You may not know it, little one,
but you and your telephone are going to be
real friends, all your life. You’ll be
able to call upon your phone to help you
do a thousand-and-one things.
And it will respond by bringing other
friends to you . . . and by making your
life easier and more pleasant.
Where earlier generations saw the telephone
as a modern miracle, you’ll come to
take its faithful service for
granted. Yet, as you grow, you’ll see
many new developments — even
now taking shape — that will make your
friend, the telephone, more than
ever a part of better living.

GRANDMOTHER'S OLD
ROCKING CHAIR
It w’as old from the paint-scarred
arm rests
To the sagging broken springs;
As it stood in a darkened corner
Where the spiders wove lace
rings.
With dust of years thick upon it
It rested neglected there
Reverently I touched my treasure
My grandmother’s old rocking
chair.
I could almost hear the patter
Os running childish feet,
And the happy laughter lingered
Where the attic rafters meet.
I saw the children smiling
As I rocked it to and fro,
Saw baby hands reach upward
Through dim years of long ago.
Someone has called it dreaming,
But Oh, those dreams are
sweet;
As you linger in the gloaming
Where the attic rafters meet!

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our little
son and baby brother, Charles
Wayne Lawson, who left us one
year ago today, January 31, 1956.
“One year ago this lonesome day,
God called you, our darling
and you went away.
The days are long, dreary, sad
and blue. For our life is so
awful empty without you,
When evening shadows are fall
ing, and we are all alone,
In our hearts, there comes a
longing, baby if you could
only come home.”
Wayne, we missed you so very
much Christmas, our first. Christ
mas without you since the day
God loaned you to us for a very
short time. But God needed you '
to help decorate the most beauti- I
ful Christmas tree you ever had.
Someday in the near future we ■
hope to meet you around the
beautiful tree of eternal life
where no death, tears or heart .
break comes.
Some may forget you because
you are gone, but we never will.
We shed so many silent tears as
we look at your pictures and youi
little treasures you loved so and
your vacant chair and bed. The
family circle here is broken but
we pray to God that it will be
complete in the world of here
after, your world, Heaven.
Life isn’t the same since you
went away. It seems an eternity,
though it's only one year today.
