Cotton Stamps Acceptable For Cotton
Gifts This Year, Merchants Point Out
the Porter Hotel at San
California, and who were among
those we tried in a feeble way to
entertain when in Atlanta for the
Kiwanis Convention in June . . .
Called us long distance and made
arrangements to fit our program
. . . They took us first to the Uni
versity of California where we
met that charming “Peggy’’, twen
ty year old daughter of theirs . . .
Gosh! But we do not know how
they have kept her out of the
movies! On out for a drive . . .
Pasadena . . . the beaches . . . and
on by their lovely home in San
Fernando . . . where Poinsettias
grow all around the Patio in full
blossom and are as tal as the
house ... we saw hedges of
geraniums and Fuchia trees as tal
as your head in the loveliest of
blossoms . . . Gosh its all gone to
our heads . . . we could hardly be
drug into the house for the lovely
tea arranged for us , . . and where
we met that charming eight year
old youngster of the family we
had heard so much about ... we
were very much disappointed that
“Patsy,” the eighteen year old
daughter could not be found at
College . . . they took us to a play
at the El Capitan . . . then to the
Brown Derby ... a night club
owned by the Ex-husband of Gale
Patrick . . . swanky place and we
could not eat for necking around to
see how many Movie Stars we
could recognize . . . for this was
in Hollywood. Right opposite us
at a table were a group ... the
gentleman on our left was the
one who plays with George Raft
in his Gangster pictures. He was
with the daughter of Cecil de Mille
. . . and Oh, well we could talk on
all night ... it was most morning
then, but the delicious food and
hot coffee revived us enough that
in the wee small hours we saw
Old Los Angeles . . . went down
on Olivera Street . . . and Mercy
Me! What a thrill! I’m afraid the
Flynns will never ask us to come
to California again ... we walked
the very sox off of them ... in one
shop out another . . . just tiny one
room shops . . . Mexican, Indian,
Chinese, Japanese and what have
you . , . The one fascinating us
most was the Candle House ... we
are going back sometime just to
buy us some candles . . . but dur
ing that day ... the Flynn’s might
laugh but aside from the joy of
...
seeing them, that lovely daughter
and son . . aftd just the thrill of
.
being in their lovely home ... the
one thing that stands out above
all else is . . that row of tree
.
roses in full blossom at “Peggy’s’’
Sorority House . . . That picture of
her tripping through them is an
indelible picture that will ever
remain with us . . . Yumpin Yupi
ter! I did want to express my
sentiments about the War ... and
how glad I was that I was back
home from San Francisco ... and
that Bill writes every other day
and sends his love to everybody
It’s Smart And Also

Pictures Planned
At P'Dale Church
The Harmon Foundation of
New York City completed re
cently a moving picture depicting
the life and developing civiliza
tion of the Belgian Congo which
is situated in the heart of the
dark continent of Africa, This
picture bears the title “The
Light Shines in Bakuba Land,”
will be brought to Porterdale and
presented at the Presbyterian
church on Sunday night, Dec. 21,
by Dr. H. M. Warshburn, who
serves as narrator and who for
the past several months has been
presenting this picture with his
own modem portable projector in
many of the largest churches in
the southland.
The picture is one that was
planned by experts and photo
graphed by a professional pho
tographer who was sent to Africa
by the Harmon Foundation. Dr.
Washburn himself is an outstand
ing authority on African life in
the Congo, having served as mis
sionary and Christian statesman
there for many years. Under the
expert direction of these two men,
the picture, “The Light Shines in
Bakuba Land," was planned and
executed with such evident skill,
human interest, historical accu
racy, and spiritual appreciation
that it has been acclaimed by the
pastors and leaders of the largest
Presbyterian churches in the
south the best picture of its kind
ever produced. Typical comment
is that of Dr. D. P. McCieachy,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Decatur, “If one were
compelled to forget all other pic
tures of native life and Christian
work in Africa and remember i
only one, this should undoubtedly j
be that one.
About hour and twenty '
one
minutes in length, the picture
will take the place of the regular
night service at 7:00 o’clock on
December 21. There will be no
admission charge and the whole
community is invited.

You bet it’s fun to be Santa, we know it, even if we ?
are storekeepers. We know it from personal ex
perience, we buy gifts, too, we know the joy of
giving, the spirit that is abroad during the Christmas
season, the spirit that IS Christmas.
We know it’s fun to be Santa because we see hun
dreds of them every year—rich folk, poor folk,
people in all walks of life imbued with a common
purpose—the enjoyment and observance of Christ
mas with all Its traditions and customs. We’ve
watched all these Santas come in—their faces
eager, and no doubt with eager hearts, too, and ^ -
every one of them determined to get the finest gifts M
he possibly can. And they do get the finest gifts for
their money—we see to that. Helping others to en- L
joy a perfect Christmas is our job. And our job is a K
great part of our Christmas!
