City Recreation
Program Enjoyed
By Boys, Girls
Friday, June 13, ended the first
full week of recreation in the Bry
an County High School gymnas
ium and playground, according to
E. O. Bacon, playground director,
and the grand total attendance
pushed past the 200 mark for the
five days.
Un Friday, as on every Friday .
from now until the end of the sum
mer, a tournament was held in
various activities. Early in the af
ternoon the horseshoe elimination
took place, with Joseph Starling
taking first place honors and
Danny Warnell as runner-up in the
eleven and under age group. In
the second age group, which con
sists of boys twelve through four
teen, Ernest Hamilton was the
winner and just behind was Dean
Benton. Both of these players are
good but this was considered an
upset due to the fact that during
the week James Cowart and Noel
Osteen had the best won-lost rec
ords.
One of the favorite games is
table tennis. Everyone seems to
have their heart set on this type
game. Several of the older boys
are trying to develop their skill
along this line and strong com
petition should develop when Andy
Edwards, Noel Osteen, Marion
Hope, and Virgene Dußois get a
few more lessons and practice ses
sions.
Sidney Bradley was first and
Everett Cowart was second in a
tournament of table tennis held
by the boys in the up to eleven
age group. Noel Osteen won first
place easily and James Cowart was
a strong second in the twelve
through fourteen age group. „
In another new and interesting
game called shuffleboard, Larry
Racon had little difficulty taking
over first place and little Donald
Hodges took second in a contest
held by boys through the age of
eleven.
On Friday afternoon of this
week there will be another tourna
ment in the various activities and
it is hoped a large group will be
present, as competition begets in
terest in each field. Each Friday
afternoon refreshments will be
served to those present.
Last Thursday night the Pem
broke Recreation softball team
journeyed over to Claxton but was
defeated eight to nothing by a
team that was larger in size and
ahead in experience. The home
team managed only six hits but
only one strike-out was registered
against them. Bobby Cowart hit
a home run with one on, but was
called out as a result of not tag
ging second base, or any other, for
that matter. This was the third
out and eliminated the only scor
ing threat. Ernest Hamilton led
the Pembroke hitting with two
singles, being the only player get
ting more than one rap. In spite
of the loss, every player enjoyed
the game thoroughly and every
boy that took the trip got to play
which amounted to a total of
fifteen players.
There is a dire need of more
boys for the team, especially those
thirteen and fourteen. Any help
along this line would be appreci
ated and those interested are urg
ed to come out each Thursday night
at 7:30 to practice. Claxton was
the home opener this week and al
ready two or three players have
been added to the roster and it
is hoped that number will increase
before playing time.
Friday night at 8 o’clock the
boys are to meet in front of the
gymnasium at which time they
will hike out to the end of the rock
road beginning with Camellia
Drive. Upon arrival at destina
tion a bon fire will be lighted and
all will enjoy a weiner roast. They
will be back in Pembroke by 10
o’clock. The boys are asked to
take their own weiners. Bread,
mustard, catsup, sauerkraut and
cold drinks will be furnished. All
boys, all ages, are invited to at
tend.

Hussey Tells
About Seniors
Washington Trip
On June 1 the graduating class
of Bryan County High School, ac
companied by Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Hurrey as chaperones, left on their
annual class ti ip. They left Pem
broke early Monday morning,
travelling by Trailway bus. In
Rockingham, North Carolina, they
were joined by Mrs. Hazel Shep
herd, the director of the Carpen
ter Tours. The first night was
spent at Hotel Richmond in Rich
mond, Virginia.
Early the following morning the
group toured Richmond, seeing
many of the points of interest
there, the most outstanding being
Old Christ Church, where Patrick
Henry, great American patriot de
livered his famous “Give Me Lib
erty or Give Me Death” speech.
After the Richmond tour, the
group viisted Williamsburg, the
famous pre-revolutionary town re
cently restored by the Rockefellow
Foundation. Here the young people
saw the House of Burgesses, the
Governor’s and grounds, the old
stockade and the Powder Maga
zine, where the revolutionary fire
arms were exhibited. One of the
antiques was fired by one of the
guides to demonstrate to the group
the method of loading and shoot
ing these ancient guns. All of the
guides in Williamsburg were
dressed in colonial costume to keep
the revolutionary atmosphere of
historic Williamsburg.
In the late afternoon the group
went to Old Point Comfort, Vir
ginia, just outside Norfolk, where
they boarded an overnight steam
er. Each was assigned a state
room and dinner was served on the
boat. This was a thrilling experi
ence, spending the night on a
steamer. After dinner that night,
the seniors enjoyed singing on the
deck of the ship and afterwards
a dance was held in the state din
ing room. The boat sailed out into
the Chesapeake Bay and on up the
Potomac river, arriving in Wash
ington early Wednesday morning.
The tour of Washington began
following breakfast. The Bureau
of Printing and Engraving proved
to be very interesting. Here the
seniors watched as millions of dol
lars were being made. All paper
money, as well as war bonds and
stamps, is printed here. On ex
hibit in the building was a SIOO,-
000 bill. After the Bureau the
group visited Washington Monu
ment, Lincoln Memorial and Jeff
erson Memorial. A tour through
the White House gave the seniors
an opportunity to see the renova
tions on the building as authorized
by President Truman. After lunch
the Capitol Hill tour completed the
afternoon’s agenda. Here an ex
tensive trip through the capitol
building was conducted by a guide.
Both of the houses were in session
and the group was admitted to
the spectator’s gallery. Out of
438 members of the House of Rep
resentatives, less than 15 congress
men were present at the session
and the young people wondered
whore these high-salaried men
were who were supposed to be
representnig the various states in
our national assembly. After visit
ing the Congressional Library and
the United States Supreme Court,
the seniors visited the Folger
Shakespearean Library, the second
largest in the world, where they
saw an exact reproduction of the
Globe Theater, the first folio print
ed in 1623, and many of Shake
speare’s personal belongings. The
group then had their picture made
on the lawn of the Capitol, using
the building as a background.
After dinner that night our seni
ors enjoyed themselves at Glen
Echo Amusement Park in Mary
land. They rode out Massachu
setts Avenue, known as Embassy
Row, where they saw the homes
of the foregin ambassadors to the
United States.
The following morning the group
rode out to Mount Vernon, Vir
ginia, the historic home of George
Washington. There the home was
in the exact state as when the first
president lived there. After spend
ing some time here, seeing Wash
ington’s tomb, the old boat house,
and Martha Washington’s beauti
ful flower garden, the seniors left
for Arlington National Cemetery,
where they arrived in time to see
the changing of the guard at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
After lunch Smithsonian Institute
and the Medical building filled the
entire afternoon. Tn Smithsonian,
the group was fascinated by the
Spirit of St. Ixiuis, the actual plane
in which Lindberg flew the Atlan
tic in 1927. Also the inaugural
dresses worn by every president’s
wife on an exact plastic figure of
the woman, the famous Hope dia
mond, and waxed figures of for
eign peoples in their native cos
tumes afforded much enjoyment to
each one.
After examining some of the
larger department stores and rid
ing the escalators, the seniors en
joyed a stage show at Lowes Cap
itol Theater. The group left Wash
ington early Friday morning, ar
riving in Pembroke about mid
night. All of the seniors were
footsore and weary, tired beyond
believing, but this trip was very
worthwhile and a wonderful edu
cational experience. Each student
saw many things on the trip that
he will remember as long as he
lives. I would like to take this op
portunity to express my personal
gratitude to every one who helped
make this trip possible for these
boys and girls.

And Deputies Are
After Stills
Since taking office in January
Sheriff Kyle D. Smith and his
force of Deputies have been hot on
the trail of “moonshiners” and as
a result has torn up 34 stills and
captured much of the illicit liquor,
as well as five automobiles.
They have caught four stills in
the past few days. Two of them
were of Pembroke in and near the
Camp Stewart reservation. In one
of these raids Sheriff Smith and
Deputy Carlos Lane were the of
ficers, in another one Sheriff
Smith and Deputies L. R. Lanier
and R. I. Raulerson were the offi
cers. On Wednesday Deputies R.
I. Raulerson and Arte Davis cap
tured a big still in the 20th Dis
trict in the Port Royal section, get
ting 33 gallons of liquor, two au
tomobiles, a Dodge and a Chry
sler and arrested two Savannah
negroes at the still, they gave
the names of Arthur Brown, 45
years old and his address as 661
E. Duffy Savannah, the other ne
gro gave the name of Clyde Mar
tin, 26 years old and his address
as Route 6, Savannah.
One of the most active and valu
able Deputies the sheriff has is
Deputy Raulerson, who first came
to notice with the nick name of
Cadillac Kid, due to the fact that
he drove a Cadillac car. But he
has not been as active on the high
way as some thought he would,
and has been very active with the
Sheriff in his war on moonshiners,
and it is said that he is the “fast
est thing on two feet.” We were
told by the Sheriff that Deputy
Raulerson had run down and cap
tured several of those that took
“leg bail,” or attempted to do so.
The sheriff and his deputies are
being congratulated on the man
ner in which they are attending to
the affairs of their office, and
many that expected things to be
otherwise, are more or less dis
mayed.
The Journal joins m.any other’s
in congratulating Sheriff Smith
and his entire force of deputies on
the way they have conducted them
selves since taking office in Jan
uary.
