“If from cherished childhood

If “friendliness” is conta
gious, then it is one of the nic
est things there is to "catch”!
It may come in the form of a
greeting, a handclasp, a plea
sant look, a smile, a cup or
glass, of coffee or tea shared,
a helpful deed; but fundamen
tally it is the outreach of hu
man kindness in tangible form.
With expanding industry and
economy many new people ar
rive daily to cast their lot with
us. to become a part of a com
munity, that whether we have
lived here all our lives, a mere
75 years, or just one day, is now
“ours”!
And, it is such a privilege to
pass on to others, the warmth
of welcome that we have
known, at other times and
places.
This week we are happy to
present Mr. and Mrs. J o h n
N. Morford and children, De
borah 9-12 and John Mark 5-
1/2, who have recently arrived !
to make their home at 601 East '

ATTEND CHURCH SUNDAY
By: Lanier Hardman
'Way back in 1789 the most
outstanding physician of his day
was Benjamin Rush who was o^e
of the last leaders of a medi
cine not yet graduated from the
medieval tradition.
For example, Rush maintained
that there was but one disease
and all treatments were reduced
to one as well. These treatm-its
were rather harrowing by to
day’s standards, consisting in
| the main of blood-letting and
purging, intended to cure J lie
unfortunate patient's physical
. ills through "depletion".
Many of today's ills are cured
quickly and safely through use
of prescriptions prescribed by
the many capable physicians
available. Proper and accurate
filling of these prescriptions is
assured at
