IV BY LINDA NORHIB J
Shucks, if movie stars can go
into politics, why can't politi
cians go into show biz? No rea
son, and several well-known
Congressional leaders have al
ready opened the path ... It
started with Sen. Everett Dirksen,
golden - throated orator-states
man from Illinois . . , Dirksen
lent his dramatic style to an
album entitled Gallent Men, in
which he narrated tales of gal
lantry through the ages with a
choral background . . , The LP
came up with such favorable re
action, that he is busy waxing a
second one . , . Should he retire
at the expiration of his term two
years hence, or should he be
defeated on age as was his Dem
ocratic counterpart, Paul Doug
las of Illinois, Dirksen has a new
career.
Then there came Adam Clay
ton Powell with his Keep the
Faith, Baby . . . Although he
was unseated by his colleagues
for payroll padding and conduct
unbecoming a congressman In
general, Powell Isa minister and,
undaunted, he cut this album of
spiritual comfort . . . Nowhere
in the LP does he explain his
congressional capers, but that’s
beside the point . . . This one is
also selling like the proverbial
hotcakes ... If this keeps up, it
will be hard telling the actor
from the politician it never
was easy anyway for there are
times congressmen might easily
qualify for an Oscar with their
polish and acting ability.
Just goes to show that any
one can break into the two fields,
and the more versatile the better
- - . Oddly enough, Ronald Rea
gan and George Murphy have
made no attempt to combine
their two careers, both having
put their show biz days way
behind them . . . Perhaps that
old saw about the greed of a
politician Isn’t Just an old saw?

\ University Offers Services
t
As Ga. Is Being Reshaped
' By MRS. HELEN B. SASSER
County Extension Home
Economist
The University of Georgia
: campus, as most anyone will tell
you, is located in Athens, Ga,
But when you plot the locations
of service units of this institution
on a map, you find that the
campus really encompasses the
state.
What brings me to this subject
is a booklet just off the press
, called, “Service”, which outlines
the service program of the Uni
versity.
The booklet was published to
let Georgians know more about
their land grant institution and
invite communities and areas to
take full advantage of all assis
tance offered by the University.
The University has a vast res
ervoir of knowledge and skills. It
has a rich history of involvement
in business, industry, agriculture,
pharmacy, education, the arts,
and just about every field of hu
man concern.
By 1%5, the services had be
come so extensive that the pro
grams were coordinated under
the new office of a Vice Presi
dent for Services. The man who
serves in this position of leader
ship, J. W. Fanning, is known
throughout the state.
In the booklet on University 1
services, Vice President Fanning
says: “The University of Geor
gia is providing a greater va
riety of assistance to more peo
ple and groups at more locations
throughout the state than at any
time in its history. Into every
nook and cranny of this state go
members of the faculty, publica
tions, or ideas from the Universi
ty to help build a better Georgia.
This state is in the throes of
reshaping and remodeling with
increased urbanization and a
stronger industrial base. Com
munities are being remodeled end
economics remade. The speed of
change and adjustment is ex
hilarating and challenging. A
new Georgia is in the making.
“As Georgia moves in these
exciting times, so move the pub
lic services of its University.
This institution has a broad, deep
commitment to serve the people
of this state. Growing to meet
the commitment, the program of
service strikes across the whole
structure of the University and
reaches every corner of the
state.”
You are probably familiar with
many of the services of the Uni
versity. The major service units
are: The Georgia Center for Con
tinuing Education, Cooperative
sponsor 10 young people to this
camp.
The Perry Civitan Club is go
ing to sponsor a high school girl
to Girl’s State in Atlanta this
Spring. The girl’s name has not
been released.
A committee headed by Jim
Agerton has completed the pur
chase and installation of a mer
ry-go-round for Ocklahalchee
Park. A donation of $l5O has also
been forwarded to this communi
ty activity.
Recent guests to club meetings
have been Charles Evans, Juan
Thompson, Bill Perry, and Ben
Boutwell. The Perry Civitan Club
is always looking for good men
to join its ranks.
Since the first of January,
meetings have been held at the
Perry Country Club. The food
committee headed by Billy Eth
ridge, Charles Collins, and aided
by many others, have really done
a fine job with the meals.
Joe Rogers recently gave a
very interesting film on San
Francisco. That very same day
he was sent there to work on a
government contract. We are ex
pecting a film on Hawaii any day
now.
Extension Service, Institute of
Community and Area Develop
ment, Institute of Government,
The College of Business Adminis
tration, The College of Education
and The School of Law. In addi
tion to these major services,
there is a “multitude of counsel
lors” in other schools and col
leges, in their departments and
divisions,
At a later date, I would like
to report to you on some of the
services provided by each servi'.e
unit. But even on this occasion,

Menu course in a proverbial
rut? Try this novel salad and
stand easy for applause. Ring
an individual salad plate with
sliced chilled cucumber. In the
center arrange a bed of finely
chopped lettuce leaves and top
with 6 or 7 whole, drained Nor
way sardines. Garnish with criss
cross strips of red pimento and
serve with your favorite home
made or store bought salad
dressing.
For fruit elegance, combine
mandarin orange sections with
coconut, pineapple bits, mara
schino cherries and ’ soured
cream. Let stand for 3 hours in
refrigerator and serve as a fruit
salad.
Applesauce folded into
whipped cream makes a nice fill
ing lor miniature cream puffs.
Pass with chocolate sauce, if de
sired.
One trend in frozen foods is
crunchier and more flavorful
breedings for fish, shellfish, meat
and poultry.

Houston Home and Food Notes
By HELEN B. SASSER
County Extension Homo Economist
We can remember last year as the year that a revolution
occured in fashions. We were offered everything in dress from
utter elegance to utter nonsense.
Many of the changes which came about were so "mod”, so
far out, so extreme and so often rediculous, they were "becom
ing” to only a few.
As with every revolution, those things which are radical are
tempered by time. Part of the changes are accepted and re
main forever. We can certainly consider some of the 1986 fash
ion trends and resolve to take advantage of them this year.
The color explosion hit the fashion world in 1966. With a
myriad of brilliant hues from which to choose, we often failed
to use our artistic skill to blend them to our skin tone and to ,
combine them effectively with one another. For 1957 we might
resolve to wear only those colors flattering to our skin tone and
only those which combine harmoniously with each other.
Hemlines went up last year and today vary as much as five
to six inches. This year we might give more consideration to
choosing the hemline stopping point at which our legs look best.l
Test the hemline standing, sitting and stooping. Look at it from
the front and back and then decide what length is best.
Bared backs, cut-out armholes and plunging necklines were
frequently seen last year and the prediction this year is that
more of the same look is upcoming. This means we will need to
continue to be selective in purchasing the proper undergarments
to wear with dresses with severely cut-out lines.
Jewelry began to jangle last year and continues as part of
the 1%7 ‘‘mod” scene. The old rule of “a time and place for
everything” applies in wearing these items. Never wear more
than one piece of outstanding jewtry at a time—never in pairs
or threes.
I believe that (his is the year to be selective in fashions. We
might make ourselves a promise "to keep up with current fash
ions but choose nothing that isn't right for me, my age, my
figure, and my role in life.”

FOOD SUPPLY INVENTORY
The time is not too far ahead when you will want to fill the
food freezer and pantry with a fresh supply of fruits and vege
tables from the garden. An inventory of the freezer would be
in order at this time of year.
A freezer should be cleaned out once or twice a year, de
pending on how much it is used. It’s best to plan to clean it
whim the supply of frozen foods is low.
While taking inventory of the food supply on hand, I sug
gest you also look at the pantry shelf. With pencil and paper,
go through and list supplies on hand. A list of these items will
give you meal ideas when planning menus.
Let’s take our food supply inventory now and get ready for
the freezing and canning season ahead.

ADEQUATE DIET
Since many family members eat the noon meal away from
home, it’s often difficult to control this meal to fit into the daily
diet requirements. School children are usually served a good
lunch at school but it’s difficult to know if they ate what was
served.
A homemaker can help control this variable in a child’s diet
by encouraging them to learn to eat all foods that they arc
served. Parents should not allow children to eat only the foods
they like. Gradually introduce them to new foods and encourage
them to develop a taste for these foods.
Mothers should ask their children what they ate at the noon
meal in order to supplement diets with nourishing snacks and
foods at the evening meal.
An adequate diet for your family may mean more careful
menu planning at home. Planning menus in advance can give
you a better overall picture of meeting dietary requirements.
Advance planning also aids in better spending of the family
food dollar.

HONEY FOR BAKING
If you arc baking some goodies to send to someone in
Vietnam, 1 would suggest you try using honey in your recipes.
Honey will keep cakes and cookies softer for a longer period
of lime. If it’s candy you’re cooking, honey will keep it from
crystallizing.
When substituting honey for sugar, don’t forget to subtract
one fourth cup liquid for each cup of honey used.
