Salem
By Mrs. Douglas Yancey
Traffic in Salem came to a
standstill Tuesday afternoon a s
the rain, sleet and snow descend
ed on us. Everything was s o
quiet Wednesday morning when I
awoke about 8 o'clock that it was
like being in a tomb. TV and
Radio was in popular demand all

Thursday morning found every
thing as iced over as it was Wed
nesday, but with sunshine. The
sunshine turned the outdoors into
a winter wonderland, because of
I the millions of diamond like spark
les from the iced over trees,
shrubs and even fields. About noon
Thursday the ice began to slowly
disappear. We didn't have a white
Christmas, but we made up for it
on New Years Day. New Years
resolutions and wishes are in order
and my wish to each of you read
ers is—Enough religion to make
you claim the Christ. Enough of
the love of Christ to make you
concerned for other s. Enough
riches to keep you comfortable.

the Salem people let me tell you
that we received a letter and
picture (of the family) from
C. H. (Major) T. D. Turner, Fort
Clayton, Canal Zone They asked
to be remembered to the Salem
people. This lovely family will
be remembered here in Salem as
the “boy pastor" of Salem Metho

came to Salem a bride and groom,
won our hearts, stayed 3 years
and when they left broke our
j hearts. Their son. Steve and
daughter, Pam are now growing
up. The letter portrays ave r y
interesting life for the Turners in
the Canal Zone, yet not so in
teresting they can forget the
Salem people.

FROM ME

These are singularly wild and
exciting days we are living
through. These are days of cri
sis, of indecision, of break
through heaped upon break
through. New horizons flourish
daily in the very shadow of
worldly woes which appear to
give the future a most tenuous
hold on life.
In the midst of all the earth
shaking events which are duly
covered, sifted and analyzed
by every known medium of
of communication, we some
times lose sight of the fact
that harmless but interesting
bits of human trivia ere s+ill
part of the passing scene. In
this column we hope to touch
on them from time to time.
We hope, too, that you will
