Welcome
Neighbor!
M. S. M.
“If from cherished childhood
scenes
Fate and fortune have brought
you here,
And your heart still homeward
leans;
Remember—New friends with
time grow dear.
Your joys, your sorrows are of
ours a part,
So. help us to know you that
we may share
This experience of Life, with
open heart:
Welcome Neighbor! We’re glad
you are here.”
From Cleveland, Tenn, come
the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Leon
Barger, who have an apart

most enjoyable hobby; but, en
joys picnicking and music, al
so.
Mr. Burger, also a Tennes

an avid fisherman; and, when
he finds leisure moments from
his duties as Associate Pastor
of the Newton Circuit of the
Methodist Church, he likes
hunting and outdoor recrea
tion. However, he is a student
at the Seminary at Emory Uni
versity, and with his pastoral
duties, there is not too much
time left to allot to hobbies.
We are indebted to Bert
Adams’ Scout Reservation for
bringing us Mr. and Mrs.
Charles L. Bailey, formerly of
Greenville, S. C., who now re

Mrs. Bailey, an Atlanta na

hobbies.

Atlanta as his hometown, is
associate director of camping
at Bert Adams; and enjoys all
phases of camping, scouting,
and sports; and likes a good
game of golf.
The Baileys have three
children, Carol 14, Mike 13,
