Maurice Garner and Mrs. Faye

Mrs. J„S. Sparks of Panhandle
is the great-grandmother.
, sia as a "riddle wrapped in my-
stery inside an enigma. " She
said, "When we entered Russia,
we were met by an unsmiling
in-tourist guide who ordered our
meals - and our lives - through-
out our stay'. "
The Russians have an innate
love of their beautiful land,. Mrs.
Randel said, and many of her '
slides showed beautiful parks,
brilliantly colored buildings,
imposing churches, and magni-
ficent palaces filled with works
of art. Not only is there a vast
building program going on to
provide better housing for the
people, but thousands of chur-
ches and other historical build-
ings are being restored.
Leningrad, "the Venice of
the North, " Mrs. Randel affirm-
ed, is truly "the most beautiful
city in the world. " The Geor-
gians of southeastern Russia,
however, have a more indepen-
dent attitude and more freedom
of worship than do the people
in other areas.
In conclusion. Mrs. Randel
summed up her impressions by
saying, "The Russians are fed
and housed, but they lack that
most prized possession, freedom. "
Mrs. Marian Johnson introduced
the speaker.
Preceding the program, Mrs.
Genie Murray led the group in
singing the official Delta Kappa
Gamma song and "A Teacher's
Prayer, " with Mrs. Exie Vantine

ering from surgery.

en Anniversary Gift Fund to be

ators of the world in a genuine

"Love is very patient and kind,
never jealous or envious, never
boastful or proud, never haughty
or selfish or rude. Love does not
demand its own way. It does
not hold grudges and will hardly
even notice when others do it
wrong. It is never glad about
injustice, but rejoices whenever
truth wins out. If you love some-
one you will be loyal to him no
matter what the cost. You will
always believe in him, always
expect the best of him, and al-
ways stand your ground in de-
fending him. All the special
gifts and powers from God will
someday come to an end. but
love goes on forever." (1 Cor.
13:4-8)
Why express love on only 1
day, Valentine's Day? Try it
during the 364 other days of
the year!
