A GARDENER’S WISHBOOK
by FRANCIS MEEKS
There was a time in the rural south when the Sears,
Roebuck Catalogue held a place of importance in the home
just under that of the Holy Bible, We called it the “Wishbook”
in our family.
Who hasn’t spent many hours reading it and studying
the photographs and illustrations while toasting precious
shoe leather before the fire?
Those were the days when a good book was a prized
family possession.
With today’s means of transportation and communication
could we evolve into a nation of non-readers? Could we
then become non-thinkers and non-wishers? Is this time not
fast approaching?
I’ve found a new wishbook. It isn’t as thick, and not
nearly so practical, and of course it can’t save the nation,
but it could help. “Park’s Flower Book” is the name of
my discovery.
Request via postal card to George W. Park Seed Co., Inc.,
Greenwood, South Carolina, 29646, and you’ll be placed on
their mailing list. Share my wishbook with me.
Imagine 150 different varieties of petunia, over 75 var
ieties of zinnia, and 50 kinds of marigold. Did you know
sunflowers come in red and white? You could choose from
ten described. Spring will come and most likely you’ll still
be undecided.
Once you’ve experienced gardener’s dirt in your shoes,
you’ll agree with Park’s slogan that ‘Half the fun is in the
growing.’

R. H. Super-
Carnival Is
Big Success
The wind blew, the rain turn
ed from a mist to a steady
downpour, the crepepaper
streamers sagged and dripped
orange and black dye into the
mud, the hand-decorated back
grounds ripped, little boys
frowned and little girls sighed
—but not for very long.
The booths were quickly salv
aged and moved indoors, chil
dren were reassured and the
carnival went on as scheduled.
Whole families lined up to be
served steaming spaghetti with
salad and Mrs. McCaller’s luci
ous hot rolls with real butter
and plenty of iced tea or coffee.
Desserts tempted calorie-count
ers, while wide-eyed youngsters
consumed some of everything in
sight from apple pie to whipped
cream topped chocolate cake.
Gayly costumed children
gathered around to participate
in the many activities, and in
spite of the weather it seems
the annual Halloween Carnival
couldn't have turned out better.

Variety Show
Staged At
R. H. School
A large group of parents,
along with students and teach
ers, assembled the last hour of
school Friday to enjoy an un
usual Halloween program.
As the curtain opened it re
vealed Miss Henderson’s first
graders costumed as animals
surrounding ‘Old MacDonald’
busily working on his farm. The
children sang and acted out this
favorite old song.
Mrs. Bennett’s first grade
was next in line with an orig
inal moon skit. It’s an accepted
fact that the little people can
usually manage to steal the
show, and Friday’s performance
was no exception.
Both second grades pooled
their allotted time to act out a
song entitled ‘Funny Things
Happen on Halloween.’
Miss Sepion’s third graders
took their turn before the foot
lights next, appearing front
and center as pumpkin carolers.
To the delight of everyone, they
sang Halloween songs written
to the tune of popular Christ
mas carols.
Mrs. Boles’ section of third
grade entertained with a choral
reading, ‘Halloween Fun.’
Representing Mrs. Lamond’s
fourth grade were three of the
most charming little witches to
be seen anywhere this Hallo
ween. Identifying these chil
dren was no easy task, but in
side information disclosed them
to be Teresa Williams, Janet
Widener and Barbara Carpen
ter.
Mrs. N i c h o 1 s’ sixth grade,
group acted out a poem called
‘Halloween Sights.’ The cos
tumes of clever design were
created by the children them
selves.
Representing grade seven
was a ballet troupe resplendent
in matching silver and white
costumes. Young ladies com
posing the troupe were Julie
Foster, Joanne Estes and Pam
White.
Mrs. Meeks’ ninth grade
homeroom presented an origin
al skit ‘Something New for
Halloween’, written by Deborah
Shuman. The star performer
was a magical cat called Whisk
ers played by Nell Lamond. A
closer look showed the Hallo
ween kitty to be wearing a
shirt emblazoned with an emb
lem featuring the school’s mas
cot, the wildcat.
10-B showed ‘Fashions from
Paris’, narrated by Suzanne
Foster. When the models ap
peared, the audience reacted
with wild enthusiasm. Beneath
all the powder, paint, stylish
wigs and feminine frills were
really Roy Anderson, Lamar
Findley, Billy Bashlor, David
Whitfield, Danny Smith and
Tim James. Paris originals —
indeed!
The eleventh grade skit end
ed the delightful hour. Maria
Myers and Sharon Bennett per
formed a clever routine ending
with the audience joining in the
chorus of ‘Those Were the
Days.’
All agreed it was a day to
remember.

“The computer generates
information which helps us
make decisions and take
actions to assure that we have
a sound and well-balanced
business,” said Hix H. Green
Jr., company president. “The
result is less paperwork, better
customer relations and closer
control over our profits and

Green said the computer
also has made it easier for
management to keep pace
with the company, which has
had a sales volume increase of
60 per cent over the past two
years.
“Our sales have increased
because we have done a better
job in managing our
operations while improving
our relations with customers,”
Green said. “We have enough
reports coming from the
computer so that we are able
to pill down and analyze any
trouble spots and correct
them.”

GEORGIA EGG COMMISSION |Si|K
MISS MILDRED HUFF, HOME ECONOMIST MM—
Hi folks! I’m the new Geor
gia Egg Commission eggspert
Home Economist You might re
member Joan, the author of our
last year’s feature, JOAN’S
JOTTINGS. Well, she has moved
to the big city, Washington, D.
C. So I’ll be writing this column
from now on.
In addition to liking eggs,
Joan and I have a similar heri
tage — we both were born in
Georgia and eggueated at the
University of Georgia. I took
advantage of my home town’s
offerings and began study at
West Georgia College ’til they
discontinued my major. Leaving
Carrollton I transferred to the
University. I also spent some
time at Emerson College in Bos
ton, Mass, to add radio and tele
vision education to my diploma
marked “B.S. in Home Econom
ics: Education and Journalism.”
After graduation I set up
M.ss Georgia Dairies’ Home
Economics program. In 1966 I
established the “northern office”
(Atlanta) of the Florida Board
of Conservation, Seafood Mar
keting Department.
This year when the Georgia
Egg Commission asked if I’d
like to promote eggs, I said,
“You bet!” and immediately
started practicing with pies, cus
tards, cheesecakes, popovers and
other such goodies. After about
a month I realized I’d better
switch to hard-cooked eggs or
lightly poached on dry toast —
unless I intended to become an
eggspert on making my ward
robe fit a jumbo egg-shaped
figure.
My folks are Dr. and Mrs.
Perry N. Huff. They still live
in Carrollton. They are current
ly trying to get the other 4
children through Junior High,
High School and College while
maintaining their sanity—that
is if 1 left them with any.
, Enough about my background
and on to these “Eggcellent
Ideas.” My boss, Roger Mcln
tosh, Executive Secretary for j
the Egg Commission, decided :
advance '1 he Daily Operating
Control keeps management
advised of these goals and how
close we are to them.”
Green said information
generated by the 1130 enables
the management to spot
trends on such thing> as the
amount of service performed,
and whether the service was
on external sales or
manufacturer’s warranty. A
record also is kept on the
exact number of claims, parts
used, labor changes and service
orders written for customers
on a daily, monthly and
year-to-date basis.
Under programs for parts
inventory control, the
computer is fed information
on parts used from tickets
written when an auto is
repaired or serviced. Parts used
are automatically removed
from inventory by the
conqiuter, which then prints
orders for replacements each
week to keep the supply
constant.
The computer also keeps
track of parts by their
frequency of use and prints
lists of those considered
obsolete.

"FINEST FOOD AT LOWEST PRICES"
If You Con Find It Anywhere. We. Move. H
you folks probably wouldn’t
want to read about eggs all the
time.
Although, that would have
made it super easy for me to
write since we have lota of
books, pamphlets and notes al
ready composed on the subject.
He thought this fancy title
would let me write about any
thing — eggs and shells, pots
and parties, recipes, first aid,
kitchen hints. You name it!
Though 1 am the eggspert, 1
must admit my memory isn’t
the best nor am I old enough,
admittedly, to remember when
one could buy breakfast for a
dime and "candling” referred to
using a tallow candle to check
an egg’s interior instead of an
electric light. So—you name it,
you send me some eggcellent
ideas (or recipes or questions)
and I’ll just have the printer
put them in this column too.
Okay?
Speaking of what goes in this
column, I’d best get on to the
egg point of the day. In these
times of fast moving seasons
and new fangled ideas, you can
remember this ancient fact —
“Eggs should be stored pointed
. end down.” This keeps them
fresh longer.
Good fresh eggs are still a
I basic building material in the
■ castle of cookery. Any Queen of
' the castle knows Georgia eggs
' are always plentiful. We’re the
Ind largest producer in the
Jnited States!
The Georgia Egg Producers
want to help you get the most
from the eggs you buy. They’re
paying my salary and telling me
co give you the words on eggs.
So that’s what I’m gonna do—
send out good information and
recipes and even tell you bad
egg news, if any happens.
Whenever you have questions,
suggestions or ideas, I’ll be
here. (Miss) Mildred Huff, Home
