Welcome
Neighbor!
M. S. M.
“If from cherished child
hood 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 the First
National Bank for bringing us
Mr. and Mrs. John E. Dickens
and their children, Deborah Lynn
10, Sharianne 7, and Keith 2,
who reside at 606 Locust Circle.
Mrs. Dickens is an Upson
County native; and she and the
family moved here from Thomas
ton. She finds homemaking her
first love; but also enjoys music,
and cooking, especially baking, as
relaxing hobbies.
Mr. Dickens is also a native
Upson Countian; and is cashier
of the First National Bank.
Church activities, music and
baseball are among his most
enjoyable hobbies.
The Dickens are being warmly
welcomed into the First Baptist
Church, and various school, so
cial and civic groups of the
community of which they are now
a part.
Sometimes we have with us,
temporary residents, who might
like to make this their home; but,
whose business interests pre
clude any permanent residency
at the current time. So, it is
with Mr. and Mrs. Terry Camp
bell, to whom we extend an es
pecially cordial welcome, while
they share this portion of “Life’s
Highway” with us!
The Campbells, who reside in a
mobile home, at Buck and Kid
Trailer Camp, are from Har
rodsburg, Ky., and in all their
travels, seem to like Georgia
more than any of the states, with
the exception of their home state
of Kentucky.
Mrs. Campbell names bowling,
sewing, reading and basketball
as hobbies. Mr. Campbell, who is
a superintendent with Standard
Sign and Signal Co., enjoys hunt
ing, fishing, golf and bowling.
Mrs. Campbell is of the Christ
ian denomination, and Mr. Camp
bell is Methodist. There will be
a very special welcome awaiting
them in the church of their choice,
and various other phases of local
community life, during their stay.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gillican
and Jo Lynn 2, have recently come
to us from Atlanta, to make their
home at 110 George St. in Oxford.
Mrs. Gillican has already been
enlisted as a faculty member of
Palmer Stone school.
A native of Anderson, S. C.,
Mrs. Gillican loves totravel, and
lists camping, reading, and flow
er gardening as favorite hobbies.
Mr. Gillican, a Brunswick native
is with the Metro Atlanta Boys
Club; and naturally enjoys work
ing with boys and Scouting. Gar
dening and camping are also
among his hobbies.
The Gillicans are welcome
additions to the Methodist
Church, of which they are mem
bers; the younger married set,
and other groups in the com
munity which they have chosen as
their own.

■ were College men. The others
( were self-educated, or tutored
j at home, but nevertheless well
versed in the classics of world
literature, and thoroughly imbued
with the principles of political
. philosophy based on the Magna
. Charta of England, from which
the Bill of Rights, the first Am
endment to the historic docu
ment, derived. Mr. Padover
I emphasized the fact that it was
only after four months of dally,
seven hour sittings, that enough
compromise could be worked out
to attain the neccessary majority
’ of signatures for passage. George
Mason, who had worked tirelessly
in the actual writing of the
revered document, refused to
sign because it did not contain
his Bill of Rights, which he did
get included two years later as
“the first amendment. Thomas
Jefferson, in Paris when he re
ceived a copy, was grievously
disturbed because it was “not
democratic enough!” In spite of
the many beatings this document
has had in thousands of efforts
to amend it, only 24 amend
ments have passed the neccessary
two-thlrds majority vote.
Wise old Benjamin Franklin
said, after the ordeal of long
sessions was successfully com
pleted, “We have given you a
good Constitution, if you can
keep it!”
During the social hour, Mrs.
W. R. Porter served punch from
the refreshment table, which was
