Perry Primary students use natural dye for eggs

Debra Howell’s first grade class from Perry Primary School used “natural” dye for their
egg dying experiment. Red cabbage, yellow onion skin, red onion skin, grape juice and
beet juice were used as their dyes. The cabbage and onions were put in boiling water
for 30 minutes while the beet and grape juices were mixed with cold water. The eggs
were then dipped in the bowls. After an hour, the colors began to show. The class was
both happy and surprised with the results. One of the red dyes actually turned the eggs
blue and another red dye turned the eggs green! Can you guess which ones? Try the
experiment to find out for yourself. Pictured working with the dyes are Ashley Long,
Matthew Mims, Alex Barnett and Hannah Daniels.

After retiring Papa turned
his backyard into one large
garden. He bought a self
propelled tiller and Ronnie
made a plow that attached
to the lawn mower. He con
tinued that vegetable gar

Every spring when it’s
planting time I think about
Papa and his garden.

Our “Millie” Mealor

Millie “was" sad and “will always be" the dearest and most pre
cious friend to me. Jus like this mighty oaken tree . . . her
strength ... she stood so ta11... and like this mighty oaken tree,
a great vessel did fall. Her home to her brothers and sister of us
who kne her in Perry’, became a “nest" full of laughter, great times
so very merry. We sang, we listened, we traveled the roads to far
away ... memories now glisten all day. No unto Jesus she will go.
But the memories of knowing her, we w ill ever love them so, ever
so. From all of us, your home town Perry buddies, we’ll contin
