GIFTS OF OUR FOREFATHERS
By MAMIE OZBURN ODUM
^ere b a pride none can compare
T 0 mV dreams of long ago;
As c^np-fi res sparks to heaven rose,
Os noble men that met the foe
Only by stories told, and retold
Os these pioneering bands
That dared marauders as they tracked
O'er mountains, rivers and sands;
They sought for homes of liberty,
Those rugged pioneers,
They feared no Redman’s arrow,
They dreamed of wide frontiers.
There is a pride none can compare
To the women that stood the test,
As covered wagons circled close
for a hazardous night of rest—
As men stood straight and watchful,
Mothers’ prayed, children hid in fright
As they camped against the enemy
Hidden by the dark of night.
Across deep rivers, o’er burning plains
Often food was spoiled or spare,
Yet, through each danger struggled on
With Hope, Courage, and Prayer.
May we their spirits glorify,
Let the flag of freedom wave,
And fight for right of democracy,
Birthright fore-father’s gave.

Regular Meeting For
Ethel Belcher Girls
PORTERDALE — The Ethel
Belcher Girl Reserves met re
cently for their regular meet-
■ ing. Our president called the
meeting to order Then we had
the roll call.
Yvonne Johnson had a wonder
ful program, as follows:
Devotional, Luke 4:18-19, Jan
Sears; piano solo, Sandra Bow
den; poem, Joyce Allen; story,
j “Homes of the Congo,” Yvonne
Johnson; song, “The Star Spang-
। led Banner,” and prayer, Miss
Acree.
JAN SEARS
j generosity. He was sent tp Europe
twice immediately after the last
war. On one of the trips, im
mediately after the Armistice, he
went into Germany and his party
| carried canned foods, chocolates,
cigarettes, and extra clothing be
cause of the utter lack of same in
that area. One of those who ac-,
companied him told him Mr. Cox
went to their railroad car and got
the 'vhole supply and distributed
it to hungry, ragged German
children he found on the streets.
As they were returning to the
‘rain. Mr. Cox pulled off a
swearer he was wearing and gave
it to a little child. The American
party then had no reserve food
stock to fall back on during the
rest of their trip. On another
occasion he was sent to England
for a conference. Noting some of
the British conferees with frayed
cuffs and ragged coats, he went
to his hotel room and gave them
all of the colthing he had brought
except that which he was wear-
I mg.
The histories of these two men
are typically American - One
foreign born, one native born. The
Communists have nothing with
which to combat the argument of
their life histories.
