CITY ELECTION: December is
1 not far off ami on the first Tues
' day in that month Perry will elect
a mayor and three councilmen.
Now’s a good lime to start think
! ing about whom you want in those
important places.
i OVERHEARD Businessman
counting out change for a $lO bill
like this: “Two, four, six, eight,
ten.” We looked to see if he was
counting out $2 bills, but he was
just counting ones, two at a time.
ANY SAMPLES? We have sug
gested to the doctors that they
have “open house and bargain
days” at the new doctors’ offices
on Macon Street. Something like
“Two Tonsils Taken Out for the
Price of One.” Or give away sam
ples of “one penicillin shot to the
customer.” Or “SSO off regular
price for appendix operation
limit one to the customer.” The 1
doctors have been rather cool to ,
the idea so far
SAY A GOOD WORD for Gard
ner Watson, funeral home owner,
who faithfully attends all Perry
football games to be ready in case
his ambulance is needed. We are
i thankful he has not been needed
this season. But it’s nice to know
he’s always there and ready.
WEEDY, TRASHY LOTS; Mary
Holtzclaw Cleveland (Mrs. W. H.)
I of Phoenix, Ariz., saw our piece in
, The Home Journal about weedy
lots and sent along a clipping from
the Phoenix paper showing how |
that city handles the situation, j
Phoenix sends a notice to the pro
perty owner to get the lot clean. If
he fails to do the job in 30 days,
the city goes out and cleans up the
lot and assesses the cost as a tax |
lien against the property. The city |
of Phoenix has this authority in
its charter, and we doubt serious
ly if our city charter has any such
provision.

COOKING FROZEN
VEGETABLES
i
Corn on the cob should be thor
oughly thawed before cooking, un
| like most vegetables which can be
i cooked as soon as they have thaw
ed enough to separate, says Miss
Nolle Thrash, Extension food pre
servation specialist. Spinach and
other greens should be partially
thawed before cooking.

More than 1,500,000 acres in
Georgia need to be planted in

esters.

tractors prior to the date of award.
No proposal will be issued to any
bidder later than 9 a. m. Eastern
Standard Time of the date of open
ing bids.
All bids must show totals for
each item and total amount of
bid. Right is reserved in the un
dersigned to delay the award of
the contract for a period not to
exceed thirty (30) days from the
date of opening bids, during which
period bids shall remain open and
not subject to withdrawal. Right
is also reserved in the undersigned
to reject any and all bids and to

Upon compliance with the re

cifications, ninety (90) per cent of
