Home Management Program Has
Made Much Progress in Year
The Home Management Pro
gram of the Upper Ocmulgee
Economic Opportunity Commis
sion, Inc. has come a long way
since it was begun in September
of 1966.
Under the direction of Home
Economist Mrs. Nan B. Watkins,
Forsyth, there is one team leader
and twelve aides working on the
program in Butts, Monroe and
Newton Counties. The aides were
hired from low income groups to
aid low income families in num
erous ways. All the aides re
ceived 200 hours of instruction
from a Home Economist in home
management and preparation of
United States Department of Ag
riculture donated food, a program
that is also conducted by Upper
Ocmulgee Economic Opportunity
Commission, Inc. The aides were
instructed in general information
about Social Security, Medicare
and health problems.
The Departments of Family and
Children Services in the three
counties certify eligibles to re
ceive the donated food. The aides
visit in the homes of all the fam
ilies certified and give them reci
pes and measurements. Several
cooking classes and demonstra
tions have been held in churches
and homes of the families. In the
photograph, Mrs. Alberta Hol
land, Mrs. Tommie Johnson, Mrs.
Willie May Reeves and Mrs. Car
rie Lamar are receiving instruc
tions for making and measuring
ingredients for a cake.
The aides in Butts County,
with the assistance of C. B.
Brown, Jr., Mayor of Jackson,
are now in the process of form
ing three playgrounds in Jackson,
Flovilla and Indian Springs. Land
has been donated by interested
citizens. Equipment for the play
grounds will be donated. The land
for the playgrounds are being
cleared and cleaned by adults
from low income groups who are
proud of the chance to help their
children.
The aides in Butts County have
started a campaign to beautify
the county. They are visiting
homes, holding meetings and urg
ing families to clean up their
yards and get rid of junk, trash
and old cars. The families are
already responding to this en
deavor of the aides.
Upper Ocmulgee Economic Op
portunity Commission, Inc. is
very proud of the accomplish
ments of their aides and wish to
request the cooperation of every
one in the three counties to assist
them when they can. The aides
have been welcomed into the
homes of both races and the re
sults have been very satisfac
tory.

The Most Hopeful
Of The Hopeless
Leukemia is a fatal disease of
the tissues that produce blood. It
now claims about 13,000 victims
a year, 231 here in Georgia in
1965, many of them children.
The death rate has tripled in
the last quarter century. Theories
of the cause include certain chem
ical agents, viruses or radiation.
Drug treatment is now adding
precious pain free months and
sometimes years to children’s
lives but as yet there are no
cures. It has been felt that this
would be among the first can
cers to be cured since there are
many drugs which give dramatic
remissions already. There is no
clear-cut familial tendency. Ab
normal pallor, the appearance of
glands in the neck or armpits
and frequent unexplained bleed
ing from the gums or nose are
most often the earliest signs of
leukemia.
There is often unexplained
weakness, easy fatigue, fever and
loss of appetite.
There are 3 major types. The
lymphatic leukemia occurs as an
acute rapidly progressive illness
usually in children while the
chronic form is slower and more
prone to be seen in young adults.
The myeloid type may also be
acute or chronic and in this the
spleen and liver may become tre
mendously enlarged. These occur
in the same age groups. The third
type is less common and difficult
to classify.
