The Butterfly’s
Trail
By Albert Mary Thweatt
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
‘‘We can always live on less when we have more to live for.
The soul can command the body and will do so until one’s task
is achieved. The marching army or the contesting Athlete may
reach the goal by one supreme effort. Life has a single aim
—to finish the work which thou gavest me to do.”
GREENBRIAR
The children of Greenbriar experienced a thrill that will
long be remembered by them when they were taken to the
auditorium in cars . . . Congratulations to all who made the
ocpasion possible . . . and the children express a million thanks,
Greenbriar now has eight boys and seven girls to enjoy
the beautiful congenial and homelike atmosphere that per¬
meates the surrounding . . By the way . . it would be a grand
gesture . . most certainly appreciated if interested persons will
search their closets for outgrown shoes, coats, dresses, under¬
wear or what have you for children from three to fourteen
yeajs . . . Just bundle them up and call Mrs. Martha Wilson-
(2-37611 and she will be more than delighted to see that they
arejpicked up. If however, you happen to be passing by her
resMtynce. 927 W. 41st street, just drop what you have and . . .
thajnks a million for doing your “good deed” for the day.
SYMPATHY ? t '
Was so sorry to have learned of the passing of the late Mrs.
Katie Hamilton and Mrs. Jaunita Baisden. Mrs. Hamilton
Was the mother of Mrs. Geneva Hamilton Stokes . . Mrs. Bais-
rien was for years an instructor in the Home Economics De¬
partment of Beach-Cuyler. Her retirement was due to her
failing health. Both of the deceased were held in high
esteem by their many friends. Their passing has caused a
great gloom to hover over the city. This column extends sin¬
cere sympathy. * fc” • lOtl
