Your Home's Best Friend'
By L«roy Tann«r
One good thing about
higher Christmas tree
prices - it's a lot easier
to reach the top now
than it used to be.
Thirty years ago,
people didn't sit in their
living rooms watching
30-year-old movies.
Horse sense? Wasn't
it the horse who was
afraid of the automobile
at the turn of the
century, when pedestrians
were laughing at
it?
At no time is a little
knowledge more dangerous
than when someone
is using it to start a
rumor.
Rumor has it that our
new line of fireplaces
and accessories is fantastic
at Alex Watkins,
Inc., Montgomery St.,
Henderson.
Warren Plaza
News
By MARTHA PAGE
On Thursday night, Dec.
8, the Providence Missionary
Society, with Mrs. Anna
Fuller in charge, visited
Warren Plaza and gave the
residents a Christmas party.
Refreshments were
served and Christmas
carols were sung.
Every resident not bedfast
attended and enjoyed it
very much. Christmas is an
exciting time for the
residents here. Many, many
of them have no families or
anyone that cares for them
and this time of the year is
the only time they receive a
gift.
On Wednesday night,
movies were again shown by
James Page. "Freddie The
Frog" cartoons and "The
Story of William S. Hart"
were shown.
On Sunday,evening, Dec.
11, the Bethlehem Christian
Church of Rt. 3, Littleton,
again visited us at Warren
Plaza and gave another
Christmas party for the
residents. Refreshments
were served, along with
lime punch and gifts were
distributed to every resident.
I've never seen
happier faces than I saw
that night. It would gladden
anyone's heart to see how
much this means io these
people.
We put up a Christmas
tree and some decorations
on Monday. We invite all of
you to come by and visit
with us. We are adding
rooms for 12 more beds and
will have 80 residents by
spring.
