The Cook's Nook
BY MILDRED WARREN
I had a request some time ago
for an old fashioned gingerbread
recipe. I tried one and then dis
covered a recipe my Aunt Kate
used to make. I’m using hers as it
is one I remember eating it a long
time ago. The party who request
ed this asked for the “old fashion
ed kind’, and I hope that this will
please.
GINGERBREAD
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup sour milk
3 cups plain flour'
3 /4 cup dark molasses
3 A cup melted shortening
2 eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ginger
Iteaspoon cinnamon
Va teaspoon salt
Combine eggs, sugar, shortening
and molasses. Sift flour and mea
sure, now sift with soda, salt and
spices. Add alternately with milk
to first mixture. Beat until well
blended. (Batter will be rather
thin). Pour into well oiled pan
and bake in moderate oven 350
degrees about 45 minutes. If de
sired 1 cup chopped raisins may
be added to batter. Lemon sauce
is good to serve over this or whip
ped cream ... or its good hot
from oven and plain.
Now for a timely hint on can
ning pecans. This is a good idea
to save the pecans you may have
on hand at this time. Many of
you put them in your freezer but
if it is full of other good things
you may can your pecans easily
and they are grand canned in this
manner. My friend, Mable Rob
erts (Mrs. W. B.), gave this recipe
to me two or three years ago and
I like it so much. In fact you can
find me nibbling from a jar of
these many nights as I’m watching
my favorite TV program. Mrs.
Roberts has canned them and
wrapped beautifully to send as
Christmas gifts to those away who
“love” our Georgia pecans.
CANNED PECANS
Use screw top jars (screw top
on firmly.) Pack pecans in jar and
crumple a piece of brown paper
in top of jar. Screw lid on jar.
Place in cool oven and set for
225 or 250 degrees. Count time
when pre heated and process 45
minutes. Cool in oven and remove.
So bye now ’til next week, and
good cooking,

RUMOR - PASSING: Here are
three good definitions for people
who have good rumors to pass:
Reliable source the guy you

Informed source—the guy who
told the guy you just met.
Unimpeachable source—the guy

City to Enforce
Dog Ordinances
Mayor and Council Tuesday
night voted to renew enforcement
of a 1959 law on control of dogs
and passed new regulations for
development of new sub-divisions
in this fast-growing ctiy.
The law provides that dogs must
be inoculated against rabies and
wear a tag showing that fact; that
dogs without proper tags will be
impounded and killed; that owners
failing to follow the law be fined
sls.
On sub-division regulations, the
city officials ordered that sewer
lines must be installed by the
developer according to city speci
fications and must be approved by
the city before covering. The city
will bear no expenses in the in
stallation of sewer lines.
With regard to water lines, the
city will install the lines but the
developer must put up 100 per
cent of the actual cost of the pipe.
The developer will recover 50 per
cent of the cost on a pro-rata basis
per water customer tapping into
the line.
The city will install all gas lines
without cost to the developer.
All installations must meet the
requirements of the sub-division
. regulations, public health laws and
, other applicable laws, the city of-
I ficials said.
In view of the loss of several
, colored employees to better pay
, ing jobs the city officials voted an
. increase in the wages of this un
skilled labor.

Joyland Children
Travel All Over
The thirty-three little members
of the Joyland Kindergarten have
really been traveling lately with
their teachers, Mrs. Luther Mos
teller and Mrs. C. A. Terry.
Friday, April 13, certainly was
not an unlucky day for them! Ac
companied by their teachers and
three of the mothers, Mrs. William
Becham, Mrs. Charles Shelton and
Mrs. Charlie Logue, they made a
trip to the Coca-Cola Bottling
Company in Fort Valley, enjoyed
a free cold Coke and saw how they
were made.
On April 19, the Thursday be
fore Easter Sunday, they were all
invited by Jim Chapman, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harris Chapman, to
come out to his pretty new home
on the Fort Valley Road for an
Easter egg hunt. Mrs. Chapman
was assisted by Mrs. Woodrow
Gilbert.
On Friday, April 20, they went
out in the country and visited
Diane Fisher at the home of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Fish
er. They were carried on a hay
ride, in a trialer pulled by a trac
tor, all over the farm and saw
baby calves, colts, horses, pigs and
other animals. The highlight of
the ride was when Mr. Fisher
stopped and fed milk to a baby
pig from a baby bottle. After the
ride they were treated to a picnic
lunch in the back yard and each
given a toy animal by Mrs. Fisher
as a souvenir of their trip. The
mothers carrying them were Mrs.
Becham and Mrs. T. H. Fowkes.
On Friday, April 27, all of the
children were carried by mothers
to Warner Robins and put on the
train headed for Macon. The mo
thers were in Macon waiting for
them when they arrived. They all,
about 52 in number, went out to
beautiful Baconsfield Park and
enjoyed a picnic lunch.
They are all looking forward to
more exciting activities before the
school year is over.

He said the meeting held Fri
day, April 20, was sponsored by
the “Registration Committee of
Houston County" of which he is
the temporary chairman.
Ragin said he is not a member
of the NAACP and that there is
no local chapter of the NAACP in
Perry. He said he made a state
ment at the meeting that “this is
not a NAACP meeting” but simply
a meeting to get more Negroes re
gistered to vote.
Speakers were listed on a circu
lar as being Rev. Daniel Thomas
and J. H. Calhoun, Atlanta. The
circular said “Everyone invited:
all churches, fraternal, civic, so
cial, savings, business and profes
sional organizations.” It was ad
vertised as a “County Wide Citi
zenship Meeting on What’s Hap
pening in Georgia.”
J. H. Calhoun is known to be
active in the NAACP in Atlanta.
Police gave Calhoun and Rev.
Thomas a tough time while they
were in this vicinity. They were
arrested in Perry for running a
stop light and Ragin went on their
bond. They wore arrested by the
State Patrol in Peach county for
speeding later in the evening. It
is understood that the fines were
paid by check from the “Southern
Christian Leadership Conference,”
Atlanta, and signed by Martin Lu
ther King Jr. and Ralph Aberna
thy, widely known as being active
in integration efforts.
Mart F. Pierce, local Negro un
dertaker, said at least one local
Negro had been threatened with
loss of his job because he was
supposed to have attended an
"NAACP meeting” at Albany on
April 15.
Pierce said 13 cars from Perry,
carrying delegates from the New
Hope Baptist Church, attended the
55th anniversary celebration of
the Arcadia Baptist Church at Al
bany, and that there was no con
nection with a political meeting.
He said he was told that the Al
bany police took tag numbers at
the meeting and sent them to
Houston county and Perry offi
cers.
He displayed a printed program
of the church’s anniversary cele
bration, showing that the dele
gates from the Perry church par
ticipated in the services.
Pierce said the employer of one
Negro had been warned to fire
him because ho attended “an
NAACP meeting” on that day. He
said it was strictly a church cele
bration and had nothing to do with
politics.
