• S-30 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, August 22, 1974
Charity begins in the home of Betty Moran
to extend a quietly compassionate hand to those
in need.
For more than 20 years Mrs. Moran has
pursued an unusual and unselfish hobby. To
rummage sales sponsored by St. David's
Episcopal Church and by the Mason General
Hospital Auxiliary are donated quantities of
quality garments. Not all of them, however, are
wearable.
"We offer for sale only clean clothing in
good condition," Betty Moran explains, "and
that's where I can help."
She takes into her home the articles in need
of repair. She mends, replaces buttons, washes,
dry cleans, remodels. Under her talented touch
the renovated apparel looks like new.
When families in the area lose their
possessions in a fire, to whom can they turn for
immediate assistance? To Betty Moran. From
neat racks she provides cleaned and pressed and
ready-to-wear clothing in almost every size for
BETTY MORAN creates attractive clothing from cast-offs.
men, for women, for children.
"I maintain a sort of clearing house for
second-hand clothing," she laughs. "Garments
that I fail to find a home for are divided
between the Mason General Hospital Auxiliary
and St. David's Guild for their annual rummage
sales. Then I take home another load of
unsaleable items and work them over."
Mrs. Moran doesn't believe in waste. Parts of
garments are salvaged when the entirety is
beyond redemption. Below many a ragged
bodice there billows a full-skirted wealth of
good fabric to be restyled into something new.
An old sweater to the average eye may look
like a total loss. To Betty Moran it looks like a
pair of mittens for cold and empty little hands.
Fleece linings from worn-out coats can be
used in a dozen different ways. Old shower
curtains are made into covers to protect her
fresh and attractively recycled dresses.
Tiny scraps of fabric left from the cutting of
pattern parts are carefully saved for trimmings

combined into tiny bibs and bootees and stuffed
animals.
'Betty Moran never buys toys for her 14
grandchildren. Christmas, birthday and
in-between gifts are handmade treasures. The
products of her inspired needles enrich local
bazaars, and she is chairman of the Mason
General Hospital Auxiliary workshop.
Her attic is filled with things too good to
throw away. A sewing room holds two
machines, a cutting board, pattern f'des, two
looms. From this horn of plenty there issues an
unbelievable abundance including rugs and quilts
gleaned from otherwise unusable bits of cast-off
cloth.
If anyone can make something out of
nothing, it's Betty Moran, whose generosity is as
great as her ability.
She gives gladly and freely of time, that
irreplaceable and all-too-often wasted
commodity.
