The Grindle Letter
There appeared several weeks
ago in this newspaper a letter to
the editor from Alfred C. 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

750 submitted. A cash

jury. The winner will be
announced on March 22.
Ticket holders to the
three-day gala affair

The Russell art auc

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

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.
Couple Entertained

Mr. and Mrs. Glenn
Perkinson were enter
tained on Saturday
evening, March 2, on the
occasion of their 50th

ments of yellow roses,
mums, and other
flowers received from
friends throughout the
day. Centering the serv
ing table was an
arrangement of long
stemmed yellow roses.
A three-tiered anni
versary cake was cut
and served by Mrs.
Nellie Gardner. Mrs.
Katie Davis, Mrs. Pattie
Brauer, and Mrs. Ruby
Overby served punch.
