Morgan Manufacturing Company Opens Prayer Room! “This is one of the most admirable and significant things that has happened in our community in a long time . . . That certainly has made an impression on the employees I've come in contact with ... It will help those who are trying to do right, but who might be tempted at times, to stay on the right road ... It will make the employees and employer feel close together and give them something which they can each share without a feeling of being left out." These are a few of the comments heard re garding the opening of the prayer room at Morgan Manufacturing company recently. The Rev. Mark Jenkins of Arden spoke at the dedication service during which all activ ities in the plant came to a standstill. Prayer services are held twice daily, Monday through Friday—once for the day shift and once for the night shift The services are conducted by employees, except when a guest is invited to hold the service. “The goal of the entire program,’’ as ex pressed by Col. Robert Morgan, “is to have all of us at Morgans grow in Christian ways and to dedicate this business to Christian principles.’’ The prayer room is only one of the many steps being taken by the Morgan Manufacturing company personnel to stim ulate Christian activity and to put into action their slogan, “Christianity on a seven-day week rather than one day.” The Prayer Room is firm evidence that at Morgan Manufacturing company they are going about their work of making their slogan more than a phrase. They work to gether, they eat together, now theyfrpray to gether. But more significant than the room or any of the physical furnishings is the realiza tion by the employees that someone is con cerned enough about their well being, about their spiritual life to want them to stop for a few minutes each day to give thanks for all the good things that we as Americans enjoy. The effect on the community will be felt in many ways. Aready people are telling of talking to employees of Morgans and how much impression the program has made. And it is barely started. We predict that the pro gram will spread, not only to other industrial plants, but to the homes and other institu tions located in the community. How many homes pause each day for prayer? It might be better to ask: “How many homes do not set aside a prayer period during the day and week?” We might be surprised at the answer. Bill Early is president of the or ganization.

When a loud voice announced “The State of Texas versus Willie Jones.’’ He was heard to mutter “Lawd’ a mighty! What a majority!” Dear Folks: (This is a special note to my readers who are from Old Fort really, but who for one reason or another, can’t be at home now.) You must be wondering wheth er signs of spring are beginning to show at home. Well, let me tell you, they surely are. For the past three weeks, the rain has been falling, but windy weather is beginning to dry out the ground. Plowing has been delayed, of course, but things are starting to grow! The weeping willows have long since turned shiny and now have tiny buds on ’em. Jon quils are up ahead of time, and in sunnier sections of town are beginning to bloom. Flocks of robins have returned from the South; maples in the woods are turning red; and “peep frogs hol ler” on warmer nights. We know that March is ahead, and all the misery it usually brings, but Spring is not far off. Hurry back to Old Fort. We miss you. —Your Reporter. MRS.
