Turkey May Lose Status
As Mainly Festive Bird
ATHENS—One of these days
that festive old bird of Thanks
giving and Christmas may stick
around a while longer.
Turkey processors are trying
to work out production ar
rangements to provide market
turkeys for processing through
out the year, according to
Howard E. Wildey, poultry
scientist with the University of
Georgia Extension Service.
Dr. Wildey said this was one
of the themes running through
the recent Georgia turkey pro
duction seminar here. He be
lieves the remarks of Lue
Shefren of Louis Rich Foods,
West Liberty, lowa, on this
subject "should be of vital
interest to all Georgia turkey
growers.”
Shefren declared that “the
food processor can no longer
afford the luxury of operating
facilities on a part-time basis.”
He cited pressure by govern
ment regulationsand consumer
protection agencies to upgrade
processing facilities, and added
that the increase in capital
expenditures for plant and
equipment has been tremen
dous.
He said year-round pro
cessing would cut costs because
of continued daily use of the
plant. "Labor forces naturally
become motivated with year
round jobs, and the fact that
there is an availability of
products the year 'round is a
strong factor in improving the
market position.”
Shefren said the turkey
processor of tomorrow “will be
looked upon as a manufacturer
of turkey products fully re-
sponsible for all phases of
processing, distribution and
promotion of his products.”
The food processor said
merchandising experts are de
tecting among American con
sumers a combination of more
sophisticated tastes and at the
same time greater demands for
more convenience in the food
market.
“Because turkey meat lends
itself to blend with all meats, I
predict that fabricating of tur
key meat has just scratched the
surface,” Shefren stated.
“There is not anything that can
be made with beef or pork that
cannot be made much better
with turkey meat,” he stated.
Shefren said the food pro
cessor is probably the first to
realize that it will take a
coordinated team effort of all
segments of the industry to
produce a product for year
round processing.
QUIET CHRISTMAS
Christmas has come and
gone. It was a quiet, family
time, it seems, for most of us.
I enjoyed having my family
on Friday night before Christ
mas, and was sorry that several
had to miss who live away
from here and couldn’t make it
this year.
It seemed strange when all
the nephews gathered around
the table, so tall, one six feet,
five inches tall. I still often
think of them in my mind as
little tricycle shavers. The
youngest this time was Arrie,
who is 20 months old. She
really had a good time, first
with a cranberry colored
cushion in the kitchen, next
taking a little stool apart, then
later with a mandolin, which
she cried to carry home with
her. Also, she worked real hard
with the balloons that we blew
up in the living room. She
pinched them and held them
and passed them around.
Our folks don’t seem to eat
as much as they used to. Had
gobs of food left.
On Saturday night had the
following friends in for another
party: Brooksie Vines, Hallie
Martin, Erene Ridley, Charlie
Elder, Fay Wooten, and
Gordon and Bernice Little. We
had a good time and everyone
was interested in hearing about
Charlie’s plan to take a cruise
to South America.
Christmas morning, Hallie
had a breakfast at her house,
and we all enjoyed good hot
biscuits and ham and red-eye
gravy, also sausage, grits, eggs,
an assortment of jellies and
preserves, including quince pre-

serves, and lots of good hot
coffee.
Sunday night I was guest of
the Ross Wootens at their
family dinner. Children, in
laws, and grandchildren kept
pouring in, loaded with food
and presents. It was exciting to
be in the middle of a warm,
family group.
Tension mounted some
when Harold and Velma and
their family were late. They
drove from down near Tifton
after church and said the roads
were real slick from the drizzle
of rain, but they made it all
right.
Food was delicious, even
fried apple pies, pecan pies,
sweet potato pie, and all sorts
of cakes.
1 enjoyed helping pass out
the gifts.
The girls-Joyce, Velma and
Doris - were each given a lovely
quilt made by Mrs. Robert
Purcell, their aunt. Each quilt
had a white background and
featured flowers—one had sun
flowers, another pansies, and
another several different kinds
of flowers. They represented a

Georgians Are
Drinking More—
Milk. That Is
ATHENS Georgians ap
parently are drinking more
milk, and that's good news to
the state's dairy industry.
During the first nine months
of 1972. fluid milk sales were
up better than six percent over
the same period of 1971, re
ports John L Williams, dairy
marketing specialist with the
University of Georgia Exten
sion Service.
But even more interesting,
says Dr. Williams, are the
product categories where some
of the major increases oc
curred
Flavored milk and drink, for
example, was up over 65
percent. Skim milk registered 4
12 percent increase, and the
two percent product t low-fat I
jumped a whopping 90 per
cent
Even with these increases,
which were mainly in low-fat
products, whole milk was still
able to increase by .41 percent
lot of time, labor, talent, and
love.
Monday afternoon I
stopped by Brooksie Vines’,
and she was lamenting the fact
that Carlton was asking for
leftovers and there weren’t any
after she had a big family party
on Sunday night. 1 told her I
had plenty so I raced home,
and she recycled our leftovers
and we had a meal fit for a
king for Christmas evening.
Her dog, Quigley, got run
over recently, and Sandra and
Jerry Sprayberry, Kim and
Alissa brought her a brown
French poodle, Ginger.
♦ ♦ ♦
It was nice seeing Jerry and
Louise Marks, who drove up
from Fort Myers, Fla., where
they are spending the winter,
to be with their cousins, Mid
and Naomi Allen and Charlie
Elder and other relatives during
the holidays.
Louise gave me a pretty pair
of beads that she had made,
said they were the first ones
she’d ever made.
Also, during the holidays I
had Sunday dinner with Paul
and Camma Fowler and little
Paul. Paul was real thrilled over
his toy motorcycle, which
helps him identify with his
father.
He wanted me to sit down
in a new chair that has an
ottoman. I sat down, and he
started taking off my shoes.
He is crazy about Carter
Tanner, who babysits for him
some. He calls her “Mama,”
and at first called her “Grand
mama.” Carter is, of course, an
attractive young member of
the teen-age set.
Camma and I took gifts
from the Sunday School class
to Mrs. Grace Colbert at Cres
well Nursing Home in Rome.
Mrs. Colbert was wearing a
pretty navy blue dress with a
purple corsage and was sitting
in the living room when we
arrived. It was certainly nice
seeing her looking so well.
An unexpected call came
from Miss Ruby O’Rear of
Mentone, Ala., who called to
wish me a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year. It is always
good to hear from her.
Yes, it has been a quiet, but
busy, holiday season for me.
It is a time to mull over the
past year, taking a quick in
ventory of events, and then
looking forward to a new and
better New Year.
May God bless and keep
you and yours in the New Year
of 1973.
