IN MEMORY OF
GUY W. CROOK
Guy William Crook was born on
April 29, 1905. He united with Cen
ter Grove Baptist Church on August
9, 1918. Asa young Christian, he
lived consistently and became a
good example for the church people
of his generation as he “Abounded
in the work of the Lord.”
Brother Crook was married to
Miss Bertha Dell Holman on April
4, 1926. He and his good wife gave
themselves largely to the training
union work of the church.
Brother Crook took his letter
from the Center Grove church on
September 3, 1933. He believed it
to be his duty to serve his Lord in
the community in which he lived.
Brother Crook served faithfully
and well as Training Union Director
of the Chicopee Baptist Church for
a number of years. His work was so
outstanding in the church until it
attracted the attention of the train
ing union workers in the churches
throughout the Chattahoochee As
sociation. There was a unanimous
demand on the part of many faith
ful workers for the service of Guy
William Crook as Associational Di
rector of the Training Union work
of the Chattahoochee Association.
In this capacity he served for a
number of years perfecting the best
organization and carrying forward
the most effective B. T. U. work to
be found in any Association in this
section of Georgia. He prayed much
and worked hard and when on Dec.
20, 1947, the finger of God touched
his eyelids into sleep there was a
vacant place left in many of our
hearts.
We thank God for his life of faith
ful service and extend to his dear
ones our deepest sympathy.
We recommend that a copy of this
be recorded on the minutes of the
church and a copy be sent to the
family and one to the Jackson
Herald.

In Memoriam
In loving memory of our beloved
husband and father, Mr. Daniel B.
Mathis, who passed away one year
ago today, June 13th.
More and more each day we miss
you and sweet memories linger with
the ones you left at home.
There is a day of sunny rest,
For every dark and troubled night
And grief may bide an evening
guest,
But joy shall come with morning
light.
God hath marked each sorrowing
day,
And numbered every secret tear,
And Heaven’s long age of bliss,
Shall pay for all his children
suffer here.
—Mrs. Daniel B. Mathis and
Children.

! SELF SACRIFICE OF
WORTHY NEGRO
FAMILY REWARDED
(Atlanta Journal)
ATLANTA, Ga —An elderly Ne
gro couple sat through the Spelman
college commencement exercises
Monday with tears of pride in their
eyes.
They saw their sixth and last
daughter graduated with honors as
president of her class. Her diploma
marked the end of a near-lifetime
job of hard work and self-sacrifice
on the part of the man and his wife
to educate six children.
The proud parents were John
Wesley Dobbs and his wife. The last
of their six honor graduates was
their youngest daughter, June.
John Wesley Dobbs is now 66. He
was born in the shadow of Kenne
saw mountain. He worked his way
through Morehouse college and
went to work as a, railway mail
clerk.
He was married, then came the
children—all girls.
His small salary as a railway
mail clerk was not enough to give
his girls the education he thought
they needed. He took on other jobs
in his off hours. By depriving them
selves, the elder Dobbses managed
to save a little each week for their
children.
Irene was the first to graduate
from Spelman. She took her degree
with honors and then went on to
do graduate work. She is now the
wife of a minister.
Then came Willie, Milicent, Jose
phine and Mattiwilda.
All graduated with honors. Some
were valedictorians of their classes.
Others were class officer^.
Like theii* eldest sister, all those
who followed went on to do grad
uate work. Three took graduate de
grees from Columbia university.
On eof them was Mattiwilda, who
received her degree there last week.
She is studying voice.
All but the last two are married.
Three are teaching. Another is the
wife of a successful insurance man.
June, too, plans to do graduate
work, and she may follow her sis
ters in the teaching profession.
The parents have lived almost
all their lives in Atlanta, and they
are leaders of the city’s Negro com
munity. The husband has been
grand master of the Prince Hall
Masonic grand lodge of Georgia
since 1932. He retired from the rail
way mail service some 15 years ago,
and since that time has worked for
the grand lodge.
All of the daughters sat with their
parents at Monday’s exercises.
There were some prideful tears in
their eyes too, for when the honors
were announced, little June the
baby—had upheld the family tra
dition.
WASH BY THE CLOCK
When using the washing machine,
run it by the clock. Specialists ad
vise 2 to 3 minutes for silks, rayons
and synthetics; 5 to 10 minutes for
slightly soiled cotton and linen;
10 to 15 minutes for very soiled cot
tons. If clothes are not clean in 15
minutes, they need hand rubbing
of very soiled places or another
washing in clean suds.
HELPS JUVENILE APPETITE
Children are likely to be in more
of a mood to eat supper if you in
terest them in quiet play for the
half hour preceding supper. Making
a doll bed, fitting together a puz
zle or rearranging doll house furni
turee are typical relaxing activities
that will get Junior and his sister
ready for quiet eating.
In addition to use as a shoe lin
ing, cotton cloth is widely used in
the shoe industry for backing thin
leathers for extra strength.
