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.”
As our new neighbors this
week, we are happy to present
Mr. and Mrs. McKee Scoggins,
who have recently moved from
Atlanta to their home on the
Atlanta Highway, near Tommy’s
Pond.
Mrs. Scoggins, a Fulton County
native, combines a business car
eer with homemaking; but in leis
ure moments enjoys reading as a
hobby. She is currently Dietary
Supervisor of DeKalb General
Hospital.
Mr. Scoggins, whose hometown
is Athens is retired from active
business, due to ill health; and
finds reading and fishing his most
relaxing hobbies.
The Scoggins have a daughter,
Mrs. D. A. Gentry, who lives
in Ft. Bragg, N. C.; and three
sons, David C., who is married
and lives in Clarkston; Daniel
McKee, also married, lives in
Decatur; and Alton, who is stat
ioned at Tinker AFB, in Okla
homa.
They are Baptists, and will be
warmly welcomed into that con
gregation, as well as into many
other phases of local community
life.

What Is There
To Be Thankful For?
Comes again THANKSGIVING—a Holiday for most folks
and a festive occasion with the traditional turkey, cran
berry sauce, pumpkin pie and all the trimmings—but is
that all it means? Just an excuse to stuff ourselves and
make merry with the cup that cheers?
Why THANKSGIVING? What have we to be thankful
for? Listen my friend.
Be thankful that you are an AMERICAN, the most favored
and envied individual in all the world.
Sure it costs something to be an AMERICAN and some
times that cost is measured in blood and sweat and
tears". Sure prices are high and taxes are high—and
sometimes it looks like public officials have been pretty
high at times too, to get us into the global muddle we
are in today.
BUT when you sit down to that bountiful Thanksgiving
dinner, pause for a momen and add up ALL THE BLESS
INGS that are yours because you were lucky enouoh to be
born or to become an AMERICAN. You will find the
balance all in your favor, for nowhere else in this wide
world will you find so much FOOD, FASHION, FUN and
FREEDOM.
Consider the taxes you pay as your dues for membership
in the greatest club on earth and always remember that
for every one that wants out there are a million that want
in.
That s why THANKSGIVING. That s what there is to be
thankful for so let us all be eternally grateful for the
privileges that are ours and ever watchful lest we lose for
ever that freedom we know and love.
Now—may we wish you a Happy Holiday and thank you
for having helped to make it possible for us to celebrate
our 18th THANKSGIVING.
