Week “Don’t give fire a place to start.” That’s the theme of Spring Clean-up Week, which is this week, April 18-27. The theme has a double objective, safety and beautification. Clean-up of rubbish, both in¬ side and out, attacks fires at their breeding places. As with disease and insect control, a blitzkrieg on the places they are most likely bo start, is the best method of their preven¬ tion. It’s no secret that old rags, newspapers, magazines or for j that matter, any kind of trash, is a fire hazard. More than that it’s unsightly, if not — downright ugly. of When we Urp^trans^w^e^can^al- begin getting rid ! the old fi e t P, ways see a lot of other things that need cleaning up, or fix¬ ing up, or painting up.

This is the appro¬ priate time of the year bo be¬ gin sprucing up the commun¬ ity.

Frozen food is usually thaw- ed in the original package oy one of four methods: In the refrigerator, at room tempera- ture, in front of an electric fan or as part of the cooking pro- cess. The following hints for better cooking cf frozen meats vegetables and fruits will be helpful. MEATS: It is best to thaw meats completely before cook- ing — especially the larger, thicker cuts--or the outside will be overcooked before the center is thawed. If meats must be cooked without thoroughly thawing them, the cooking pe- riod must be lengtened and the We were so happy to Miss Hubble, the new home demonstration agent, meet with us Friday night, April 16. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. J. D. Pike, the vice president, who presided. After a devotional by G. A. Grant and Mrs. Mary Elliott, a short program of songs, games and readings presented by various club mem¬ bers. A report on the new drapes in the Davis library was given by Mrs. Robert Freeman. are very pretty and we are proud of our part in-them. It was decided to sponsor cake, pie and coffee booth at the school house on Saturday, April 24, in connection Davis’ Spring Festival. Pro¬ ceeds will go to the school. The meeting was then turn¬ ed over to Mi's Hubble, who talked on the wo:k for the com¬ ing year. We are sure we will have a good year's work with her as teacher and we pledge ourselves to do our best. Two new members joined the club, Mrs. Orvil Gilbreath and Mrs. Bell Pike. We were happy to have Mrs. Conrad and that has been made in towns all over Georgia through the interest stimulated by the Georgia Power Better Home Town contest. The article says that the pro ject has had the effect of liter- ally making over many little towns that had been given up for dead. The amazing results of Georgia Power’s shot in the arm—or kick in the pants — have left even the local citi- zemy gasping in some places. Miracles have been wrought that no cne had ever dreamed possible. Dade County is represented by bwio towns this y ear in the Georgia Power contest, Tren- ton Snd Rising Fawn, The con- test offers an opportunity to ' communities make t h e s e “cleaner, richer, more livable,’ as well as a chance at the $1000 first prize or the other awards of *150, *500. or *100 County's school children and ' n *-he long run to promote bet¬ ter oral health throughout the county.

So far, Rising Fawn and North Dade schools have been serviced, although some emer- cases for the relief of pain have been taken from 'other schools.

Break the solid mass immediately so that cooking will be uniform, Add only enough water to pre- vent scorching. Cooking time for frozen vegetables is from 10 to 25 percent less than for fresh vegetables, FRUITS: Frozen fruits re- quire much more careful thaw- in than that suggested for vegetables. If they are com- pletely thawed some are too soft—unthawed they are too hard. Frozen fruits are best when the last traces of ice are just thawed by the cream that is served with them. her mother visit us and hope' they can come again soon. Refresments carrying out the Easter theme, and including Easter rabbits and eggs, were served by the hostess to the 18 ladies present. The next meet- iftg will be held at the home of M:s.
