Sandhills Y outh Learn Holiday Crafts
Sixty-five inmates of the Sand
hills Youth Center at McCain were
taught by Hoke County Extension
Homemakers Club women this
month how to make Christmas
decorations, artificial and with liv
ing greenery from the center's
grounds.
The inmates returned the favor
by making wreaths and giving
them to the Extension Service
home economics staff.
Ellen Willis, county Extension
home economics agent, said nine
women taught each of the
workshops, which were held at the
center December 1 and 15.
The Extension Homemakers
Clubs hold the workshops each
December at the center before
Christmas. Last year, Mrs. Willis
said, 45 inmates participated. The
attendance was voluntary for
them.
Inmates were enthusiastic about
the lessons. One who attended the
December 1 workshop said he was
looking forward to participating in
the second.
Another said he learned things
in the workshops that he could use
when he returned home.
Another said he was impressed
because he could get something
around the house, such as a photo,
and make something beautiful of
it. In a workshop a regular potato
was ornamented with greenery to
make a decorative ball.

? * +
It was a year ago Thursday that I
was surprised with a retirement
party in the office by the staff of
The News-Journal and the workers
at Dickson Press. I will never
forget the gifts and warm words
that were bestowed on me that
day, but I also won't forget the
wonderful time that has been mine
over the past year.
A very close friend of mine,
when he heard that I was going to
retire, stated that it would drive me
up the wall not having anything to
do. He was thinking of my con
tinuous work for approximately 46
years and during that time he had
insisted that 1 take more time off
from work. My reply to him was
that some people find enjoyment
in their work, which others have to
get away to relax and calm down
after the pressure and strain of
their work. This was the reason for
his comment.
I would advise anyone that can
retire to do so if the conditions so
warrant. A few of these conditions
will follow.
If you have had a good relation
ship with management for a
number of years and then the chain
of command is soon to pass to
someone else, then bow out with
the relationship still on the best of
terms. This will let you have an op
tion, if the opportunity arises, to
continue to be of valuable
assistance to the business. It will
also give you something to do dur
ing the years ahead.
My desk at the office is the same
and 1 believe the people there p\
welcome me to come in at any time
to assist when needed. Of course
this is a small business and mighb
be impossible in other places.
Another thing is that my wife
retired six months before me and
this helped break the routine that
we had been following for many
years. We now can visit her peo
ple just as well in the middle of the
week as we could on theO
weekend. We do not have to ar
range for days off to do anything.
I play golf and had for many
years played with the same four
some every Saturday and Sunday.
Now it is possible to play any
day of the week that suits me.
This means that increased the
people I played golf with and also
increased the number of friends in
this section of the country and ^
these I value very much. ' '
The trips to other towns in the
middle of the week with my wife to
eat lunch and then go to the theater
can only be after you are retired.
My health at the present time is
good and I am able to do what I
want to do. The writing of this col
umn takes some of my time, I even
gave out cheese for the Depart
ment of Social Services. This is a
retirement; doing things that you
couldn't do when your life was just
a routine from Monday to Friday.
No pressure now, just the fun of
living.' It has been a great 1982.

Happy New Year to the readers
