For Girls Return

Local and long distance telephone
service returned to normal when the
telephone walkout ended in Lexing-
ton Monday with the return of the
Is operators who have been outsince
the nationwide strike began on
April z.
The operators, all members of the

Monday morning after making state
ments to the effect that they would
not continue the walkout during the

the Lexington branch, who had been
taking emergency calls during the
walkout, expressed herself as very
pleased at the return of the girls.

tional strike is still in progress.

Methodist Church Plans
Mother's Day Service
The. Rev. c. T. Howell
To Deliver Sunday
Evening Message

Mothers Day will be observed
with appropriate services in the
Methodist Church with a sermon by
the pastor and special music appro-
pirate to the occasion. We do not
believe it is a day for superficial
sentimentalism, but one of gratitude
for Christian homes. Certainly it is
appropriate to 60 to church and
honor our mothers who are living
and the memory of those who have
gone to the Eternal Home.
The service next Sunday night
will be one of special interest to all
our members. Rev. c. T. Howell. the
newly elected editor of The Mississi-
ppi Advocate will be with us to
preach. The choir is preparing spe-
cial music for this occasion. Follow
ing the preaching service there will
be a social hour in the Educational
Building given by the ladies or the
Wesleyan Service Guild. Everyone
is invited to attend this informal
social. There will be music and re-
freshments and an opportunity to
meet our new editor, Bro. Howell.
The Wesleyan Service Guild is
sposoring the circulation Of the New
Advocate. The paper will begin pub
LEGATION June LIST. We hope to nave
a large list of subscribers as charter
subscribers from Lexington. It
would be fine to have our church to
be on the honor roll and have the
paper 60 into each of our homes Will
you help make it possible?
We believe you will like Bro. Ho-
well. It is always more interesting
to read what a man writes if you
know him personally and catch
something of the spirit of his per-
sonality as you read. You will enjoy
the paper more in the weeks to come
if you come to church next Sunday
night, May 18th and hear Bro. Howell
preach and then meet him in the
social hour following in the Educa-
tional Building.

At one time it was the man who worried most about his headdress. Men did not wear short hair until the fifth century. Some of the pop ular styles before that time includ- ed hair hanging in loose ringlets, or braided in two plaits wound around the head.
 In colonial Virginia, each man was required to carry weapon to church for protection against the Indians.
