(The above photo was
taken in the new and
charmingly decorated home
of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin
Farrar in Jenkinsburg. The
lady is our “working gal”,
Mrs. Nell Carmichael. She is
posed beside a unique and
beautiful topiary which she
made for Mrs. Farrar. The
arrangement, which is
placed in an unusually
attractive heirloom vase,
consists of pearled flowers of
many varieties. The overall
color pattern of the floral
piece is rose and green.)
Our gal for this issue is
Mrs. Edward (Nell) Carmi
chael of 153 Dempsey
Avenue.
I’m sure all of us have
often heard this said about
some people: “I just don’t
know how she does it. I
wonder where she gets her
ideas?” Such statements
could well be made about
Mrs. Carmichael, a very
creative and talented lady.
Making beautiful and in
spired floral arrangements is
as natural to Mrs. Carmi
chael as breathing is to the
rest of us. A true artist, Mrs.
Carmichael makes lovely
and unique decorations on
order for weddings, teas and
other occasions; she also
caters the food for some of
these events, being quite
admired for her unusual and
pleasing methods of design
ing the serving trays.
Mrs. Carmichael stated
that she had always loved
flowers even as a young
child she enjoyed making the
centerpiece arrangement for
their family dining table.
Perhaps even as a young girl,
she sensed a distant future in
the floral world.
Mrs. Carmichael told this
reporter that she was quite
fond of velvet ribbon and
enjoyed using that particular
item in her creations. Her
favorite color to work
with— green; her favorite
type of flower to work
with— garden flowers.
When I asked Mrs. Carmi
chael how she went about
creating a certain piece, she
said that she simply ex
pressed herself as her hands
led her.
For those of you who might
hot be familiar with this
lady’s work, I must tell you
now that the originality and
color use she employs is not
only pretty to the eye, but
also quite painstakingly
done. Mrs. Carmichael’s
quite charming home evi
dences her creative talents
very well, from the dining
room and living room drapes
she made, to a vari-colored
self-designed scatter rug.
One of her favorite rooms is
the kitchen, in which the
delectable party sandwiches
and hors d’oeuvres are
made.
Mrs. Carmichael, as well
as her late husband, was a
MRS. NELL
CARMICHAEL
public servant for some time,
serving as Tax Receiver for
Butts County. As an elemen
tary teacher, prior to public
office, Mrs. Carmichael
taught at Cedar Rock and
Pepperton Schools.
This “working gal’s” ad
vice to today’s business
woman is to “know the
people.” Mrs. Carmichael
also said that she has always
tried to treat everyone
equally something we all
would do well to abide by.
Our tribute this week to
Mrs. Nell Carmichael, truly
one of Jackson’s most
talented ladies.
FLOWERY THINKING
In lieu of a recipe for our
column, Mrs. Carmichael
has chosen to share a
“flowery” secret with us:
that being, how to keep your
floral arrangements fresher
for a longer period of time.
When Mrs. Carmichael
was a young girl, church
revivals were usually held
the first week in August. On a
Sunday during this time, her
family would invite the
preacher to dinner. It was
Mrs. Carmichael’s job to
make an arrangement for the
dining table and to artfully
set the places. Now, the mold
which is used today for
keeping flowers in place in
their containers, had not yet
been invented. Asa substi
tute, Mrs. Carmichael used
horse apples from the family
orchard. She placed three of
the apples, which were
cup-sized, into the bottom of
a bowl, and used them to
When utmost perfection
is most important...
Regardless of llie price of tlie casket
(which determines the cost of the funer
al), our standard of service rests on the
resolve that nothing short of perfection
will do. Our reputation is your assurance.

stick her fresh flowers in
place. On several occasions
after that she again used
fruits to keep her creations
fresh. Now, ladies, the acid in
the fruit was the key to
long-living flowers. How’s
that for ingenuity?

PERSPECTIVES-
A LOOK AT DRUG PREVENTION
emotional^
While there nothing in marijuana VT(P ■ /
I that produces a need to use stronger HgH
drugs, it appears that people that VB 1
I become overinvolved with any drug are \
likely to have an emotional need to seek other drugs. This emotional inadequacy \
I also creates a dependency. 1
Statistically, less than 10 percent of marijuana users become / I
addicted to harder drugs, while 85 percent of heroin addicts in II
one survey had previously tried marijuana. A still larger number 1 1
of heroin addicts had used alcohol before heroin. 1
People who experiment with marijuana are more likely to experiment with other, J
stronger drugs. People who use marijuana several times every day have a tendency /
I to withdraw and become "social drop-outs." f /
This apathy may seem a preferable state to one of anxiety or I I
frustration, but it severely retards the maturing processes. I /
