More than 7,000 Georgians, old and young, sent in their ideas on
“5 Ways to Make My Community Better” in the big Better Home
Towns contest! The mailman literally swamped us with entries in
the final days.
That means some delay in selecting the winners, but we are sure
that everyone will be proud of this great outpouring of suggestions
for making Georgia towns better places in which to work and live.
Georgia WILL go forward —this great response proves it!
Having entered the contest, you’re entitled to know what is hap
pening: Ist, your entry was given a serial number —on the body
of the letter; the same number was repeated alongside your name
and address. 2nd, this serial number was entered in a book along
with your name, address, age group, etc. 3rd, all identification was
removed from your letter, leaving only the serial number. 'With this
done, neither contestants nor judges need worry about any questions
of favoritism.
Then your letter was ready for the County Judges, who are
now making their selections for County prizes —in Counties where
local prizes were offered and also selecting the best 10 per cent
from their County to be entered in the State Contest. Then the
seven State Judges will make the final selection of the sixty prize
winners thirty in the Grown-Ups Division, thirty in the Young
Folks Division.
Everybody is working as fast as possible, without sacrificing care

Utilize Peanuts in Meal Planning
Peanuts are high in food value;
they have a high calorie value and
contain important vitamins, min
erals, fats, carbohydrates, and good
quality proteins, Miss Parish, home
demonstration agent, declared this
week.
“Peanuts have a high percentage
of edible food in proportion to to
tal weight and are economical. They
are universally liked and may be
served in meals or otherwise,” she
said.
Baked peanuts, similar to Boston
baked beans, or peanut toast, made
of a combination of peanuts, lima
beans or other beans, mashed po
tatoes, eggs and milk with season
ings are good ways of serving pea
nuts as main dishes, Miss Parish
said. These may be arranged in a
baking dish in layers and baked.
A dish known as Shanghai Special
combines coarsely chopped peanuts
with veal or pork, and vegetables
and seasonings to make a “delici
ous” stew for a main dinner dish,
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1944
the home agent said. Peanuts are
also used in many salad combina
tions, in sandwiches, desserts and
candies.
Peanut butter is a favorite spread
either alone or in combination with
marmalade or jelly, Miss Parish
„aid. The commercial pack of pea
nut butter is most familiar. Those
who grow peanuts can make their
own peanut butter, the demonstra
tion agent suggested, by parching,
removing the hulls and then grind
ing the nuts with the fine blade of
the food chopper two or three
times, or until they are finely
ground. Add a small amount of
salt and a little oil, if the peanuts
are very dry; then pack into con
tainers and keep in a cool place,
she said.
Peanuts, raw or parched, have
ong been a favorite food to nib
ble on, but with the scarcity of
some of the usual protein foods,
greater stress than ever before
should be on serving peanuts. Even
in sections where not grown com
mercially, any farm family can
grow enough peanuts to supply the
lamily, the home demonstration
agent concluded.
Howdy, Folks
BY REV. B. L. BETTS
AT OAK HILL —
Next Sunday, Nov. 19, is the final
preaching day of the present con
ference year at Oak Hill. The Sun
day school, morning preaching
service, Methodist Youth Fellow
ship, prayer service and evening
sermon will be in order. At this
writing we are negotiating for the
same quartet we had in Lyerly last
Sunday night. Also this service
marks the beginning of the pastor’s
thirty-first year as a conference
member.
LAST SUNDAY—
A good day at South Carolina,
with Prof. Lovett as special speak
er, a time of happy fellowship at
Mrs. Jackson’s birthday dinner, a
few moments with our young peo
ple, in whose meeting the profes
sor distributed an outline of the
Gospel of Luke, a chance to hear
the Summerville quartet headed by
J. W. Scoggins and an opportunity
to preach in Lyerly were among the
highlights of the day.
MONDAY—
This morning I felt that I need
ed all the tabulators used in the
recent national election, as I
tackled the task of making my an
nual conference report. For many
hours I worked about as hard as I
could and that report is now in the
mails. As I write I am thinking
of my invitation now to the home
of Brother Elgin Holt, and I’ll get
there just as soon as I can.
MRS. JACKSON—
For one who has lived 84 years,
Mrs. Mary Jackson is about asspry
and active as anybody I know. I
consider myself a member of her
family. The pastor, you know, is
a member of all the families in the
churches he serves. Cousin Cora
was a fine lady of ceremonies and
cooked a dinner, as did all the oth
ers, that was fit for a king. Eighty
four years from now, I want to
meet everybody who was there yes
terday at the Jackson birthday din
ner. Mark your calendar for 2028.
TWO FUNERALS —
Last Wednesday my dear friend
and brother Oak Hill church mem
ber, Judd Pickle, was buried from
Broomtown church. In his going,
I felt a personal loss, because I
knew and loved him. He left a
good name behind him.
On the same date, Brother Hur
ley, of Alabama, was buried. While
I did not know him, I did know
Mrs. Tom Stallings and others re
lated to him. They have my sym
pathy.
SANTA CLAUS—
Pollock sweet potatoes, Busbin
potatoes and turnips, Mother Holt
“sho’ nuff” pork sausage, Brooks
special chicken feed and Cordle
pumpkins. Yum! Yum! Yum!
APOLOGY—
The rush at this time and the
many omissionk from this column
this week can be laid at the door
of the tedious work on my report
and my desire to reach Brother
Elgin Holt’s home before he de
vours all the chittlings of those
two hogs he killed today.
God bless you, folks!
Plenty to Do
The farmer was showing his new
hand around the farm, explaining
all the jobs he would have to do.
When the list had been com
pleted the man asked: “How about
clearing the snow from around the
house?”
“What on earth do you mean?
There’s no snow at this time of the
year,” said the farmer.
“No, but by the time I’ve fin
ished my jobs there will be.”
“Did Joan’s mother find fault
with her for arriving home with
the milkman?”
“No; she scolded the milkman
for coming so late.”
