Clean Nails With A Brush
Each Time You Wash Hands
By ALICIA HART,
NEA Beauty Editor
In the days before fingernail
polish provided cover-up for grimy
nail tips, a nail brush was an im
portant part of a woman’s mani
cure equipment. .
It still is, to any woman whose
beauty rituals are founded upon
self-respect. There’'s no substitute
for basic eleanliness in any good
looks program.
If your work, at home or on the
job, results within a few hours in
dirt-caked nails, it's a good idea
to provide for yourself a nail brush

Hooper Bible Class
Spent Sunday With
The Sid Chandlers
The Hooper Bible Class of the |
First Presbyterian Church was in
vited by Mr. and Mrs. Sid Chand
i ler to spend last Sunday with them
. at their lovely mountain home a
lmile out of Blairsville. The ride
through the beautiful country of
North Georgia in the early hours,
of the Sabbath day prepared the
members of the class for the hap
i py day of fellowship. !
The Chandler nome surrounded |
by the mountains—“the everlast- |
ing hills” and “the good earth” so
filled with waving corn brought
to mind the words from the scrip
ture—“The valleys are so full of
corn that they laugh and sing.” It
was in this setting that the men!
and women of the class gathered ,
on the front porch of the Chandler |
home for the Sunday service. Mrs.
D. L. Cloud, vice-president, pre
sided and the opening hymn,
“Come Thou Fount of Every
Blessing.” Miss Martha McAlpine
read the scripture and Mr. Chand
ler, the teacher of the class, taught
a wonderful lesson on “The Chris
tian’s Use of Money and Goods.”
He very forcefully presented the
tenth that every man is called
upon to realize, and that all that |
! he has is to be recetved as a trust |
from God, and that a man’s capa
city to grow in ability is in pro—l
portion to the way in which he
uses his gifts, remembering al
ways that “This Is My Father’s
World,” and that he speaks to us‘
everywhere. Truly He was speak
ing to each one present in a veryl
real way. Christian fellowship
with God and with each other was '
expressed in the closing hymn,
“Blest Be The Tie That Binds One
Heart In Christian iLove” and ini
the earnest prayer offered by Mr. !
! Jim Hartford. : i
The class voted to send a mes- |
sage of love to their pastor, Dr.l
Harmon B. Ramsey and to Mrs.]
W. D. Hooper, whose husband was
the’ founder and for a long: time
the fine teacher of the class,
! At the noon hour the group
! gathered under the great oak trees
'to partake of a sumptuous picnic“
i dinner. The blessing was said by’
| Sid Chandler, jr. §
! After a couple of hours of fel- |
: lowship together, Mr. Chandler,!
| like Joseph of old, “gave to each
‘of his brethren a sack of corn"|
and sent them home with joy in|
their hearts, as they thought of |
| te gracious hospitality of the Rev.,
l Chandler, the delightful day spent’
‘together, and the love for their.
{ church which made possible such
a Bible class. |
