Perry’s Organizations
Do Much Useful Work
By Mrs. W. K. WHIPPLE
Like most towns, both large
and small, Perry has its full
j share of women’s organizations,
; and contrary to the opinion of
j the average man, they accom- j
i plish a great deal of useful work.
By their affiliation with state
and national organizations they
do their part in carrying out a
nation-wide program.
The church organizations, of
course, are concerned primarily
I with religious and charitable
I work. On them also falls much
of the up-keep of church grounds!
and parsonage, and much of the i
social life of the church.
Religious Groups
The Methodist Woman’s Mis-1
i sionary Society is proud of the
I fact that its parent organization,
the South Georgia Conference W.
j M. S. was organized in Perry in
the Presbyterian church, in I87i).
j The local society was organized
l on the same day, and has func
tioned continuously ever since.
lAs recently as the 16th of this
i Sept, the society has reorganized,
iin compliance with changes j
i brought about by the unification
of the Northern, Southern and
Protestant churches, and is now
known as the Woman’s Society
of Christian Service.
The Baptist W. M. S. is cqual
-1 ly active and plays an important
j part in the religious life of the
I community. Among its other
I activities it emphasizes religious
work among the children of the
community.
The Presbyterian Women’s
Auxiliary fills the same need for
1 the Presbyterian church. Altho’
1 it is a younger and a smaller or
ganization than the other two,
in proportion to the membership
of the church it loses nothing by
comparison,
Susannah Wesley Bible Class
in the Methodist church and the
Clifford Hunter class in the Bap
tist church are also active as re
ligious organizations.
P. T. A. Active
The Parent Teachers Associa
tion centers its interests in the
school. Besides promoting clos
er cooperation between parents
and teachers, it is actively con
cerned with child health and all
j problems concerned with the 1
school. Its outstandidg achieve
ment during the past year has
been the school lunchroom, which !
provides lunches free for chil
dren unable to buy them During
the years that it has been func
tioning the P. T. A. has added
valuable equipment to the school
in the auditorium, the home
economics department, and the
playground.
Garden Club
The Garden club is primarily
interested in civic beautification.
By promoting interest in keep
ing individual yards and gardens,
by offering prizes for horticultu
ral specimens and holding flower
shows, us well as cooperating in
civic projects such as conserva
tion of our trees and planting dog
woods on our streets and public
grounds, the Garden club does
its bit toward making Perry a
1 more beautiful and more inviting
place in which to live. And it
sometimes branches out beyond
its own limits, as it did several j
years ago in undertaking to save
the beautiful oak tree on the
1 Macon highway.
Political Groups
The three patriotic organiza-1
tions serve a slightly different
need. Outstandingachievmentof
the American Legion Auxiliary
during the past few years has
. been the furnishing and equip-,
. ment of the American Legion
1 Home, as well as cooperating with
Legion Post in raising the funds
to build the home. The Auxil
i
iary is also interested in Ameri
1 canism and National Defense,
1 and the local chapter has won
1 state recognition on several
- occasions for its work along this
1 line.
. The U. D. C., since most of
the veterans of the sixties have
passed on, is concerned with
‘ keeping alive the memories and
’ traditions of the Old South. The
> Sgt. Clinton C. Duncan Chapter,
besides being responsible for the
’ observance of Memorial Day, of
-3 fers prizes for essays on sub
" jectsYelating to the South and
‘ its great men. The General Dan
iel C. Stewart chapter of the D.
‘ A. R. also stresses Americanism.
Besides studying the history of
n America, it promotes interest in
- our past by offering a rnedaj to
'} the best student of American
, history in the school.
Study Clubs
b There are two study clubs, the
y Wednesday Afternoon Book Club
- and the Sorosis club. Both clubs
HARDY- COLLIER WEDDING
Interest centers in the marri
age of Miss Dorothy Collier to
Mr. Alton Hardy which was sol
emnized Thursdy afternooon,
Sept. 26. at a beautiful cere
mony at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Collier, in Comer, Ga. The Rev.
T. C. Henderson, Baptist mini
ster of Commerce, and an uncle
of the bride, officiated.
The greenery and white gladi
oli of the improvised altar, plac
ed at one end of the living room,
were accented by tall white can
dles, which were lighted by the
bride’s sisters, Misses Sarah and
Virginia Collier who were gown
ed alike in dresses of dusty rose
crepe. Aunts of the bride, Mrs.
M. P. Moore, pianist, of William
son, W. Va. and Mrs. W. L.
Williams Jr. vocalist, of Com
merce, furnished the nuptial mu
sic. Gloria Porterfield, a niece,
dressed in pale blue, acted as
flower girl.
The bride and groom entered
together. Her dress was a fall
model of soldier blue crepe, with
which she wore wine accessories
and a shoulder corsage. She
graduated from G. S. C. W. and
taught in the Vienna school. The
groom is engaged in business
here as the representative of the
Wofford Oil Company.
Following the ceremony the
bride’s parents entertained at a
reception.
Mr. and Mrs Hardy returned
this week from a trip to the
mountains of North Carolina and
Tennessee and are in their new
home in Andrew Heights.
Those from Perry attending
the wedding were the groom’s
parents and sister and brother,
Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Hardy, Miss
Ruth and Mr. G. F. Hardy Jr.;
Miss Ada Williams, and Messrs
Johnnie Barge, Harris Rape, and
Clifton Turk.
PRICE-GRAY
Mr. and Mrs. Julian Mason
Price of Quitman, announce the
engagement of their daughter,
Julia, to Joseph Bowie Gray, of
Indianapolis, Ind., formerly of
, Perry, The marriage will be sol
emnized Oct. 19.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends
and neighbors for the assistance
given us Saturday when our
home was damaged by fire.
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Mosteller
and Family.
Friends of Mrs. M. M. Rainey
j will regret to learn of her seri
-1 ous illness.
study current topics and read
current Looks, and while their
purpose is primarily of a social
and self-improvement nature,
they co operate with other or
ganizations in carrying out civic
projects.
Of a purely social nature are
the three or four bridge clubs
and the sewing club.
They tell us that small as Per
ry is, we try to have all the or
ganizations of a large place.
There are, however, quite a num-
I ber that we do not have. We do
1 not have a Womans club, a W.
C. T. U., a Y. W. C. A., an 0.
E. S. to name just a few of
them, but it is just as well not to
call attention to any we lack.
Somebody might start organiz
ing, and the average husband
insists that if there are any
more women’s organizations
somebody will have to start a
I club for neglected husbands and
' orphan children.
Men’s Organizations
The men, however, have sev
eral organizations of their own,
and if they do not keep up in num
bers they make it up in en
thusiasm. The Robert D. Col
lins Post of the American Le
gion has made an enviable rec
• ord during the past year. Last
year the Legion had 66 members.
This year the quota is 05 mem
bers. The Post expects to go
; over its quota easily this year.
1 It has the very attractive Legion
Home as testimony to the feat
' that the men can do things when
they organize.
The Masonic Lodge is the oldest
of the men’s organizations. The
Houston Lodge No. 35 has an
interested and wide-a w a ke
■ membership.
The Kiwanis club is youngest
1 of the three but it has been a real
* asset to the community since its
1 beginning three years ago. The
city library owes its existence to
the efforts of the club, and all
3 civic projects either are started
3 by or find active support in the
3 i Kiwanis club
“NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING PAYS!”
So said W. B. Sims, local mer
chant, in praising the Home
Journal this week in connection
with National Newspaper Ser
vice Salute,
“I have been a regular adver
tiser in the Home Journal for 48
years without missing a single
issue,” Mr. Sims stated. I have
found that newspaper advertis
ing is the most economical means
by which I can tell the people in
our community about the goods
we sell.
‘‘While the local newspaper
renders a real service to the ad
vertiser, it renders an eve n
greater service to the communi
ty, and I am gla 1 for newspapers
everywhere to be given recogni
tion,”
I 1 IN "I "«
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
‘‘For twenty-seven years I
have found it profitable to carry
an advertisement in every issue
of the Home Journal.” J. W.
Blood worth said this week.
“I am glad to take this oppor
tunity of adding my voice to that
of civic, governmental, and busi
ness leaders all over the United
States, in praise of the service
which newspapers render to
their community, their state,and
their community.
“In times of stress such as we
1 ; live in today, the newspaper
Islands out as the guardian of
( demorcacy and of our personal
I liberties.”
