
and quickly.
On this final day of Febru
ary, on the thershold of spring,
it seemed good to think of self
improvement and leaving all
those old lazy posture habits in
the past with the bitter cold
winter which we hope is past.
President Ethel Jolley call
ed the meeting to order. New
yearbooks were distributed,
marking the beginning of a
new fiscal year. The years cal
lendar was gone over. Hostess
es were named for the coming
year. As we saw our year thus
laid out before us, we felt the
need to get busy or we would
never get through in time to
do our Christmas shopping.
