Community News from
Salem
By MRS. DOUGLAS YANCEY
It seems that to offer congra
tulations to someone in Salem
for an outstanding job or ac
complishment is becoming a
habit with the Salem reporter.
However we are so glad to be
able to do just that again this
week to another one of our
farmers. Mr. Leonard Standard
was honored highly last week
for his outstanding dairy farm
ing and his neighbors and friends
in Salem are happy that he has
won these honors, as well as
the prizes, and we are wishing
him continued success in his
chosen field.
As we begin another report
on the doings of Salem people,
we are thinking of an event to
take place Wednesday in which
we are all interested — “The
Tiny Tots Parade.” In looking
over the group of tiny tot pic
tures in The Covington NEWS
last week, we were thankful
that we wouldn’t have to judge
the group and choose a winner,
for I don’t think I ever looked
at a more adorable group of
children and I simply couldn’t
pick a winner with all that
beauty and charm to choose
from.
It seems like winter might be
returning this morning — little
cooler than it has been for sev
eral days. We are thinking of
all that lucious fruit that we ex
pected to have this summer and
are now afraid we won’t have —
and the flowers!!! My friends,
you had better hurry out into
your flower garden and pick
some of those beautiful spring
flowers that are already in
bloom. That is just what I am
doing, for I am afraid that soon
winter will come back bringing
f eezing temperatures and our
fruit for the year may be killed
rnd I am sure that the flowers
would be ruined if winter does

We have just been thinking
about an early spring and all the
joys that go with spring and
summer; when we can sit on
. the front porch, listen to the
birds sing and watch them as
they raise a new family, watch
1 the new grass and tender buds
shoot forth on the shrubbery —
1 I watch the flowers grow and
bloom — then we stop and think
' that the front porch is fast be
! coming extinct. Sitting on the
front porch has become a lost
art. So many of the new homes
are without a front porch —
carports or breezeways have be
come the style and to the older
generation there is nothing quite
like a big front porch to enter
tain Sunday afternoon guests on.
i But then who stays home on
I Sunday afternoon any more?
Even if one stays home, there is
the television — My! My! How
times have changed!!!
The people of- Salem Church
had quite an interesting speaker
Sunday night. There is sort of a
story to this young man, Rev.
Ray Toledo, coming to Salem,
and we would like to share it
with you readers who were not
present. Rev. Toledo is Cuban;
and it seems that about 10 or
12 years ago he came to a
small town in Mississippi to en
ter a junior college — Wood
College. The Rev. Sam Hull
was a freshman in the same
college The two were good
friends, played pranks, and had
the usual ups and downs that
two boys at college have, and
then came the day of graduation,
and on to higher institutions of
learning for each. Their friend
ship was forgotten temporarily
it seems, until about six weeks
ago Rev. Mr. Toledo came back
to the States to take some spe
cial subjects in Theology at
Emory University and there
his and Reverend Mr. Hulls
paths crossed again. Rev. and
Mrs. Toledo and young son visit
ed the Hulls Sunday and he
brought a very interesting mes
sage on Missions to a large
