THE COVINGTON NEWS
Outdoor Cooking
Offers New Fun
On Boating Trip
Summer Is outdoors time—so
why Interrput the fun of an out
ing on the water to grab a bite
to eat Indoors? With a little
planning and a hint or two from
the chief cook and bottle washer
(also known as “wife”), an out
door meal can be the highlight of
the day.
One essential to a successful
nautical picnic is an ice chest,
the Johnson Motors News Bu
reau advises. These foam or
fiberglass marvels come In a
variety of shapes and sizes, and
have replaced the famed picnic
chest.
Watertight plastic containers
are excellent to keep food in,
particularly foods that must be
kept in the ice chest. But make
sure the lids are tight. No one
likes cole slaw in his potato
chips.
If the weather promises to
be chilly, trade in the lemonade
for some hot soup kept warm in
a vacuum bottle. And the new
throw-away, pop-top cans make
serving soft drinks easier than
ever. Watch where the empties
go, though. Don’t litter!
Compact, safe camp stoves
now permit cooking right in the
boat, so if there’s a chef aboard,
don’t forget the pots and pans.
Leave the good ones at home,
however, because there’s a good
chance they’ll get nicked and
scratched. There’s no place
a battered old skillet looks as
good—or cooks as well—as on a
camp stove.
Be careful. Remember—
where there’s heat, there’s fire.
Experienced outdoor cooks al
so make sure they have such
modern kitchen staples as paper
towels (good for a multitude of
uses), aluminum foil and table
ware (disposable or old, so a lost
fork or broken plate won’t ruin
the day).
Experts agree the real sec
ret of outdoor cooking is plan
ning. Keep it simple, plan ahead
and a successful picnic will be
come a part of every boating
trip.
USEFUL BY-PRODUCTS
By- products of sawtimber
management and lumber manu
facture in the South are serving
a number of useful purposes.
Sawtimber is a term for trees
of sufficient size and quality
for lumber. Periodic thinnings
which give them room for healthy
growth yield considerable mater
ial for pulpwood.
Southern Pine sawlogs are de
barked as they enter the saw
mill. This barkfree condition
contributes to the precision of
lumber manufacture. It also
permits conversion of slabs, ed
gings and other leavings, of the
saws to pulp chips for paper
mills.
Sawdust may also be used for
pulpwood. Bark has a host of
uses — soil conditioners, wood
flour, floor sweeping compounds
—just to name a few. planer
mill shavings may be used for
particleboard.

Two-Man Patrol
Cars Return To
State Highways
ATLANTA, (GPS) —The recent
fatal shooting of Atlanta Police
Lt. E. B. Mitchell Jr. has stirred
up debate In Atlanta over whether
night patrol cars should be man
ned by two officers rather than
one. An escaped Negro convict
has been charged with murdering
Lt. Mitchell who was riding alone.
The Fulton County Grand Jury
is studying the city’s one-man
patrol policy.
Meanwhile, Col. R. H. Burson,
state public safety director, dis
closed that since he assumed
office early this year the State
Patrol has returned to the use
of two-man patrols at night.
“I have never been in favor
of one-man patrols at night,”
declared the 24-year veteran of
the Public Safety Department.
“An officer, working alone in
the dark of night, has no help
at hand and his life is In con
stant danger. He becomes a
sitting duck when encountering
armed criminals. He needs a
partner at his side.”
One of Col. Burson’s first of
ficial acts after taking command
of the far-flung law enforcement
organization was to reinstate the
department’s policy of operating
night dual patrols. This was,
as a general rule, in effect up
until a few years ago.
“Naturally, with our limited
personnel we can’t install com
plete dual patrols all at once,”
he said. “For the present, our
post and troop commanders have
instructions to utilize two-man
patrols as far as practical.”
However, Col. Burson emphas
ized that it won’t be too long
before complete night dual pat
rols will be effectuated through
out the state-wide system. He
pointed out that the 500-man
patrol will be increased by 50
within the next few weeks, and 100
in late 1967 and early 1968.
