Farm Women
Asked To Save Fats
Arrangements are being made
this week by Home Demonstration
agent Nell Parish and County
Agent O. P. Dawson to distribute
around 1,800 leaflets to aid farm
women in saving waste fats.
The agents pointed out that
waste fats are important now be
cause they are used in making ex
plosives, and they said the leaflet
explains how to save fat, what to
save, and where the collected fat
should be turned in.
According to the leaflet, four
things to do are: (1) Save all fats.
(2) Pour into wide-mouthed can,
not glass. (3) Keep in refrigerator
or cool, dark place until at least
one pound is collected. (4) Take
to a meat dealer or a frozen food
locker plant.
Things not to do include: (1)
Don’t let fats stand so long they
become rancid. (2) Don’t take fat
to meat dealer on week-ends if this
can be avoided.
Do Your Part
In the National
Scrap Harvest
Chattooga county has a big. pa
triotic job. The National Scrap Har
vest is now being conducted here,
August 17-29. Scrap depots are
scattered all over the county and
every patriotic citizen is requested
to follow through with all the scrap
iron and steel, rubber, lead, rags,
burlap and waste fats that is pos
sible.
People have not been sufficient
ly impressed with the seriousness
of the situation. But now, with plen
ty of urging and assistance, it is
hoped all will cooperate during the
National Scrap Harvest.
We are going to win this war.
Millions of tons of steel, rubber
and other materials will be neces
sary to finish the job. It is the duty
of every American to do everything
within his power to assure that not
one life is lost because of a lack
of materials with which to make
arms, ammunition, or equipment.
Capacity production of steel and
rubber for war purposes cannot
continue through the winter
months without an increased and
•continuing flow of scrap metal and
scrap rubber to the steel mills and
rubber plants.
This is an emergency. Everyone
has an obligation to his country.
It calls now for help in building the
stnews of war. There’s no time for
petty jealousies or haggling. The
scrap must come in.
Transportation problems may
cause scrap to move from com
munities more slowly than some
think it should. This should cause
no concern—the big job is to get
it collected and off the individual
places before another winter. From
there on it will roll as fast as the
mills can absorb it and the rail
roads can haul it.
Your reward for cooperation in
the National Scrap Harvest will be
personal satisfaction that comes
from a job well done, and the
knowledge that you have served
your country well.
“Brave men shall not die because
I faltered.”

IMPORTANT NOTICE
TO THE PATRONS
SUMMERVILLE SCHOOLS
This letter is written for the
common interests and good of all
those deeply concerned about the
"'ducation of our children who at
tend the Summerville schools. For
two years I have, to the best o.'
my ability, endeavoured to direct
the policies of the schools. I ap
preciate the splendid co-operation
and support that you have given
me. You have been very liberal
both from the standpoint of fi
nancial as well as moral assistance.
By this support we have been abF
to make some progress and devel
pment. Your children have been
he beneficiaries.
As all are aware, it takes money
to run schools. We must have coal
ights and other items of expense
The local Board receives very little
noney for maintenance on account
if the Homestead Exemption Law
These expenses must be met if w<
ontinue to run. On last graduating
light I offered this plan: If each
hild pays a small fee or donation
ve would have enough to defray
he necessary expennses. Also, 1
;tated if anyone was opposed to
he plan that I would appreciate
t if they would notify me. So far
io one has done this. On the other
land, a number have voiced theii
tpproval. Consequently, it has been
lecided on entering each term, fall
nd spring, each child in the gram
nar school will pay 50c, high school
11.00, (Colored 25c and 50c). We
lelieve that this will be sufficient
o take care of the necessary ex
penses of coal, lights, etc. Other
vise. under existing conditions, w
ire likely to find ourselves with
>ut coal this winter and will have
o close school. For it is an evident
act which we must face that we
an no longer go on having these
hings charged with nothing to pay
or same.
Hoping for your continued co
iperation, I am,
(The above approved by the local
loard).
Yours sincerely,

I HOME AGENT SAYS
DRIED LORN 0000
EOR WINTER USE
With wartime bringing about a
shortage of canning equipment
more homemakers are turning tt
drying as a means of preserving
food. Corn, now available in quan
lity in Chattooga County, is a veg
etable that can be preserved sat
islactorily by drying.
Miss Nell Parish, home demon
t ration agent, this week gave
some tips on how to dry corn sc
the fresh product can be kep?
•aiely for winter meals.
Use any good table corn, gath
jred when right for immediate
ating, she said. Work fast—never
et corn stand very long before
drying. Husk the corn and re
nove any blemishes. You do not
need to silk it—the silks separate
easily from the kernels alter they
are dried.
Steam me corn tor ten minutes
jr boil it from eight to twelve min
utes—or until the milk is “set”.
Then drain the corn, cool it and
put from the cob.
To sun-dry corn, according to the
home agent, spread small lots on
lean boards, heavy paper, canvas,
cheesecloth or sacks held in place
iy laths. Wire trays or screens or
slat trays covered with thin cloth
■Ve even better because they let
T circulate under the corn as
. ill as over it.
Dry the corn on an outdoor
helf, a roof slanting to the south,
r in sunny windows. Stir it two
r three times each day while it is j
frying. Take it in at night and
Whenever rain is expected.
Properly dried corn is hard and
little. Seal dried corn imme
diately in moisture-proof contain
ers and store in a cool, dark, dry
1 lace. If signs of moisture appear
later, the corn should be reheated
to 160 degrees Fahrenheit and then
r.-sealed in the containers, Miss
.’arish concluded.

Dr. James Smith,
Physician, Dead
Dr. Smith was one of leading
Doctors in Lyerly for 60 years.
LYERLY, Ga., Aug. 17—Dr. James
A. Smith, for sixty years one of the
leading practicing physicians of
this community, died this morning
after an illness of two weeks.
Born in Hawkinsville, Pulask
county, Georgia, on May 12, 1857
Dr. Smith attended the Louisville
Medical college and was graduated
in 1880. The same year he came
to Chattoogaville, a country com
munity live miles south of Lyerly,
where he continued in the medical
profession until about two years
ago.
Dr. Smith was one of the pioneer
doctors of this community and was
known far and wide. Most of the
years he spent in the profession he
used the horse and buggy, and even
made many of his calls during the
earlier days of his career on horse
back over almost impassable coun
try trails to render whatever aid
he could to stricken families, many
of these calls being made for char
ity, Dr. Smith always leaving the
payment of the doctor’s bill to the
ability of the patient to pay.
In 1888 Dr. Smith was married
to M.ss Tcnnie Belle Rush, daugh

War Board Urges
Scrap Collectors
To Keep Up Fight
Scrap collection, particularly of
ron, steel and rubber, must be a
continuing war-time job, T. P.
Johnston, chairman of the Chat
tooga County U. S. D. A. War
Board, declared this week.
“We mustn't be fooled,” he said,
“by the knowledge of thousands of
tons of scrap already moved into
trade channels. The bare fact is
that right now the steel mills of
America have less than a 20-day
supply of scrap on hand. We must
not lag for a single day. We've got
to keep those mills running at full
capacity.”
To scrap iron, steel and rubber,
Mr. Johnston added another major
need waste kitchen fats. Every
pound of these, he declared, is
needed for the production of glyc
erine. a vital element in munitions
production.
“Here’s a job for every housewife
in the county,” he asserted. “Sav
ing kitchen fats seemg to be a
minor task, but it’s one of tremen
dous importance.
“If all —or even half —of the
housewives in Chattooga County
would start saving kitchen fats to
day, the glycerine thus obtained
would make possible an incalcula
ble number of shells. There’s
enough in just two pounds of cook
ing fats for five anti-tank shells.”
Mr. Johnston issued a new ap
peal to every man, woman and
child in the county to scour home,
yard, farm and all buildings for
every type of salvage material
needed for war production. Scrap,
he said, must be kept flowing “not
merely in August, but every month
of the year, and in greater and
greater quantities.”
Chattooga County’s quota for
scrap iron is 1,572 tons.
Stamp No. 8
Good For 5 Pounds
Stamp No. 8 on your War Ration
Book No. One is valued at five <5)
pounds, "and is valid from August
23, 1942 to November 1, 1942.
This does not increase the one
half (%) pound per week per per
son allowance but enables the mer
chants to sell 5- and 10-pound
packages, and eliminates so many
trips to the grocery store.
All institutional and industrial
users of sugar should get your Sep
tember and October allowance be
fore Septembe 5, 1942.
