FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Sugar Campbell says:
The proverbial good fellow
is a guy who has nothing and
wants to share it with you.
There are plenty of hidden
taxes today but no place
where a taxpayer can hide.
To make both ends meet
today people will have to learn
to do more more doing
without.
The man who succeeds
knows just where he is going,
and what he is going there for.
The fellow who straddles the
fence may live peaceably, but
will never carry much
weight.
A jockey is the only guy who
can put all he has on a horse
and never go broke.
Worry is the treadmill of
life it gives one plenty to do,
but it gets you nowhere.

The man who considers
himself the light of other
people's life is often put out.
Many a family is pressed by
high prices, but only a few are
taken to the cleaners.

Revival Of Sewing
The revival of home sewing
in Madison County has started
sewing machines purring and
needles flying. One such
revival has been in the Mars
Hill Community. Under the
capable leadership of Miss
Irene Willis, a sewing class of
15 ladies was organized this
past October. The new City
Hall provided excellent
facilities for the class.
Through the adult program of
the Agricultural Extension
Service, Mrs. Linda Harrell,
assistant home economics
agent, is instructing the class.
With the new materials that
are on the market, special
sewing techniques must be
used to get the besty results.
Basic clothing construction
details such as fabric and
pattern selection, set-in
sleeves, zipper application,
and hemming are being
taught in the class.
Class membership changes
throughout the course with
new members coming in at
their convenience. The class is
open to women in Mars Hill
and surrounding areas.
Judging from the comments of
the class members, sewing is
very rewarding as well as
great fun.
During the last few months,
11 similar clothing con
struction classes have been
held in Sodom, Spillcorn,
Marshall, Guntertown, Hot
Springs, Bull Creek, Little
Pine, Laurel High School,
Walnut Gap, little Laurel,
and Paint Rock.
Mrs. Ethel Wallin, home
economics agent for Madison
County, has stated, "During
the 12 years that I have been in
Madison County, home sewing
has never been as popular as it
is today. Mrs. Wallin also
commented that over 150
women have been involved in
sewing classes in the county.
