BOUQUET TO JOHNSTONS Editor, The Citizen: Some weeks ago the Ley Me- Methodist Church began collect newspapers, magazines, cardboard, ete. raise funds in order to build a Sunday School Bldg. At that time our pastor, Rev Eldon Simmons, called for the support of his parishioners and friends of the church to assist him in collecting, processing and}! hauling the paper. The response has been very gratifying. But out of .most programs comes a little story or incident that is’ remembered long after the program has come to a con- clusion, and of such a story I would like to tell here. Mrs. Molly Bell Johnston of 1103 Watson street, who i; 20 years of age, has personally col- lected and hauled over 10,000 Ibs. of cardboard, newspapers, maga- zines. Mr. Johnston has ed her in this tremendous task whenever his health has permit-/| ted him. We are inclined to look upon our elders, for the most part, as béing feeble, or in need of our support. In this case, however, I’m sure you will agree that Mr. and Mrs. Johnston have set a living example of “You . never too old, or too young work for the kingdom of God here on earth.” When asked where and how} she was able to accumulate such} a vast amount of paper, Mr Johnston replied, “Oh, I just call} on my friends.” | This remarkable lady’s ambi- tion is to see a new SS. building erected for the overflow of youngsters at Ley Memorial I would like to add that if a little of Mrs. J.’s spirit would ru off on the rest of us—that ambi- tion could be realized in the very near future. “Bouquets to the Johnstons.” | WILLIAM N.
