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.”
Indian summer has whole
heartedly joined in extending a
royal welcome to our recent
newcomers. It seems to have
dipped into nature’s most vivid
paint-pots to present apanarama
of color, which veritably breathes
a welcome of exotic beauty, to
say, “We’re glad you are here!”
Our new neighbors this week
are Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Funder
burk, formerly of Columbus, who
now reside at 428 Cook St.
Mrs. Funderburk, a native of
Jefferson, enjoys music, outdoor
recreation, Canasta and fishing,
as hobbles.
Mr. Funderburk, also original
ly of Jefferson, shares his wife’s
enthusiasm for fishing. Car
racing, hunting and spectator
sports are also among his
hobbles. He Is with General
Motors, In Atlanta.
The Funderburks have three
sons, Ricky 11, Michael 8, and
Randal 4. They are Baptists,
and are being warmly welcomed
into that congregation, as well
as into various circles of local
community activities.

Gamma Tri-Hi-Y
Has Thanksgiving
Theme Program
King David In his book of
Psalms wrote, “Blessed be the
Lord, for he hath shewed me his
marvelous kindness in a strong
city”. When one looks out his
window, all that can be seen
is a representation of Go d’ s
eternal kindness. Yet, how often
do we give thanks for the life
which is ours?
If a six year-old was asked,
“Do you know what Thanksgiving
Day is?”, one would probably
receive an answer like, “Sure,
that’s the day we do to Grand
mother’s and have turkey and
cake and all sorts of good things
to eat”.
What is Thanksgiving to you?
Is it basically the same idea
as that of the six year old or
is it just a red date on the calen
dar?
The things for which we should
give thanks are too numerous to
list. Yet, every day we come into
contact with the marvels of God
which we take for granted.
To help us realize all our for
tunes, the program of the Gamma
Trl-Hi-Y on November 4, was
based on Thanksgiving. The
participants and their subjects
were: Ginger Asbell, “The Ma
terial Things of Life”; Susan
Cooper, “Friendship and Fellow
ship”; Barbara Morgan, "The
Four Freedoms of America —
Worship, Speech, Press and
Peaceful Assembly”, and Sandra
Allen, "intangible Items In Life”.
