SUE JONES, Editor Friday, June 25, 1954 ‘There’s the story they tell of the da} it became hot enough in D. C. to fry an egg on the capitol steps, and am not too sure but what it was tru. Have been thinking late- ly, that it is getting real warm these days, and where else shall we go—for coolnes and diversion— but shopping. Sseees Went into that air-conditioned Home Appliance Co., 605 Simon- ton Street, and. found out they sell them too—Carriers, Fedders, Hotpoint and Amana. + Looked longingly at tifat beau- tiful Amana upright freezer. In- quired about it and inspected its new “Stor-Mor” Door — which holds over 80 extra pounds of food! Also, the full width design of the Amana increases the visible storage space and makes for maximum accessibility. No long- er do you need fo become irritat- ' ed because you can’t find what you want! Also, this model Amana uses up to 40% less floor and wall space. It has won the coveted Fashion Academy Award and, oh golly the Amana Freez- er at Home Appliance freezes lots of food faster—and saves you time and money! SStazes My Red Shawl tells’ me that Johnny DePoo has sent a request for bikes for his girls. Of course, they are mere infants and it all sounds like a proud poppa. Under- stand Johnny and his family will be returning to live in Our Town BEemeet ‘There pearls for the girls and wristwatches for men—and rings for the teens—at Johnson‘s Jewelry Shop, 624 Duval who have been “jewelerizing” people since 189%—and doing a good job of itt Love to sit in the “Mexican” chairs and just look around.

Asked after Ann and found that she is just fine and naturally, we didn’t discuss-whe- ther it would be a girl or boy (those they have four of)—but | did ask Carl if he had any gro- ceries to sell and he allowed as fhow—they had a few. That. is an understatement if ‘ve ever heard one! THEY SELL EVERYTHING you need at a market. But today, want to eal your attention most particu- larly to two things! (1) The high quality and low prices — for instance, FIVE PACKAGES.OF LIBBY’S FROZ- EN VEGETABLES are only ONE DOLLAR! These include peas, broccoli, cauliflower, leaf spin- ach and C. S. corn!

The altar rail was decorated with fern and stephanotis, and two large baskets of gladioli and lace fern were placed on either side of the altar rail. Two altar vases of gladioli were on the communion table. The-candles were placed on the inside of the altar rail.

One more thought — Mar-Ed is now making some unusually good-looking strapless cotton dresses and “tiered” skirts. Was told the tan model in the window had “a wrought iren” print—but between us girls—looked more like black hens, skillets and and- irons—very snazzy though! z= Sez The article mentioned above continues: “Ever hear anyone belt out “Home on the Range” on a chal- zozerah?

The flower girl, Janice Carey wore a pink gown and hat fash- ioned ‘like the bridesmaid’s. Her green trimmed basket was filled with rose petals. Joseph H. Lowe, a nephew of the bride, was ring bearer. He was dressed like the groomsmen in white coat, dark trousers and black bow tie. He carried the rings on a white satin pillow. Charles Gibson, a close friend of the groom, was the best man. Groomsmen were Allen Carey and the bride’s brothers, Sidney || G. Lowe, Louis M. Lowe and Ben- jamin S. Lowe.

Frankforts and rolls, potato chips, cold drinks and cup cakes are on the menu. All friends and members are cordially invited to attend. * Following the supper, at about 7 o'clock, the motion picture, “The Sickle or The Cross,” will be shown in the church. The conflict between Commun- ism and Christianity is vividly portrayed by a cast of top-ranking actors in the full length movie which was made at the Hal Roach Studios in Hollywood. The plot revolves around the unbelievable cunning with which the Communists bring to Amer- ica one of their comrades called “K-14.” He succeeds in fooling an en- tire church into believing that he is a missionary. He plans to dis- credit Christianity until one day he is face to face with the firm faith of a Christian boy. From that moment, Comrade X-14 realizes the genuineness of Christianity, accepts Christ, and public gives testimony of his faith. This picture is one that every- one should see. It is one that none will ever forget.
