The Essich family came to Canada in 1954, then to the states in 1959. Mrs. Essich explained that German girls are taught from elementary age how to cook, sew, keep house and take care of children. These courses are taught along with the rudimentary three R’s. The boys are taught a trade. As you can see, Germans upon graduating from high school are well-prepared for every day life. American schools might do well in learning this lesson. Some of Mrs. Essich's handcraft knowledge was gained due to war-time necessity and others through therapy work she did with war veterans, l.eathercraft is also a hobby of this week’s gal. Germany is a heavily populated country for its size and “people often get ahead THE JACKSON PROCRESS-ARCUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA by inventiveness.” Mother of three and wife of Bulls County’s sanitarian, Mrs. Essich is a member of Ihe Towaliga Women’s Club. She has lived in Butts County since April of last year and seems to enjoy our small town way of life. 1 questioned her as to how she felt about women’s liberation and was told that though she felt women doing Ihe same job as men should receive equal pay, she also felt that “a woman who has to use outside help to get her way is not a good diplomat.” We welcome the Essiches into our community, and wish for them a happy life in Butts County.
