THOUGHT FOR THE WiEEK:—“The perfect model makes
the perfect copy. The successful finish of everything on earth
depends on the right thought which brought it into being ”
Agnes Green Foster

that I had to continue them this week.
The Christmas Party sponsored by Mr. Day of the Star
Theatre in conjunction with the Girl Scouts. Boy Scouts, Y
M. C. A., and the Chatham County Department of Public
Welfare was so very highly appreciated and enjoyed by quite
a large number of children These children assembled on
Thursday. December 25th at 9:30 A. M, at the Y. M. C- A.
where they were served candy, fruits and nuts. After this
feature, a full two hour program of cartoons was shown at
the Star for their entertainment.
Many children in the vicinity of the office of the late
Dr. William A Harms were also made to feel very happy
on Christmas by Mrs. William A. Harr s Dr. Harris got a oig
thrill every year in bringing happiness and cheer to these
children. Orchids to her for seeing to it that they were still
remembered, ft taxes so little to make little ones happy. The
gleam that comes into their eyes is worth more than priceless
jewels. guest of
Mrs. Sarah Johnson of Waycross was the house
Mr- and Mrs. Fred D. Alford during the Christmas Season.
Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Alford (who by the way are cousins)
were reared together in Savannah and Waycross-. This was
the first Christmas they have spent together since their child¬
hood. Naturally, it was a big thrill for both of them. Mrs
Alford, who is quite a charming hostess helped to make every
minute of Mrs- Johnson’s stay very pleasant. Friday.

me to tell all of the granduer
about this particular home.
Another unque cuistandhf,

seen or known his whereabouts
for years. This home, too, is
R v equipped with up to
the minute furniture and fix¬
tures. It is located on the
bank of a river ten yards frem
' «a ei m a cool, quiet spot.
I dare not mention the glam-
