OBSERVATIONS
f&s AND
Mjk SPECULATIONS
By MADAME ROAMER
In roaming around town I saw:
That flower lovers who have
shrubbery and flowers on corner
lots ought to get in the automobile
and drive around said corner just
to see how the view is obstructed
and then maybe—maybe they
would trim them back severely.
Rose Marie and Jimmy Jr., at
tractive children of the J. C. New
tons, report a big time at the state
Masonic convention in Valdosta last
week. They’re going to be “A Ma
son and An Eastern Star” when they
grow up, so they say.
Edgar McMichael made a grand
junior choir leader during the series
of services at the Methodist church
last week. He can really coax the
children into doing their best.
No wonder the hearts of the Mer
cer boys are “loosed from their
moorings” when they look at love
ly Marion Minter, who is a student
thex - e. She surely was “easy on
the eyes” Sunday when she was be
decked in her spring finery.
FINCHERVILLE
Mrs. Clifford Lunsford and chil
dren visited Mrs. Lunsford’s par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Blissett,
Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lofton visited
their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Lofton, at Worthville Sunday.
Little Miss Margaret Kitchens of
Ola spent a few days last week
with Misses Vivian and Annette
Pope.
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Smith and
son, James, Mr. and Mrs. Leon
Smith and children attended the
Mother’s Day dinner given at the
home of Mrs. Ida Townsend Sun
day.
Mrs. Travis Christian and Mr.
and Mrs. Slaton Lunsford spent
Sunday with Mr. Clifford Luns
ford.
Miss Ruth Hodges, student at
Bessie Tift College, spent the
week-end with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. B. H. Hodges.
Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Lunsford and
family of Woodstown visited Mr.
and Mrs. Clifford Lunsford and
family Saturday.
Friends of Mrs. B. C. Lunsford
regret to know she is ill at Georgia
Baptist Hospital in Atlanta. We
wish fer her a speedy recovery.

Alexander Graham Belli First Telephone
From this
crude
beginning
. . . the telephone has been
made a world-wide medium of
voice communication ... a de
pendable servant, available at
low cost, to people in all walks
of life. This remarkable achieve
ment is the result of American
initiative, organization and in
genuity.
The 21,500 Southern Bell
workers have had an impor
tant part in this achievement.
It is a source of satisfaction to
them to know that they, to
gether with thousands of other
Bell System workers, have made
it possible for anyone today
using a Bell or Bell connected
telephone to talk to almost any
point in America, many foreign
countries, and to ships at sea.
Americans enjoy the best,
most dependable and cheapest
telephone service in the world.
They are assured of its continu
ance because it is the Com
pany’s policy to keep telephone
facilities and quality of service
ahead of public expectation.
