Thursday and Friday of last week
I spent eight hours in a local food
store talking to Hoke citizens about
Extension Teletip and giving them
a booklet that contains the toll free
number to call and a listing of over
300 topics with their tape number.
This is a quick easy way to obtain
information on homemaking,
farming and parenting. If you have
not gotten this booluet we invite
you to come by the Extension
Office and pick up one or call
875-2162 and one will be mailed to
you. My favorite tapes are 1101
which is updated even, two weeks.
This tape gives you the best food
buys of the week. Tape number 5
will ^ive you a recipe usinga food
that is on the best food list. This too
is updated every two weeks.
Eighteen boys and girls attended
three days of cooking classes. This
was a great Rtoup of voung people,
and they prepared some interesting
good food. If your child did not
attend this year, begin thinking of
encouraging him or her to attend
on a teachers' work day or next
summer.
MICROWAVE ACCESSORIES
Microwave manufacturer's esti
mate that new appliance owners
spend about fifty dollars on ac
cessories.
Are these accessories necessary?
Well, maybe. But often you can
find equally effective substitutes on
your kitchen shelf.
Let's take the bacon rack as an
example. The bacon rack is de
I
signed to catch grease run-off. But
you can achieve the same effect by
Voiding a paper plate in halt' and
wedging it. pointed side up. in a
glass baking dish. Drape your
bacon strips over the paper plate
and let them cook. To reduce
splattering, drape a paper towel
over the bacon.
Another popular microwave oven
accessory is the baking ring. To
make a substitute, just place an
inverted custard cup or small
drinking glass in the center of a
round baking dish.
SAFE CANNED FOODS
With canning season in full
swing, you're probably looking at
the jars of canned food left from
last year. And you're probably
wondering, is this food still safe to
eat?
In most cases, canned foods can
be stored for up to one year and still
maintain their highest quality. But
there are some if s. The rules apply
only if the food was canned
properly, if the seal was good, and
if the food shows no signs of
spoilage.
To help you decide whether or
not to use canned foods that have
been stored for a year or more, ask
yourself these questions. Do I know
who canned the food? Do 1 know
how the food was processed? Are
the lids and rings clean, free from
rust and tightly sealed? Has this jar
of food been stored in a cool, dry
place? Does the food look good? If
you can answer "yes" to all those
questions, you may consider using
the food.
However, if you see any signs of
spoilage: bulging lids, lots of
cloudiness, gas bubbles, mush
food. mold, unnatural color or
unnatural odor, throw the food out.
If the food seems good, heat
vegetables or low acid foods for 15
to 20 minutes before tasting them.
Then, if there are still no signs of
spoilage, such as off-odors or
foaming, you may decide the food
is safe to eat.
From the
Superintendent's Desk
by Raz Autry
Margaret Bratcher
I am more comfortable when I
write about children and feelings
from my heart. Today I write from
my heart.
Those of us who work in the
central office of the Hoke County
Board of Education have lost a
true, dear friend. We lost a
compassionate, dedicated. Christ
ian woman. God, in His great
wisdom, chose not to interfere in
the physical process that ended her
life. It has been evident for
sometime that, without His inter
ference. the inevitable end we all
face was coming sooner for Mar
garet than the average normal life
span.
Margaret Bratcher was a re
markable woman and a unique
human being. To know her was to
love her. Shortly after 1 became
superintendent a vacancy occurred
in my office for a secretary /book
keeper. All of the secretaries
recommended Margaret Bratcher
who at that time was serving as
secretary to Clara Pope, Director of
School Food Service. During these
last eight years we have had the
opportunity to observe one of the
most dedicated people I have
known and one who exemplified all
the traits God wanted in his human
creations.
There are several things Mar
garet was not: She was not a talker;
a racist, a complainer; a slacker.
She w?s a doer; a first-class
Christian; a first-class human be
ing; a helper; a fine mother and
faithful wife; a peacemaker. She
was one of God's children Christ
spoke of when he said "Blessed are
the peacemakers for they are God's
children."
One of my co-workers ap
proached me last week about
Margaret's illness and her obvious
approaching death. He said, "It
just isn't fair. Look at all the people
who have lived to a ripe old age and
never made any contribution to
mankind, yet Margaret must die
when her life is in its prime." I
made a statement to him that is fast
becoming a conviction. Human
beings in their limited ability do not
have the capacity to know what is in
God's mind. We could surmise that
he is saying to those who die young,
as he said to Margaret, come on
home. 1 will give you your reward
early.
Those of us who knew and loved
Margaret thank God for this jewel
of a woman.
We thank Him for giving us the
opportunity to witness true Christ
ianity in action.
Our lives are richer and fuller for
having known her.
Pack 404 Has Family Day
Saturday was Family Day at
Camp Rockfish for Pack 404.
Parents and Cubs enioved a dav
of picnicing, swimming, and
canoeing or hiking.
Each family packed its own
lunch and gathered with the others
at the picnic grounds where awards
were presented as the first order of
business.
Terrence Jones received a re
cruiter strip. Tom Scarborough
won his Aquanaut badge. Out
doors man. Sportsman and Two
Year pin. Ron Parsons worked
hard for his Webelos, and Citizen
badges. Naturalist and Scholar.
John Richards received his Ar
row of Light award (the highest a
Cub can win), Outdoorsman and a
Three Year pin. He also was
inducted into the Boy Scouts.
Jason Flowers received his Out
doorsman.
Some of the Cubs who attended
Day Camp at St. Andrews College
in Laurinburg July 20-24 told
others what they did during that
week. Almost all the staff were r
from Pack 404, and of the 38 boys
attending, Pack 404 made up about
half.
At Family Day after lunch,
swimming and canoeing, and safety
were explained.
