weapon in the defense of America.

at 10 o’clock a. m. The bride is the

ry and is a graduate of Perry High

held a position with the Parker Mo
tor Company in Perry. After a
wedding trip of several days, Mr.
and Mrs. Brid'ges have arrived in
Blakely and are residing at the home
of Mr. Bridges’ father, Mr. J. W.
Bridges.
OUR Y.W.A. AND OUR PEOPLE
I speak not only for myself, but
for the whole Y.W.A. Instead of
our regular program, we turned our
meeting Monday night into a general
discussion of the attitude of our
town, our church and our people. Oh,
yes! I know we shouldn’t say any
thing about our people, why they have
carried things on in this same man
ner for years, and we’ll probably get
our mouth smashed if we have any
thing to say about the way they do
it. But at the same time we still
think our people should be more
friendly to strangers or new-comers
to our town. How many of us go
to a stranger at church and tell him
how proud we are to see him there
and that we want him to come back.
Oh, of course our faithful preacher
always does, but how many others
do.
One certain person tells us of how
she went to church upon moving to
town and was spoken to only by the
Pastor. And still the people of
Blakely expect her to go on to church.
As she stated, if she is going some
place to freeze, why not step in the
ice box, at least it won’t be as cold
as the church. Oh, I know we don’t
mean to foe selfish, but do we ever
stop to think about how we appear
to strangers when we let them come
and go without even so much as a
friendly word?
We have had the same town and
the same people so long until we can
not bear the thoughts of some strang
er breaking into our little circle, but
at the same time, how do you think
that makes the stranger feel—not at
home, I am sure. Let’s all think about
it and try to treat our newcomers
with more consideration, why not?
Just a few friendly words can do so
much for someone’s feelings.
Another subject we discussed was
how little some of us show our patrio
tism. How many of us stand while
our national anthem is played? And
when one of us does dare to stand,
we are probably laughed at and made
fun of. Now, is that real patriotism?
And another thing, when a United
States flag is flashed on the screen
of our theatre, how many acknowl
ege the fact that it really is our flag?
But just let us drive over to one of
our neighboring towns and see their
reaction toward the same thing. I
think we will find them cheering
with all due respect to our Flag and
country. Why can’t we do the same
thing? Come on let’s try it. “God
Blessed America—pull for it or pull
out.”
We may have gotten a little out
of our place, but this is how we feel
about these two subjects and I’m sure
there are others who feel the same
way we do, so come on let’s see if
we can’t do something about it.
We might even get some help from
“Tige” in his column, since he has
had much more experience in writing
such things than we have.
