We send ‘Thank You' notes "o
all our friends who perform kind
deeds for us. but how man> of
us take the time to -nd God a
’Thank You’ note The little
pill’s prayer "God Thank You
For Everything. " is a prayer we
should use more frequently.
Cometime ago I overheard a
conversation in which the fol
lowing remark was made: "1 have
nothing for which to be thank
ful.” I do not know the circum
stances affecting the person from
whom this statement came, but
I do know that she was sightless
to the many blessings around
her. One reason we fail to see
our blessings is because we are
constantly talking and thinking
about our sorrows and disap
pointments.
11 might be well if. unlike the
little girl's prayer, we count our
blessing# and mention them by
name. We could spend endless
hours, enumerating them. Life it
self is a gift for which we owe
eternal gratitude to our Creator.
If such a list were made and
we should audibly thank God for ’

ROBERT V. OZMENT Ph. D.
Pastor Alien Memorial Church
H.s goodness, it w^pld take most
of the day to offer our prayer
of thanksgiving. Somewhere near
the top of the list we would
thank God for the power of an
endless life. We would offer
thanks for Christ and the prin
c.ples he taught; for honest men
and the Church. Can you imagine
living m a place where the prin
ciples of Jesus are ignored, hon
est men lacking, and the church
non-existent? Such a list would
be almost endless.
Have you ever thanked God
for your body? You have two
eyes with which to see the bcau
’ ty of our world. They automati
cally adjust to light. The lens
i of your eyes are better and more
! delicate that those in the most
! expensive cameras. We are able
to distinguish color, and focus
on objects far and near.
We should thank God for our
hands: the sense of sound and J
I smell. Thing of the tragedy of (
being able to see a beautiful rose (
and unable to experience its ■
fragrant aroma. We enjoy the
aroma which comes from the
Newton Hi Open
House Attracts
Many Parents
One of highlights of the school
year was enjoyed Thursday even
ing at Newton County High
School, when Homer F. Sharp,
Supervising Principal, and Fac
ulty, and Newton High Student
Council were hosts to school
patrons and friends, in observ
ance of National Education Week.
Guests, who assembled in the
I School auditorium, at 7:30, were
| extended a cordial welcome by
I Mr. Sharp, who then turned the
(meeting over to Student Council
| President Marshall Edwards.
(President Edwards led the group
jin the Pledge to the Flag, and
in singing “America the Beauti
ful’. before presenting other
Student Council members, led by
vice-president Sue Pratt in an
impressive devotional. Other par
ticipants in this phase of the
program, which concluded with
a special number. “O, God Our
Help In Ages Past”, were: Lucy
! Floyd Morcock, Diane Wright,
. Monty Wilson, Peggy Crews,
| Betty Anne Masten, Freddy
( Greer, Johnny Capes, and David
I Snodgrass.
"It Takes Time", a. though pro
voking skit, with pungent revel
ations of the “too busy” parents
of the teen-ager, as the underly
ing source of most of his prob
lems. was cleverly presented by
David Snodgrass as Mr. Sharp;
Marshall Edwards and Peggy
Crews as the "Busy Parents" and
Phil Milligan as the Teen-ager
with adjustment problems.
Eddie Najjar, Newton High
Student Counselor, who was pre
sented by Mr. Sharp, then intro
duced the Faculty members in
his own inimitable way.
The second phase of the pro
gram consisted of a tour of the
practically completed addition to
the High School, and home room
visits by parents, where they
were welcomed by their chil
dren s home room teachers and
invited to discuss phases of the
School program and any prob
lems relative to their children.
At the conclusion of the visit
ing period, guests were invited
into the School Cafeteria, where
they were served delicious cook
( ies and punch by Mrs. Dungan
McKinsey and members of her
( Home Economics Department,
j and Mrs. Pitts Robertson, Dieti
' tian.
Student Council members serv
( ed as efficient and courteous
j guides for the some 350 guests
attending. The Freshman Class,
i whose president is Doug Dooley
j won the contest in Highest Num
। ber of Parents attending; and
Home Room 9 D had the highest
| percentage of Home Room Visit
i ors.
Girl Scout Troop
8 Hold Meeting
By ELIZABETH FITZPATRICK
Girl Scout Troop No. 8 held
its regular meeting at the Legion
Hall Friday, November 16. After
a short business meeting and a
discussion of badges, we hiked
to the hospital. On our way we
stopped by Mr. Mobley's house
to see his birds. He has quail,
doves, parakeets and canaries.
We carried Nature booklets to
the hospital. Each one in the
troop made one. Some were on
animals, others were about birds,
flowers or trees. Mrs. Reid
thanked us very much for them
and said she knew the patients
would enjoy them, especially the
children.
We will not have a meeting
nxt Friday because of Thanks
giving holidays. Some of our
girls are going to be out of town,
baking of an apple pie; or the
fragrant perfume on our best
girl as we sit underneath a full
moon during an autumn night.
Have you ever thanked God for
your feet? They are constantly
at your demand. Someone said.“l
complained about my feet hurt
ing until I met a man who had
no feet”. We may complain about
weak, eyes, but when we hear
the tap of a blind man’s cane we
should hang our heads in shame.
Many people will sit around
tables adorned with fine linens,
sparkling tumbler, glittering
silver and plenty of food during
this season and forget to thank
God. Instead of complaining we
should count our blessings and
offer prayer of thanksgiving.
Make a list of the things that
make life worthwhile for you
and offer a prayer of thanks
giving. not only during this sea
son, but everyday of the year.
