For And About Women Juniors Hear Program On March Of Dimes Brevard Junior Woman’s Club members who served as leaders in the Transylvania County Mothers’ March , Against Birth Defects were honored by the Pisgah Chapter of the March of Dimes at the club’s March 18 meeting. Mrs. Tyrone Benton and Mrs. Ladson Hart, who headed the 1975 campaign, and Mrs. James Heglar and Mrs. Ray Jackson, who had served as chairmen of prior .campaigns, received cer tificates of appreciation and crystal dishes designed with the March of Dimes logo. Area chairmen in the county campaign were given cer tificates of appreciation. Mrs. Lewis Herron, Executive Director of Pisgah -Chapter, made the presen tation. In giving the recognition, she stated that to date Transylvania County leads the 12-county area served by Pisgah Chapter in per capita giving in this year’s campaign. “We are well aware that it took a lot of planning ahead and recruitment of area leaders and a lot of March Mothers to produce these fine results. But these results surely tell us that people at all levels of the campaign, as well as those who gave, are fine people who are truly con cerned in the fight against birth defects. “A number of people from Transylvania have mailed donations into the Chapter Office. To date, $2515.39 has been received in the Mothers’ March and $1,009.00 in mail receipts making a total of $3,524.39,” according to Mrs. Herron.

C Local Reach-To-Recovery Group Will Assist Mastectomy Patients For the second of three scheduled meetings, a group of Transylvania County women gathered Friday morning in the Sun Room at the Transylvania Community Hospital to make plans for a new program here, the Reach To Recovery program for women who have had mastectomies. The program, which was adopted by the American Cander Society in 1962, is designed to help women who have had treatment for breast cancer make a good recovery. The purpose of the program, said Marcia Cox of Asheville, district representative of the American Cancer Society, is “to show these women that I, too, have been through the surgery and I am alive and healthy just as I was before surgery. We present a positive aspect of recovery.” All volunteers in the program have had mastec tomies and have made good recoveries. These volunteers visit, on a one-to-one basis, a woman patient after surgery at the request of her physician. The volunteer answers questions, takes along a kit of material that will be useful, Bridge Winners Announced Winners at the regular Tuesday evening duplicate bridge game of The Ace of Clubs were the following pairs: 1 - Arthur Beddoe and Robert N. Hill; 2 - Mrs. M. F. Johnson and Jack Hudson; 3 - Mr. and Mrs. Jack Potts; 4 - Mrs. Doyle Wells and Mrs. Mark Osborne. The club’s quarterly club championship will be played this coming Tuesday evening, March 25th. Mrs. Robbins Is Hostess To Club Meet Mrs. Rose Robbins was hostess to the March 16 meeting of the Brevard Ex tension Homemakers Club. Mrs. Claudia Sanders reported on botulism and its danger. Mrs. Mae Hall and Mrs. Robbins will represent the club in a quilt-making class. Miss Jean Childers, home extension agent, talked about herbs and spices, giving the members samples of herb lotion and a chart showing uses of herbs and spices. She recommended a book, “Creative Cooking With spices and Herbs,” and tested the group on their knowledge. Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Robbins scored highest. and offers assitance after the woman leaves the hospital. The program here should be in effect by the end of April, according to Mrs. Paul Barrett, coordinator. Currently, eight women have volunteered for the program. They will receive training in what things should be included in the initial visit, learning answers to probable questions. For women who do not wish to visit, there is other work. They will keep records, keep an inventory of supplies, and make up the kits that will be taken to each new patient. Ms. Cox showed a sample kit, used in a neighboring county, and explained what the various items were used for. The women also saw a film, showing a visit by a Reach To Recovery volunteer to a hospital patient who had just undergone surgery for breast cancer. Dr. Marius Wells, advisor to the program, discussed the disease and the volunteer program. Many of the women at the session have been his patients. Herbs, Spices Is Topic At Club Meeting “Herbs and spices — a complement to certain foods” was the program given to the Hill and Dale Extension Homemakers Club by Miss Jean Childers, home economics agent. She gave the members a quiz on classification of herbs and spices and named Mrs. Perry Allison and Mrs. Dixon Lyday the winners. Miss Childers also gave members a “pinches and dashes” chart showing what herbs go best with certain foods. Mrs. Howard Schmidt, craft leader, showed a bottle doll as a workshop item. Announcement was made that Mrs. C. F. Allison and Miss Margaret Gash will attend classes on honeysuckle mats and baskets and creative stitchery at the area craft workshop April 1 and 2 in Montreat. The April meeting has been cancelled so that members can attend district days at Lake Junaluska April 15 and 16. Mrs. Edna Rackley was hostess to the meeting, with one guest, Mrs. Clarence Allison Jr. attending. "I am interested in getting this thing going,’’ he said. “I discharged another lady this morning.” “There has been an enor mous change in thinking concerning breast surgery,” Dr. Wells said. In past years, each patient received the same treatment, usually a radical mastectomy, regardless of what her medical situation was. “Now we are trying to fit the surgery to the patient; the treatment is tailored to the disease. You do have some choices. All of you have helped in our information gathering,” he told the women, each of whom has had a mastectomy “Treatment has become better than it used to be.” He discussed the new mammograph equipment installed last week and now in operation. “Anyone who has had a lump taken out of her breast ought to have an x-ray at least once a year.” He talked about equipment available in other areas of the state, then said, “I think we probably have the best system right here.” Other women who may be interested in the program are asked to call Mrs. Barrett at 885-2573.
