SUMMER C LOTHES
FORMULA
When collecting clothes for
those hot mid-summer days,
remember two words—simpli
city and practicality.
The freshest, most fashion
able looks are made of simple
clothes that stand the humid
ity well.
Some ideas to investigate
might be a bare-armed suit of
crisp cotton, or a simple shift
of linen that has city ways. I
Try your favorite over blouse
with a bias-cut top made of
linen or silk. For a cool, crisp I
look try a tailored organza suit.
Don't forget how useful a
jacket is when you are in and
out of air conditioning.
Here s How to
Live to Ripe Old
Age and Healthy
BY DR. I. S. INGRAM
AS I READ:
The famous heart specialist.
Dr. White, gives his recipe for
living to a ripe old age. He
seems to be qualified as he is
more than 75 years of age. The
article carries his picture bicyc
ling in Florida dressed in
shorts, capped with a beret and
doing very well.
Dr. White lists as his number
one rule for growing old that
one select ancestors who are
long-lived. As I have observed
this, it is essential. I did not do
this. 1 wished that 1 had. A fri
end of mine not too far from
me is 92 years old. His fore
bears lived long.
Dr. White’s second rule is
to avoid accidents. This is diffi
cult. Almost fifty thousand
people per year are killed in
travel accidents. In a great
percentage of these deaths, the .
i victims were innocent of wrong
doing.
Dr. White listed as his third I
rule in order for one to live
old that one avoid cancer. One
has no choice here.
All of us could do something
about the fourth rule: Walk '
more and eat less. Like most [
of you, 1 hate to walk. Yet I
try to walk about ten miles
per week. I have pedometers
that I use occasionally to check
myself. I know two people in
my city who faithfully walk. '
They are younger men who
faithfully work at walking.
As to eating. I omit breakfast,
but I seem to start eating at I
noon and continue until mid- I
night. I am like a friend now ।
dead. He said about his food
that he bit everything that did
not bite him first.
Not to be bored with myself, f
I like for someone to eat withx
me at least once per day.
The fact is if people could
not talk of dieting most people
would have no conversation
This Atlanta restauranteur and
politician staled in his adver
tisement that he appreciated
people eating with him; more
especially did he like people
on diets for they seem to enjoy
their food.
Dr. White recommends regu- ;
lar exercise. No comment from
me.
The sixth rule for living to |
be old is never to retire. Thi I
is all right for lawyers or phy
sicians. Provided they keep
abreat with their professions, i
they get better with age. Per- ■
sonally I like two physicians, a
young one and an old one
But business, educational in
stitutions, and industries (one
people to retire. I like this io
many vocations and professions.
But I agree with Dr. White:
one should have something to
do every day. Were 1 not to be !
able to work some each day, I
could not live. 1 am glad 1 was
retired as college president, j
Such a place should properly I
be held by a younger man
S' me of my tasks each day
are to be a good ex-president
The president of West Georgia
was a member of my first offi
cial family. He is able and de
dicated. Yet I find much to keep
me busy and I am happy. One
retired has to look for new
things to do. Dr. White is right
Keep busy.
Dr. White closes with the
adminition to “knock on wood ’.
I think he means one must have
luck.
Certainly, it is good to have
a wholesome outlook. Dr. White
has this. I believe that 1 do, I

MEAT THERMOMETER
Meat cookery time tables in
dicate the time required for
roasting meats but a meat ther
mometer is the most accurate
guide for determining doneness.
If you want to eliminate any
uncertainties regarding thaw
ing, degree of doneness and tim
ing, use a meat thermometer.
The thermometer registers the
degree of internal temperature.
The desired donenesss or inter
nal temperature for rare meat
would be 140 degrees. For med
ium doneness, it would be 160
degrees and 175-to-180 degrees
for well done.
Insert the bulb of the meat
thermometer into the center of
the largest muscle. Check to
see that the bulb doesn’t rest
in fat or on bone.
THE CARROT
A carrot a day is the color
i ful, nutritious way to get Vit
i amin A.
The oarrot has a history dat
ing back to ancient times, hav
ing first gained prominence as
food because of its supposed
medicinal value. Ancient Greek
physicians spoke of carrots dur
ing the first century as a valu
able stomach tonic.
History shows that the carrot
was cultivated in the Mediter
ranean area before the Christ
ian era, reaching the orchards
and gardens of Germany and
France by the 13th century. It
appeared in England by 1601 as
a farm crop as well as in gar
; dens.
Seventeenth and eighteenth
century French considered car
rots a Lenten dish par excell
। ence because their color gave
an illusion of forbidden meat.
The carrot was brought to
American shores soon after dis
i covery of the New World. It
was grown by the colonists at
Jamestown, Virginia, picked up
by the Indians, and appeared
later in Massachusetts.
History reveals some inter
■ esting facts about this food but
I the best fact of all is its cont
■ ribution to body nutrition.
COVERING SHOES WITH
FABRIC
If you would like to try your
skill at covering shoes with
fabric, I’ll be glad to provide
fudep by step information on the :
pjocess.
Miss Ava Rodgers, Home
Furnishings and Art Specialist
with the Georgia Cooperative
Extension Service, has prepar
ed this detailed information.
In addition to the shoes and
fabric, you will need grosgrain
ribbon, thread, rubber cement,
scissors and a shoe tree. Her
information makes the rest of
। the operation very simple.
Let me know if you would
like to have this information.
THIS WEEK'S TIP
If you do a lot of sewing,
theie are some tools you may
want to add to the sewing box
to make the job a little easier.
A metal hem gauge, for ex
ample, has a movable maiker
to point to the different mea
surements. A six-inch plastic
। ruler can be a helpful tool to
accompany the hem gauge.
The Ficnch curve can be
i helpful in cutting patterns. This
। curve helps you when you need
to redraw the curve of an arm
) hole or change the hipline.
Buttonhole scissors, a seam
lipper and a chalk pencil can
be added to the list.

Stewardship Day
In Georgia
“Wonder what the preacher
will preach about today?"
May 19 is one Sunday you
can be reasonably sure of the
answer to that question in ad
vance. Chances are good that I
his subject will be Soil Ste- j
wardship.
That will be the beginning
of Soil Stewardship Week.
1963, and during the nine-year
history of the special obser
vance a vast majority of Gem - ।
gia’s ministers have taken ad
vantage of the occasion to re
mind their “flocks” that “The
earth is the Lord’s.”
Alrhough the preacher can
not be a technical conserva- i
tionist, he can “spread imfor- |
mation about the program, >
said Dr. G. Ross Freeman of
Emory University. Dr Free
man is state chaplain, Georgia
Association of Conservation
District Supervisors.
In addition to the special
sermon, many ministers willi
find other ways to emiphasiz
the spiritual significance of (
soil, seed and sower
Some churches, Dr Free
man said, will beautify the|
church grounds during the ।
week in an effort to make the’
church “a place of beauty" in ;
the community.
Also, congregations all over
the state are offering the use ,
of church facilities for soil
conservation meetings.

How Deep to
Place Fertilizer?
Does deep placement of lime
and fertilizer produce better
yields of Coastal Bermuda
grass and alfalfa than conven
tional application methods?
Preliminary results of a two
vear test at the University of
Georgia’s College Experiment I
Station indicate the answer is ,
no.
। In tests conducted by Dr.
Joel Giddens, Dr. H. F. Perkins,
Dr. E. R. Beaty and Dr H D
Morris, 3 tons of lime and 1200
pounds of 4-12-12 per acre
were applied. The lime and
fertilizer were put down at the
following depths: (1) broad-j
i cast on the surface, (2) mixed
with the soil to a depth of 6
inches, and (3) mixed with the
I soil to a depth of 18 inches |
There was no significant dis- 1
ference in yield on either t< I .
plot, stated Extension Agnmo- |
mist P J Berfeaux in report
ing the results to county agent-
It was noted that the 18-inch
deep placement resulted in the
lowest yields for both Coastal '
i Bermuda and Alfalfa.
Mechanization is a Wiajoi
reason why one farmer todav
produces as much as four tai
' rners did 111 1910.
