Apartment
House
Fishing
Whenever a tree falls Into a
lake or stream, It becomes a gi
ant, luxury apartment house.
The first occupants to move In
are minnows and small fish seek
ing shade and shelter. Close be
hind will be crayfish, hellgram
mites, caddis nymps, frogs,
worms and many other forms of
aquatic life.
This abundance of natural food
soon attracts some keeper-size
fish and several of these will
probably make the fallen tree
their home.
Sharp-eyed anglers take ad
vantage of logs and stumps in
the water, say the fishing authori
ties at Mercury outboards, and
their fishing success improves
when they learn how to use these
underwater housing developments
for fish.
In addition to providing shelter
for small aquatic life (and thus
food for fish) downed trees serve
fish as protection from prey ani
mals and as shade from the sun.
Largemouth bass like to lie
under a log just where it enters
the water and catch small frogs
as they leave the water to sun
themselves. A bass bug—or top
water plug—cast so that it glanc
es off the log will often tempt
a bass into thinking it’s his next
meal.
The position of the sun makes
a difference as to which side
you should aim your cast. Most
fish like the shade, therefore it’s
best to drop the first cast on the
shady side of a log or stump.
If a fish is at home, that’s pro
bably where you’ll find him.
During the hours when the sun
is almost directly overhead, fish
move into deeper water along the
log. They’re reluctant to leave
their feeding table and protect
tion. When this happens, the Mer
cury lads suggest that it’s time
to change to a spinning rig and
work the deep water at the end
of the log.
Keep these tips in mind next
time you see a fallen tree in
the water. It might just be an
apartment house for fish.

Recently we have received in
our office a new bulletin - “Pro
cessing Strawberries” which in
cludes freezing strawberries and
making jelly and jam.
Strawberries are one of Geor
gia’s most popular small fruits.
They are easy to grow and easy
to process. Since they are one
of the high vitamin C foods, con
sider the number of different ways
they can be served In the dally
diet. They are good to eat and
good for you. You can easily
preserve the rich, delicate flavor
and color to enjoy throughout the
year. Think of the convenience
you’ll enjoy with strawberry pro
ducts In the food freezer and on
the pantry shelf. Just follow
the simple rules in this leaflet.
Harvesting: Pick the berries
when they are fully developed and
well colored, but before they be
come soft. Use shallow con
tainers or trays to prevent bruis
ing the fruit.
Handling: The berries are Im
proved for freezing if they are
allowed to mellow and ripen tho
roughly. To aid mellowing and
ripening, spread the berries in a
clean, cool place. Usually 6 to
24 hours are necessary for
strawberries.
Selection: Select fully ripe,
firm berries with a deep red
color. Grade out Immature and
defective fruit.
Freezing Strawberries
Preparation: Gently wash the
berries in several changes of
cold water. Remove caps and
place berries In a colander to
drain.
Whole Berries: Thoroughly
coat with one part sugar to four
parts berries. Package in mois

Whole berries can be packed In
a rigid container and covered with
50 percent syrup (made by dis

ries about 3/8 inch lengthwise.
Mix six parts sliced berries with
one part sugar. Allow to stand
until sugar dissolves (about 10
minutes). Package In rigid fre
ezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch
head space.
Mashed Berries: Mash the

SCRUB DOWN
Does your child show up at
dinner with “maps” on his arms
where soap and water dribbled
when his hands were washed?
Then it’s time to teach him the
Red Cross method for “washing
down.” Doctors and scientists
and lab technicians also have to
scrub off dirt and germs by wash
ing downwards from the elbow to
fingertips.
It won’t hurt a child to know
that supercleanliness Is a rule
on ships and spacecraft as well
as in factories and hospitals.
This might also be a good
time to teach your child what a
“ship-shape” bathroom is. If he
has really washed the dirt down
the drain, it won’t show up on
the towel or the bath room fix
tures.
The best careers have high
standards of cleanliness, so he
might as well make it second
nature now to scrub and keep
the surroundings tidy.

AVOID POISONING
Here are a few tips I would
like to pass along to Newton
County homemakers on ways to
prevent food poisoning.
Don’t let raw poultry or meat
come In contact with other foods,
especially foods to be eaten raw
or lightly cooked.
Before you handle or prepare
other foods, thoroughly wash your
hands and any equipment that co-
mes into contact with raw meat or
poultry.
Keep your kitchen counter
clean.
Keep foods properly refrigera
ted, especially “prepared’’foods
such as potato salad, precooked :
ham and custards. :
Keep cooked foods very hot or
very cold —don’t hold them for
long periods at room tempera- ’
ture.
Don’t buy cracked or dirty ’
eggs. ]
If you can fruits, vegetables
or other foods at home, be sure
to sterilize them properly. Check ;
by my office for detailed Infor- )
mation on home canning of foods. '
Don’t use canned foods if the
cans are swelled or bulged or 1
the contents have an off odor. 1
