Program topic was “The Battle o« Cowpens Gave Hope for a Developing Nation.” Members walked the trjjl of the Battle which was fought January 17, 1781, between about 1100 British under Col. Banastre Tarleton aid about 1,000 Americans under Gen eral Daniel Morgan, and was won decisively by the Amrric- ans. A part of the trail, in a dense wooded area known as Greene Road, has been kept nearly as tt was when the Battle was fought around this road. It was pointed that the Continental Army wwa prepared and ready and that this victory was one of the turnmg points in the Revolution in the South, the War having moved back north to Yorktown, Pa., in the fall of tha‘ year. Through the use of relief ma,-. s 1 lights the Battle was re-enacted. Weapons used, including rifles, cavalry swords and swords used by the Highlanders, were on display, along with portraits of Col. Tarleton, General Daniel Morgan, and General Nathaniel Greene who was given command of the Southern Revolutionary Army and in 1781-82 conducted a notably successful campaign against the British in the Carolinas and Georgia. Mrs. Robert L. Sweezy, Regent, presided over the meet ing and the Ritual was led by Miss Betty Hamrick, Chap lain. Projects for the year were discussed, includmg the annual Sell-A-Thon to be held on Saturday, Nov. 21, this year. A picnic lunch was carried along and enjoyed by every one attending.

Women are spending more hours out side the home working, in volved in community activ ities or pursuing hobbies and special interests. Modem conveniences in food and equipment have made it possible for today’s homemakers to spend less time in the kitchen. How ever, packaged or frozen meals can get pretty dull and are often expensive in terms of dollar value.

Flounder Skillet, for example. unites fillets, sliced potatoes and frozen green beans for a hearty and Oavorful dish. Perfect for busy-day dinners, fish cooks in minutes and it is high in protein, low in fat, ideal fare for the cholesterol conscious.

The big and basic rule of losing weight is to eat less calories than your body uses up in activity. Unfortunately, remem bering that is a lot easier than accomplishing it. But there are little things to remember that will help you achieve the larger goal. 1. Try not to eat after about six in the evening. Midnight munching is hard on your system — the food just sits in your stomach while you sleep, using only about 25 calories an hour. Evening hunger is an easy habit to break; if you just don’t give in to it for two or three days, you’ll find it goes away. 2. Make steamed vege tables by creating your own favorite yogurt sauces. A quarter cup of low-fat yogurt has only about 40 calories, and the spices you add have none. Try adding cumin, diU, cilantro, fresh parsley, garlic, fresh ginger or cor iander. Add spices to taste and stir them into the yogurt with a drop or two of lemon juice. 3. If you can cut out sugar entirely for one week, you’ll find you are no longer tempted by it. I find that just one little cookie or bite of cake not only increases my ap petite in general, but also makes me crave more sugar. Once I’ve made it through five days without sugar, I can^walk right by a bakery and not be in terested. 4. Social occasions are the hardest times to stick to your diet even when you’re highly motivated. Don’t be too hard on yourself when you slip up and be very proud of yourself when you can make it through dinner at a friend’s house without eating lots of bread and a big serving of dessert. Observe yourself careful ly in social situations. You can learn a lot about your dieting behavior that way, and you can ap ply what you learn next time. For example, a glass of wine before dinner in creases your appetite so next time you’ll have your wine with dinner. 5. Avoid becoming overly frustrated and depressed when even your best diet efforts don’t seem to work. I recom mend daily weigh-ins because it helps you avoid big weight gains that you might not otherwise be aware of. But in the morning scale reading of body weight doesn’t always reflect exactly how faithful to your diet you were the day before. Hormone changes, water retention, even having a cold can make your weight go up. Be patient, it will go down again if you stick to it. © 1981 McNaught Synd. THE GLITTER OF GLASS Designers use mirror throughout homes and apartments to open up spaces. Mirrored walls also give you an entirely different look and add a new perspective. If your dining room is small, putting mirror on one wall will enlarge it in stantly. For a traditional look, use squares or rec tangular pieces with beveled edges. For a mod ern look, larger sheets of mirror butted up to one another works better. Ideas lor loteriirs mirror than with any other architectural detail. But beware! Like any good idea, mirrors can be overdone. Guests will appreciate a mir ror in the foyer. Deborah Kunstler, ASID A mirrored ceiling can enlarge a small bathroom or foyer, turn a bedroom into a palace and make a walk-in closet look like an elegant dressing room. To fill up an empty cor ner in your living room, place several large, important-looking plants in front of, a mirrored screen. Because of the reflections, those few plants will take on the look of a jungle. Another trick with plants and mir ror: make or buy a tall mirrored pedestal, about 4'/2 feet high, and place a beautiful plant in an unusual container on top and again, you can have a lot of drama for a small amount of money.
