We are pleased to see so many of our
citizens taking pride in their homes.
The word "home" next to that of ''moth-
err" is the greatest ever uttered by
/ human tongue. What refuge the
home is when the darkness gathers!
How glad one is to get glimpse of home
( when time and space have separated
him from it if even for brief period!
There seems to be good natured rival
ry here in an effort to make sour home
look little neater and thus be more in
viting to the occupants than all others.
Such rivalry is certainly pardonable.
