might like to know how amazed
this German editor was to find
such a plant in our small com
munity.
He certainly was impressed
with our College, and among oth
er things, which seemed to sim
ply “floor” him...unbelieveable
it was that we had so many beau
tiful homes. He mentioned it
over and over In his praise of
the town. He could not under
stand so much culture and beau
ty in one small town.
So, everybody! You stop, look,
and listen.... The old U. S. is
noticing us in Covington and New
ton County t00.....e15e why are
they bringing such great Indus
try to us we love that....but
most of all we love the type peo
ple they are bringing here as
our neighbors; to bring our chil
dren up with at school and whom
we welcome with open arms in
all of our churches Sunday
School classes and especially in
our Church choirs.
Maybe we are a little bit self
ish in that we do not want to
become great, great industrial
center, just a little larger we
would say...and a few more peo
ple...but we never want to be
come so BIG (in size) that we
can’t know all our neighbors.
Ours is a town in which my
sorrow is your sorrow., my joys
are yours..a new baby comes to
a home....we let the whole town
know we are proud..if a neigh
bor is i11...My OH, ME!
Everybody CARES when
there is sorrow., it’s the same
way! We’ve always said you
have to be a neighbor to have a
neighbor...and this is a city where
we strive to Love our neighbor
as our self their joys and
sorrows are ours.
By this time you think this
Office Boy loves his town...well,
we were not born here but we
came here some 35 years ago
and we feel like it has been our
home always...and we will be
buried here.
We, in this community, lost
a dear friend this last week.
Horace Lunsford was loved by
grown-ups and little children
alike. He loved his fellow man.,
his church came first with him,
and he knew his Bible, he could
quote you from any book in the
Bible.
He attended Sunday School,
Church, Training Union and
church again at night....every
Sunday and Prayer Services
every Wednesday Evening.
He was ill for a long time,
lived alone, and his friends carr
ied him for rides often, and
carried loving flowers, as he
did; they always took him where
they were in blossom, whether
in Covington or Oxford.
He was ready to go to his
eternal home, and be reunited
with the family he so loved and
grieved so for. He will live in
the hearts of all grown-ups, es
pecially of his Church, and all
little children, for he loved them
and spent much time in making
all the neighbors children happy.
We shall miss him greatly, but
the beauty of His love for his
Lord and Saviour, will dwell with
in the hearts of all his friends,
and family.
Opps’...Here’s that broom! I’ll
grab it, and get on the job of Jest
“SWEEPIN’ UP.”

Education Os
Adult Workers
WASHINGTON—WhiIe only 1 out
of 2 adult workers had a high
school education or better in the
late 1950’5, this number will in
crease to 2 out of 3 in 1975, an
article in the April issue of the
Monthly Labor Review has re
vealed.
The study, Education of Adult
Workers in 1975, states that
young adult workers age 25 to 34
will continue to enjoy an educa
tional advantage over their older
co-workers.
Almost 4 out of 5 of them will
have a high school education or
better, and 1 out of 5 will have
completed 4 years or more of
college.
