Quilting Art Revived As
Means Keeping Warm
Mrs. Hazel Coleman puts the finishing touches on one of her quilts.
Barnesville With a
cold winter in the forecast
and energy conserving mea
sures in effect, some Geor
gians are finding other ways
to stay warm when they
lower their thermostats.
Heavy quilts, those unique
ly designed bedcovers our
great-grandmothers once
made, are being hand-sewn
again by thousands of
American women.
Mrs. Hazel Coleman of
Barnesville is one woman
who decided to take up the
art two years ago. Having
knitted and done other
handwork for over 30 years,
she accomplished the art in a
short time.
Balanced Meal Served
Each Day At Schools
Each day a nutritionally
balanced meal is served in
the schools of Butts County.
Until recently some school
children were unable to enjoy
the benefits of these federally
regulated meals because of
cost. Now, under the new free
and reduced price meal and
free milk program all school
children have the opportuni
ty to eat a well balanced
meal at school.
Costs of the meals to each
student is determined by a
scale based on the number of
children and the income of
the student’s family. Some
students qualify for both free
lunch and free milk while
others, under the reduced
price category of the pro
gram, pay only 10 cents for
lunch.
Other students from fami
lies with incomes too high to
qualify, but have unusually
high medical bills, shelter
costs in excess of 30 percent
of their income, special
education expenses due to
the mental or physical
condition of a child, or casual
losses, may still be eligible
under the program.
Butts County School Super
intendent W. B. Jones
expressed concern that many
school children are denied
the benefits of this program
because their parents don’t
know of its existence; he also
emphasized the fact that the
program costs the people of
Butts County nothing. “It is a
federally funded program
IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our beloved
wife and mother, Mrs. Ozella
Hamlin, who passed away
two years ago, January 19,
1973.
Sometimes we can’t under
stand why
God calls our loved ones
away
But we know His love and
work
Goes on every day.
There have been many
lonely hearts
And often silent tears,
But always a beautiful
memory
Of someone we loved so
dear. B. F. Hamlin and
family.
She has now become an
expert at making tops,
selecting a color coordi
nated lining, and then
basting the whole quilt
top, batting, and lining
together. She learned how to
do the actual quilting, sewing
the entire piece together, top
to lining, giving a quilted
effect, by reading and talking
to other quilters.
The beauty of hand-made
quilts is in the various
designed tops. Mrs. Coleman
explained that a top is made
of separately sewn
“squares” fitted together
into one piece. Generally 36
to 50 squares are needed for
an average-sized quilt. Tra
that is administered by the
United States Department of
Agriculture through the State
Department of education.
The people of Butts County
have a right to this program
and they should take advan
tage of it,” he said.
Mrs. Catherine Fletcher,
System Food Service Direc
tor said, “Families whose
incomes have been reduced
as result of lay-offs are also
eligible and can be picked up
by the program for whatever
length of time.”
In certain cases, foster
children are also eligible for
these benefits.
All children are treated the
same regardless of ability to
pay. In the operation of child
feeding programs, no child

Mercury Hits
Teens In 1
Butts County
The coldest weather of the
young Winter season struck
middle Georgia a numbing
blow Tuesday morning,
plunging the mercury to the
high teens in most areas of
Bulls County.
A blizzard spawned in the
Arctic wastes moved into the
United States during the
weekend and reached Geor
gia Sunday night and
Monday. A few snow flurries
were reported in the Jackson
area Monday morning. Mon
day dawned cloudy and cold
with a cutting northwest
wind blowing 15 miles per
hour and gusting to 25. The
wind chill factor made the 35
degree temperatures seem
as cold as six to eight degrees
above zero.
The National Weather
Service issued a Winter
Storm Watch for the northern
third of Georgia most of the
day Sunday, predicting the
chance of freezing rain, sleet
and snow, with accumula
tions of one to two inches of
snow in the Atlanta Metro
Area., but about 11 o’clock
Sunday night the storm
watch was cancelled.
Temperatures at Indian
Springs Tuesday morning
were reported at between 18
and 19 degrees with most
thermometers in Jackson
registering about the same
range. On a still cold night,
ideal for radiation, tempera
tures at Indian Springs
usually register four to seven
degrees colder than Jackson.
With the wind blowing, little
difference was recorded.
