Leave the skin on sweet po
tatoes when you boil them. The
thin skin is easier to peel off
when the sweet potato is
cooked, and it takes less of the
potato with it.
Winter pears or cinnamon
apples are wonderful with
lamb, adding both color and
flavor. Remember always to
serve lamb either piping hot
or cold, but never lukewarm.
Tuna is tasty and versa
tile. Tuna is available in solid
pack style for serving as in a
salad or a main dish. It also
comes in chunk, grated, and
flake style for salad mixtures,
casseroles, patties and turn
overs. Choose the style pack to
fit your use.
Two tablespoons crushed
cinnamon graham crackers
make an excellent low calorie
ice cream topping.
When you need a number of
containers to hold different dips
for snacks, shape a double
square of aluminum foil over
a small bowl. Trim or flute the
edges, then remove the bowl.
Put foil containers in the center
of the tray, fill with dip and
surround with crackers or
chips.

Council Meeting Chaotic
Action-packed excitement,
lawlessness teeming with
raw emotions . . . sounds
like a description of a West
ern movie, doesn't it? But
it is a description of the City
Council meeting held in
Morrow May 21st! A large
crown of townsfolk turned
out to hear the council turn
down a petition for more
apartments proposed for
some eight acres of property
on Reynolds Road, after a
i lengthy and sometimes un
ruly discussion of the ques
tion.
Mr. David Rice, owner of
the property, presented his
case for the rezoning, which
was only a reiteration of his
previous stand. Mr. Rice ar
gued that Morrow’ needs
apartments, that it cannot
be the same quiet, peaceful
little town it has been, and
that 1-75 and the new junior
college will change its face
extremely His theory that
Morrow has to change
seemed to anger the resi
dents, who voiced their ob
jections to that particular
statement, saying they want
their town to stay a resi
dential community, and the
mayor and two councilmen
were voted in last December
for that very reason. (All
three had a strong platform
of being opposed to apart
ments. >
Some of the residents told
the mayor and council that
। the reason the bond issue for
recreation failed earlier this
month was due to a retalia
tion of the people who were
angered because the council
had voted to rezone land on
Lee Street for apartments.
Mayor Frank Frame had
stated that he didn’t believe
that was the reason, that
the people had merely shown
they weren't interested in
the welfare of their children
Following the discussion,
the motion was made to ac
cept the recommendation of
the Zoning Board to deny
the petition for apartments
on Reynolds Road, which
was seconded and passed
unanimously.
Mr Jack Humphrey had
i publicly asked in the news
paper why the mayor had
voted for the Lee St apart
ments, and reasked the
question at the meeting. Mr.
Frame said that he had
looked into the situation
thoroughly and found that
no insurance comp a n y
would finance such a project
on that piece of land, so he
decided to zone it This
statement made no sense to
the audience, so they asked
for further clarification Mr.
Frame then said he did not
want to get anyone else in
volved. but that he wasn't

any richer from the deal,
and that would be the end
of the discussion on the Lee
St. apartments.
Mr. Charles Bryan, a for
mer councilman, requested
permission to speak from
the floor, and Mr. Frame
asked if it was concerning
the Lee St. apartments.
Bryan said yes, that he had
some information that
should be made public re
garding them. Mr. Frame
denied him permission to
speak, and when the people
began yelling that Mr. Bry
an had a right to be heard,
the mayor threatened to
clear the city hall. The peo
ple jumped to their feet and
en masse began to move to
ward the council table, de
manding their rights as cit
izens to be heard. The mayor
called a recess and the coun
cilmen and mayor left the
room
During their absence, Mr.
Bryan read a letter to the
people, who had taken seats
again. The letter was from
Mr. M L Florence, owner of
the Lee St. property, who
said that he had not peti
tioned for the rezoning of
the property, and in fact did
not know it was even to be
considered. He had not
talked with Mr. Rice, (who
supposedly had taken an op
tion to buy the land, condi
tioned on the rezoning of it
to R-3i. and did not have
any knowledge of the whole
situation. As Mr Bryan fin
ished repeating it, the mayor
f walked up and asked why he
hadn’t been notified of the
। letter and Mr. Bryan ex
। plained that he'd only re-
I ceived it that afternoon.
। The questions remain:
' How could the city council
' zone a piece of property
, which was not even peti
| tioned for rezoning by the
i owner? If no insurance
: company would finance it
for apartments, why zone it
for apartments? (And over
the masse objections of the
citizens? i It would appear
i the mayor of Morrow has
j some tall explaining to do!

ITEM: If you are planning
to rearrange pictures and mir

why not try out the new loca

Then you can see how these

about marring a newly-painted
wall After you have decided
where they go. you can re
move old hooks and nails and
patch the holes with spackle
