Ponderings vfl
By Patricia Smith, '
Home Economist
Placemats Offer Variety
Placemats offer an alter
native to tablecloths when
setting a table. There is a
large variety of easy-care
fabrics available so that you
could make your own
placemats with very little
expense. Also available are
easy-to-elean vinyl mats as
well as woven ones. A
collection of placemats for
different occasions can range
from the very casual to the
most formal.
Fabric mats are easiest to
care for when they are
permanent press and soil
release treated. Fabrics of
cotton, linen, polyester and
blends of these fibers are
available in many interesting
textures and prints. Vinyl
mats are the easiest to clean
since they only need to be
wiped clean with a sudsy
sponge.
When purchasing place
mats, check the label for
specific laundering instruc
tions and check to see that
the mat is well made. Fabric
mats should be treated the
same as tablecloths-spots
and stains should be removed
as soon as possible and
launder mats frequently.
Glass Containers
Clear glass containers or
canisters are great for use in
the kitchen and are currently
very popular. Why not try'
using some of those attrac
tive glass pieces in other
rooms of your house. In the
bathroom or bedroom glass
canisters are practical and
offer decorative storage for
grooming aids such as cotton
balls or guest soaps. A wide
variety of shapes such as
mushroom, bell and beehive
shapes, as well as the more
traditional shapes, are avail
able.

Bobby Thaxton
Died Suddenly
Tuesday A.M.
Robert Lyle (Bobby) Thax
ton. 54, lifelong resident of
Butts County, died at his
residence early Tuesday
morning.
Son of the late Carl Claude
Thaxton and Eunice Viola
Maddox Thaxton, he was a
merchant and a service
station operator for many
years. He was a veteran of
World War 11. Though in
declining health for many
years, death was unexpect
ed.
Mr. Thaxton is survived by
a brother, Edgar Thaxton of
Augusta; four sisters, Mrs.
Sue Huggins of Jackson, Mrs.
Melba Couch of Macon, Mrs.
Nellie Hooten of Palo Verde,
Arizona. Mrs. Annie Belle
Johnson of Cordele; a large
number of nieces and
nephews.
Funeral arrangements
were incomplete at press
time. Sherrell Funeral Home
is in charge of arrangements.
First Clocks
The first clocks were
made by blacksmiths a
round 13D0. They were
enormous iron contraptions
driven by bulky weights,
usually too big to fit into
anything smaller than a
church steeple. A gigantic
indoor clock built in 1360 for
the King of France (and still
running in 1852>) was driven
by a 500-pound rock.
4-H Contest
Some of our sth and 6th
grade 4-H’ers from Hender
son Elementary School will
be at Rock Eagle on March
17-18 to participate in district
competition in their indivi
dual projects. Keep your
fingers crossed for these
young people because they
will be giving demonstra
tions in keen competition.

The
CHIRO-INFORMER
This column today deals
with one subject: “Is
Chiropractic for me?”
All health problems CAN
be either functional OR
traumatic (from injury,
including surgery). The
informed Chiropractic
patient seeks treatment
BECAUSE of a problem, not
to be treated FOR it!
Patients claim response to
disorder of: headaches, eyes,
ears, joints and muscles,
throat, asthma, lung, liver,
heart, ulcer, digestion, con
stipation, back pain, postural
defect, legs, feet, arms, and
hundreds of variations of the
above disorders.
As body processes are
improved, many injury and
surgical cases report a more
speedy recovery.
