By Mrs . Ruby Tharpe
Mrs. Mary Rutherford
of Bridgeport, Conn,
returned to her home last
Wednesdasy after at
tending the funeral of her
brother and visiting with
her son, James and
mother, Mrs. Mary
Thomas for a few days.
Mrs. A.D. Redmond
and Mrs. Arthur Tharpe

Parade in Warner Robins
last Saturday.
Mrs. Ruby Tharpe,
Mrs. Ethel Williams,
Mrs. Mary McKenzie and
Mrs. A.D. Redmond
attended a retired
Teacher’s Meeting in
Warner Robins last
Wednesday.
Thought for the week;
What a strength and
spring of life, what hope
and trust, what glad,
unresting energy, is in
this one thought, to serve
Him who is “my Lord”,
ever near me, ever
looking on; seeing my
intentions before He
beholds my failures;
knowing my desires
before He sees my faults;
cheering to endeavor
greater things, and yet
accepting the least; in
viting rny poor service,
and yet above all content
with my poorer love. Let
us try to realize this,
whatsoever, wheresoever
we be.

Metaphor Song”. These
“fathers” are acted by
brothers Steven and Tony
Harris. Both brothers are
equally talented. Curtis
and Bonita come back for
another song “Soon Its

matches “Try To
Remember” in musical
beauty and lyrical
warmth. 1
The final scene of the
play features a comic
fight sequence involving
Curtis, Bonita, Mike and
the addition of Greg
Kennoy and Donald
Forbes. It is
choreographed to per

Anderson. The play will
be presented in com
petition on December 4
and will be presented to
the public at the Perry
High Annex on November

Take the time to go
down and see the play. It
is a fine show with a good
bunch of young actors. It
will be thirty five minutes
of your time well spent.
