TO OUR MANY FRIENDS
We want to thank everyone for
the kindness shown at the death
of our beloved father, Dock Lat
timore, who passed on July 7, 1939.
It is really a comfort to know
we are among so many real
friends, when at a time like this
means so much. It makes one
proud to live among such fine peo
ple.
Our sincere thanks to our friends
for the beautiful flowers as well
as those from the church, Girls’
Softball team, and the '39 gradua
tion class. And the kindness shown
by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Williams,
Dr. Martin and Dr. Stevenson will
always be appreciated. May God
bless you all.
Mrs. Dock Lattimore
and family.

John K. Caldwell, United States
consul general in Tientsin, brought
ttie United States formally into the
Par Eastern situation by delivering
complaints of American business
men there to Japanese Consul Gen
eral Shigenori Tashiro. The Amer
icans protested inconvenience and
losses caused by Japanese blockade.
Dear Editor and Readers of The
Herald:
I wish to make a correct state
ment of the sudden death of our
dear brother, Dock Lattimer. He
was at the Pentecostal Church of
God, 11 hundred block Henry St.
of this city, as I was conducting a
revival meeting. Bro. Lattimer al
ways enjoyed coming to my meet
ings. He was converted in this
faith about three years ago in a
tent meeting conducted by Rev. W.
T. Morefields. On Friday night,
July 7, about 8:45 p.m., Bro. Dock
was giving his experience of sal
vation. He spoke of his life since
converted and said he was living
a life his friends could see he
was a Christian. All at once he
staggered forward and he then
seemed to catch. Turning toward
the stand he fell backward. I got
to him first, felt for his pulse, but
found none. He only made 2 or
3 very light struggles. Bro. Dock
never moved hand nor foot after
he went down—that I saw. I had
the doctor called but it was too
late. We were sorry to part with
our dear Brother Lattimer, but his
life as a Christian will live on
with his many friends. May God
bless his friends and loved ones.
Rev. H. V. Lawson, Pastor of the
Pentecostal Church of God.

SUNDAY DINNER
~^$U$#e&U6HS
By CORA ANTHONY
Director of A&P Kitchen
MELONS arrive in abundance along
with the season that is apt to be
very hot. Their cool thirst-quenching
quality is particularly appealing at this
season. Other fruits and berries are
plentiful and generally reasonable in
price.
The first sweet corn grown in nearby
areas is promised for this week and of
course the less time from picking to
table, the sweeter this popular vegetable
is. Green beans are plentiful and cheap.
A long list of other vegetables, salad
greens and fruit is also low in price.
Beef and poultry offer the best meat
values as lamb continues high, good veal
is less plentiful and less pork has been
reaching market for slaughter. Many
varieties of seafood are abundant anil
cheap. Good eggs are very reasonable
for the season.
