One Gift Works Many Wonders
GIVETHEUNITED WAY
Famous Pony Team To Appear In Parade Here
THE NATIONALLY FAMOUS Victor Comptometer Corporation Six-Pony Hitch (shown above) will be
in the Downtown Covington Christmas Parade on December 19. Edgar Wood of Wood and Company,
local Victor dealer, has arranged for this flashy outfit to come to Covington for the parade. For
six months, the Shetland Ponies "Go To School” learning their precision routine pulling a five-eighths
scale model of an old time steam pumper fire engine. The fire engine belches forth smoke and clangs
its bell as it charges along.
Here’s The Way To Dress
And Freeze That "Deer Meat”
Enjoy a succulent venison steak
long after the hunting season is
closed. You’ll enjoy its gourmet
qualities. It will bring back
wonderful memories of the
"kill” and present a splendid
opportunity for a little mascu
line bragging. That the food
freezer adds considerably to this
phase of recreation and good eat
ing is not denied by anyone.
To Insure good eating, all
sportsmen should learn how to
care correctly for their "kill.”
Inadequate bleeding, delay or
carelessness in dressing, or fail
ure to cool the deer promptly and
thoroughly may result in a strong,
disagreeable flavor. Keeping the
animal cool while taking it home
is most important. Allow the
carcass to age for several days
in a refrigerated area. This will
improve edibility. Cut the car
cass as for using fresh, boning
where practical. Package air
tight in moisture and vapor proof
packaging materials and label
and quick freeze.
To have high quality meat for
the table, prompt care of the
animal Is most Important. As
soon as the deer Is shot, tho
rough bleeding is essential.
The more blood that is drained
out, the better the meat will
keep. Blood lowers meat quality.
Dress and clean the animal
promptly and carefully. Remove
the offal and wipe out the body
cavity well with a dry, clean
cloth. Do not use any water be
cause wet meat spoils more
quickly than dry. Save the heart,
liver and tongue. These make
delicious, nutritious dishes. They
can be prepared and eaten at
camp If you wish.
Two of the greatest causes of
game meat spoilage are souring
and flies. Cooling the carcass
quickly and thoroughly Is es
sential in keeping bacteria growth
to a minimum and preventing
stinking-sour. This can be
accomplished by hanging the car
cass In the shade where there is
a good air circulation. Prop the
flanks open with a stick 8 to
10 inches long, sharpened at both
ends. The carcass may be wrap
ped in cheese cloth.
As you take the carcass home,
place it in a cool place. Do not
put the animal near the hot mo
tor. An excellent place is on
THE COVINGTON NEWS
top of the car or in the back of a
station wagon.
Place the carcass in a freezer
locker plant or refrigerated area
to age. Remember to attach the
tag from your hunting license to
the carcass. The temperature
should be around 38 degrees F.
in a relatively dry, clean, odor
less room. This helps tender
ize the meat and develops flavor.
Leave the skin on the carcass as
this prevents dehydration and
discoloration.
Have an experienced meat cut
ter cut the carcass. Roasts,
chops and steaks are the more
common cuts. The shanks and
neck when ground and mixed with
ground pork or veal make excel
lent meat balls, patties and meat
loaf. Delightful and different
flavored stews can be made by
using the shanks, flanks and bris
ket.
These products can be pre
pared and frozen as "ready-to
serve” dishes. Cut the meat in
family size servings, trim, bone
where practical and prepare
as for using fresh. Package in
meal size containers. Use
moisture and vapor proof pack
aging materials and package air
tight. Label each package.
Promptly place the packages in
the food freezer to quick freeze.
The product should freeze solid
within 12 to 24 hours. Store at
zero or lower temperature. •,

DECORATING HINTS
From time to time, we
are pleased to bring you
some decorating suggestions
which we trust you will find
interesting and perhaps use
ful. Here are a few that we
present this week:
Don’t over-crowd your
rooms. Most rooms contain
too much furniture. Furnish
with the least amount nec
essary to do the job -- not
the most.
In your living room, try
to arrange your furniture
according to yourfamily liv
ing habits. And, there should
be a conversation group so
that people may face each
other while talking.
If your television set is
in the living room, your main
seating pieces should face
the set.
Be sure to leave open
passage-ways so that you can
easily walk from one room
to another, and from one
part of a room to another.
After decidingon your fur
niture arrangement, color
scheme, styles, etc., try to
select furniture you can en
joy living with and using,
aside from furniture you like
to look at. Don’t furnish
in such away that the living
room is reserved for com
pany and not the family.
The average family fur
nishes a home just a few
times during their lives, so
try to select quality and style
that is lasting. We are
here to serve you — and
help you -- and we look for
ward to talking with you when
you are ready to shop for any
furniture or furnishing
ideas. Southern Manor Home

Georgia Should Expand
“Dimension Stock*’
Industry, Tech Says
ATLANTA, GA. —Georgia has
enough hardwood sawtimber and
there is a large enough furnit
ure-manufacturing market in the
state and in other eastern states
to support an expanded hard
wood "dimension stock” in
dustry, according to studies con
ducted by Georgia Tech’s In
dustrial Development Division.
"Dimension stock” is partially
finished, "roughed-out” wood
parts for furniture and other
wood products.
The Tech surveys indicate that
even within the state there is
a potential $5 million demand for
dimension stock that is not being
filled. In addition there are a
number of centers of furniture
manufacturing in neighboring
states that could use more Geor
gia hardwood lumber if it were
dried and machined into dimen
sion stock.

Bargain Prices
Now In Effect
At State Parks
ATLANTA(GPS)—Most of the
5.5-mllllon-plus visitors to
Georgia’s state parks last year
probably would testify that re
creation at the park areas is
a bargain by any standard. But
now that the peak summer sea
son is over, even better bar
gains are offered during the fall
and winter seasons.
For example, State Parks Dir
ector Horace G. Caldwell dis
closed that all overnight facilities
in all the parks may be had at
a 30 per cent discount from now
through March 31, 1966.
This means that two persons
can stay in a cabin at any one
of the parks for $5.60 a day, or
in mobile homes for $7. a day.
The regular charge is $8 for
cabins and $lO for mobile homes.
There is an additional charge
of $1 a day for each additional
person occupying either facility.
"We inaugurated this off
season ‘bargain basement’policy
last year and It proved to be so
popular that we are repeating It
this year,” Caldwell said. "We
find that many people love out
door recreation In the autumn and
early winter and we’ve reduced
our rates to accommodate them.”
We hope more and more
Georgians will take advantage of
this special offer.”
PLASTIC MULCH
A black plastic material may
be used to protect the root sys
tem of fruit trees during winter
months. C. D. Spivey, Exten
sion horticulturist at the Uni
versity of Georgia, says the plas
tic serves as a mulch. He points
out that mulching young trees
with black plastic squares has
resulted in extra tree growth.
