The Gem in Georgia’s Crown
VOL. 59—No. 39
Fried chicken to me is one the
mainstays of the American way
of life. It can easily he associ¬
ated with pleasurable events
from the time I can first rem¬
ember. It was the special Sun¬
day dinner when company came
and it was the finest fare at
school picnics. It has brought
happiness, but alas—it also has
brought grief.
That’s why I think it’s practi¬
cally un-American for chicken
packers to do the things they
do.
Like, for instance, the way
these ready-for-the-frying-pan
cellophaned trays offered in the
markets are cut up. From the
first chicken ever fried, I sup¬
pose, chickens have been cut a
certain way. The joints are the
places to divide and the breast
is carved to produce the wish
bone and that little fin-like
rudder is cut off the back piece
It’s been ages since we’ve been
able to buy a cut-up chicken
that was cut-up properly, but
that’s only part of the story.
We usually buy the whole
chicken and do the cutting-up
at home.
Now everybody knows that
for a chicken to have reached
the size of frying, it just had to
have that vital organ, we know
as liver. And when I buy a chic¬
ken, I want the liver.
I remember being awarded
the liver when I was growing up,
as a sort of reward for having
picked the chicken and I’ve
always treasured it.
It is a source of constant ir¬
ritation to find the liver miss¬
ing from that bundle of parts
wrapped and placed in the
cavity.
Which reaily means that two
times in three buying chicken
causes irritation.
These packers, of course, pull
out the livers and sell them
separately at a price that makes
filet mignon appear cheap. So
that we’re being defrauded
when we buy chicken.
After ail, the reason we buy
chicken so often is because it’s
economical. But with the liver
missing, hamburger is perferred.
Once we complained about
getting no liver and after an
ordeal we were given a package
which contained liver, we were
told.
When the package was opened
at home we found a gizzard, a
stringy neck, two chicken hearts,
but only half a liver. The first
impulse was to return to the
market for another round, but
we chickened.
It happened again this week.
In our mis-cut chicken we
found lots of neck and gizzard,
including ruffage, but no liver.
What we need is a new party
—not pledged to guarantee a
chicken in very pot, but rather
to guarantee a liver in every
chicken.

VITALITY
| 9 THE DESTINY
By Glenn McCullough
Lasu week I promised that I’d
have the answers to some ques¬
tions about the proposed water
system. I failed to get the
answers. But for your considera¬
tion, here are the questions.
Will the present inadequate
fines of the Trenton system be
replaced ?
Will fire insurance rates real¬
ly be lowered?
What will it cost the city for
each new fire hydrant?
Will a county authority pro¬
hibit the city from floating sew¬
age bonds at some future date?
Is there any guarantee that
proposed rates will not up—if
the projected number of con¬
nections does not materalize?
In the event of a fund surplus
buildup—will there be a lower¬
ing of rates?
Will the authority compromise
its present gallonage-rate sche¬
dule to some degree?

Newspaper Theme
The theme for National News¬
paper Week, Oct. 15-21, has been
hailed by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower, as representing “the
hopes and achievement of
American journalism.”
The President’s message:
“Your Newspaper . . . Free¬
dom’s Textbook” is a fine theme
for this year’s observance. To
me, it stands for the hopes and
achievements of American
journalism. As our editors re¬
port the daily affairs of their
communities with zeal and ac¬
curacy, they help to supply our
citizens with the lessons of his¬
tory, together with the informa¬
tion which is required to make
history move steadily forward in
•the direction of freedom and
justice.
I am delighted to add my
wishes . . .

STILLS DESTROYED
Sheriff Allison Blevins reports
two stills of 600-gallon capacity
each were destroyed in raids
last week on Sand Mountain.
'The stills were located in a

How can we be sure that the
anticipated numbe* of water
users will have connections
made after the system is in¬
stalled? How much deposit is to
be charged?
We believe these question are
important to the people of
(Trenton and to a lesser degree
to the people outside the city.
We've heard a lot about the
people in Trenton being unwill-
ing to allow the county to grow.
In an effort to be fair, we be¬

GOOD CATCH OF BAD FISH
—Ranger Bob Baker pulls two
carp from Lookout Creek during
a population study made recent¬
ly by the Georgia Game and
Fish Commission. The big catch
of carp is but a part of the 550
pounds removed during the 2-
day study, conducted by Howard
Zeller in cooperation with the
Dade Wildlife Club. The study
was made to determine whether
selective killing of rough fish in
the creek is feasible.
