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.”
How often we express ap
preciation of young couples, who
choose Newton County as their
homesites; but, we also cherish
those who come to share their
golden years with us! Such is the
case with Mr. and Mrs. Troy R.
Thigpen, who have come from
Macon, recently. Os course we
shall have to admit that some
of the credit for their coming
belongs to the Troy Thigpens,
Jr., with whom they reside at
801 E, Conyers St.
Mrs. Thigpen, like her hus
band, is a native of Monroe Coun
ty. At one time she and her sis
ter owned a modiste shop, where
her sewing skill could be enjoy
ed, profitably, as a hobby. She
also loves music and flowers;
but, has to forego gardening now,
because of one of those hearts
that has to be pampered. Mr.
Thigpen, says he is 92; but that
Is only what the calendar says!
His keen interest in reading,
gardening and politics refute the
years, with the exception of his
keen analytical perception, which
it takes experience and years to
develop.

Members of the bridge club

gardening, fishing and hunting
are among his favorite hobbies.
The Harpers are receiving a
warm welcome in Macedonia
Baptist Church, of which they
were former members; and other
activities of Newton County,
which we are glad they have cho
sen as their permanent home.
In the living room where guests
assembled, a Chinese porcelain

mahonia; and a daffodil and acuba
foliage combination in a Venetian
bowl charmingly reflected the
golden theme, on an occasional
table.

in a green ceramic container,
formed the buffet table’s cen

covers were laid for guests,
were overlaid with cutwork em

Employed Wives
Cause Family
Spending To Rise
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Don’t
expect to live in comparative lu
xury just because your wife has
decided to take a job. Recent
studies show that employed wives
cause family spending patterns to
rise. So reports Finance Facts,
monthly newsletter published by
the National Consumer Finance
Association.
While employed-wife house
holds spend fractionally less for
food and medical care, more goes
out for alcohol and tobacco, cloth
ing, home furnishings and equip
ment and recreation than In
households where the husband
only Is employed, says Finance
Facts.
One In three, or about 15
million, wives earn a pay check
today, with half earning approxi
mately one-quarter of the fa
mily’s total income. Roughly
40 percent of total consumer
spending Is estimated to come
from homes where the wife is
employed, however.
Nearly half of the employed
wives are in clerical jobs or are
operatives In factories. More
than half are In the 35 to 54 age
bracket.
The Finance Facts report was
based on a study made by the
National Industrial Conference
Board.
