The People's Food Buying
Club of Athens is as much a
community group dedicated
to the ideal of cooperation as
it is a money-saving venture,
club members say.
The cooperative meets
twice monthly, once to order
the large quantities of food
and. several days later, to
divide and distribute it.
Current membership in
cludes 15 to 20 active buyers
and is made up of
representatives from
various professions.
The group purchases
everything from dairy
products and produce, to
seaweed and granola from
several stores and
warehouses in the Atlanta
area, including Mathis
Dairies, and. occasionally,
tram the members them
selves
They say they are attracted
by the group's friendliness
and the opportunities it
provides.
“I enjoy getting together
with the other folks," says
member Pam Currin. “It is
more fun than going to the
grocery store. "
Half of the members are
vegetarian, and all avoid
preservatives, additives,
artificial colors and ar
tificial flavors The type of
food ordered by People’s is
popularly called "health
food,” but a more apt term is
"healthy food." says board
member Andy Burke
The five-member board of
directors meets twice a
month to settle any policy
problems and to plan the
agenda for membership
meetings, held once every
few months to discuss
possible improvements.
The People's Food Buying
Club was started in 1974 in a
former member's home, and
by 1976, moved into a store
front location downtown.
The club relocated in Nor-
maltown, staffed by
volunteers until January
Groymyko celebrates birthday
MOSCOW AP) — Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko
turned 75 Wednesday, at the
peak of a 45-year diplomatic
career and by some accounts
in firm control of the
Kremlin's foreign policy
The* Soviet government
marked the occasion by
presenting Gromyko with an
Order of Lenin — the
nation's highest award — to
add to his collection of at
least five of the medals
The forbidding, dour faced
diplomat, who aims his fiery
rhetoric at the United States
and its policies, outlasted
four Kremlin leaders to
become the longest-serving
foreign minister in the
world

1982, when it folded for lack
of volume and work force
The group then resumed
private operations as a
buying club and has suc
cessfully continued
The club has recently
begun buying non-food
products also, including food
supplements, vitamins,
cookbooks, glassware,
enamelware, soaps and
cosmetics.
Burke says the product
line expands with increases
in cooperation, but most of
the activity centers on food
products, including grains,
juices, fruits, vegetables,
organic snacks, pasta, nut
butters, yogurt, textured
vegetable protein, oils,
syrups, preserves and many
others
Participation has been
seasonal in the past with a
low point in the summer, but
membership has in
creased this summer,
Burke says
Because the food must be
ordered in prescribed units,
members are perfectly
willing to drop their orders
or buy extra units when
numbers don't come out the
first time

bargain on some roadside

Mom*s not run-of-the-mill
By LOR1E BROWN
K«1 and Mack Stall Writer
How do people describe
the Mother of the Year? For
her children, one said, "she
exemplifies a model to live
by." However they describe
her, Pat Hamilton is no run-
of-the-mill mom.
Hamilton, of Toccoa,
1984 s national Mother of the
Year, is a mother of four
boys and three girls who
have all attended the
University at one time or the
other. Since her husband's
death in 1966, Hamilton has
been both mother and father
to her family In addition,
she is also a registered
nurse, now working as an
occupational health nurse at
Coats and Clarke textile mill
in Toccoa.
Mary Hamilton, 24, a
senior in the business school,
and Tom Hamilton. 26, a
second-year law student, are
currently enrolled in the
University.
Although some families
might buckle under difficult
circumstances, Pat
Hamilton said she and her
husband believed "In
walking into the wind with
your head up. If we had
allowed ourselves to become
defeated, we never would
have made it," she added
The Toccoa Women's Club
and Junior Women’s Club
nominated her for Mother of
the Year. The American
Mothers Inc., the
organization which picks the
Mother of the Year, asked
Hamilton to prepare a
portfolio, including a
description of her kids and
her philosophy on being a
parent
Officials chose Hamilton
out of 14 mothers to
represent the state. In May,
she won national Mother of
the Year award, from a
group of 49 mothers. Pat
Hamilton said she was
surprised. "I was among so
many mothers who were so
accomplished," she added.
Hamilton's family was not
surprised, however. “We see
it as something we've
always known," Tom
Hamilton said. “Mom has
always supported us in
everything we've done, as
long as we do our best,"
Mary Hamilton added
deals on fresh honey and
blueberries. Burke says they
are also “not afraid to speak
up if we find a good deal at
Winn Dixie.”
"We consider ourselves an
alternative com
munity., working together to
pull off a physical job. We
get off on that," he says.
