HARDIN PHONE: NO 9-71M maiBiaaiaoflfliABflflOQflDQOODI Church Affairs: On Monday morning, Nov. 25. the church auditorium was well filled for the joint meet ing of local property holders and the S. S. Board commit tee. Cottage owners from several states; representatives of church or association own ed houses or lodges; and lo cal citizens gathered at 9:00 A M. and enjoyed a three hour talk fest. Dr. Harold Ingraham of Nashville led the meetings, and in his own friendly, cordial, inimitable way set forth the history of S. S. Board’s af filiation with the Assemblies; their special problems, plans and desires for happy rela tionships with all concerned. Open discussion of local problems resolved into fuller understanding of matters heretofore not quite clear, and a fine spirit of closer communication and fellowship between all groups. At mid-morning W. K. Weeks was host to the As sembly for a coffee-break in the church social hall. At noon there was special prayer in observance of the funeral hour of President John F. Kennedy. The Thanksgiving Prayer Service on Wednesday even ing was enjoyed by a goodly group. Mr. Hocutt was as sisted by Ronnie Turner, Jer ry Bid'dix, Linda Bradley, Mrs. Willard Weeks, and Her man Saunders in giving in dividual reasons for grati tude to God. Mrs. Wayne Chastain sang a lovely solo. The congregation joined heartily in Scripture reading, singing of hymns, and pray ers. With several people still away on Thanksgiving vaca tions, the attendance on Sun day morning fell a little be low par. but services were good. Pastor Hocutt, as al ways, made the observation of the Lord’s Supper worship fully impressive and lovely music added much to the hour. Visiting here in the Dex ter Orr home while on leave from a Virginia Military post some two years ago, Arthur Riley, a young soldier, was won to Christ. Just before going overseas he was bap tized into the Ridgecrest Church. Last Sunday he was a most welcome visitor in the evening worship service. When his military term of duty ended he returned from Germany to his home in Mis souri. He was here this week to visit the church and the Orr family. In The Community: Quite a few families got together for Thanksgiving dinners in our village, with a friend or two also as invit ed guests. Mrs. George L. Hocutt left Wednesday night by plane to spend the holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Bowden. Airman and Mrs. Kenneth Rhodes and little daughter Teresa left Thursday morning for Newbury, N.

Word has been received from Lakeland, Fla., that Mr. Craven seems stronger and happier. He enjoys being out inthe sunshine in his rolling chair, and has several times been able to visit Mrs. Cra ven in the Nursing home where she is still a patient. Mrs. Edith Beam is now able to get about with the aid of a walker and a rolling chair; and with someone to help her, she can even walk up and down a long flight of stairs. Failing vision lim its her reading and doing other things to fill her lei sure time, however, so her days seem long. Miss Mary Speight, bright and cheerful always manages to get about her home and enjoys her telephone. When her friend and companion, Miss Bessie Hudgins, became ill some days ago, friends and relatives of Miss Speight felt it might be best for her to return to the V. A. Hospi tal for temporary care. But her typical cheerfulness ex pressed itself thus: “It is wrong to worry! ,I’ve found that if you just hold youi horses, grit your teeth, and wait, everything will work out all right. The Lord has al ways taken care of me, and He will do it now.” He did. Miss Shirley Orr answered her need and is acting as companion for aw’hile. Mrs. Lillian Gallamore's health is much improved She enjoys doing crossword puzzles, and reads quite a bit. She can go on occasion al shopping trips, and some times to church with a com panion.

C. Carol Pierson, a Girl’s En semble of thirty voices from First Baptist Church, Shelby, held a music retreat in the Miller Jackson home on Wed nesday night. Mrs. Jackson and the children moved over to her parent's home for the occasion, leaving the large group free for their practice of special Christmas music. If you heard “music in the air”, it may have originated there because they practiced until 2:00 A.M. and then for another hour after their Thanksgiving breakfast in the cottage before going back to Shelby. Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. Suther land are in their home here again after a very happy so journ of almost a month in their Abbeville, S. C. home.

C., with young Tommy Joe, Anna Marie, and the new baby. Honoring Mrs. E. E. Brown on her birthday, the Suther lands entertained Mr. and Mrs. Brown and Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Poore for Sunday din ner.

Leaving here on Oct 20 for Rocky Mount, she went next day to Wake Forest to attend the funeral of the beloved Dr. W. R. Cullum, in company with Mrs. S. T. Valentine of Nash ville, N. C. The following Sunday she went to Norlina for a visit with her sister, Mrs. H. H. Foster, and Dr. Foster. From there she went to Fayetteville where she had the joy of witnessing the or dination of her son. David Walters, as a Deacon in his church. Then followed days of visiting in Harrelsville, Christian Harbor, and Cole rain—the field of churches served by her husband as his first pastorate after graduat ing from Seminary in 1923. Old friends there took her to many points of interest, such as Manteo, Cape Hatteras (by ferry), and Williamsburg where she saw enough history in one day to entertain lis teners for many days. To Ahoskie, and then back to Rocky Mount she was met by her son Thomas who took her to his home in Charlotte to spend Thanksgiving. Mr. and Mrs. David Walters and children joined them there for two days of happy re union. Then home again to snow and ice! But she says she is happy to be once more in her own “hut on the hill at the head of the hollow.” Mrs. L. H. Stepp and her son Herman had real cause for joy and thanksgiving when thirteen other members of the family joined them for the holidays.

A gift must be per sonal, but useful. It must be something thev will appreciate, but not too expensive, practical and de sirable. What would meet all these requirements'1 AN EXTENSION TELEPHONE! * * * It’s certainly personal enough—they can put it in their own room. It’s available in various colors. It’s certainly inexpensive And what could be more practical than to have the teenagers off the family phone and in their room for those drawn out teen age conversations.

Mom may want one too. • • • ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL would be interested in the things going on at Abilities, Inc., a manufacturing company near New York City. Every one of over 400 employees is handicapped in some way. The company originally started ten yean ago with four employees with just one good leg and five arms among them! A big part of the work they do is for Western Electric, supplier of Bell System communications equipment. Mr. Bell’s inter est in helping the handicapped grew out of his work with deaf people. And out of this grew his interest in the whole Held of communications. • • • MYSTERY. A woman in New Or leans couldn’t undentand why her friends complained that she often picked up her phone when it rang and then didn’t answer. So she kept an eye on the phone. Seems that a cat whose naps were being disturbed had learned to knock the receiver off the hook with his paw, then take up his nap where he’d left off. The problem was solved when the bell chime was installed. Now the cat purrs when the chime chimes.
