This Side j Of Town j BY BRENDA WILLIAMSON; It’s about all over for 1973. All that remains is taking down the tree, putting up the decorations and treading to the store to exchange that wrong size gift or swap that atrocious color for something more appealing. Many wives and mothers will make a list of resolutions for the next shoppping season, including a promise to get through shopping early, never again wait until the last minute to clean house and prepare sweet treats just to name a few. Santa’s reindeer have been put to pasture for another year and the list goes on and on .... As the year 1973 fades away, a new beginning is born. Nine teen hundred and seventy four will burst on the scene at midnight December 31st with a perhaps grim outlook for America due to the energy crisis and other numerous problems. Americans face what perhaps will be a most difficult year, particularly to those of us who were’t around during the years of the depression when gas, food, etc. was rationed to everyone. Perhaps this spell of hardship could be a turning point for America and will see a reviving of the standards this nation was founded upon. One never knows .... Flowers for this season of the year are often hard to come by but the Christmas flower, the Poin settia, has been extremely pretty this year. A number of plants were designated as Christmas gifts while others have been purchased for use in churches, homes and the like. The tropical like shrub with its red. leaves and yellow center must have proper tender loving care to live after the Yule season and many flower lovers become exasperated over trying to prolong its beauty .... Travel during the holi days has been at a minimum but regrettably the Georgia State Patrol has predicted many deaths for this long holiday period. Safe and sane driving is the order of the day for those who do travel along the highways and it behooves one and all to do their very best to prevent an accident from occuring. The phrase may "seem trite since it has been used over and over again but it remains true, the life you save may be your own .... We enjoyed the annual Christmas Tree and program at our church last Thursday evening at which the younger children of the church rendered chosen readings, selected especially for the occasion. As usual, the very small “stole” the show and had the audience waiting with anticipation for their next move. Some were shy, some complete hams, and some carried out their part just right but when it was over a big round of applause came for one and all. Gifts were distributed, the Christmas Story read and all departed for their various homes full of cheer and thankful for the true meaning of Christmas, the birthday of Jesus .... Luke Weaver was parading around early Friday morning looking very much like Santa Claus in his bright red coat and was seen walking to the Post Office quite early as if to cheer folks up who saw him. One thing is sure -- he couldn’t get lost in a crowd if he wanted to ... . Since this is my last column for the Progress- Argus I take this opportunity to thank my readers for their many words of kindness during my employment here. It has been my pleasure to serve you and I have enjoyed making many new friends. I’ve learned much about the people of Butts County and much of it will remain stamped on my feeble , brain forever. To the cor respondents, I’m thankful for having been able to work with you and I hope I have been at least a little help to you. Your news will now be handled by Paulette Wells Cargile who is quite capable and I’m sure you will enjoy working with her. May everyone have a happy and prosperous New Year.

Thoughts For Sharing BY EILENE FINDLEY Butts County Extension Home Economist Have you analyzed your eating habits recently? If you are overweight, you should. Generally, overweight per sons do not have conventional eating habits. They tend to eat most their food between 4 p.m. and midnight. Breakfast is often skipped; lunch is light or occasionally missed; between-meal snacks are eaten ; but most of the food for the day is eaten after 4 p.m. This is not the suggested eating habit for weight loss. In fact, when most of the food for the day is eaten at one time, more fat is formed and stored than if that same food was spread out and eaten over the entire day. So, if you’re concerned about the excess fat you are carrying around, analyze your eating habits. If you are eating most of your food after 4 p.m., change your eating habits. Spread your food out more evenly during the day. SBBfafct j 1?
