"COASTAL GEORGIA’S LEADING WEEKLY NEWSPAPER"
Farmer Miles
Doing Alright
On Sunday our good friend E.
W. Miles carried us to his farm
just west of Pembroke and gave
us a turn of Turnips and showed
us his livestock and over his pas
tures.
He was as happy as a “dead
pig in the sunshine.”
Saying that it was certainly
a relief to be out of office, that
now he could spend a day with his
family or friends and not ne
glect his duty as sheriff in doing
so, and that he was no longer
bothered by telephone calls at all
hours of the night to investigate
this or that, and that no longer
would it be necessary to lay out
in a swamp all night to catch
some illegal moonshine operators.
And from all appearances Farm
er Miles was much happier than
we ever remember seeing Sherriff
Miles.

HOT AND HEAVY
WITH THE MARINES IN KO
REA —A wounded Marine was
carried into a forward aid station
during the fight for Bunker Hill.
He was using “hot” language
as the doctors and corpsmen re
moved the remains of a shatered
boot from his right foot. When
asked by the -chaplain what all
the cussing was about, he said,
“Father, I’ve waited seven months
for a pair of these new combat
boots and I’ll be darned if the
first day I’ve got them on, Charlie
Chinaman doesn’t ruin ’em with
a grenade.

Front-end styling of the completely re-designed Chevrolets accen
tuates the appearance of power and fleetness in the new line. As
shown above, the surface of the hood this year extends farther
forward before curving abruptly down to the radiator grille. Adding
its note of beauty and distinction, the outer rim of the grille en
circles the parking lamps and center bar mounting three decorative
“prop bars.” Increased performance, comfort and convenience are
outstanding features of the 1953 Chevrolet line.

U. J. Bacon, Clerk of Courts of
Bryan County was a patient at
the Bulloch County Hospital where
he went for a thorough rest and

PEMBROKE, GEORGIA THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1963
Mrs. Maggie Lanier
Holding Her Own
The many friends of Mrs. Mag
gie Lanier will be pleased to learn
that she is getting along better
and is now holding her own, witn
a chance to improve. Due to her
age it was feazad that her illness
might prove fatal, but with an
improvement in the weather Mrs.
Lanier is getting better and it is
hoped that she will soon be able
to be up and about her home.
Yes, it’s on display right now, waiting
to show you what a really modern
tractor can and should be.
It’s waiting with extra power, extra
size, extra weight. It’s ready to dem
onstrate new handling ease, comfort
and convenience.
It’s eagerly waiting to introduce you
to the most advanced hydraulic sys
tem in any tractor. We call it Live-
Action Hydraulic Control. That means
split-second hydraulic response any
time the tractor engine is running.
Then there’s a choice of hydraulic
speeds when you want even faster
action. It is called Hy-Trol.
This new tractor is waiting with
its great new overhead valve Ford
“Red Tiger” engine. With its greatly
reduced piston travel, lessened friction
and other advanced design features,
this engine develops ample reserve
power with new economy of gas
and oil.
Most important of all, Ford’s
Golden Jubilee Model is waiting to
show you what it can do —what this
great combination of modem advance
ments and every time-proved Ford
Tractor advantage means in more and
better work, done more easily and
more profitably;
SEE IT NOWI
You Should Know
This Information
(This is one of a series of
articles were prepared by your
Social Security Office at Savan
nah, Georgia. You can get more
information from that office by
visiting there, writing, or tele
phoning 6-1589.)
Small businessmen are now cov
ered by the Federal social security
law, the same as their employees
are.
This is something fairly recent
in America’s social .security sys
tem. Before 1951, only wage and
salaried workers were under so
cial security.
The change has been requested
for some time by business associa
tions and individuals. For years,
they had been paying half the
cost of the employees’ social se
curity but have received no pro
tection for themselves.
If you own a business or are
a partner, your net earnings from
the business will build up social
security protection for yourself
and your family.
Coverage for self-employed is
mandatory, not optional with the
individual. However, earnings of
self-employed farmers and certain
professional people will not be
counted toward social security.
Self-employed people with net
earnings of S4OO or more in a
taxable year pay their own social
security contribution at the rate
of 2'4 of their net earning up to
$3600. The reports are made in
connection with filing Federal in
come tax returns on or before
March 16.
The only action necessary be
fore that time is to get a social
security card. They are issued by
your social security office at Sa
vannah, Ga.
Hr you want to get more in for
mation about how you, either as
a self-employed business man, or
because of your Viork for some
one else, arc protected by the So
cial Security Act, get in touch
with your social security office.
You can write them or call 6-1589,
if you are not able to go to the
office personnally.

Baby Sue Needs
Home For
Temporary Period
Do you want to share your home
for a few months with Sue? She
is only a few weeks old, a tiny,
cuddly mite of a baby.
Iler mother loves her, but is too
sick to give her the care she
needs. Mr.s. Alethia C. Brewton,
the Bryan County Welfar Direc
tor, says that the Department of
Public Welfare urgently needs
boarding homes for Sue and other
Georgia children like her. Some
of these children have parents who
are sick; soma of them are ne
glected, deserted or from broken
homes.
These children are not for adop
ion. Most of them will eventually
return to their own families. They
are in need of a family who can
give them the love and understand
ing care which every child needs,
especially during the difficult time
in their lives.
A faster family must have both
parents who are in good health,
who love and understand children
and who in other ways meet the
foster home requirements of the
Department of Public Welfare.
Board is paid for a child while
he is in the home. Medical care
and incidentals are provided and
the Welfare Department shares
with the Foster parents the re
sponsibility for the child.
Families who want to give fos
ter care to children should get in
touch at once with Mrs. Alethia
C. Brewton, Director, Bryan Coun
ty Department of Public Welfare,
Pembroke, Georgia.

NUMBER 11
POLICE END
CRIME] SPREE
OF ESCAPEE
A Negro escapee from Bryan
county who made the classic mis
take of returning to the scene of
his crime was back in jail at Pem
broke Friday night after an ill
fated spree through two counties.
Bryan County Sheriff, Kyle
Smith said Paul Roberts, 22, es
caped from a public works camp
there late Wednesday night and
in the next 24 hours:
Burglarized the Warnell home
at Pembroke, pointed a stolen pis
tol at Miss Carolyn Warnell, Chat
ham county home demonstration
agent, when she caught him try
ing to re-enter the residence, elud
ed a posse and bloodhounds, stole
a car, and broke into a store.
Ironically, Roberts was serv
ing 18 to 20 years for having
burglarized the Warnell residence
several years ago. Authorities
were at a loss to explain why he
decided to “raid” the house again.
The convict, however, was prob
ably under the impression that
the Warnells were out of town
for the holidays. Sheriff Smith
said evidence shows Roberts took
his time looting the home Thurs
day and even packed a suitcase.
“He apparently intended to pick
up the suitcase on his second visit,
but was surprised by Miss War
nell,” the sheriff theorized.
Roberts’s crime wave was halt
ed late Thursday night when two
Glynn county policemen spotted
him re-fueling the stolen automo
bile at a Brunswick service sta
tion.
Sheriff Smith said the 230-pound
Negro still had the pistol and was
wearing a Coast Guard uniform
stolen from Charles Warnell when
arrested.
Roberts admitted the crimes,
and revealed he had ^rglariced
the stor'd of C. B. .lones at Rice
boro during his flight. Sheriff
Smith said the convict knocked
the dial off the store safe, but was
unable to open the door.
Sheriff Smith, who assumed his
duties Thursday, gave this version
of the escapade:
Roberts, burglarized the War
nell home early Thursday after
noon- and left after stealing a .32
pistol and the Coast Guard uni
form. Miss Warnell and her sister
Dorothy, returned home unexpect
edly and discovered the crime.
Before they could notfiy authori
ties, Roberts returned and was
surprised by Carolyn at the back
door. The Negro leveled the pistol
at her. Miss Warnell fell to the
floor screaming, Roberts fled.
Sheriff Smith launched a wide
search for the escapee and the
Georgia State Patrol sent a team
of bloodhounds from Reidsville to
help.
Roberts stole a 1950 sedan from
Mrs. M. P. Abbott and apparently
decided to flee to Florida. Penni
less, he stopped in Riceboro to
remedy that situation, but succeed
ed only in stealing,some groceries.
The Georgia State Patrol radio
ed a description of the stolen auto
nobile to all police departments
n Georgia, thus resulting in the
arrest.
Sheriff Smith said Roberts will
be charged in Bryan county with
burglary, larceny of a car, and
escaping. He also faces a burglary
harge in Liberty county for break
ing into the store. *

News gives an account of the es
cape and recapture of Nuky Rob

Gang.
WITH THE MARINES IN KO
REA —There’s nothing more em
barrassing for a Marine wireman
than to be caught with his “lines”
down.
Two communications men were
stringing wire from the Main Line
of Resistance to an embattled out
post when they heard someone
behind them. They ducked into the
shadows just as an enemy soldier
strolled up, nonchalanty coiling
the freshly laid communication
wire on his arm.
The Marines turned their wrath
on the enemy wire thief who never
knew what hit him. Then the wire
men retraced their steps, laying
down the wire again.
