LOUISA’S LETTER

Dear Louisa. I have recently moved to this part of the country from the west and I have been amazed at the friendliness of the people. My mother, who was very old. lived with us until a month after we came here to live. When she died, the neighbors on our street came over immediately and we were deluged with food and flowers. They brought in fired chicken, hot rolls, cakes and casseroles. They arranged flowers for the house and all of them came to the funeral. In our former home, a funeral was considered more or less of a private affair and that is why we were so astonished at the way these people acted. Is it a trait of the region or of just this

own ideas of safe trick-or-treating. For entertainment, club members attempted to guess the number of candies in four bottles, listened to a horror record and ate refreshments.

state? J.B-Ga. Answer: The people of the South, particularly those in the small towns, have always helped each other in times of trouble. The reason for sending gifts of food probably started because of the number of relatives who usually came from other places at such a time, and it was a convenience to the bereaved who had little time to give to planning and preparing meals for a number of people. It is comforting also, to know, that one’s friends are so thoughtful. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg, S. C. 29115

Diane Quance, a working mother herself, and the Consultation and Education specialist for the Bowen Center, will explore ways to minimize some of the stress working mothers may experience. Helpful information on developing realistic expectations and making the most of one’s time will also be provided. According to Bowen Center officials, the number of mothers working outside of the home has now passed the 50 per cent mark and these women are finding that instead of being a minority, they are fast approaching majority status. With this increase in the number of mothers working outside of the home comes a new demand for information and assistance in managing a household as well as being productive on the job. Many questions will be raised and explored during the three week class. How can a mother hold down a job and still have time for household chores in addition to giving the caring quality attention her family needs and expects? Are there some skills that can be learned in managing all of these factors? The class will meet at the Bowen Center Video Studio room on November 3, 10, and 17 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Working mothers are asked to call 267-7169, extension 283, or toll free 1-800-342-5653, extension 283, for registration information.
