Does a red sunset actually
tell us anything about tomor
row’s weather? The old saying
is frequently heard about a red
sky at the end of the day-that
it means clear, cold weather.
In practically all sections of
the United States the prevailing
direction of the movement of
the gas layer circling the earth
(the weather) is west to east.
Today’s weather was actually
over some point westward
yesterday-probably several
hundred miles away.
If the sun sets red, that
means dry. dusty air is toward
the west, between the viewer
and the sun-hence the red
color. If the air to the west is
dry and dusty and is moving
toward the viewer, it will be
overhead in coming hours.
Chances are the weather will be
fair in the immediate future.
The reason for assuming a
red sunset means cold weather
lies in the fact that clearing
weather usually follows the
passage of a cold front. In the
winter months, most of the
fronts are cold and, thus, more
often than not, a clear weather
sign occurs behind a cold front.
Farmers'
Outlook
Santa may have to wear
shorts this year, but Georgia
farmers can look forward to
warmer, drier weather in order
to complete harvesting and late
land preparations.
Temperatures are expected
to average above normal from
now until mid-January, says
meteorologists with the
National Weather Service at
Auburn, Ala.
Afternoon highs are ex
pected to rise to the upper 50s
to mid 60s across the state.
Mid 30s should be the night
time low.
Total rainfall is expected to
fall below the 3- to 5-inch aver
age for the 30-day period.
Poultry and other livestock
will also appreciate the break
in cold weather, so farmers
should have less cold stress.
Problems with moisture build
up in poultry houses is ex
pected to decrease during the
next 30 days.

Williamson. They are missed this Christmas, but they are not
forgotten. They are at home with God in Heaven. This poem is in
their memory.
HEAVEN AT LAST
Angel voices sweetly singing.
Echoes through the blue dome ringing,
News of wondrous gladness bringing,
Ah, 'tis Heaven at last!
On the jasper threshold standing.
Like a pilgrim safely landing;
See. the strange bright scene expanding,
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!
Sin forever left behind us,
Earthly visions cease to blind us,
Earthly fetters cease to bind us;
Ah, 'tis heaven at last!
Not a teardrop ever falleth.
Not a pleasure ever palleth.
Song to song forever calleth;
Ah,"tis Heaven at last!
Christ himself the living splendor,
Christ the sunlight mild and tender;
Praises to the Lamb we render:
Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!

Wise Buyer Spends Time
At Grocer’s Meat Dept.
Looking for Best Buys
Meat may account for as
much as one-third of the aver
age family food budget,
according to Professor Heinz B.
Biesdorf of Cornell University,
the major author of “Be a
Better Shopper-Buying in
Supermarkets.’’ This is why it
makes good sense to get all the
information possible about
cutting costs in this important
area of food buying.
Stores almost always feature
several types and cuts of meat
in their weekly food ads in the
newspapers. Often, poultry or
fish is also specialized. Fortu
nately, most stores have more
than one kind of meat on
special-and different stores
offer different specials, which
is a good reasons to shop in at
least two stores.
Meats in the supermarket
are easier to identify since the
Uniform Meat Identity Stand
ards program has been volun
tarily adopted by many super
markets. This meat labeling
program standardizes the infor
mation provided on meat
labels. The kind of meat is
stated first—beef, pork, lamb,
etc. Next, the label gives the
name of the wholesale cut-rib,
loin, flank of the animal-and
the exact retail cut—blade
roast, loin chop, round steak,
etc. Fancy names such as
“paradise roast,” “chuckwagon
steak,” or “daisy steak,” which
are meaningless to most
consumers, may still be used,
but only in conjunction with
approved names.
Some supermarkets even go
a step farther and give infor
mation on how to prepare the
meat. In the case of “beef
chuck, blade roast,” the label
might say “braise cook in
liquid,” indicating that the
meat must be cooked slowly to
make it tender.
Professor Biesdorf recom
mends do-it-yourself meat
cutting for money savings. The
way meat and poultry are cut
affects the price, and a whole
fryer almost always costs less
than a cut-up one. Fryers are
simply constructed, with two
legs, a breast, a neck and a
back. If the savings on a whole
fryer is 10 cents a pound,
that’s a 30-cent savings on just
one chicken. “Be a Better
Shopper-Buying in Super
markets” also includes a chart
that will help consumers decide
when individual chicken parts
are as good a bargain, in terms
of the amount of edible meat,
as the whole chicken.
Wise choices in buying meat
and non-meat protein foods are
only part of the system pro
posed by Professor Biesdorf in
“Be a Better Shopper-Buying
in Supermarkets.” For the
maximum possible savings at
the supermarket, between 10
and 15 percent, all the sug
gestions in “Be a Better
Shopper” should be followed.
