, ley. The Foot Prints she left
I are sweet and lovely.
The fifth president of this
club came to us in the early
19205. ’23 and ’25 when the
club had a membership of
working members. It was a
great challenge to Mrs. Thorn
l ley, and she realized it. We
were in debt—and the Toccoa
Woman’s Club was also a social
1 club.
God seemed to have bestow
ed extra talents upon this, His
Handmaiden, knowing she
would need patience, love and
kindness in her life. Her hus
band was an invalid for many
years. This was not a burden
to her, but a labor of love.
She answered the call when
she was needed to fill the of
fice of president of the club.
From the very beginning, she
picked up the reins, she was
an inspiration to each member
of the club. We felt she be
longed to every one of us. Her
charm and her wit made eager
and willing workers of us all.
Nothing seemed a duty or a
task —but one of joy. Some of
the meetings she had us in
stitches laughing over some
of her antics. Again we would
be brough to tears when she
described the needs of others.
She never met failure. Her
three children attest this fact.
With all of her love of outside
activities in city, church, and
social, her home came first.
Shortly before her death, I
received a letter from her,
from which I read excerpts. It
will reveal to you some of her
loveable traits.
My valued friend. I assure
you it is with great pleasure I
now write to you. Lois loves
club work and hopes she can
live up to the high ideals of
the Federation as she assumes
her duties as First Vice Presi
dent of the State. The election
came as quite a surprise to her.
as she knew there were others
far more capable of the place;
as for me, I have always felt
like my mental garments were
thread-bare, for when I stand
up to speak, my memory sits
down. The memory of my dear
friends in Toccoa is like the
fragrance of a beautiful flovJer

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Toccoa Woman's Club. If I were
to give you my weakly? diary,
it would read about like this:
“Quote) Monday— recover

make arrangements for next
weekend Wednesday, lull be
tween weekends; Thursday,
get ready for weekend: Friday,
leave for weekend, and Satur
day and Sunday WEEK-END.
April, as you know, has al
ways been a momentous month
in our history— Washington
was inaugurated as first Pres
ident of the U.S. on April 30,
1789. And in addition to many
other happenings I was born on
April 17, 1881, so on Easter
Sunday, I was 79 years old, and
I hope I’ll never lose life’s zest,
but will always know that
whatever happens, happens for
the best. Everyone wants to
live longer, but no one wants
you to grow old.
A little girl in a school essay
on “parents” said this about
them, “We get our parents
when they are so old it is hard
Enforceable
Fire Works
Law Asked
State Fire Marshal F. E.
Robinson has appealed to Safe
ty Fire Commissioner Zack D.
. Cravey to use whatever in
fluence he may have with the
I present Administration and the
incoming General Assembly
towards enactment of legisla
tion governing Fireworks which
can be enforced. He empha
sized that an enformeable law
would net the State approxi
mately $200,000 annually in
revenue, which is now being
lost, as well as protecting the
i public.
In a letter to the Commis
sioner. Marshal Robinson in
sists that such a wo rka b 1 e
Fireworks law be passed or the
enforcement placed with some
other State Agency or Depart
ment.
He points out that he "is
powerless to enforce the pres
i ent law and has been so ad
| vised on many occasions by the
Attorney General.”
II “I think in the interest of
> fair play the position of my
department be brought to the
attention of the people of Geor
gia,” Mr. Robinson also wrote.
“Especially at this time when
Fireworks are being sold all
over the State.”
Commenting on the letter.
Commissioner Cravey stated
I that in administering any law
i he can go only as far as the
i “tools the General Assembly
I has provided me” permit. (
to change their habits.”
Well, I guess if the man who
said, “Brevity is the spice of
(life) wit,” should see this let
ter to you—he would promptly
have a fit.
So glad James got to see so
many of you as he passed
through Toccoa enroute to
Washington. His new baby is
a girl, and as she is my first
granddaughter, we are truly
eager to see her. Lyn and Jack
will drive for Sammy’s gradu
ation. They are so much fun,
we always have a wonderful
time when they come. Must
ring off lest I, like Tennyson’s
“Brook”, go babbling on for
ever.
Lovingly, Lessie F.
Thornley.
And so to the memory of one
of the strongest members the
Toccoa Woman’s Club ever
had we pay tribute:
Near a shady wall a rose once
grew,
Budded and blossomed in God’s
light.
Watered and fed by morning
dew,
Shedding sweetness, day and
night.
As it grew so fair and tall,
Slowly it rose to loftier heights
And came to a crevice in the
wall
Through which there shone a
beam of light.
Onward it crept, with added
strength,
With never a thought of fear
or pride
It followed the light thru the
crevice-length
And unfolded itself on the
other side.
The light, the dew, the broad
ening view,
Has found the same as they
were before
And is now in divine beauties
new
Breathing its fragrance more
and more.
Shall claim of death cause us
to grive
