LITTLE WORDS
It's just the little human touch
That makes the game worth while,
The little helpful words of praise,
The little helpful words of praise,
The small and cheery smile.
Though success crown your efforts and
■- You’re near the higher peak—
The Lord be thanked for kindly words
Men did not fear to speak.
When troubles daunt and sorrows sway,
And all the world is wrong,
When sunshine is obscured by rain,
.And silent is all song,
It’s mighty hard to pull ahead
When hope is almost gone.
But little words like these , have
helped—
“Good work, old man, keep on!”
It does not take much time to say
A word or two of praise.
And yet uncounted worth is there
To help through cheerless days.
And Oh, the hearts that have gained
hope
When life was drear and bleak.
From the kindly words, the cheering
words
Men did not fear to speak.
—Edmund Learn.

‘‘The Store of Shoe Service”
Clinton, S. C.
club, was called on for a short talk.
Delightful musical numbers were ren
dered by Miss Mary Lou Bell, Mrs.
Oliver Burroughs, and Mrs. J. F. Ja
cobs, Jr. . •
John Holland Hunter was the “end
man” of the occasion and after the
“initiation perch” of Tommy Grafton J
and Gary Martin, announced the maid
en performance of an all-star cast:
“When Father Goes On a Diet.” Parts
were cleverly taken by Mosdames G.
W- B. Smith, Gary Martin,. J. H. Hun
ter, Wilson Harris, and Gilbert* Blake
ly, Gobie Sloan and Tommy Grafton.
A blind-folded boxing match as well
as a blind-folded banana feast proved
quite exciting to the participants and
Ludicrous to the spectators. John Hol
land Hunter proved himself quite a
skilled song leader and soon had his
audience master the Siamese tongue,
to the extent of singing “O What a
Goose I Am!” to the tune of “Ameri
ca.” The singing of “Good Night, La
dies” scattered the guests, all loud in
their praise of Mr. Hunter’s entertain
ment.
The following menu was served by
Mrs. Wilson:
Grape Fruit
Turkey Rice
Giblet Gravy Dressing
Potatoes with Marshmallows
Celery Olives Cranberries
Tomato Salad with Asparagus Tips
Saltines
Ambrosia Pound Cake
