This time it’s “Sugar Busters!" The book makes being trim sound painless. “Meats are a basic in the “Sugar Busters!" way of eating; not necessarily fat meats, but trimmed, lean meats. To stay slim, however, eating a patty of ground beef or ham burger steak with a salad and a green vegetable is better than eating chicken with a baked potato or fish with corn on the cob and slices or rolls of white bread.” The following recipe from the book is one to get us started in the meat category: Cajun Pot Roast For beef, pork, lamb, veni son, duck, dove, quail, or yes, even a mixture of the above! Meat of your choice Italian salad dressing Olive oil Mixed seasoning Black pepper 4 oz. water Marinate your roast or birds in Italian salad dressing for 2 hours or even overnight. Use an appropriate-size plastic bag to reduce the amount of dress ing required; about half of a large bottle is usually plenty. Cover the bottom of an iron Dutch oven with about 1/8 inch of olive oil. Turn heat to high and brown meat on all sides. Sprinkle moderately to heavily with mixed seasoning and black pepper. Add about 4 oz. of water, and if you want a richer gravy, add a portion of the marinade. Cover immediately; turn heat to low so liquid drops to a slow bubbling. Cook large roasts for 3 hours and small roasts or fowl for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

On the road for Christ Perry couple planning mission trip to Africa By CHARLOTTE PERKINS Home .lourmac Staff when Samuel and Sherri Bixler, and tEeir little son, Christian, leave for Ghana later this month, they’ll be travelling on a slender budget made up of donations from many Christian friends and funds Sam has raised through a unique line of work making ani mals of balloons and entertaining both chil dren and adults in local restaurants and at Macon Whoopee games. The two will serve as missionaries with the Family Care Foundation., a non-denomina tional Christian mission which helps where help is needed most working with the poor and responding to disasters of all kinds. Sherri Bixler, a native of Jamaica, who has spent much of her life in the mission field as -th** child of missionaries, says that much of their work will be in personal witnessing, but they will also go “wherever there’s a need" to help in humanitarian efforts and relief work. Sam. the son of Herb and Delores Bixler, has been in mission work for four years. “I’m just some body who loves ihe Lord and wants to make a difference in the world,” he says. They have made one mis sion trip already a year and a half stint in Mex ico where they worked in areas of extreme pover ty. In Ghana, they will join a mission center in Accra. For those who want to donate to this venture, or learn more about the Bixlers' plans, the family can be -reached at 987-9858. the Guerras will be the speakers. A special offering will be taken on Sunday night for the Maranatha church and ministry. Phelps said, “I don’t know of two pastors who are doing so much with so little of this world’s resources. By choice, they live in a very poor section of Reynosa and are ministering Jesus to people in a loving, unselfish and powerful way. “Not only do they minister to their flock’s spiritual needs, but they often help witfi clothing and other material needs," he said. Club advisors are Susan Pierce and Beverly Todd. The Junior Civitan Club is a service organization involving school and community projects and South Georgia District and Junior Civitan International pro jects.
