“If from cherished child

with open heart;
Welcome Neighbor! We’re
glad you are here.”
There is something especially
rewarding in “nosing” for new
comers, when they seem so de
lighted with their new surround

ly arrived from Chattanooga,
Tenn., to make their home at
5137 Davis Circle. They are de
lighted to get back to Georgia
after 12 years away from their
home state; and especially to the
relaxed tempo of a small town,
again.
Mrs. Clare, a Manchester na
tive, enjoys bridge, gardening,
ceramics and sewing as hobbies.
Mr. Clare, a native Atlantian, Is
a personnel manager with Hercul
es. He shares his wife’s inter
est in bridge, likes reading, a
good game of golf and spectator
sports. The Clares are of the
Methodist denomination.
,The Don Colters and children,
Donald 9, Dara 7 1/2 and Dale
6, come to us from Atlanta, to
their new residence at 7189 Flat
Rock Trial, S. E. They, like
the Clares are quite happy in
our midst; and arealreadyenjoy
ing the friendliness of a smaller
town.
Mrs. Colter, an Atlanta native,
likes to participate in church
activities; and finds reading and
bridge relaxing hobbies. Mr.

bil Chemical. Spectator Sports,
reading and Scouting are among
