We understand he was caught completely un aware of the planned surprise and even though his son, Park, Jr., came to Jackson from Orange burg, S. C. to see his father re ceive this high honor, Mr. Newton did not dream of his winning the award We continue to be amazed at the spunk of Mrs. W. M. ‘Loma’ Redman.

Just Mon day we saw her down on East Third Street as if she were out for a leisurely stroll but at the some time having a specific des tination in mind. We would prob ably all be better off if we just got half the exercise she gets by walking Let us take this opportunity to invite you to drive by the home of Rev. B. H.
