CARD OF THANKS
Dear Friends,
Words cannot express our
thanks to each and everyone
who has been so gracious in
everyway to our loved one, the
Rev. J. V. Speer, pastor of the
Covington Mills Methodist
Church, during his long illness
at Emory University Hosnital
and for your love and kindness
to him since he returned home
on Thanksgiving Day. Your
prayers, cards, letters, visits,
and the many love offerings
from the various churches in
our community and the love of
fering for him from the friends
at the Covington Mill have
expressed so wonderfully your
concern.
God works in mysterious
ways: Os this, we are certain.
Please continue to pray for
the doctors and nurses who so
graciously care for him, and
we pray that he may soon be
restored to health again if it
is God’s Will.
Again, we say “Thank you
and may God bless each of
you.”

“Love and a Friend”, the
angel replied; “Are the two
great joys of earth”, is one of
Edgar A. Guests classic state
; ments from his poem “Love
’ and a Friend”.
How often we find this fact
emphasized, when life’s sor
rows, shared by friends, so of
ten bring enriching experien
ces; and its pinnacles of fame
j and fortune are but ashes in
■ our hands, without friends to
■ share or care. So we heartily
agree with Mr. Guest, and wel
• come each opportunity of new
j friendships.
This week such opportuni
! ties come to us in two families
। of newcomers.
Mr. and Mrs. Chester Smith,
i both natives of Thomaston,
have recently moved to 12
Brookwood Apartments, from
Conyers, to establish residence
here.
Mrs. Smith names reading,
TV, swimming and water
sports among her favorite hob
bies.
Mr. Smith, who also enjoys
swimming and reading, adds
fishing and hunting as recrea
tional activities. He is a mem
ber of A. T. and T. Company
personnel.
The Smiths will be among
welcome additions to the Bap
tist congregation.
Mr. and Mrs. Lindy Anglin
are not entirely newcomers,
j since Newton County is Mr.
Anglin’s native home. They
| come from Belton, Texas, where
, Mr. Anglin had been stationed
during his U. S. Armed Forces
service.
Mrs. Anglin, uno names
Griffin as her home town,
loves outdoor recreation, in
cluding swimming.
Mr. Anglin, who is with the
Life Insurance Company of
Virginia, shares his wife’s en
thusiasm for outdoor sports;
i and also likes football and
hunting
The Anglins have one little
: son, Kenneth, who is five
months old; and they are Bap
tist.
Girl Scouts
Form Senior
Patrol Here
Uniforms in passing parade.
Many were seen as the Veterans
Day Parade made its way through
the streets of Covington. Old relics
of by-gone days called to mind the
numerous wars which have pass
ed across the American scene.
Present day uniforms of the
armed forces represented our
national defense today. Uniform
ed bands. Boy Scouts and Cubs,
Giri Scouts and Brownies spoke to
us of the future of our land.
Added to this array of pa st,
present and future is the ail new.
jewel-tone dark green uniform of
the first Senior Giri Scouts in
Covington. These girls, Lauree
Cook, Bede Campbell. Miriam
Gardner, Day Morcock and Jane
Richardson, members of Tr oo p
1060. have formed a Senior Patrol
in the Intermediate troop. Senior
Scouting, the Girl Scout Program
for high school girls, is built
around service to others.
The new Senior Scouts began
early to be “of service” when
they served as program aides for
the summer activities at the City
Park. They can now be found at
Brownie and Intermediate t ro op
meetings, there to share their
skills with the younger girls They
may teach a song or game, help
with a cook-out or nature walk,
instruct in proper flag ceremonies
or show how to make a puppet.
But as they share with others,
they are taking steps toward
leadership for tomorrow.
