Sally Wilson Introduces Grits,
Marshmallows To British Teeners
Miss Sally Wilson, granddaugh
ter of the late Dr. and Mrs. 11.
R. Slaton of Jackson, is the sub
ject of a feature story by Mary
Martin in The Atlanta Times of
Saturday, August 22. She is the
daughter of H. Leon Wilson Jr.,
of Skyland Drive, Atlanta, and
the late Mrs. Wilson, the former
Miss Sara Slaton of Jackson.
Sally, who will be a senior at
Auburn this September, was
selected to work with “The Win
ant Volunteers” in England this
summer. The story tells of her
life as a volunteer working with
children in a settlement house in
Birmingham, England.
The transplanted Southerner’s
activities include teaching arts
and crafts, taking city-bred chil
dren camping to meet the de
lights of nature and the English
climate and counseling them on
teenage problems.
Before her first campout with
her teenagers on a Welsh farm,
Sally rushed downtown in Birm
ingham to buy some sturdy blue
jeans, which she had forgotten
to pack in the haste of leaving.
When they arrived at the farm
and were dressing in their out
door clothes, she was dismayed to
find that her jeans had bell-bot
tom flare reminiscent of the
Royal Navy, instead of the slim
Western look favored in America.
Meeting her duties at the set
tlement house with American
ingenuity, Sally decided to con
duct a marshmallow roast for her
teenagers. A letter home for a
package of mashmallows and two
boxes of grits brought a touch
of home and introduced American
food to the teenagers. Of the
American goodies, Sally wrote
her grandmother, Mrs. Homer
Wilson, “The children were wild
over the toasted marshmallows,
but the grits haven’t gone over!”
Since going over in June as a
part of “The Winants,” named
for the American ambassador to
Wartime England, John Winant,
who had the idea that American
young people could help both
their fellow men and internation
al understanding by doing some
thing for less fortunate people
overseas, Sally has acted as a
chaperone to her youngsters on
field trips, taken several groups
camping and “pot-holing” (Brit
ish for cave-exploring) and got
ten in some interesting tours of
her own.
One memorable event for “The
Winants” was the garden party
given by Queen Mother Elizabeth
at her home in London the last
week in June. Also, she was in
troduced to Princess Margaret
and her husband, Lord Snowden,
at the International Folk Festival
in Llongollen Wales in July.
When summer comes to a close
Sally intends to take a vacation
before coming back to school.
With three friends, she will visit
Belgium, German, Italy and Swit
zerland before a final weekend
in Paris.
In spite of her failure with the
grits and blue jeans, Sally s
English summer has been worth
while and valuable, she hopes to
the English teenager, as well as
to herself. She feels that she has
gained in understanding by living
“in depth” in another country.

RABIES DEFENSE
The best defense against wild

Extension veterinary department,
is to widen the buffer zone be

said, by vaccination of all dogs
and the maintenance of a strict
stray dog control program.
