Friends are one of the most
priceless possessions to be
treasured. This proved true for
Ralph Vance last week when a
friend learned, Ralph was going to
have to make a distant trip to take
care of some business affairs for a
relative. Forest Mullins came to his
rescue when he learned of the situa-
tion.and madgjhe trip in his own
vehicle which took most of the day.
These helps will never be forgotten
and words cannot convey the depth
of appreciation for such friendship
that would accept nothing for such
service as he rendered to Ralph.
Love is such a short word, and
the heart a small organ, but the
space and distance it reaches is
limitless. We will always be indeb-
ted to him, and hope some day to
partially be able to repay the favor
if the opportunity is possible.
