Georgia Escapee Returned After Being Captured Here An escapee from a prison camp has been turned over to Georgia j authorities following arrest here j by a highway patrolman. Robert Beasley. who escaped from a camp in Ellijay. Ga.. was | apprehended on April 21 about 5 p. m. near the state line by Patrolman A. A. Lewis,' who was on his way to meet with Georgia oficers on another matter. The patrolman said Beasley saw the Georgia patrol car park- 1 ed at the line and apparently : thought it was a road block. He i put his '48 Ford coupe in reverse and backed at high speed for l about three tenths of a mile down ' the highway before losing control and going into a ditch. Patrolman I Lewis came ajong about that time and took him into custody. j Although Beasley has been re turned to Georgia to serve out j his sentence, the patrolman said I a detainer has been filed here for his return on charges of reck less driving, no driver's licence and carrying a concealed weapon when he is released. Patrolman Lewis said he found a .32 calibre pistol in Beasley's car, but that he denied owning it. PLUMBING And HEATING For A-I Work at Reasonable Rates CALL W. G.

Soap-Making Is Still An Art To Aunt Annie' Strain Here (Editor's Note: "Aunt Annie" Strain was visiting in Skyiand last week and was interviewed by Jessie Higdon Wilkie for the following story that appeared in Sunday^ Asheville Citizen Times.) Soap-making .hasn't quite been relegated to the past as a forgot ten art, as demonstrated by Miss Annie Strain of Franklin. RFD 5. She still makes it. though not with lye made from ashes as did her mother and other pioneer wom en. She uses the commercial va riety and just follows the diret tions on the can. "Aunt Anr.ie". as she is affec tionately called by most people who know her, visits around among her nieces and nephews, and for those who save up the waste fats and grease in the kitchen she makes a "run'' ot soap. She has a little old black iron pot she takes along with her to make it in. Although a bit strong for washing hands, it is a good cleansing agent for white clothes in machine washing. Aunt Annie, who will be eighty four years old in June, remembers when the ash hopper was standard equipment on the pioneer home stead. Ashes- were saved from the fireplace where hickory, oak or other hardwoods were burned, and were put into the ash hopper. Water was then poured over them, a little at a time, and allowed tc seep through. When it dripped out at the bottom it was a liquid lye. When added to grease and boiled it made a soft soap which was then poured, at Aunt Annie's I home, into a hollowed-out loc soap-trough kept in the smoke- j house. Another trick Aunt Annie has I that makes her an eagerly-expect- 1 ed guest in the homes where she ! visits is that of bread-making. When a batch of her fresh "light bread" comes from the oven the household, old and young, gather around to get a sample, while it's hot. with butter. Her recipe? She doesn't know the exact measurements ? two sieves of floui'. a single handful of sugar, a heaped-up tablespoon of shortening, about two table spoons of salt, a Small double boiler, up to the rim, of lukewarm water, and a package of yeast dis solved in nearly a cupful of warm water. Although Aunt Annie never j married and has had no house- 1 hold of her own, she has helped # in the homes of sisters ar. i brothers where she has lived much of the time since her pai- j ents died. She has always found plenty to keep her busy, usually I taking the patching and mending as another of her special tasks. Proably. as one niece expressed it. when Aunt Annie passes on to her reward she will want to be busy patching the little angeii' britches.
