'Congress Club'
To Be Organized
Miss Rena Rider announced
plans this week to organize a
“Congress Club’’ in Perry and
Houston County.
The purpose of the club is to
give young people an opportunity
to more actively participate in
their government. Sponsored by
Congressman Jack Brinkley, the
organization will work closely
with him in promoting the "Youth
in Government” idea.
Steve Dugan, the Club’s Dis
trict Chairman, visited Perry
this week and at that time said
Congressman B-’inkley was very
interested in gaining the advice
and counsel of young people
through their participation in a
Congress Club.
Congressman Brinkley has
said, “if we can show young
people they can accomplish
things within the law, they won’t
be seeking attention through
lawlessness and in the streets.”
Congressman Brinkley has
promised to work with the young
people in every way possible.
He said he felt the exchange of
ideas between young people and
their Representatives in Con
gress would be beneficial “to
the Congress, the young people,
the District and the Nation.”
Mi ss Rider stated the club
would begin to form a hoard of
directors in the next week and
after that membership would be
increased to include all young
people interested in participat
ing in their government.
Anyone interested in joining
should contact Rena Rider at her
home or phone 987-2605, Those

I had such an interesting time
at a meeting at the Houston
County Family and Children
Service office last week. Mrs.
Aurelia Evans called me to join
her staff to meet Miss Chira
Sakornpan, a Medical Social
Worker from Thailand. Miss
Sakornpan was here to observe
the program on family planning.
Miss Charlon Seegar, Family
Planning Consultant from the
Georgia State Office in Atlanta
brought Miss Sakornpan to ob
serve here as this county has
started this program and is more
advanced than some others.
It was interesting to learn a
bit about the diet of Miss Sakorn
pan’s country. In Thailand rice
is the main food, raw food is
also eaten, fish and fruit.
(Bananas especially; she told
me how a Banana Dessert might
be prepared with coconut milk.)
All children must have rice;
it may be prepared with chicken
broth; rice noodles and egg
noodles are also served. I asked
what might be served for break
fast, lunch and dinner and this
is the menu she gave me:
For breakfast: Rice, (not much
salt) possibly a fish sauce. In
her family they serve bread for
breakfast and she says they
like coffee os we do.
For lunch: Rice again, noodle
soup, sometimes Chow Mein.
(It seems that their food is
similar to Chinese food, sweet
and sour dishes.)
For the evening meal: Rice,
curry or soup. One vegetable
dish, fish or meat. (Possibly
fried fish or chicken prepared in
several ways.) Tnere are usually
three dishes for the evening
meal.
One interesting thing to me
was the fact that iced tea is
served free of charge at the
hotels.
We noted too that they dress
as wo do, wearing their native
Thailand dress for ceremonies

to learn a bit about the customs
of other countries, especially
since our world is getting small
er and smaller with air travel ns
it is.
We also have two recipes from
our country for today’s Nook.
One is for Crunchy Cucumber
Sticks, this one from Ruth Mc-
Kinley Walton and it is marve
lous! Ruth brought me a sample
to taste, that’s how 1 know.
Since cucumbers are so plentiful
1 thought this would be a goodie.
The other is a cooling dessert
1 found in my Gourmet and 1
couldn’t resist it for this sum
mertime weather. This is “lem
ony”, served with melon balls,
cool and easy, a good combina
tion.
Banana Dessert (Thailand)
Cook bananas (not too ripe) in
a little water, drop a little sugar
and salt in water. Boil a little
bit. Add coconut milk and bring
to a boil. Serve as it is, “sweet
and sour” for dessert.

even up to 1 or 2 lbs. apiece.)

seeds out of seven lbs. of cu
