In addition to making the yard more attractive, they can reduce maintenance. And Troy Keeble, Extension Ser vice horticulturist, says they can make for safer maintenance, too. For example, ground covers are fine for steep slopes that are hard —and dangerous—to mow. Homemaker's Corner BY PEGGY HOLLAND County Extension Home Economist | j- soon lin e up at bus stops in new back-to-school fashions. Translated from the pace-setting longuette of grown ups, youth fashions will create an illusion of elongation. Though for girls, some midi and knee capping lengths will be seen— especially in the 7 to 14 range, —most little girl skirts will be short with pleats, side wraps and pant skirts the major styles. The long and lean look will come from the low waistline ending in pleats, long skinny vests and tunics. It’s a matter of stretch ing the look from the knee up. Many schools are accepting pants as school wear for girls. And this gives rise to a whole new mix and match separates story. A few well-chosen sep arates can provide all the new looks. Six separates can be par layed into a schoolbag full of addition-subtraction fashions. A bright short skirt, ribbed turtle neck top, matching pants, solid tunic, bright sleeveless midi vest and longuette skirt. Try switch ing them around and see how many outfits there are. Another youth silhouette is the poncho. It can be long or short, worn over pants or skirts, seen as a sewn-on top part of a dress or jumper, or nipped in on the sides for a tunic style. The pon cho fringe spills over onto other styles too, giving a western fla vor. The outdoor feeling picks up animal prints, especially snake skin looks. Jumpers are import ant, too. Among style details are blouse matching appliques. On dresses and jumpers, interest centers on lace-ups, grommets, “X” and “D” belt loops, deco rative little buttons. Ready-to-go clothes for boys feature matched or coordinated pants and finger-length vests. They’re belted or unbelted, with button or western-y leather lace up closeures or textured pullover styles. The fabrics are corduroy, smooth double knits and sweater knits. Jackets go longer sport ing western, ranger and country looks with belts, wide turn-up col lars. Shirts have long-point col lars; country pants take cordu roy prints and have wide loops for big leather belts or multi strand thong belts. Denim pants are treated to blazer stripes. For the most part, manufac turers have come up with elegant textures via ribbing, boucles, suedes and velours, but have maintained the easy-care label. The snapback-ability of the new knits, rib cottons, corduroys, THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA I acrylics, and the many blends is 1 becoming legendary. Crushed vinyl and polyureth ane for the shiny look in coats, dresses and sportswear is as wash able as it is crisp looking. Be tween laundering, wipe a sudsy sponge and polish dry to keep an unsmudged appearance. Man made furs stand out in winter wear coats and jackets. And most for children are fully washable. In these budget-conscious days, washability is a key factor in fashions for active children. Even the busiest moms can smile more easily at dirt, spills, and splotches when the outfit is ma chine washable, dryable and no iron. Washables save time, money, and temper. When clothes shopping without the child along for fitting, it’s a good idea to have height, weight and waist measurements for more accurate size selection. Clothes should have roomy armholes and crotch; and be loose-fitting around the neck, arms, legs, and waist. But, they should not be too large since oversized gar ments restrict movement as well as undersized clothing. JACKSON CHRISTIAN ACADEMY P. 0. Box 1, 413 Brookwood, Jackson, Ga.

What portion of the $19.6 bil lion distributed last year by Washington went to the local area? On the basis of a state-by-state study made by the Tax Founda tion, a non-profit organization that serves as a watchdog on the spending of public funds, Butts County’s share was i - elatively large. The grants for local purposes during the past fiscal year came to an estimated $869,000. Total grants throughout the State of Georgia as a whole amounted to $490,000,000, it showed. Included were funds for urban renewal, school and hos pital construction, roads, public health, education and many other POLK TIRE COMPANY New- Used - Bent - Bruised APPLIANCE SALE National Guard Armory SEPTEMBER 4 - 5 I—GE 15 CU.

The figures relate only to Federal grants to states and lo calities and do not include other kinds of government spending, for goods and services, in local areas. Not included, either, are the matching funds that must be put up in connection with many of the grants. As to the cost of these benefits, they are paid for out of Federal income and excise taxes that are allocated to the aid programs. According to a breakdown of the Tax Foundation’s figures, Butts County’s contribution to the programs was approximately $584,000. Statewide, it was $331,- 000,000. In no area of the country, ex cept Nebraska, did the grants and the costs balance out equally. Some localities got back more than they turned in and others got less. The differences are due to the fact that some communities have more pressing problems and are in greater need of funds for pub lic works than are others. The awards are made from that standpoint and not with the idea NOTICE There will be an opening for a Clerk-One at the Butts County Department of Family and Children Services Office for the sale of Food Stamps.

Board Of Commissioners Butts County of returning dollar for dollar, it is explained. Just how much the grants-in aid programs have grown in re cent years is brought out in the figures. In 1960 they totaled $7 billion. Last year they amounted to $19.6 billion. The recent census may result in a drop in aid for some com munities. Places that are shown to have declined in population may suffer a proportionate cut in those aid programs that are on a per-capita basis. ON ADVERTISING Ah, advertising! Miss Lora Laine, home management special ist with the Cooperative Exten sion Service, tells consumers that “advertising is an integral part of our daily fare. Without it we would be at a loss in shopping in our complex world.” Miss Laine says advertising tells us who sells what and where. It also des cribes or pictures the item and tells us how much it costs. And furthermore, it introduces new merchandise on the market.
