Newspaper Page TextC M WORKING GAL’S hv I ’’ ~'f% Jari jb J O in | • L ■ .*, _* * a * ■fc-> '"''^^HPi -Bl^nHHf ** MiiiiilSii" A f(Ti Wr> ' 2 ** ■ < MRS. W. D. HEATH Our gal for this issue is Mrs. W. D. (Annie Louise) Heath, co-manager and op erator of Heath’s Restau rant. Heath’s is Jackson’s home-cooking specialty res taurant. When 12:00 rolls around, it’s crowded with hometown folks as well as out-of-towners, who believe in good, down-to-earth eat ing. Fresh vegetables and delicious pastries abound. The Heaths serve their own garden-grown wares mostly and these foods are as fresh as you could wish. Although they still operate one fruit stand (as a matter of fact, tint’s where the idea for Heaths came from), Mr. and Mrs. Heath find most of their time occupied now strictly in their restaurant operation. As Mrs. Heath stated, “W. D. got me started in this. I was working at American Mills sewing and this was just parttime.” However, the business blossomed and Mrs. Heath found herself going from mills to meals! Al though their business began with hamburgers, people saw them preparing meals with vegetables, etc. for them selves, and asked for vegetables, too. Thus began the “veritable vegetable boom.” I for one did not realize how time consuming this type enterprise was until Mrs. Heath told me her hours: 6 days a week their doors are opened at 5:00 for the cooks and around 6:00 for serving customers. Closing time is approximately 8 p.m. Mrs. Heath stated that on the average they served 100 vegetable plates a day. And note, that does not include the breakfasts and hamburg ers. I think I could say quite safely, that Mrs. Heath has one set of the longest hours to be found in Jackson. She is not only very hard-working and diligent, but also quite pleasing to the public, as the crowds of diners are quite plentiful. I find Mrs. Heath quite pleasant and would imagine her to be one of those people who stay in a perpetual good humor, de spite the long hours she has. She finds time to sew and bakes her county-wide fa mous cakes and pies at home. This in spite of the fact that her day is not over at 8:00 p.m., because she then goes home and does much preparation in the way of shelling beans and fixing other foods for the next day’s meals. She and her husband have been active members of Macedonia Baptist Church for 28 years, and will have been married 30 years this November. Her 4 children are the proud parents of 9 children, which makes her a seasoned and proud grand mother. As you can imagine in a business such as this, funny things are more than liable to happen. Mrs. Heath laughed heartily as she told of the time “she served Mr. Horace Smith a hamburger with no meat in it!” The gracious Mr. Smith didn’t even advise her of the mistake until a while later when he returned for another meal. That’s quite a testimony in itself that he returned, wouldn’t you say? Pies, especially coconut, are Mrs. Heath’s specialty. These very palatable pas tries can make even the staunchest dieter be tempted to cheat a little. How she always manages to make the meringue so high and pretty, is a mystery to me. I am really inclined to wonder if she has ever experienced a culinary failure. (I also highly recommend her Ger man Chocolate Cakes. She recently made one for me, and it was absolutely delicious.) Although Mrs. Heath has those long and tiring hours, she states that she just doesn’t feel she would be happy to stay at home. However, she does feel that mothers with young children should try to be with them, especially in the children’s earlier years. This, of course, if the mother is financially able. On the subject of liberation, Mrs. Heath feels that women should receive equal pay for equal work. She also stated, though, that she felt too many women were entering into male profes sions where they did not belong. To quote, “I still feel that women have their place and men theirs.” Yes, Mrs. Heath is defi nitely one lady “who belongs in a kitchen.” And for someone who cooks as well as she does, it’s the best place to be. Our salute this week to Mrs. Annie Louise Heath. MRS.

BARKLEY HOUSE COMING DOWN - The William (Bill) Barkley home place on East 3rd St., presently owned by Dr. W. G. Smith, shown standing in the front yard, will soon be torn down as part of the Butts County Association for Beautification Through Conservation program. The home, once a Jackson showplace and one of the finer homes in the city, built around 1910, was occupied by two brothers, John and Bill Barkley and their sisters. The Barkley family was one of Jackson’s most affluent, having made their fortune in farming, cotton, and real estate. Photo by Jerry McLaurin. NEWS FROM WORTHVILLE By Mrs. W. G. Avery Mr. and Mrs. L.
