Senior Citizens
'A Stitch Worth Doing'
Minnie Gaul, Lois Snowden and Bessie Newsome

Whoever said that retirement
age is 65? Chances are, they
haven't visited the Senior
Citizens Center in the LRC late-
ly — yes, WT staff photographer
Joe Boldon recently "dropped
in" and found a group of ladies
hard at work at a task they know
well.
Indeed, as the sign in the room
communicates, "A stitch worth
doing is worth doing well" —
and these "junior-hearted"
citizens were doing quite well,
thank you!
Others who had not recently
met new Center director, Gloria
Shaw, had that opportunity Mon-
day during a "get-acquainted"
tea held in her honor. A former
employee of Paris Junior
College in East Texas, Mrs.
Shaw and Rosa Walker, assis-
tant director, are responsible
for providing opportunities for
such activities as sewing, knit-
ting and stitching.
It is a matter of time before
the Center will relocate to the
former Travis Junior High
School, soon to be remodeled for
this program and for other local
agency offices. The Center and
office building will be south of
the new county jail currently un-
der construction.
Beginning Oct. 3, the Center
will serve noon meals for senior
citizens, according to Mrs.
Shaw. All county residents 60 or
above will be invited to par-
ticipate.
Food will be prepared in the
college cafeteria and
transported to the Center. The
meals program is funded
through the West Central Texas
Council of Governments, with
additional funds provided by the
Scurry County Commissioners
Court and the Snyder City Coun-
cil.
Truly, a stitch worth doing...
