Maybe you think you’ve been
losing weight in the waistline
because the clothes you make
fit loosly. Don’t be fooled. The
re’s a good reason.
Patterns are growing. Yes,
it’s true, patterns made within
the past few months are larger
in the waist—larger by a whole
inch on basic body measure
ments in all women’s sizes
except Junior petite, which has
expanded only one-half inch.
It’s been the best kept secret
in the market. We can thank Ma
rgie Mclntyre, University Ex
tension clothing specialist, for
revealing the size switch in her
last issue of Clothing and Tex
tiles Update.
Otherwise, the only way you
could find out would be to check
your own measurements against

SPRING FABRICS
Margie also lets us in on
what's happening in fabrics for
spring ‘73. She says the natural
look that’s been with us for quite
some time in grooming is now
spreading to fabric.
Linen looks should be plenti
ful in all markets from knits
to wovens. Slubs, nubs and spe
ckles of flax are blended with
other fibers. Far Eastern fla
vors of cheese-cloth gauze and
madras are frontrunners on the
spring scene. Batiks, also are
back.
Pontelle knits give a new look
for spring to the already pop
ular knit fabric. Open, lacy and
cool, they come in plain, ribbed,
striped and patterned effects.
THE SHOE TREE
( VMM Ist;, GEORGIA
The University home econo
mist uses complimentary words
for seersucker “seasonal,
sensational and saturating all
markets.” Plaid, striped, che
cked, woven or knitted—real or
fabricated-- it’s going to be a
seersucker spring.
Spring fabric surfaces will
take on some texture with flo
cking, eyelets and embroider
ies. More subtle surface inter
est is achieved in laces, den
ims, shantungs, chambrays and
cords.
SAVE THAT PATTERN
Staying on the subject of ho me
sewing, here’s a handy tip to
preserve that favorite pattern
of yours. Any seamstress knows
only too well how easy it is to
tear a fragile pattern.
You can save the pattern, and
the temper too, by tracing each
piece on one of the new pro
ducts provided especially for
this purpose. Several com
panies make a non-tearable,
tissue thin product. You can get
it in most fabric stores.
Simply trace the pattern,
transferring all notches, grain
lines and other details onto the
durable material. Then cut out
the new patterns and use them
just like the originals.

clusion in the Georgia Heritage
Trust Fund Program.
Mistletoe State Park
Gets New Cottages
Five new additional duplex
cottages for families will be op
ened in April at Mistletoe State
Park on Clark Hill Reservoir
near Appling, Georgia, in Col
umbia County. This was annou
nced by Henry Struble, Dir
ector, Division of Parks and Re
creation, Georgia Department
of Natural Resources.
The new duplex cottages will
have a bedroom, kitchen and
bath on each side. One living
room with fireplace will be a
vailable for joint use when the
cottage is occupied by two fam
ilies. A family may rent the en
tire cottage or one side of the
cottage and the living room for
exclusive use. Each has central
heating and air conditioning.
Four persons can be accom
modated overnight in each side
of each cottage with an addi
tional two persons accommo
dated overnight if the living
room is utilized for sleeping.
Collards Cause Frustration
Southern collards caused “a
fit of utter frustration” in York
shire, England, earlier this
month.
Mrs. J. Lomax of Yorkshire,
writing the Georgia Department
of Education, noted that although
her native “Yorkshire is a pro
gressive town,” none of its pu
blic library volumes, residents
with degrees in English litera
ture, or “even a visiting tea
cher from Montana” were able
to explain what collards are.
Mrs. Lomax recently came a
cross the term in two novels
which describe United States
southern life. She recalled
that in “To Kill A Mocking
bird” a character was warned
to “watch out for the swishing
collards.” In “Gone With the
Wind” the heroine remem
bered days at Tara when the
“table (was) laden with food,
fried chicken at one end, huge
hams at the other, and in the
center, a bowl of collards,
The Georgia Heritage Trust
Program initiated by Governor
Carter in July, 1972, is intended
to preserve and protect the
“vital** elements of Georgia’s
natural and historical heritage.
sl7 million has been re
quested by the Governor to
purchase these "vital” areas.
$2.1 million of the sl7 million
is to be used by local govern
ments to assist in the pro
vision of local park and re
creation needs.
James Fisher, Planning Di
rector for the Georgia Moun
tains Area Planning and Devel
opment Commision, stated,
"The Program is geared to pre
serve unspoiled and unique
river’ swamps, coastal islands,
rare plant and animal habitats,
virgin forests, geological for
mations, and other outstanding
natural areas.”
Fisher also stated, "Indian
mounds, battle sites, fortificat
ions, prohistoric sites, artifact
sites, and historic homes are
some of the historical and
archaeological sites the pro
gram wishes to preserve.”
The Heritage Program also
includes a provision for cer
tain compatible recreational
uses of these sites. However,
the major utility of the areas
when developed will be in the
areas of education, science,
and scenic value.
Fisher emphasized the need
for local participation in in
forming the Georgia Depart
ment of Natural Resources,
Georgia Heritage Trust Staff
of these areas at the Regional
Meeting. He said that informa
tion forms will be provided
so that people knowing of these
type sites will be able to pro
vide the Department of Natur
al Resources with the informa
tion needed.
Only with the cooperation and
participation of the area resi
dents, can this program have
any hope of being successful.
“It is vital that individuals,
who know their own areas best,
contribute their knowledge and
let their feelings be known a
bout sites with Heritage poten
tials for future Georgians. By
attending the Regional Work
shop, area residents can have
their input into the Georgia
Heritage Trust Program” sta
ted Fisher.

Georgia Heritage Trust Fund
Program may be obtained by

for $12.00 per day for two per
sons plus $2.00 per day for each
additional adult. Rent for one
side of the duplex less living
room for the first two adults
will be SB.OO per day plus
$2.00 per day for each additional

quid.” As a result of the
latter passage, Mrs. Lomax
wrote, “I assumed collards is
something edible.”
Mrs. Lomax’s letter reached
the desk of Carlton Thaxton,
director, public library ser
vices division, Georgia Depart
ment of Education. He duplica
ted pages from several books in
the department of education lib
rary which described the “stri
ctly southern vegetable.” He
mailed these along with copies
of pages from a few regional
cookbooks which gave collards
recipes.

With typical southern hospi
tality, Thaxton also included in
his response a package of col
lards seeds, with the advice
• ‘please dis regard the picture of
the butter on the seed envelope.,
the only way to season collards
is with bacon drippings or ham
hock.”
