Welcome
Neighbor!
M S . M.
“If from cherished childhood
scenes
Fate and fortune have
brought you here,
And your heart still home
ward 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.”
We are indebted to Bruns
wick Corporation for bring
ing us Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
H. Jefferson and little two
month old daughter, Clara,
who hace recently moved
from Winder, to make their
home at 203 Academy Drive.
Mrs. Jefferson, a native of
Winder, finds homemaking
and their baby daughter
quite time consuming; but,
in leisure moments enjoys
bridge, music and art.
Mr. Jefferson, who claims
Fort Worth, Texas as his
home town, is in the Football
Division of Brunswick, here,
and is a golf and bowling
enthusiast. He also shares his
wife’s interest in bridge.
The Jeffersons are wel
come additions to the young
er married contingent; vari
ous community activities;
and the Baptist congrega
tion, of which they are
members.
Family Gathering
Leads To Annual
Meeting Here
Several members of the T.
Jeff Bell Family of Atlanta
and Jonesboro worshiped at
the Hopewell Associate Re
formed Presbyterian Church
near Covington on Sabbath
Morning, September 13,
1964.
After the services, a deli
cious lunch which they
brought with them was
spread on the tables in the
Educational Building. Mrs. J.
O. Black and Miss Ida Black,
Atlanta, and Misses Bell,
Leila and Eva Gardner had
been invited to eat with
them.
The group toured the
cemetery with Miss Bell
Gardner as interpreter, and
then enjoyed a song fest with
Mrs. Walter Bell at the
piano.
The children of the group
wanted to see the Gardner
home where their parents,
as young children, had spent
days during the summer
months, so, after a drive to
the “once famous” Snapping
Shoals where years before
many had enjoyed picnics
and other outings, they drove
to the Gardner home. They
went from room to room in
the old home - their parents
trying to remember places
and incidents that occurred
years ago. Another fellow
ship hour was enjoyed.
