“Democratic and Proud of It"
Ports Authority should be mode to Resign
It has been anounced “officially” that Henry W. Sweet
has “resigned” from his duties at the State Port, that the
Ports Authority had settled with him and that every one is
P^o the average Georgian that will sound all right. But
if you go into the matter and ask the whys and wherefores it
will not sound so good. In fact the thing will smell.
It is rotten to the core, and for any body of “three
distinguished” Georgians do as they have done, then it is
high time that they quit. But that is the very thing they are
not going to do. For there must be some “good pickings
for some one. , 4 ,
No one ever charged Henry Sweet with any neglect of
duty, any inefficiency or any extravagance. Every one said
that he was a good man, had done an outstanding job, and
the facts are that the State Port has money on hand.
But, for some reason, unknown to the public, Henry
Sweet had to go, he “bucked on going”, saying that he had a
contract and intended to stay until the end of the year and
do his work and get his pay, which was at the rate of
sls 000.00 a year. For which we do not blame him.
’ The various people of Savannah went to his rescue and
demanded that Governor Talmadge intervene and see that
Henry Sweet stayed on the job. But he “ducked the issue
and refused to step in. Then the next thing the Ports Author
ity did was to hold a meeting, call Mr. Sweet in and give
him a check for his services in full to the end of the year.
Why was it necessary to pay a “good man” more than
$7000.00 for services that he could and was willing to do,
but which they paid him and told him to go home and stay.
Yes, it is rotten as hell itself.
"ye Editor” Given Sterling Silver Tray By Seniors
We were knocked off of our feet on Monday night when
Miss Carolyn Dußois, representing the Senior Class of 1953
presented Ye Editor with a beautiful sterling silver bread
tray, in appreciation of the things that Ye Editor has done,
to help the Seniors make money so that they could make
their annual class trip. This year they are going to Wash
ington, D. C.. and we are sure that they will have a delight
fUl ^he award was made during the graduation exercises
on Monday night.
We appreciate this gift more than any we have ever
received, and we will always cherish it. It was a pleasure
for us to do what we could in our small way to aid the Seni
ors, or any of the other classes in the school. Not only at
Pembroke, but the one at Black Creek and Richmond Hill
as well as the colored schools of the county.
You are “our” boys and girls, and not simply because
Ye Editor happened to have a son as a member of the Grad
uating Class were we interested, but we will be just as anxi
ous and happy to work with the Graduating Class in the
years ahead.
The following letter was received by Ye Editor which
gives in detail some of the money raised by our efforts. We
print it for the information of those that helped the Seniors
with their advertising in the Pen Book. The letter is as
follows:
X „ * May 25, 1953.
Mr. F. O. Miller 4 <
Pembroke, Georgia - 4
Dear Mr. Miller:
We would like to acknowledge $477.50 which we real
ized from the publication of the Pen Book. We wish to thank
you for your time and effort in helping us to secure adver
tisements and in publishing the paper.
You have been very good to us this year. We give you
credit for approximately $750 of the money added to our
treasury this year. For all you have done we say, “Thank
you.”
Gratefully, *• .

Mrs. W. W. (Margaret) Curl, Has Proven
She "Is All Wool And A Yard Wide"
Not only Ye Editor, but 99% of all of our people realize
that the W. W. Curl family is “tops” when it comes to point
ing out outstanding families. Bill Curl is stationed in Pem
broke and is employed by the State Highway Department.
He is a faithful and valuable employee of the state and one
of the best all round fellows we ever had the pleasure of
of knowing. There are two fine young sons, Trey and James,
and as boys they are among the finest we have in Pembroke.
Now for the part of the family we started out to hand
a “bouquet of red roses,” if possible, Mrs. Margaret Curl,
the Senior Home Room Teacher and much credit goes to her
for the manner in which our Senior Class did their work.
She gave them hours upon hours of her time, in fact in the
closing weeks of the school she worked so hard, until she
came near having a nervous collapse from overwork, but
after a rest and treatment she was back at work.
Mrs. Curl is very active in the affairs of the Pembroke
Baptist Church, being the head of the Women’s Missionary
Unions, and always taking an active part in all the church
programs.
The Curl family have lived here about four years, they
are neighbors to Ye Editor and family at Needmore Farm,
and we probably know them as well or better than any one
else in Pembroke. Truly we can point to every member of
the Curl family with pride, and proudly say that they are
our neighbors and some of the finest people Pembroke and
Bryan County has.

Farm Bureau News
There has been some implica
tions recently that farmers are
possibly getting more than their
share of the national income. Let’s
take a look at that one.
The national net income of agri
culture in 1952 was approximately
sl3 billion. Farmers constitute
about one-sixth of the nation’s
population. The nation net income
last year was about S2BO billion.
If the farmers were entitled to a
proportionate share of the nation
al net income, they would get one
sixth of S2BO billion, which would
be .approximately $47 billion.
What they really got was sl3 bil
lion.
Yet more capital per working
man is required for agriculture
than in any other industry in
America. The farmer is the big
gest buyer in keeping the wheels
of industry rolling. In the old days
the farmer produced his power on
the farm, and produced the feed
to keep that “power” going. He
bought no fertilizer or supple
mental feeds. The cost of running
a farm was negligible.
Today on the farm we find one
or more tractors, the com picker,
the combine, the pickup baler, the
modem drills and planter, and all
types of pulverising and cultivat
ing equipment.
It’s mighty easy to get $15,000
or more invested in equipment
alone. Add to this the eost of a
160 acre farm al SIOO or S2OO per
acre (and some good farm land I
costs more today) and you havel
another twenty to $30,000. Add'
to that a stock of cattle, hogs, and
poultry and you can get another
several thousand dollars invested. |
Add to thjs the current operat
ing expenses with the gasoline ■
trucks filling the farm tanks week-1
ly and going away with the farm-;
er’s check, fertilizer costs, insecti-1
cide, supplementary feed costs, etc.!
Add to this the cost of building
and keeping hundreds of rods of;
fence, the building and keeping in
repair the home, the bam, the tool
shed, the poultry house, etc.
Yes, the farmer is investing I
and doing all this, leaving him '
with an individual Income consid
erably less than one-third the
average income of non-farm peo
ple.
The many friends of Mr j Mug- i
gie Lanier wi|l to learn that
her condition still remains un- ■
changed and that she is still con-!
fined to her lied at her home in I
