Emory To Present 'Beggar’s Opera’
At Oxford February 7 At 8 P.M.
The Emory Women’s Chorale
and Glee Club will present a re
vival of an 18th century musical
hit that caused an uproar in Lon
don society in 1728.
John Gay’s “Beggar’s Opera”
will be performed at Allen Mem
orial Auditorium on the Oxford
College campus Tuesday, Feb.
7,at 8:00 p.m.
The opera is the ancestor of
the later Gilbert and Sullivan
operettas. In it, characters from
the lower classes assumed the
airs of fine ladies and gentle
men of 18th century London.
The opera in its original form
satirized the cliches and set
forms of Italian opera. It also
poked fun at the social corrup
tion of London’s gentry and the
fashionable fads of the time.
It even dared to laugh at the
power plays of the prime mini
ster and parodied the affected

New Country Club
Meeting Sunday
At Conyers 3 PM
A joint meeting of persons
interested in forming the new
Fieldstone Country Club, on
Salem Road, has been scheduled
for Sunday afternoon at the Con
yers High School cafeteria. The
time is 3 p.m.
Grady Coleman of the Newton
County committee has dispatched
a letter to prospective members
outlining the plans of the new
club. He said that members of
the nominating committee for
officers Include two Covington
ians; Dr. Johnny Maloney and
Phillip Cohen.
A part of Mr. Coleman’s let
ter follows:
“You have probably read or
heard about the move in Newton
and Rockdale County to organ
ize a Private Country Club. We
now plan a joint meeting of both
counties this Sunday afternoon at
3:00 P.M. at the Conyers High
School Cafeteria. This meet
ing will be for the men and lad
ies since the Club will be organ
ized as a complete family soc
ial organization.
“The plans are for an 18 hole
championship golf course which
is already in existence and can
be played on starting July 1,
1967; an Olympic size swimming
pool; two tennis courts; a teen
age activity room; steam bath;
large dining facilities with a
complete kitchen geared for buf
fet dinners as well as private
meeting; a practice golf area with

PORTERDALE—No where in
the world blit in America and
maybe only in Porterdale, Geor
gia, USA could people renew their
friendships after an interim of
thirty-six years as did the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Ham
monds on Sunday, January 22.
Several weeks ago, it was learn
ed that the former pastor of the
Porterdale Presbyterian Church,
Dr. W. E. Crane, who served
from January 1927 to October
1930, would lead the morning
worship service on Sunday, Jan
uary 22, at eleven o’clock, Tele
phones began ringing and notes
were written to share this ex
citing news, for there were cer
tain members of that congregat
ion who were the young people
of this pastorate. Many of them
had been married by this young
minister who greatly Influenced
all of their lives.
It was appropriate that Dr.
Crane, now sixty-seven, should
choose the “Home” as the subject
of his poignant sermon, for in
his congregation that Sunday
morning in 1967 were children
and grandchildren of those for
mer young people whose parents
have reared In the church, too.
Immediately after the service.

a group gathered in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Hammonds for a

Mrs. Cleveland Digby and Donna

day, and I shall never forget my
experiences here. I thank you
for what this church has meant to
