Miss Layona Glenn Arrives
Back Home After Brazil Trip
For Miss Layona Glenn, cen
tenarian, and Methodist Mission
ary emeritus, her arrival ir
Atlanta Sunday, from a near
fortnight tour of Brazil which
began March 8, her 100th birth
day, was far from “journey’s
end”. This fact was quickly
confirmed in her reply to an

If it is any small con
solation, some tests indi
cate that migraine headaches
are linked to superior in
telligence.
Headaches originate from
a number of causes such as
fatigue, over - eating, head
injuries, and eye strain, but
the two major types are the
migraine or tension-induced
varieties.
Migraine sufferers are
often hard-driven personali
ties, who usually do well in
the fields in which they exert
themselves, and as indicated
by tests, two in three will
have a migraine family his
tory.
Getting prescriptions fill

headache at all. . .not at
our pharmacy. Accurate and
professionally - filled pre
scriptions are assured at

enquiring reporter who asked
her what she planned to do, now,
when she assured him, “Why,
I’ll just begin my second cen
tury ! ”
Miss Layona, who served more
than a third of her life as a
Methodist Missionary to Brazil,
makes plain the fact that official
retirement from the Methodist
Mission Board, by no means
wrote finis to her mission of
witnessing. She finds her own
native land one of the greatest
mission fields in the world; and
is constantly lending herself to
the task of witnessing, person
ally and in her regular columns,
which are carried in The Cov
ington News, and two other weekly
newspapers. Even now, she is
planning a trip to Oregon, in
May, when she will be a featured
speaker for a church organiz
ation.
Her flight to Brazil, which her
brother, Mark Twain Glenn, and
Scott Houston, executive sec
retary of Wesley Woods Retire
ment Center, where she now
makes her home, was Miss Lay
ona’s third trip back to the early
scenes of her missionary en
deavors, where she had the rare
privilege of enjoying the fruits
of her labors. Perhaps, more
than any of the honors which
have been bestowed upon her,
by her denomination and state
officials of two nations, and they
are many, was the blessing she
received in seeing the orphanage
she established with 15 waifs,
which now adequately cares for
175 children; and the two schools
she established at Petropolis and
Rio, which have merged into
Bennett College, Brazil’s first
junior college for girls, which
now has more than 1,000 stud
ents enrolled, and an equally
long waiting list. She finds
much joy in the fact that in her
return visits, shehas found every
one of her original 15 orphans
in prominent roles, in Brazil’s
armed services, government and

Where Mr. Dennis and I spent so
much time.. .and that’s where our
good friend Mrs. Saucier, Judge
and Mrs. Kennedy, and a dozen
others lived. Would we love to go?
We’d have to have time off for
national press.
On her recent flight, Miss
Glenn was greeted by Georgia’s
Governor Carl Sanders, Pres
ident Johnson in Washington, and
President Castello Branco and
other dignitaries of Brazil, where
she was the inspiration of many
events in her honor, throughout
her visit.
Not only Newton County, where
Miss Glenn was born, while her
father’s Yellow River plantation
was still a part of this county;
but in fact, the entire nation
owes an appreciable debt of gra
titude to Miss Glenn, whose ac
complishments in the mission
field, social work, and education,
have contributed to the friendly
relations between Brazil and this
country. An opportunity to help
solidify these friendly ties, was
according to Miss Glenn, “one
of my greatest blessings”.
