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.”
It Is "Welcome Home’’ to the
Rev. and Mrs. W, F. Lunsford,
who have recently returned from
Atlanta to make their future home
at 5222 Floyd St., S. E.
Rev. Lunsford, a Newton Cou
nty native, is a retired Method
ist minister. Naturally he is
keenly interested in church act
ivities; and boating and wood
work are his prime hobbies.
Mrs. Lunsford, also a native
Newton Countian, shares her
husband’s interest in church
work. She enjoys flower gar
dening; but, says homemaking
is her first love. They have
never lost contact with Newton
County; and have relatives liv
ing in Covington. Mayor Walker
Harris is a nephew; and, Fred
Kitchens and Rembert Kitchens
are Mrs. Lunsford’s brothers.
From Lithonia come Mr. and
Mrs. William W. Smith, and sons,
Ricky 16, and Donald 11, who
have recently moved into their
Salem Road home. Another son,
Pfc. Gerald Smith is stationed
at Eustis, Va.; and a married
daughter, Mrs. T. R. McDonald,
lives in Stone Mountain.
Mrs. Smith, a Gwinnett Co.
native, combines homemaking
with a business career; and is a
personnel member of the Just-
Rite Co. in Atlanta. Flower
gardening, fishing and swimming
are her most relaxing pastimes.
Mr. Smith, originally of Cher
okee County, is with Harper Mo
tor Lines; and lists fishing and
baseball as his most enjoyable
hobbies. The Smiths will be
welcome additions to County Line
Baptist Church.
Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Vander
bunt and little son Derek, 19
months old, are summer resi
dents at 7102 Washington St. Th
eir former residence was Col
umbus, Ohio.
Mrs. Vanderbunt, whose home
town is Wauseon, 0., likes their
surroundings; but finds our "Sun
ny South’’ a little half-past warm!
Os course, we assured her that
this August in June and first of
July was most unusual; and it
was really not as hot all of the
time, as it is most of the time.
Her favorite hobbles are sew
ing, bridge and music. Mr.
Vanderbunt, a Courtland, N. Y.
native, is with his brother’s firm,
Piedmont Silo Co., this summer;
but will resume his studies at
the University of Ohio in the
fall. Wrestling, reading, bridge,
rugby and swimming are among
his hobbles. The Vanderbunts
are members of the Christian
denomination.
All of these new families will
find a cordial welcome awaiting
them in the churches of their
choice; and in all phases of
local community life, of which
they have chosen to become a
part.
