Rev. Guy H. Wilson, pastor
of the church, read the double

white tapers were arranged in
semi circle to form an arch as

Rev. Mills is a forcefnl

gladioli completed the scene.
Miss Laura Ann Thompson,

tion for the Nacogdoches dis-
trict.
In his short talk before the |
Lions Club Tuesday he stuted
that tho he had gone thru the
last war and now was not ac-
ceptable for service—his hair
beginning to fall, teeth gone,
and had started growing east
and west instead of north—he
felt humble when in the pre-
sence of the boyfe now return

(By Susim Thayer)
Someone said the other day
that full employment must be-
gin in the community. I’d go
further and say it must begin
in the individual.
This makes me think of Em-
eline, who has never been ‘em-
ployed’ in her life, hut would
never be unemployed if she
needed a job, because she goes
around doing the things she
sees that need doing.
Out in the country Emeline
discovered an old lady making
some particularly enchanting
aprons. Carrying some samples
to town, she got an order from
a store for three dozen. From
that beginning has grown a
profitable handicrafe business-
profitable to both Emeline and
a lot of people in that small
town where it staffed. “I’ve
seen an operation paid for,
false teeth bought, a mortgage
paid off,” she told me.
Emiline saw a need for an
anthology of children’s poetry.
She got one together and got
it published. Her cook had a
collection of very special re-
cipes. Emeline wrote a fore-
word and found a publisher
for a cookbook, with royalties
to the author, of course.
The projects she has up her
sleeve take my breath away.
And what a wonderful time
she has too!
Don’t think all jobs come
out of an employment office.
They come from being alert,
seeing u need, and doing some-
thing about it.
