Sewing Program Planned For & About Homemakers BY PATRICIA J. FENDER Ass’t. Home Ec.Ext. Agent Now that fall is here and the winter’s supply of food will soon be put by, hopefully there will be more time for sewing. Maybe it will be the outfit you have waited all summer to make or it might be a skirt or slacks to match that special jacket you found on sale in July. Whatever your need, Extension would like to help! Becky Gillespie will be presenting a special interest program at “YE OLE FABRIC SHOP” on Co-ordin ating Your Colors in Fabrics and Accessories. Becky’s interest in this program was stimulated when she purchas ed a new jacket on sale and did her own coordinating with pimple, basic skirt and blouse patterns and the accessories she already had on hand. She Pay Phone Booths Are Used — And Some Are Abused By Vandals by j.p. McLaughlin Customer Service Manager The old, familiar phone booth of the Superman variety is gradually giving way to the “boothette” (a sort of half booth on a pole), but public pay phones get used and abused the same as always. Most of us have used a pay phone at one time or another—to tell those waiting for us the car broke down (anc then to call the garage), to report a fire or other emergency, to check in with the office or family when on the road. Nearly all Western Caro lina and Westco Telephone Companies’ pay phones are in working order when you need them, and usually you can just walk up, read the instruction card, and make your call. But you’ve probably heard people say, “Those blankety-blank pay phones-when you really need one, they don’t work. The cord’s ripped out or the coin chute’s jammed.” You may have experienced those conditions yourself once or twice. Let me assure you that the phone company is just as frustrated by those conditions as you are. Pay phones are necessary in an emergency. And, quite frankly, they are a source of revenue for us, especially in this tourist and camping area-when they work. So it’s to our advantage as well as yours when they’re working. Then why does it seem that so many pay phones are sut of order? Some of our less considerate users are respon sible for most ooin phone damage. A great deal of vandalism is connected with attempts to get into the coin box. While these attempts are not usually successful, consi derable damage can be done to the phone in the process. Another problem is the “temper tantrum”-the caller ■ not like what he’s heard " or may even have lost his " dime because he doesn’t read ■ the instructions and dialed ■ improperly. In any case, he’ll ■ vent his anger on the ■ telephone. Pay phones are often " placed in remote, out of the H way places, for use in B emergencies, which makes it ■ easy for a vandal to wreck a ■ I Training Opportunities 8 I MAYLAND TECH | ★Unemployed ★ Women | ★Handicapped ★Minorities TRAINING IN: ★ Child CareN ★ Secretarial Work ★Typing ★ Business Management Minim un wage paid to eligible | students through Comprehensive | Em P ,o v ment * n d Training Act. | Apply at Mayland Technical Institute August 25-Sept 16, 8:30 - 12:30 Mayland 1 echnical Institute la now has a host of different outfits with very little money involved. I feel that any homemaker in the county could benefit from seeing this program that Becky is willing to present. She is also willing to visit with any group of ladies having a desire or interest in fabric coordinat ing. Please call the Agricul ture Extension Office at 682-6186 and give us your name and phone number if you are interested in attend ing. I need to know the number of ladies interested in order to schedule a time with Becky for this. *e LOW BUDGET COOKOUT Chuck and top round steaks and roasts are a good buy when you want to cook outdoors and are tired of pay station and be long gone before the damage is noted. But even a pay phone on a busy street comer isn’t immune. There are 23 Western Carolina and Westco Tele phone Companies’ employees who spend about 500 hours a year on pay stations: clean ing, repairing, and maintain ing them, and collecting the coins. Each pay station is checked at least twice per month during the tourist season, but with so many pay phones in scattered locations, we can’t always keep up with our less thoughtful neighbors. If you see or try to use a pay phone that’s out of order, or if you notice any other Book Corner Mrs. Gladys Coletta GREEN WINTER, CELEBRATIONS OF OLDAGE by Elise Maclay. 1977. Pp. 135 Thomas Y. Crowell Co., N.Y. “Let me grow lovely, growing old- So many fine things to do; Laces, and ivory, and gold. And silks need not be new; And there is healing in old trees- Old streets a glamor hold; Why may not I, as well as these, Grow lovely, Growing old?’ —K.W. Baker Green Winter, by Elise Maclay, is a series of vignettes of real people taken in the harvest years of their lives.

But chuck and top round steaks and roasts will demand special attention. For exam ple, tenderizing them helps. Tenderize mechanically by making the meat into a cube steak. Or, sprinkle on a commercial tenderizing mix ture before grilling. Chuck and top round cuts make good shish kabobs, too. Just cut the meat in chunks and marinate before grilling. Cook these meats as litle as possible so they’ll be more tender. Any overcooked meat is tough, so it’s especially important not to overcook these less tender cuts. Barbecue a top round steak only to medium rare. unsatisfactory condition, please report it to us as soon as you can. We’ll see that it’s fixed or cleaned properly. When you want to use a pay phone, please read the instruction card first. It’s located right on the front, under the dial. Reading the card can save you an awful lot of trouble—not all pay phones work the same way. Some are pre-pay, which means that you must put your dime in before you get dial tone. With pre-pay phones, the operator can usually return your money to you right away through the phone. The pay phones in Wea verville, however, are post pay; you get dial tone as soon as you lift the receiver. That ed and shared. The references walk a little way ahead of all of us who are not yet old, saying, “We are you later #• on. In spite of depicting the problems and infirmities of old age, the book reveals the courage and wisdom shining through in the tenderness and warmth of the human spirit of the elderly. They persevere in their belief that it is better “to wear out than to rust out.” Finally, in a note of triumph of the human spirit over failing flesh, these older people implore God in the following manner: “Help me to look only to this day, this hour, this minute. If the present is difficult, help me cope with it. If it is painful, help me bear it. If it is empty, help me fill it. If it is good, help me enjoy it. Most of all, help me live it.” | LAND AUCTION || Sat., Sept. 17-10:30 AM (| “Estatoe Acres”, Estatoe, N.C. {( jj (5 Miles From Spruce Plne-9 Miles From Burnsville) )| | -44 Choice Lots & Small Tracts-)! 11 This Is One Os The Finest Offerings Os Real Estate Ever In This Area.

For long distance calls you dial O for operator and the operator comes in, takes the details of the call and places it for you, and again, you don’t pay until the party you’re calling has answered. When pay phones are “post-pay” the operator can not return your money except by mail, so you can see how important it is to read the instruction card before you do anything. We don’t want you to lose your money, and following instructions on the card ensures that you won’t. But if you do lose any money, for whatever reason, let us know within a day or so and we’ll refund it to you by mail.

HOT ROLLS Wrap rolls or french bread in aluminum foil and place along edge or back of grill. They will burn if placed over the direct heat of the coals. Watch and turn them once in a while. The foil makes a dandy cover if opened carefully at the top and turned back neatly. Just leave the opening at the top big enough to get your hand in to take out a roll. They will keep hot for a long time. MELON The secret of good melon is to serve it cold, and the secret of serving it cold at the cookout in the middle of the summer is to have it really cold clear through before you start. Wrap in in' many layers of newspaper. Close the ends as well as the sides. Keep it in shady spot and it will be refreshing and cool when you serve it. It takes about 12 hours to chill so be sure to put it in the refrigerator the night before your picnic.
