The report from those who at-
tended the banquet at the Methodist
Church last Thursday evening is
that it was a success. Rev. W. Harri-
son Baker, of Greenville brought the
address, which was timely and help-
ful. Mrs. Evlyn Turner gave a spec-
ial in song. Mrs. Ruth Hilliard fav-
ored with a reading. Mr. N. E.
Shands, chairman of the official
board of the churfth presided and
gave a brief talk on the progress of
the church. The occasion was hon-
oring the men of the church. More
event like this should be held. Men
are truly the stay of the church.
The food was furnished and ser-j
ved by the ladies of the church. We
truly appreciate the co-operation
everyone showed.
We will have a special service at
our church Sunday morning. It is
Race Relation’s Day. Special music
and a message in keeping with the
order of the day will be given.
We especially urge our members
to attend at least one service each
Sunday. Visitors are always welcome.

of this Community
r THINK IT OVER *
How about doing a little cold
turkey thinking after you lay
aside this newspaper tonight?
Youve got a good job. The
chances are there is someone
else in your
family, per-
haps two or
three, work-
ing., Your
son or your
brother —
may he away
at war.
This war
must end
sometime. Your whole family,
your neighbors, are praying it
ef ds soon and those fighting boys
of yours will .come home safely.
But will you be ready for
whatever happens when peace
comes? Will you have some-
thing laid away? We’re all hop-
ing there 11 be jobs aplenty, jobs
which mean making something
for somebody's happiness and
x, for somebody’s sorrow.
That s-•jyhere your War Bonds
come mto the picture.# Sure,
American^ own billions of doh
lars of War Bonds now; and be-
fore this 4th War Loan ends
they will have put away billions
more. But how about you?
You re the one that counts. The
bigger the pile of War Bonds
you have when peace comes, the
bigger chance you'll have to slip
right into the post-war world
you re dreaming about tonight.
So “Let’s All Back the Attack.”
