door, he told her I was in the
Dining Hall, so Leo stayed with
him. She was the only person on
the elevator. It stopped on the
next floor and in stepped Mr.
Baruch. They had met, but he
looked at her and said: "Young
lady, I thought it over last night
after retiring, and I believe you
won that argument last night! I
was wrong!" She smiled and told
him she believed he was in error
again, that he must have been
talking about Mrs. Dennis.
"Well," he said, "if you are not
Mrs. Dennis you will have to show
her to me!” So, sitting alone at
the table waiting for my family I
looked up to see the sister come
trotting in, hand in hand with Mr.
Baruch. He was amazed!. . .
Just as puzzled as most of you
when you call her, Mrs. D., and
me, Mrs. M.
Mr. Baruch was a person who
loved his native State of South
Carolina and always returned to
his home there for his summer
vacations. We have had several
letters from him there, while on
vacation. He loved the Confeder
acy. He purchased thousands of
Stone Mountain Coins when they
were first minted, to help with the
carving on the mountain. He
stored them in a Manhattan Bank.
When it was our pleasure, as
President General of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, to
break ground for the Memorial
Building to the memory of the
Women of the Confederacy, Mr.
Baruch keeping up with what was
going on, and having told me he
was going to buy one of the SIOOO
pages in our book of memory, in
memory of his U.D.C. Mother,
wrote that he decided not to do
this. He, instead, was going to
send me some coins to sell in her
memory, and apply the proceeds
to our building. So, on day out of a
clear sky, Mr. Rogers, our ex
press man, rang my door bell.
When I opened it. there he stood
NOTICE!
All citizens owning dogs are advised to
have their dogs inoculated for rabies. A
concerted effort will be made to catch all
dogs that have not been inoculated this

We invite the cooperation of all our

protecting its citizens against rabies.

They were sealed! "What in the
world is this”, 1 asked.
"MONEY", he replied, "and
there is so much of it that the
express is $82.00 but the sender
paid the express.” There were
9000 of these coins! I told him to
wait a moment. I called the only
bank here, at the time, and they
said they would place them in
their vault for me. Off we went
with them, and 30 minutes after
I returned home a man arrived at
my door offering me $10,000.00
for the coins. I refused this for
they had cost in the beginning
$9000.00. "We had to think!”
Then the telephone, within a few
days started buzzing. . .people
from Atlanta and elsewhere want
ing great numbers of them, some
as many as 200. We are English,
you know. . .and so we had to
think! Mr. Mills Lane, of the C.
and S. Bank in Atlanta called,
and he just had to have at least
25 of these coins in a deal with
owners of Stone Mountain, to buy
it. "NO SIR, Mills, I can’t break
the seals on these bags and dole
them out and keep up with them in
this manner, from the bank. How
about you taking them and selling
them from your bank!” He said
he’d call me back. In less than
an hour he called and said "Bring
them right up. . .we will mount
them in cellophane on a card with
the Confederate Flag in color, and
state on the card that they are
from the Coin Collection of Mr.
Bernard Baruch. Well, I toldhlm
I would not drive up there with
this much money, so he said he
would send an armoured car for
them. He did. . .we found them
selling for $3.50 at Rich’s Coin
Dept., when they could get them.
We sold them for that until prices
soared until they are selling for
$8.50 now. . .(and we are lucky
to get them for our children at
that!) They are from the Baruch
collection BUT they have another

Branch of the Citizens Southern
Bank, Atlanta. Somebody within
the U.D.C. wanting to raise money
quickly, or sell them forahigher
price tried to put over a motion to
sell them for SI.OO each. We
whipped that on the convention
floor for we had Mr. Mills Lane
in the beginning, make a contract
as agent for the U.D.C. to handle
these coins to best advantage for
the U.D.C. Mr. Baruch heard of
this motion and wrote he would
buy them back for that. We as
sured him they were now selling
for $8.50 right on.
Yes, we moan the passing of
this great man! Wish that we had
more unselfish and brilliant men
like him. He will ever live within

of all walks of life.

Call For Broilers
Planning a 4th of July family
get together?
Southeastern meal planners
looking for tasty main course
fare will find broiler-fryers a
wise choice for serving at back
yard cookouts, picnics, and other
family meals.
Broilers are in good supply
now, and with production expect
ed to increase about 5 percent
during the summer, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Con
sumer and Marketing Service has
the following suggestions for buy
ing broiler-fryers and using them
in family menus:
To be assured of getting top
quality birds, it’s wise to look for
the official USDA Grade A shield
on the label. This shows that the
broiler has met the highest USDA
quality standards. And, as a
guide to wholesomeness, look for
the official USDA inspection
mark. The inspection shield is
the consumer’s assurance that
the bird has been examined for
wholesomeness under close sup
ervision by a Consumer and Mar
keting Service inspector.
Broilers should always be ser
ved at their best--so be sure to
give them careful attention in
the kitchen. USD research has
shown that cooked broiler-fryers
are best when served either very
hot or very cold. Leaving chick-
Georgians Point To June
Dairy Month With Confidence
Georgia doesn’t have nearly as
many cows today as it had nearly
two decades ago, but the state
can participate in this year’s
June Dairy Month activities with
more confidence and pride than
ever before.
So says H. K. Welch, Jr., head
of the Cooperative Extension Ser
vice dairy department at the Uni
versity of Georgia. “Artificial
breeding, forage testing, record
keeping, herd health, and other
improved management practices
have heldped Georgia dairying
come a long way," he declared.
One of the most noteworthy
changes, he said, has been the
reduction in number of cows.
Seventeen years ago there were
347,000 milkers in the state.
This was down to 181,000 last
year.
“Obviously,” Mr. Welch con
tinued, “there had to be a sharp
increase in production to keep
up with the demand for fluid
milk. And the increase came—
from 3,340 pounds of milk per
cown in 1947 to 5,260 pounds in
1964. And last year, for the first
time in history, average pro
duction for cows on Dairy Herd
Improvement Association tests
surpassed the 10,000-pound
mark.”

tention Service and financed by
cooperating farmers, provides
records that are invaluable in

Fresh, uncooked chicken
should be loosely wrapped in
wax paper or other wrapping,
kept in the coldest, non-freezing
part of the refrigerator, and
served within 3 days.
Frozen, uncooked chicken
should be wrapped in special
freezer paper and kept hard
frozen until time for use. Prior
to cooking, sufficient time should
be allowed for thawing so the
meat will cook uniformly.
Cooked chicken should be ser
ved promptly after cooking, and
pieces of cooked chicken to be

soon as possible.
To freeze fried chicken, re

If frozen fried chicken is to be

making farm and herd manage
ment decisions, according to Mr.
Welch. The program is a very
effective means of measuring the
results of following recommend
ed practices, and thus is an ideal
result demonstration, he added.
And more and more of these
demonstrations are cropping up
over the state. In 1964, for ex
ample, there were 403 herds and
28,210 cows inthe DHIA program.
In 1947 there were only 80 herds
and 4,500 cows on test.
During this 17-year period,
average production for the DHIA
cow increased from 5,220 pounds
to 10,075. “The value of DHIA
can be seen more clearly,” Mr.
Welch stated, “when you realize
that average production for all
cows climbed to only 5,260
pounds.”
Lengthen House
To make a little house look
bigger, build a porch the length
of the house front, with steps
to porch leading up from one
end. Use Douglas fir 2x4s on
edge and set at right angles to
house walls. Keep porch railing
to a simple pattern; a handrail
with a minimum of supporting
uprights gives a good, lengthen
ing horizontal line.
