FELLOWSHIP MEETS AT CENTRAL The Golden Age Fellowship met November 15 at the Social Hall of Central Methodist church. The meeting opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. F. G Hartley. A Thanksgiving program was presented by some students of the Newberry Academy. 8th grade students under the lead ership of Mrs. Robert Beach acted out the first meeting of the Pilgrims when they con sidered having a Thanksgiving. They were in costume of the Pilgrims except two, who were in native Indian dress. These were Indian friends of the col onists, Massasoit and Squanto. Each spoke in turn of their blessings, liberty, freedom of worship, and the good health of those remaining. The ad dress of Governor Bradford summed up the desire of all for a Thanksgiving and he in vited the two Indians to share in festivities. The fourth grade children under Miss Sallie Lee Cromer, with Mrs. Mae Epting at the piano, sang three songs appro priate to the occasion. It was all beautifully done and the ladies of the Golden Age thor oughly enjoyed it. Mrs. R. B. Carroll gave the devotions, her theme being the 6th and 7th verses of Psalm 95, a Psalm of Thanksgiving Four had birthdays in Nov ember: Mrs. L. W Bedenbaugh, Mrs. Pope Buford Sr., Mrs. D. J.
