The friends of Mr. Littlejohn
here at Slater regret very much
having him leave the Slater
plant, but rejoice with him in
his good fortune and promo-

new position.

A Thought, Smile

You'll win friends if you
have a good disposition. Good-
natured people attract others
simply because of the contagi-
ous good will they radiate. To
win friends faster, let others
see what a good disposition you
have. Get in the habit of smil-
ing. A good smile will never
end!

ABIE COOK GIVEN PARTY BY MOTHER

The very young set of Slater
were delightfully entertained
at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank A. Cook on the after-
noon of April 25, in honor of
Abie Cook's seventh birthday.

The children began arriving
for the part shortly before 4
o'clock, each proudly carrying
a present for Abie. After de-
positing the gifts in the livng
room, the guests played games
on the lawn. A number of
games and contests were enjoy-
ed by this group of youngsters,
all of them participating en-
thusiastically in every activity.

The children were elated
when Mrs. Cook presented each
of them with a gay paper hat.
After they had adorned them-
selves with these hats, the
children were invited into the
dining room. Eyes were wide as
the youngsters entered this
room, which was gayly deco-
rated for the occasion. Each
child's place was marked by a
beautifully colored paper plate
and "birthday napkin." Ex-
clamations were heard around
the room as the children spied
the beautiful birthday cake
with its seven glowing candles.
Everyone watched intently as
Abie blew out the candles and
cut the cake.

Refreshments consisted of
mixed candies, cake, and ice
cream.

Abie received a number of
gifts, all of which the children
enjoyed with him as he opened
each package.

Those attending the party
were: Peggy Scarce, Betty
Scarce, Barbara Lou Hester,
Fern Barrett, Ann Thompson,
Molly Dale White, Wynelle
Chastain, Eyvonne Chastain,
Mary Ann Tilley, Barbara God-
frey, Judy Cox, Emogene Park-

Burgess, Jean Hand, Gloria
Cook, Joyce Hawkins, Bobby

Wilson Conducts Baptist Revival

Reverend A. Howard Wilson,
pastor of Duncan Baptist
Church of Greenville, conduct-
ed a ten-day revival at Slater
Baptist Church from May 2
through May 13.

Reverend Wilson is a gifted
speaker, whose use of explana-
tory words and phrases adds
interest to his messages. He is
a well read Bible scholar and
a minister whose close contact
with the lives of people have
given him a full store-house
of experiences.

Perhaps one of the most
vital sermons Reverend Wilson
brought to the people of Slater
was the one he delivered to a
good sized congregation on
Sunday, May 6, when he used
the subject, "Why Are We
Chastised of God?" and the
texts found in Hebrews 12:9
and I Peter 3:17.

In this sermon, Revered
Wilson set forth the truth that
people are chastised of God
for breaking fellowship with
God. "According to the law of
God, when we have been saved
we must discipline ourselves"
in order to remain in fellow-
ship with God.

And the manner of chastise-
ment he set forth as being four-
fold. We are chastised through
calamities, through the removal
of material blessings, by be-
reavement, and by suffering.
Our sufferings also are in vari-
ous ways. Reverend Wilson ex-
plained that we suffer for the
sins of others, for our own sins,
for our own good, and for the
glory of God. "Those whom the
Lord loveth, he chasteneth."

Third Shift Men Enjoy Outing

The men on the third shift in
the Preparation Department re-
cently enjoyed their second
outing of the season by attend-
ing a fish fry at Wayside Park.

Under the capable supervis-
ion of Lowell Landreth, an ex-
cellent repast was prepared
and served. In fact, Mr. Land-
reth does so well in the culi-
nary business that some lucky
girl will no doubt find herself
relieved of such duties if she
and Mr. Landreth should ever
take a "walk for two."

Henry McCarson, Jim Wiley,
Tom Boggs, and James WIlson
were the speakers of the oc-
casion and all rivaled Daniel
Webster, Henry Clay, and
others of our best orators in
their display of forensic abili-
ties. We understand their sub-
jects ranged anywhere from
the gastronomical abilities of
some people to military secrets,
which of course cannot be
printed.

The third shift quartet, com-
posed of Archie Smith, James
Guest, Cecil Hughes, and Buck
McCall, was present and
rendered delightful music for
the guests. They were accom-
panied by Homer Capps on the
mouth organ.

It is hoped that the entire
third shift will be able to get
together at an early date for a
picnic.

Everyone attending this af-
fair reported having a good
time, as it was thoroughly en-
joyed.
