Cook school set for Appling, Evans

The Home Demonstration Council of Columbia County is sponsoring two Cooking Schools and asking that the public make plans to attend one or both of these schools.

The first session will be held at Evans on Tuesday, March 6, in the Evans School lunch room at 7:30 p.m. The second will be held at the Appling School on Thursday, March 8, at 7:30 p.m.

Miss Evelyn Hagler, specialist with the Georgia Power Company, will conduct the cooking schools, and Mrs. Lillian Pace, home improvement specialist, Miss Dorris Wheeler, Power Company district home economist, and Mr. L.D. Olivers, company salesman, will assist Miss Hagler.

A small admission fee will be charged, and there will be prizes for the winners.

Richard Albert is spelling champ

Richard Albert, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Albert of Grovetown, won the spelling championship at Harlem High School. This is the initial step that leads toward the selection of the national champion at Washington, D.C.

The National Spelling Bee is sponsored in Georgia by The Atlanta Journal and will give a $25 "E" Savings Bond to each county winner.
