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 Hercules
for bringing us one of our new
families, whom we are happy to
present this week, Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond I. McFadden, Jr., and
children, Sharon 9, David 8 and
Andrea 3, who have recently ar
rived from Clifton Forge, Va.,
to make their home at 917 David
Circle.
Mrs. McFadden, a native of
Marcus Hook, Penn., thoroughly
enjoys church activities, sewing,
needlecrafts, music and bridge,
in leisure moments from home
making. Mr. McFadden, whose
hometown is also Marcus Hook,
is a project engineer with Her
cules. He shares his wife’s in
terest in church activities, and
names golf, bridge and specta
tor sports as hobbies.
The McFaddens are welcome
additions to the Methodist Con
gregation, of which they are
members, and in various activi
ties of local civic, social and
industrial circles.
Those of us who are privil
eged to live in the “Bible Belt”,
are perhaps a little more aware
of the blessing that is ours, when
ministers of the Gospel come to
us, to fill the pulpits of our
churches, and contribute toward
the strengthening of our moral
and spiritual values. And it is
an especially warm welcome that
is being extended the Rev. Mr.
and Mrs. Donald R. Hastings,
who have recently moved from
Temple Terrace, Fla., to make
their home at 1113 Hillside Dr.
Mrs. Hastings, an East Point
native, names homemaking as
her most absorbing ‘‘labor of
love”. She participates in acti
vities of her husband’s church;
is an art enthusiast and likes
spectator sports. Mr. Hastings,
originally from Tallequah, Okla.,
is pastor of the Church of Christ;
and has recently concluded stu
dies at Florida College. When he
finds spare moments from pas
toral duties, he finds fishing,
hunting, and spectator sports re
laxing hobbies.
The Hastings are being
cordially welcomed into their
church; the younger married set,
and many other phases of the life
of the community, of which they
are now a part.
