cheerful framd of mind, that refresh, instead of exhaust, the system; that recur frequently rather than continue long; and are accompanied with the consciousness that life has a higher end than to be amused send us back to Our daily duties invigorated in body and spirit. ' - ---— A festivity soaked with the above qualities has been held'every year for the past 14, by Prudential Life Insurance ‘executive, Eddie - Battle. ~ - Eddie sponsors this Christmas party tor his clients, to show them how much he appreciates their pa tronage. It began in 1968 at his home. It outgrew the coniines ot his lovely home, so he moved it ' to the Excelsior Club.' Just like babies’ leet, it kept growing. Now it is held at the National BOB JOHNSON Guard Armory. No one knows, yet, when or where the ' next mdve will be. The tun and excitement of the last function began around 9 p.m. And to give a little detail as to the number of peopfe Eddie expected to entertain, he ordered: eight gallons of liquid spirts, 50 pounds of shrimp, 55 pounds of baby ribs, 200 pieces of chicken, corn beef, ham, deviled eggs, four cases of wine, and five cases of beer. Whew! There were about 350 guests who came, who saw, and who conquered everything that was made available to them, right down to the disco music played by Robert Ardrey. This was their way of saying “thank you”, Eddie, for vour kind generosity. life guests included Mr. and Mrs. Frank Williams, Ruby Darby, Rev. and Mrs. R. B. Phifer, Mr. and Mrs. Freddy Ford from Saginaw, Michigan, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Brewster from Boston, Mass., Mr. and Mrs. James Dixon, Mr', aim Mis.

The service was held at Silver Mount Baptist Church and the breakfast'was served at her home. The breakfast, which garnered culmary gentility consisted of grits, bacon, salmon croquettes, sausage, homemade rolls, jelly, eggs, coffee, plain tea, Russian tea and jelly cake, served amid bubbling conversation that included snatches of r'esolutary promises.

GAME TIME...Dwell not too long on sports; for as they refresh a man that is weary, So they weary a man that is ref reShed. mrnviiuiH in i|tlTrmmr .ihcthar Willir Sharpe and Gerald Bfakeney were weary when they came to Bill Johnson Jr.’s house last Sunday afternoon. However, when they left, weariness weighed On them like a cast iron garment. The two of them had just taken some good-natured brow beating from a house lull of San Krancisco 49er fans. Who, by the way, left Bill’s house refreshed. 'The men involved iri this friendly game of, my team is better than yours, were Jack Branch, Tom SeOgars, LeVy Harrell, Am brose Goiries, Steve Hayes, Gerald Blaken ey and Willie Sharpe. It is strange that men will talk of miracles, revelations, inspiration, and the like, as things past, while love remains.
