The hww-ton Home Journal, Perry, Ca., Thursday, May 28, 1970 The Cook’s Nook By Mildred E. Warren A buffet supper is a delightful, in formal and effortless dinner party that can be given easily without extra help. The food is placed on a table or buffet. Plates, silver and napkins rae arrang ed conveniently so that your guests may serve themselves. They may take their plates to smaller tables set up nearby, or in an adjoining room. Des sert may be served by the hostess or a friend and passed to the guests, or it may be set out with the coffee on another table, or placed on the clear ed buffet table, where each guest serves himself. Hamburger Stroganoff is a grand main dish for a buffet supper. It may be served with toasted french bread, a vegetable and salad. Serve your fa vorite dessert with your supper. When unexpected guests drop in here is a quickie to serve, Dried Beef Rarebit. And last but not least, is a recipe for Blueberry Muffins. This is a favor ite of many people I know, I think I shall try Blackberry Muffins, sub stituting blackberries for the blueber ries. What do you think?

L. McDaniel, presi dent of the Board of the 24,000 member electric cooperative, headquartered in Reynolds, Ga. Mr. McDaniel’s statement followed a meeting of the Flint Board of directors in which the recently announced rate increase proposal was discussed. “Statements in the press relating to an increase of “only a quarter cent per KWH’’, or about “$1.50 per month for the ‘average’ cus tomer” are somewhat mislead ing,” he said, “since our members average using more RUST BUSTER carload special!

Blueberry Muffins Cream Vi cup butter or margarine with Vi cup sugar. Add 1 well-beaten egg and mix. Do not beat. Beating is futile and fatal. Sift 2 cups flour. Take 2 tablespoons of flour and mix with IV2 cups blueberries. Sift the rest of the flour with 3 teaspoons baking pow der and Vi teaspoon salt. Measure 1 cup milk. Add the dry ingredients al ternately with the milk. Don’t beat! (Warning against the down beat.) Stir. enough to mix. Add the floured blue berries and fold in the batter. (The batter won’t look smooth, this is all right. They will be “smooth” going down.) Fill greased muffin pans two thirds full. Bake in hot oven, 400 de grees F. for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot, with butter if desired. Good! Makes 12. than the number of KWH per month given as ‘average’. The rate increase proposed is actually a 37% increase in the amount Flint EMC would pay per kilowatt of electric power. It is hard for us to see any justification for this massive increase, which will cost one group of users be tween 10 and 15 million dol lars more annually, when the Southern Company’s earnings per share have been reported as increasing more than 12% for last year over the previous year, and dividends to stock holders have been increased each year for the past 12 or more years.” Adding, he said that the average cost to pro duce and deliver a KWH of electricity has decreased as much as 65% in the past 30 years, due to greater usage and modern technology. Spokesmen for some of the 41 member-owned electric systems in Georgia have voic ed the opinion that the pro posed rate increase is a step in the direction of “putting the co-ops out of business”, thus eliminating the “compe tition by example”, or yard stick influence of the service at-cost method of operation in the electric utility field, according to Mr. McDaniel. Citing a more typical ex ample of the average cost to individual Flint members if the proposed increase in electric rates is granted by the Federal Power Commiss ion and passed on in monthly bills, the increase will run two to three dollars per month, the Flint president stated. “We do want to make it clear that electric rates for Flint EMC members are not set by the newspapers, but it is true that any rate increase granted by the governing federal agency will come out of our members’ pockets. We will vigorously oppose this pro posed increase.” The rate hike will also affect the municipal, or city owned systems, and the state wide association of electric cooperatives, GEMC, and the Georgia Municipal Association are scheduling meetings to plan opposition to the propos al, it was reported. Direct customers of the Georgia Power Company would not be affected by the increase. Miss Annette Williams, a former graduate of Houston High School, and presently a graduating senior at Fort Valley State College was awarded a plaque during Busi ness Week at the Fort Valley State College, for having achieved the highest average in the department of business. Miss Williams was also honored at the Annual Honors Convocation. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Roberts 1321 Horton Street, Perry. The Home Journal is a prize-winning Georgia pa per.
