Hams Given Away
At Basketball Game
Polio took precedence over bas
ketball Tuesday night at the half
period of the boy’s game with
Brooklet when two hams were
presented those holding the lucky
numbers at the drawing with the
proceeds going to the Bryan Coun
ty March of Dimes drive.
During the evening tickets were
sold by a group of attractive
young ladies, a fact which great
ly facilitated the rapidity with
which they went.
F. 0. Miller acted as master of
ceremonies during the drawing,
designating the two hams as a
“country” ham, donated Jt>y L. C. |
lane of the Pembroke Ice Com-1
pany, and a “city” ham, given by
the Pembroke Journal who also
printed the tickets gratis.
In the first drawing Mrs. L. C.
Lane’s number was called with
Mrs. Lane graciously turning the
ham back in for a redrawing. The
ham was the product of a deter
mined pig, however, having taken
to the family at first sight, and
ended up in the larder of the
R. L. Lane family, with young
Roddy exclaiming exuberantly,
“Boy, I’m glad my daddy married
us.”
Mrs. J. O. Bacon held the lucky
number on the remaining ham and
her delighted squeal (no other
word could describe it) left no
doubt as to her pleasure.
The officers of the Bryan Coun
ty Polio Chapter, with Mrs. E. B.
Owens chairman, wishes to thank
all those who made the “ham pro
ject” such a success. An announce
ment will be made in next week’s
issue as to the exact amount tak
en in Tuesday night, as well as the
entire amount donated during the
March of Dimes drive.
Colin Adamson of Cocoa, Fin.,
has been the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Bowers.

"DO YOU NEED MONEY?"
Are you in Debt? Do you need financial aid Do you need money for a vacation?
Do you need funds to buy the Madam a new hat?
- - - To make money the METHODISTS have decided to GIVE MONEY AWAY. That
is correct — GIVE MONEY AWAY! This unheard of program will be staged at the
Methodist Church Sunday Night at the Evening Service. You may have the amount you
want.
SPONSORED BY THE METHODIST YOUTH FELLOWSHIP
7:30 P.M. — Welcome to the Evening Service — 7:30 P.M.
SPECIAL TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Dear Mr. Editor,
We of the Methodist Church understand that you have been in financial
difficulties at one time or the other, as most of us have been. However,
at this writing we have MONEY TO GIVE AWAY! Therefore, this
Methodist Church stands ready to aid ou,r Baptist Brother. For ex
ample, wouldn’t you like to give Mrs. Miller a new hat? That would
make you something more than an ordinary husband to that gracious
lady. In fact, we will add enough for a box of candy and then you will
never be in hot water again.
Therefore, you are cordially invited to attend the evening service at
the Methodist Church Sunday night. At that time we will provide
you with said money. Your picture will be taken receiving the money so
that the good Madam will know that you have the money to buy her a
new hat.
With best regards to you and the family, I am
Sincerely,
Signed,
Tom Watson, pastor,
Pembroke Methodist Church
Rev. Tom Watson, Pastor
Pembroke Methodist Church
Dear Brother Watson:-
Your letter offering Financial Aid to Ye Editor, so that
he may do some of the things he would like to do, has been received,
and let me assure you now that it will be a real pleasure for Ye
Editor, who happens to be a Baptist, to attend your services on Sun
day night and accept THE MONEY, so generously offered to me by
you good Methodists.
I am sure that my pastor, Rev. John R. Joyner will excuse
me, for straying from the fold and going to the Methodist Church,
inasmuch as 1 am going to get cash to help relieve my financial short
comings.
As for the wife, there is no doubt but that she too will
appreciate the gift of money from the Methodists to provide her with
a new “bonnet,” as well as a box of candy. It will bring back to her
memory “the good old days.”
It is gratifying to know that the Methodists of Pembroke
has money to give away, for that is an unusual condition in any church,
and certainly one that 1 have never witnessed before. Look for me
Sunday night, I will be on hand.
Sincerely,
F. O. Miller,
Editor The Pembroke Journal
Methodist To
Give Away Money
The Methodist Church will stage
an unheard program Sunday night
at the evening service, when the
Methodist Youth Fellowship will
literally GIVE AWAY MONEY!
That is correct — GIVE AWAY
MONEY. You may have all you
want as long as it lasts. Maybe
you need a vacation? Maybe you
need to buy the wife a new hat?
Maybe you are in debt. Maybe you
just need money. If so, you may
have all you want as long as it
lasts.
This is part of the financial
campaign for the church to pay for
the lovely new Methodist Par
sonage which is now under con
struction. The new home is sched
uled for completion about the
middle of April, and it is hoped
by the financial committee that
it will be entirely paid for by that
time. Therefore, immediately after
the evening service the Young
People will be present to serve
you money in any denomination.
We hasten to add, however, that
this is peculiar money. You may
return it any day you wish. How
ever, each day you keep it out
its value doubles. That is, one
dollar becomes two dollars the
second day; then four dollars,
then eight dollars, etc. In fact,
the Young People are looking for
two men to take one penny each
and keep them out for thirty days.
You are urged to come early for
a front seat so that you might get
your money before the supply is
exhausted.

0. Miller the president of the
Brotherhood has arranged for Dr.
L. G. Cleverdon, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Savannah

A. S. Bacon At
Deaths Door
The many friends of A. S. Bacon
will regret to learn that his con
dition is very critical, in fact it
looks as if “Uncle Albert” has
fought or is fighting a losing
fight, but knowing of the recuper
ative powers of Mr. Bacon his
friends still look for him to rally
and to recover. He has been in ill
health for years and has been in
and out of the hospital mighty
regular for several years, but it
now looks as if he has a slim
chance to come back home this
time. The Journal joins his many
friends in wishing for him a turn
for the better and his recovery
so that he can come back again.
He is the Ordinary of Bryan Coun
ty.
H. H. Dukes In
Critical Condition
The many friends of H. H. Dukes
popular Ford Dealer of Pembroke
will regret to learn that he is a
patient at the Oglethorpe Sani
tarium in Savannah and he is
critically ill. He has an artery
trouble, and it looks as if he does
not go to Houston, Texas for a
very rare operation, whereby a
section of his large artery is re
moved and a section replaced by
a surgeon who does this work, that
his chances are slim.
He has been in touch with the
Doctor in Texas and has been told
that he has made seven such op
erations and they have all been
successful, and at the present time
his family are contemplating on
taking Mr. Dukes to Texas for
this rare operation.
The Journal joins his many
friends in wishing for him the
best, and an early recovery so
that he can soon return home.
