Throodbout Macey, ancient
pas asthma always had a
wiry of combining with cele-
.rationsof the early Cbristian
church, so that by modern
limes ft.is almost impossible
to separate secular and
sacred traditions.
Certainly the Easter bunny
has nothing to do with the Bib-
lical events that stemmed
from that early Palestinian
Passover, and yet, somehow,
it all blends together into ac-
eeptaWe farm.
All early cultures--rele-
brated spring festivities, so
many rituals stem from these.
Even our custom of wearing
new clothing for spring dates
back long ago. You might visit
the Wirary and read up on
some of these beginnings.
ibis century's song "Easter
Parade" had something to do
with a new spring hat being
part of one's Easter outfit
also, even if no one wears
"bonnets" as such any more.
Both males and females will
enjoy receiving perky Easter
cards that once again prove
bow the modern and tradi-
tional can be combined in a
brand new way.
It's nice to mal greetings to
relatives and friends far
away; nicer still, if your card
is "custom made." You can
be certain they can't possibly
get another one just like
yam.
Along with colored a n-
straction paper and felt pens,
you only need some scraps of
felt material, bits of rickrack,
two -hole buttons, scissors and
glue -
Fold the piece of paper,
suitable card size, in half.

NEGIECPED CHILDREN
TURIN, Italy — Six chil-
dren aged from 10 months to 9
years, who have lived since
l irth locked up in a small
room lit only by one dim bulb,
have been taken from their
unmarried mother and
platted in a children's home
here.
Glue on the buttons which be-
come a face whose eyes are
the boles. A dab of felt or nail
polish below these, gives the
button -face a mouth. Next,
cut out a felt bat, as suggested
in the illu atian —.> a stove-
pipe for a fellow, a fancy cha-
peau for a feminine corre-
spondent. Paste this on along
with a felt collar, scarf or fan-
cy tie. Then, glue a band of
rickrack along the edge of the
card front's three open edges,
choosing colors that blend or -
complement tbe felt.
All that's left to do is write a
message inside or compose an
appropriate poem, just as in a
commercial greeting card.
And, just so folks at home
won't feel left out, you can
make smaller cards to serve
as perky lice tags around
the family table or if a party is
being *ivied during your
Easter vacation.

QUESTIONS WOMEN ASK
Aging brings lines, wrinkles
By ELEANOR B.
RODGERSON, M.D.
Q. What goes wrong with an
otherwise healthy woman
who now finds herself getting
ugly lines around her mouth?
What can be done to avoid
such aging?
A. lines and wrinkles in the
skin come with aging. There
is loss of fatty and elastic tis-
sue, Some women notice
these changes earlier than
others, somg„ women retain
more pliable skin than others.
Perhaps facial expression,
the way a woman has held
her mouth throughout her
life, has something to do with
it.
When a woman approaches
the menopause ( the last of
her menstrual periods) and
her estrogen level drops, we
know the soft stretchable mu-
cus membrane of the vagina
atrophies, thins and shrinks.
Hormones are closely con-
nected with the aging process
and artificial application of
estrogens, where indicated,
softens the tissue. again.
Facial beauty aids have
also made use of estrogens,
but the results are not as dra-
matic as in treatment of the
vagina and there are possible
COOKING CORNER,
Miss Annie's fame
spreads over South
By SUSAN IALIGIrr
Besides a . meandering
stream in a hollow of the Ten-
nessee mountains near the
village of 'Mahon'Was
s
Annie presides over a kitchen
whence come such famous
Southern dishes as black-
eyed peas with ham hocks,
turnip greens and pot likker
and fried ,country ham with
red-eye grvy.
Muss Annie's mutation as
a good cook has spread all
over the South, bringing pro-
posals of marriage from men
hundreds of miles away.
"One man wrote that he
wanted to come and try my
food and if it was as good as
his mother used to make he
would take me home with
him,"• she laughingly re-
counted.
"I wrote and thanked him
and explained that I had been
happily married for years
and am a mother and grand-
mother,' she said. "My hus-
band, Edward Weaver, gets a
kick out of telling people he is
becoming known as `Mr. An-
nie,", she added.
WIDE REPUTATION—Mrs Annie (Ws. Edward Weaver) of Tullahoma, Tenn., exhibits

Miss Annie is the official
hostess at a museum and gift
shop called the Dickel Gener-
al Merchandise Store.
" ►s :
road from a0day where
sour -mash whisky — and
that's the way to spell it — is
produced," she explained.
Miss Annie says that every-
one who .comes to Tennessee
wants to see a still and the
Grand Old Opry.
"We're about an hour's
drive from Nashville head-
quarters for the Grand Old
Opry. We catch the tourists
en route to and from Nash-
ville," she said..
Miss Annie wears a long
gingham dress and lacy sun-
bonnet at the museum.
"Tourists come from all
over the world and my cos-
tume and the food I prepare
never fail to intrigue.. them,"-
she explained. „ "I give out
recipe folders containing rec-
ipes I have compiled — some
.of these have been in my fam-
ily for hundreds of years —
and I serve. refreshments. By
special arrangements, I also
serve luncheons.
"We only serve small
groups — from six to eight —
ones which can be • seated
comfortably in the old-fash-
ioned kitchen.
"I have to know several
days in advance, for I pre-
pare everything 'from
scratch.' I like to soak my
buck -eyed peas overnight."
Miss Annie says she some-
times makes corn relish and
pickles to sell at the museum.
"I can't make enough to
keel?' the shelves supplied.
They go out so fast," she said.
She is now collecting old
recipes for a Bicentennial
cookbook which she hopes to
have completed by the spring
of 1976.
"I'm collecting old reme-
dies and household hints,
too," she said. "I'm going to
work them over so they can
be understood and used by
homemakers of today.
Among the recipes are ones
for my grandmother's Black
Jam and Molasses Cakes."
Many of her recipes, she
says, call for sour -mash
whisky — famous in that part
of the South.
"All of the alcoholic content
of the whisky evaporates dur-
ing cooking, leaving only the
good flavor," she explained.
"Do you know how sour -
mash whisky is made?" It is
gentled and smoothed and
rounded by slow, slow filter-
ing through 1e- feet of packed
charcoal granules."
She said the mash from
which the whisky is made is
soured a hill day before fer-
mentation.

contraindications for their

There is a lot we do not
(know about aging. I think we
have to accept , its changes
gracefully and make the best
of it. There are compensa-
tions for having gotten
through the hectic younger
years. Each decade has its
unique advantages and dis-
advantages. We cannot turn
the pages back and we may
as well dwell upon the posi-
tive
osttive aspects.
Q. I'm into health foods.
What is the effect of the birth,-

A. There are metals in our
bodies without which our
health suffers. These are in
such small percentages that
they are called "trace." Cop-
per and zinc are two of them
and they are increased when
• birth control pills are taken.
