News Notes From
Covington
Mills
By Mrs. J. E. Rowe
Here at Covington Mills it is
worse than when President Ken
nedy lost his life. There is no '
are-Christmas joy as usual. From
Mr. Jolley on down, everyone is
rery sad. We thank each and!
everyone for their deep concern I

and ask that you keep praying and
we will too. It was hard for us to
transfer our affections from Mr.
Arnold, w r ho we all love and oould
go to him as to a father and
from “Nat” (Mr. Turner) who we
. do adore and from Mr. Rogers,
I who altho’ kind of stern, we have
a great respect and fondness for.
But as I stated last week, we had
[ grown to love Mr. Jolley and
was proud to be a part of the
i Lowenstein Mills. And now we
are hurt, bewildered and don't
know which way to go. Unless
I something turns up very soon we
I will move in all directions. It is
> possible that we could still live
| where we are and commute to
work as so many people do. Or we i
, may even have to move to other
! I states for employment. As Rev.
; ' Carl Cassidy said, ‘lt is not the
, end of the world. God is still on
! i the throne”. And as Rev. Marshall
Dale used as a text Wednesday
I : night, “Those without vision
I would perish.” Something wonder-
I ful can happen from this chaos
and confusion. At least we are
better off than those poor people
' where the dam burst and their
homes were washed away and
’' lives were lost.
Os course the closing of the
mill will affect the Hospital Fund. ,
which is a non-profiting fund of
the people. It has rules according
to the rules of the mill hospita
lization. There was a called meet- j
ing Saturday morning at 10:00 a.
m. If you were not there, you
should have been. Those present
voted to freeze the money in the
bank until enough is collected to
pay all debts. No one is to enter
the hospital under the past rules.
After all debts have been paid
and we know for sure how things
will be, there will be another call
ed meeting to try to reorganize.
All of those belonging would be
eligible to join. We have some
where over $400.00 in the bank
and owe approximately $500.00
more, plus bills for Hoke Lord.
George Studdard is President.
Ed Rowe is treasurer and Em- i
mett Boh anon is collector. If you
are working out of town, please
get your money to the collector
on time.
As Christmas carols fill the
: air and trees are being decorated
and lighted in all homes, as the
other decorations go up about the
house and cards are sent to spec
ial friends and loved ones, a s
flowers are put in the cemetery
and churches are filled for ser
vices. let us remember that God
sent His most precious gift to man
kind that through Him we might
be saved.
Cub Scouts of Troop 223 h a d
their Pack Christmas Party Sat
urday night at 7:00 p. m. Each
mother and the den mothers
brought refreshments, which were
enjoyed very much. The boys
could not hardly wait until time
to give out the gifts. They had i
made gifts for mothers and dads,
which were appreciated very
much.
The Annual Covington Mills
Christmas Party for children was
2:00 p. m. Sunday afternoon at
Ficquett School. It was a solemn
crowd to be sure. There was no
bubbly enthusiasm as in previous
years. Only the tiny tots had eyes
soarkling with joy and excitement.
The older ones seemed to be aware
of the seriousness of their parents.
I heard that someone had
painted a “mustache” on Mary in
the Nativity scene on the square.
This is a terrible and silly thing
to do. Nothing is too ugly for I
some people to stoop to. If there
was a star shining above the I
manger, as there should be, MAY- j
BE no one else would molest the
figures.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stringfellow join- [
ed Miss Hazel Bailey of near)
Conyers to visit Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Beeland and Faye in White
Plains, Saturday night and Sun
day. They made “pop” calls on
Mr. and Mrs. Donald Dennis in
Greshamville and Mr. and Mrs.
Clayton Ellis and family in
Greensboro.
Mrs. Sidney Graham and dau
ghter of Salt Lake City are
visiting Mr. and Mrs. Hoke Lord. I
Unless Mr. Graham can get off
work for Christmas, he and Keith
will be unable to come and Mrs.
Graham and baby will return

Dear Santa,
I would like a cuddly baby

If it is not too much to ask for,
I want a Barbie doll too and

Services for local Methodist
Churches were called off Sun
day night so that we could share
with the First Methodist a pro
gram by Dr. Delma Haygood on
the growth and progress of church
es in this area in the past twelve
months. The slides, which were
j in color, were lovely and made
। you proud to be a part of the
army of God. which has enough
foresight to plan for the future.
Land has been bought to move
: some churches to a better nearby
location. Many small churches
have done inside and outside work
and most have an educational
| building. The SIO.OO Club has ac-
I complished most of this. Maybe
, you can soon join this club to
j further the work of the Kingdom
। here on earth. Mansfield and
Porterdale were well represented
|in number.
