Thursday. September «, itfßl The Bandon Notebook: Friendship - A Priceless Gift Os True Value S By Maggie B. HI, NEIGHBORS! The true value of friendship was » vividly displayed last week * in the Beach community. Friends are more meaningful to me than worldly possessions. Life wouldn’t be worth living without friends. Share with me one of my favorite poems by Helen Steiner Rice, entitled “The Gift of Friendship”: § “FRIENDSHIP is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold, But its value is far greater that a mountain made of gold - For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear, And in the time of trouble it is powerless to cheer It has no ears to listen, no heart tp understand, It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand - So when you ask God for a Gift, be thankful if He sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches, but the love of real true friends.” On this glorious Lord’s Day as one looked upon the beauty of Nature which our Lord created, it made one fed like shouting “This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it”. ‘Twas just right for entering the church of your choice to thank God for His countless blessings. The fine folk gathered for Sunday School at Bandon Chapel were warmly welcomed by Supt. Meta Mason. She announced that the POA Bazaar is scheduled for October 3rd from 10 A.M. to 7 P.M.

CONGRATULATIONS! Pastor Bob and his lovely wife, Janie, are proud grandparents of a healthy baby boy! Janie and Pastor Bob left Edenton Friday afternoon so Janie could attend a Baby Shower for their daughter, Sheryl Pollard, Cary, N.C. that night.

At our morning worship service, the regular Order of Worship was followed with exception of the sermon. Bandon’s Shepherd, Rev. Robert S. Harrell read the first 17 verses of I Cor. 1, with emphasis on vs. 10. After the Choir’s Anthem, -' THE CHOWAN HERALD he invited them to join the congregation for the business meeting. Pastor Bob reminded everyone that the new church year begins in Oc tober. He requested that in the future, the congregation maintain silence when the minister and choir come in during the organ prelude and suggested that this time be used for meditation to prepare for the hour of worship. Fellowship is enjoyed during the coffee break and between Sunday School and Church. Before reports from the various committees were given, Pastor Bob stated he would like to speak to us straight from his heart. Resume follows: I have been with you for some time now and I love you very much. Tragedy, grief and sorrow were experienced in our community last week and I commend the people of Arrowhead Beach and Bandon Chapel for their quick response to the needs of their neighbors, for their love and concern. Basnight Family , Holds Reunion The family of the late Tom and Ellen Basnight gathered Sunday at the Masonic Temple for their sixth consecutive reunion.

EXERCISE IN AMERICA A recent study showed that only 36 percent of American families are regular exercisers, says Dr. Leo Hawkins, exten sion human development spe cialist at North Carolina State University. Adults who exercise regu larly are almost equally divided between male and female. The exercisers are usually the very young, very old, more affluent and suburban family members.
