BEULAH AND PITY-PAT
By Jerry McLaurin
Beulah and Pity-pat, two
four year old calico female
felines, make their home in
the country on Highway 36
with Mr. and Mrs. Froest
Powell.
The two of them, litter
mates, enjoy hunting chip
munks and rats, although
Mrs. Powell reports that
their chimpunk bagging is a
little off from last year;
either the chipmunks are
getting faster or the calico
sisters are getting slower.
One night around eleven
o’clock, Mrs. Powell was
awakened by a combination
of pawing and meowing at
the back door. Concerned by
the apparent urgency, she
got out of her bed to see what
the matter was. At the door
she found Beulah with a rat

Carroll Cos. Volunteers Meet
" Down-To-Earth" Needs
James Huddleston calls
them down-to-earth needs:
food, clothing, shelter, trans
portation.
“In these times there are
more and more people who
need them and fewer and
fewer dollars to go around,”
says the director of the
Carroll County Department
of Family and Children
Services, a part of the
Georgia Department of
Human Resources. “Without
our volunteers, I don’t know
what we’d do.”
Last May, several human
services agencies in the
county organized Volunteer

enjoy a little well-earned
praise. Evidently she had
forgotten to wind her watch
and was oblivious to the time
of night.
Beulah, as might be
deduced from the episode
mentioned above, is the most
unpredictable and fun-loving
of the two calicos. She enjoys
climbing about the furniture
in the Powell house and
getting into whatever she can
get away with. A pencil
holder, usually filled with
pencils, in the Powell house,
holds a particular fascina
tion for Beulah. She can’t
resist the urge to dump it
over and to play with the
pencils. Mr. Powell says that
they are constantly finding
pencils throughout the house,
under the rugs and behind
the furniture.
While Beulah enjoys a good
time, Pity-pat is the most
curious of the twosome.

“Before we joined forces
we had a lot of volunteers

“Sometimes there were as

ster and proceeded to dump
his garbage. Wesley, a
sensible fellow in most
respects, was suddenly
flabbergasted and surprised
when the garbage responded
to his dumping with a
number of shrilled meows.
A cat lover of old, Wesley,
after recovering from the
initial shock brought on by
what he took to be meowing
garbage, immediately res
cued the abandoned and
frightened twosome from the
maze of refuse and took them
into his home. Later, he
delivered them to his parents
where he was sure that they
would receive adequate love
and attention.

quite well so far.”
There are volunteers who
will rake leaves, change
washers on sinks and do
household chores for persons
who are unable to do
household tasks. Working
mothers can call a volunteer
to pick her children up at
school and take them to the
dentist. A volunteer will visit
a mother with a handicapped
child to help her learn how to
take care of that child.
“The churches have taken
a vital interest in helping
people down on their luck,”
says Huddleston. “The First
United Methodist Church of
Carrollton has a clothing
bank for children and an
emergency assistance pro
gram. They also provide
meal-on-wheels lunches to 22
senior citizens in the area.”

is any material laminated to
