State Patrol Urges
Extreme Caution
Many families already plan
ning Fourth of July holiday
jaunts. Its a merry "day but it
can easily be turned into a
tragic one. Here’s another re
minder from the Safety Educa
tion Division of the Georgia
State Patrol. Last year four
teen persons lost their lives
the July 4th holidays in Geor
gia- Drinking drivers, speeders
and careless pedestrians came
first in causing these mishaps.
Strict observance of the com
mon sense rules'of safety will
prevent a repetition of sucn
needless suffering and demolish
ed cars. The State Patrol will
be doing double duty over the
holidays to make the highways
safe. They ask you to join
them in making this a safe and
sane fourth by driving with ex
treme caution.

Not doing bad at all
Os course we were glad to see

Bryan Boy Scouts
Return From Camp
The Boy Scouts form Pem
broke and Richmond Hill that
attended the Scout Camp for a
week at Camp Strachan have
returned to their homes, and
all of them report a fine time
during the week.
There were about one hun
dred and thirty Scouts from
over the Coastal Empire and
when ye editor went to the
Camp on Sunday afternoon to
get the tour boys from Pem
broke it looked as if the boys
were having the time of their
life.
It is hoped to have a larger
number attend the camp next
year, for in addition to the
healthful outdoor program,
they get a good amount of
wholesome recreation and learn
a great deal.
CROOM AND GRUVER
MEET FRIENDS FOR
FLORIDA FISHING TRIP
On Tuesday afternoon A. H.
Croom and C. L- Gruver motor
ed to Lake City, Fla., where
they met several friends from
Fernandina and Live Oak, Fla.,
and then they proceeded to Old
Town, Fla., on the Suwannee
River for a real honest to good
ness fishing trip. Ye editor has
not learned just how many
fish these “Pembroke Bullies”
along with their ‘‘Flurida”,
friends enveigled out of the Su
wannee, but he will bet his bot
tom dollar that they had a good
iime. For in the past ye editor
has been fortunate enough to
be in on some of these parties
with friend Croom and his
“Flurida friends” and it was al
ways a large time for us.
NEIGHBOR CASON
A FRIEND INDEED
The longer we live in Pem
broke the better we like our
good friend and neighbor Her
man Cason. Over the year
we have learned that he is true
blue and will never let you
down. You can always count
on just what to expect and
what not to expect from Her
man.
He reminds us of the story
about the old gray mare, she
was to be depended on at all
times, and if you left her
hitched out back of the store
that is where you would find
her when you returned. That
is the way with Herman, he is
today what he was yesterday
and what he will be tomorrow.
Many times has he been of
assistance to us, and several
'imes when we have “appoint
ed” him to do this or that for
us, without having asked him,
we sorter felt mean, but he has
never yet let us down. Then
again friend Cason believes in
sharing the good things he has
with his friends, and today he
was by with a big sack of de
licious tomatoes, and" some of
the finest' corn, (in the shuck,
not the bottle), that we have
ever had given to us.
Long may you live and pros
per, for we know that we are
going to receive many blessings
and benefits because we are a
friend to the Casons.

EDITOR RECEIVES
HIS FIRST MELON
On Monday our good friend
Emory P. Smith presented ye
editor a fine fifty pound melon,
and this is the first one grown
locally that we have heard of.
Every year Emory looks af
ter ye editor and sees that we
have an ample supply of melons
and they are always of the
finest kind and taste better
than most melons.
He says that this is just a
“baby melon” and that soon he
will bring the “old man melon”
himself into us. We are look
ing forward to getting this
melon, and if it is as good as
the little one was, we have a
treat in store for us, inasmuch
as we will have so much more
of it.
The many friends of Miss
Laverne Lewis, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lewis will'
regret to. learn that she is a
patient at one of the Savannah
hospitals where she underwent
a serious Mastoid operation.
She is getting along nicely and
barring complications should
soon be able to return to her
home in Pembroke.

“Do you know that his kind

LIONS CLUB
INSTALL THEIR
NEWOmCIALS
The Lions Club meeting on
Tuesday night was without a
doubt one of the best held here
in years. There was a good at
tendance of Lions Club mem
bers, their wives and sweet
hearts- The meeting was held
at the lunch room.
। Before the meeting got un
, derway there was a number of
prizes given the ladies, and sev-
, eral stunts was indulged in that
proved to be entertaining and
also got the participants a
prize. A feature of the meet
ing was the Quartette and
piano player from Cobbtown
that entertained the crowd with
some mighty good singing.
1 During the meeting Presi
dent Bill Humphries adminis
tered the oaths of office to the
1 newly elected officials of the
club, and pledged to them his
wholehearted cooperation as a
member during the year ahead.
The entertainment" commit
tee is to be congratulated on the
fine meal served and also the
entertainment program arrang
ed. We are sure that the Lions
Club will make progress from
this time on. They have a pro
gram that is bound to please-
SHERIFF MILES SAYS
ADVERTISING PAYS
। A few days ago we gave
Sheriff Miles a write up about
the fine garden that he had,
and sorter intimated that the
sheriff was “overworked,” and
he said that some of his friends
charged him with giving us
something for the write up,
which he denied, and said that
he thought perhaps ye editor
was a hinting.
We were not hinting, but af
ter all our little write up has
paid off in more ways than one-
To start with Sheriff Miles
says that the publicity has
created a demand for his vege
tables and that he i s having
fine luck selling his surplus
vegetables, and better luck in
giving them away.
Then on Thursday (today) he
took ye editor in his car and
carried us around to his home
for a first hand look at his gar
den, and also a “peep” into the
twenty foot freezer locker that
is loaded down with the good
things that he has raised in his
garden. When we were about
to leave he loaded ye editor
with sbme of the finest to
matoes and corn that we have
bad this year.
Yes the write up helped the
sheriff, and it was a life saver
for ye editor and the chillun at
Needmore Farm.
not deny that God has been
good to them, but he does deny
that God approves their ac
tions. True God is being kind
to you but the purpose of that
kindness is to make you re
pent. There are times when
God uses calamity, suffering
and disaster to bring you to
repentance but now he is try
ing to melt your heart with
kindness. It would be well to
open your ears and hear the
voice of God in these blessings.
Unfortunately the blessings of
God do not always produce
change but satisfaction; The
same sun that melts the ice
hardens the clay.
