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 Wood-Dick
inson for bringing us one of our
new families this week—Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas M. Knox, and little
daughter Lena, 4, who recently
arrived from Macon to make their
home at 411 Gordy St.
Mrs. Knox, a native Chicagoan,
finds homemaking her most in
triguing pastime, with cooking
and sewing her most interesting
hobbies. Mr. Knox, a native of
Nahunta, is with Wood-Dickinson;
and loves the out-of-doors where
fishing and hunting are his prime
hobbies.
The Rev. and Mrs. Andrew L.
Pate, Jr. and son, A. Lidden, Jr.,
6, are welcome additions to Ox
ford, where they are at home at
410 Dowman St., since their ar
rival from Thomson.
Mrs. Pate is a native of Thom
son, and enjoys music, choir
work, spectator sports, and
church activites; but has already
been conscripted on the faculty
of Ficquett School. Mr. Pate,
a Humble, Texas native, is a
member of the History and So
cial Science Department of Ox
ford College. He is an avid sports
fan; and especially enjoys golfing,
when he finds time from faculty
duties, and studies toward his
doctorate from The Pacific Sc
hool of Religion, where he re
ceived his S. T. M. The Pates
are members of Allen Memorial
Methodist Church.
It is gratifying that we have so
many young couples choosing
Newton County, in which to rear
their families; and also chal
lenging! They have pledged their
faith in us, by casting their lot
in this community, which is now
their own. So, it behooves us to
make a commensurate effort, to
the valuable contributions they
bring, toward making our county
an even better place to live; and
in the kind of welcome which
will assure them that they have
wisely chosen!
