tester Dixon Day 1 Held
At Patterson on Sunday
By Paul Robinson
In The Waycross
Jolrnal-Herald
One of Southeast Georgia's
most beloved citizens was hon
ored in Patterson Sunday dur
ing “Lester Dixon Day” at
Patterson Baptist Church.
The Rev. H. Lester Dixon
spoke during the homecoming
service at the morning wor
ship hour at the church, then
was center of attention at
special services during the
afternoon.
The day, proclaimed by
Mayor Nesbert Thomas and
the city council of Patterson,
attracted an overflow congre
gation during the morning
worship and most stayed for
the basket lunch spread at the
noon hour, then attended the
afternoon ceremony honoring
the Rev. Mr. Dixon.
During the “Lester Dixon
Day” ceremonies, held on the
80th birthday of the minister,
the Rev. Mr. Dixon was prais
ed by old and young alike for
his contributions to Pierce
County and a plaque was pre
sented by the mayor to the
honoree.
Many humorous and drama
tic incidents were recalled in
paying tribute to the Rev. Mr.
Dixon for almost 45-years as
Georgia’s 50,000th
total-electric home
is such a nice place
to visit you’d probably
want to live there.
' lb
The house and the setting are one:
rustic, homey, serene. With a real stone
fireplace just for mood.
With lots of windows to let the sunlight
in. Interior lighting to do what the sunlight
can’t. And outdoor lighting to do what the
moonlight can’t.
You’d never feel heat or humidity or cold.
Because the electric heat pump is quietly
at work. You’d never be bothered by pollen or
dust. Because the air is cleaned electronically.
You could bake a turkey in four hours if
you have time. In an hour if you don’t. Because
the versatronic range cooks conventionally
or electronically.
You could warm the bread under infra-red
light while you broil the steaks on the electric
patio grill.
There’s just no end to what you could do
with these bright new electric ideas.
Whether your own home is modern or rustic
or somewhere in between.
The 50,000th total-electric home is located
at 610 Riverside Road. Roswell, Georgia. If
you’re in the neighborhood, stop in and visit.
Open house begins Sunday, September 22.

a minister and rural mail
carrier.
Lonnie Sweat, former mem
ber of the State Board of Edu
cation, congratulated the com
munity for honoring Mr. Dix
on, saying, “It is good to pin
the flowers on him while he
may breathe their fragrance.”
He said the .minister has given
youth the blessings and ad
vantage of his experiences
through “wise counsel” and
built many bridges.
The Rev. Wayne Ates, of
Laura Chapel Baptist Church,
referred to the Rev. Mr. Dixon
as “an old time, all-time reli
gion man who practices what
he preaches. “AU of us call
you blessed,” the Rev. Mr.
Ates told the honored minis
ter.
The Rev. Clyde Thomas said
the Rev. Mr. Dixon “has com
forted more people than any
one I know” and paid tribute
to the minister as “a Chris
tian on the inside that shines
on the outside.”
Many voiced tributes to the
Rev. Mr. Dixon for “bringing
many to Christ” and the hon
ored minister reportedly often
gave the salary he earned as
a pastor to needy families of
the community and once used
his salary to pay off a mort-
gage on a church.
J. J. Porter, who said he
helped ordain the Rev. Mr.
Dixon to the .ministry, said,
“We love you and know you
we. I

Not only are we grateful for receiving 20,169 votes, but we are deeply grateful
also for carrying every county and every precinct in every county in the entire Sixth
Senatorial District. We are very happy that we received a 4-1 victory. We are also
thankful for carrying every county and every precinct in every county in two previous
campaigns.
love us. You must have been '
sent from above.”
In a “This Is Your Life”
brief presented by Mrs. Os
well Smith, the Rev. Mr. Dix
on was cited for his tolerance,
compassion and humility. The
brief paid tribute to the minis
ter for “the tremendous in
fluence you have had on the
life of people in this commun
ity through justice, peace and
decency.”
The plaque presented to the
minister by Mayor Thomas
paid tribute to the Rev. Mr.
Dixon as one of the outstand
ing men in Southeast Georgia
“who has rendered a lifetime
of service in spiritual and phy
sical ways to the rich and poor
alike.”
In his response, the Rev.
Mr. Dixon said, “I have tried
to practice sincerity, compas
sion and humility in my life.”
The Rev. W. C. Rice, pastor
of Patterson Baptist Church,
was master of ceremonies for
the event.
Sharing the occasion with
the Rev. Mr. Dixon were his
two daughters, Mrs. Truman
Riggins of Patterson and Mrs.
Earl Smith of Montgomery,
Ala., several grandchildren
and one brother.
