probably ever received by a judge.
Believe it or not. his Wife and
son presented him a beautiful bicy

B true.
W "I was tickled pink.” declare'
Judge Godwin, “because I neve" had
one as a boy (because my mothe"
could never afford to give me one l
and we men are just little boys
grown up.”
The real reason Dunn’s popula"
judge wanted a bicycle was so that
he could ride with his boy duriiv
the little bit of time he has at home
during week-ends.
Judge Godwin is one of the hard

CLOTHING GREATEST NEED
It was noted that America’s tra
ditional national holiday of Thanks
giving brings into sharp focus each
year the contrast between the
plenty that is America’s and the
still meager, miserable existence
eked out by millions in other lands.
Yet for many a year the Americans
have not let Thanksgiving week go
by without remembering and doing
something practical and effective
about the plight of their less for
tunate friends overseas. It was also
pointed out that ‘lack of clothing,
blankets and shoes remains the
greatest single need facing the
world’s refuged populations as an-
