Mrs. Sandra Pritchett, assistant director of activi ties at Westbury, says the class is like therapy for the participants. “It makes them feel useful. It s productive, and it makes them feel good to be able to do something for someone else rather than having someone do something for them,” she states. During the Butts County Celebration Week in July, the Westbury residents netted about $250.00 from the sale of ceramics and crafts. The money made from selling the items goes into an activity fund which is used for activities such as going out to eat or going on trips. The residents at Westbury have a lot of activities to take part in. In fact, something seems to be going on most of the time. and clear during the week of September 25-October Ist and fishing there will be good for bass using plastic worms, good for crappie using minnows and jig flies, good for catfish and bream.

JACKSON, GEORGIA THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, X 977 The Halloween carnival is currently being planned, and during the summer, home made ice cream parties and square dances are popular events. Chapel services are held several times during the week, and a class for the blind is held on Tuesday night in which the partici pants listen to music and do activities such as stringing beads. On Monday morning a retired school teacher from the community comes in and conducts an education class. She has eight students, some of whom never had an opportunity to go to school. Mrs. Pritchett says the trips are probably the most popular events with the residents and the Westbury van is on the road constantly for outings to places such as Grant’s Park, Indian Springs or High Falls parks, or just out for ice cream in Griffin or Jackson.
