Welcome
Neighbor!

“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;
From the "Sunshine State’’ of
Florida come Mr. and Mrs. A. B.
Coltrane, who arrived from Sea
bring, just in time to find our Old
Man Winter in one of his Cold
Furies, replete with rain, sleet
and snow! So, there is extra
warmth in the welcome we extend,
which we hope, along with
Spring’s floral apologies will
make them forget their cold re
ception, upon arrival. They re
side at 110 S. Mill Street.
Mrs. Coltrane and her husband
are both natives of Greensboro,
N. C. She enjoys flower garden
ing, reading and bowling as hob
bies. Mr. Coltrane, an engineer
ing supervisor with A. T. andT.,
shares his wife’s interest in
bowling and reading, and also
likes to fish and hunt.
The Coltranes have a married
daughter, Mrs. Ralph Thomas, in
Atlanta; and one son, Albert, who
has recently entered the Armed
Services.
They are Baptists, and will be
cordially welcomed in that con
gregation; and into other activi
ties of local community life.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hawk and
children, Victor 6, and Laurie,
18 months, followed their hearts
homeward, and have come back
from Hapeville, to their native
Covington, to make their home at
1030 N. Emory Street. There is
something quite gratifying in the
return of our own, who know all
of the hometown’s foibles and
blessings; and choose to lend
their contributions toward its
progress.
Mrs. Hawk finds relaxation in
music, flowers, books and water
sports, in leisure time from
komemaking. Mr. Hawk, who is
with Eastern Air Lines, also en
joys reading and water sports;
and an inventive talent challenges
him in mechanics.
The Hawks are being warmly
welcomed into the Baptist con
gregation, of which they are
members; the younger married
set, and other civic and social
circles.
