Grin die, a prisoner in Georgia State Prison. The prisoner wrote that he was a native of Warren Coun ty and would like to correspond with persons from his home county. From what we have learned since, Grindle's letter impressed a number of readers, some of whom wrote the prisoner. Mem bers of a local church even took out a gift subscription to this newspaper in his name to keep Grindle informed of the events taking place in this native coun ty. Now we find that what Grindle wrote was completely false. The warden of Georgia State Prison, Lanson Newsome, writing one of those in Warren who correspond ed with Grindle, says that In mate Grindle was born in Hall County, Georgia. He has a father and mother who are living in Gainesville, Georgia, along with a number of brothers and sisters. Grindle also has a wife. The warden says Grindle's let ter is "a con game which Inmate Grindle is attempting to play upon you and the other citizens in your community." Warden Newsome said read ers in the area should be warned that the letter was a hoax, and that Grindle is only trying to ex tract money from its readers. He future points out that he regrets the incident, but that prison of ficials are not allowed to censor outgoing mail written by the in mates. The Warren Record shares the warden's regret. This news paper does go to some length to determine that letters to the editor are accurate and are not attempts to feed upon the good will of its readers. The Grindle letter is one that obviously got by. We are sorry. Montana Art Trip Planned Local artist Dianne T. Rodwell has been ac cepted into the 17th an nual C. M. Russell Auc tion of Original Western Art to be held in Great Falls, Montana on March 21-23. Approximately 235 works of art were select ed from the more than 750 submitted. A cash prize of $1000 will be pre sented to a living artist for the over-all "Best of Show" selected by the jury. The winner will be announced on March 22. Ticket holders to the three-day gala affair will vote for their choice of "best painting" and "best sculpture," and plaques will be present ed to these winners. The Russell art auc tion is sponsored by the Great Falls Advertising Federation for the sole benefit of the Russell Museum in Great Falls. Over the 16-year history of the auction the museum has received over $700,000; $110,000 in 1983 alone and $100,000 in 1984. Rodwell's accepted entry, a 16" by 20" acrylic on canvas en titled "Temp's Place," depicts an actual aban doned house in Warren Plains. In an early morning setting, snow blankets the old building and surrounding trees. On March 17, Mrs. Rodwell will fly to Great Falls, Mont, in prepara tion for the Seventeenth Annual C. M. Russell Auction of Original Western Art and her concurrent exhibition of 40 new paintings. With three fellow artists she will host a private cater ed reception and preview exhibition of these most recent works on March 20, the evening prior to the auc tion's public opening.

The Quick Draw Event precedes the main Auction on Friday and Saturday evenings featuring 12 artists each night. Sche duled to appear Friday evening, Mrs. Rodwell will have 30 minutes in which to create a finished piece of art work. Immediately follow ing its completion, the original is auctioned to the highest bidder with all proceeds going directly to the C. M. Russell Museum.

(Community Schools Photo) March Is Being Observed As Nutrition Month Here By ANN JULIAN Director Child Nutrition Warren County Schools March is the month set aside by the Ameri can Dietetic Association as National Nutrition Month. During this month, I'll be writing features about our lunchrooms and Qther nutrition activities taking place in our coun ty system. Food—it even sounds nutritious! Do you know what food is a favorite of local school children and also very nutri tious? It is pizza, a com bination food with, ingredients from each of the four major food groups: grain, meat, milk and"fruit and vege tables. A Mexican pizza called "Fiestada" was featured in all schools Monday, March 11. Regular pizza is on the menu for all schools at least twice monthly. The nutritional goal for school lunches is to provide approximately one-third of the recom mended dietary allow ances (RDA) as specified by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences. Varying amounts of food are specified for each age group. It is not ex pected that each lunch each day will provide one-third of the RDA for all nutrients, but that, when averaged over a period of time in which a w de variety of foods are served the goal will be met. School lunch has changed through the years. During my school years, I remember lunches as heavy, fat tening and monotonous. Today we serve less meat and potatoes plate type lunches and more of the children's favo rites such as pizza and spaghetti with tossed salad, cheeseburgers and hot dogs. In the I960 edition of ''Recommended Die tary'Allowances," issues were identified concerning the consump tion of fat, refined sugar and salt. We in the school lunch program took these issues seriously in changing our cooking and serving habits. Although we receive butter as a USDA com modity, it ia used more sparingly now. Less desserts are now being served, which is also necessary due to the cost factor. Fewer breakfast sweets are on the menu. More protein items such as ham and sausage biscuits are in cluded which are favorites of the children.' Managers have at tended special training sessions on instructing employees on proper cooking procedures. Salt shakers have been taken off of cafeteria tables. Although children may receive extra salt if they request it, it is no longer so ac cessible. Our vegetables still have that good old fashioned "Southern taste" but with the use of less seasoning meat! Lowfat unflavored milk is available at breakfast and lunch for those wishing to cut back on fat. School lunch now means good nutrition for Warren County students as well as a tasty meal. During the coming weeks, watch for ar ticles featuring the varied activities of the Child Nutrition Pro gram.
