Macrame, ancient art
(Continued from Page C 2)
ferent plant hangers ” She has
made a variety of other gifts, but
her most involved project to date
was a knotted wreath which she
estimates took about 25 hours to
complete The wreath is a work of
art, consisting of a senes of square
knots done in groups of four There
are 540 square knots in the finished
project Charlotte says, “I enjoyed
doing it. It was exciting to see
things coming out as I worked ’ ’
So far she has enjoyed attending
craft shows and getting ideas from
others. She says, "I try to always
have something to work at I
haven’t made anything to sell, and
I think it would be hard to set a
price, but some day I hope I can
sell some pieces ”
She has taught her two oldest
children to macrame, and she has
shared her enthusiasm by
demonstrating the craft for the
fifth grade class at Farmdale
Elementary School where her
children attend
While she continues that she does
very little except macrame, she
has many of the usual activities of
a mother and some other duties as
well. Since her husband runs his
business from his- home, it is
Charlotte’s cheerful voice which
most customers hear when they
call for service. Charlotte also
helps with the billing.
The Charles’ family belongs to
the East Chestnut Street Men
nonite Church where Charlotte
teaches the fifth and sixth grades

A family hobby is raising horses
and riding together Naturally that
involves cleaning stables for the
five horses and recent foal
Charlotte adds, “We used to do a
lot of trail riding Now Jim and
Mike are team roping.”
Both Mike and Melissa are
members of the Boots and Saddles
4-H Horse Club and Charlotte says,
"They both like to ride in shows -
but they have butterflies before the
show starts ” Charlotte also does
her share of participating in horse
shows, so they are truly family
affairs
In addition to the work with the
horses, the family also works
together in Charlotte’s large
garden. “I like it and can hardly
wait to get out and work,” she said
as this interview was conducted on
a grey Winter afternoon She also
takes care of the lawn and fills two
big freezers in addition to canning
a lot of fruit Charlotte says she
loves to cook and try different
recipes
She is also concerned about
physical fitness and she is a
familiar sight to neighbors on her
bicycle in good weather She feels
regular exercise is important and
goes to the Health Spa in Park City
up to three tunes a week to work
out for about an hour or more She
says, 'I really enjoy doing it ”
When she doesn’t go to Park City
she exercises regularly to a
television exercise program

LANCASTER Consumers can
expect pork prices to remain at
current levels for the first halt of
1981 According to the National
Pork Producers Council, the
supply of pork continues to be
plentiful and economical retail
prices will make pork a excellent
value for the consumer
Estimates had been made by
some that pork prices would rise
by as much as 25 percent Now,
this is not expected to happen. The
change in expectations has been
caused by a higher than expected
number of hogs on America’s
farms
To take advantage of 198Ps good
Even the busiest of mothers
needs tune for themselves, so
perhaps a craft like macrame
would brighten your schedule and
shorten the days until real spring is
here

When you buy pork, you are
buying great nutrition, as well as
value. Today’s pork illustrates a
new concept for many con
sumers—nutrient density. Pork is
a "nutrient-dense” food, meaning
it’s high in nutrients for the
calories consumed.
