A THRILL AND DELIGHT FOR YE EDlTOß—Sunday aft
ernoon, after a wonderful church, we had a large portion
of our family home with us, including our son-in-law, Billy
Lee, who was home from Anchorage, Alaska, for a day or
so, when the telephone rang and it was our daughter, Ruth,
calling home from Anchorage, Alaska, more than six thou
sand miles away, we all talked to her and some of us talked
the second time. Truly this was a thrill and delight to talk
to our daughter, who was so far away, but thanks to the
telephone, seemed as if only across town. She called at 6
o’clock, Pembroke time, and told us that it was 1 o’clock
there and that she had just gotten home from church. We
were delighted to learn that little Frank, our grand son has
two upper and two lower teeth, which happens to be four
more than his grand daddy has. Yes, it was a happy climax
to a very delightful day.

LOOKS FORWARD TO RETURNING TO PEMBROKE—
While discussing our family, we are sure that Ye Edi
tor’s son-in-laws friends will be pleased that he plans on re
turning to Pembroke when he is discharged from the Air
Force in August of next year. He says that he has been all
over the world, but that he has yet to find a place that com
pares with Pembroke to him for a home for himself and fam
ily. II realizes that he will not make the big money that he
is now making, but says that money is not everything in the
world, although mighty handy at all times, still he thinks he
can make the grade here at home with those he loves and
who love him. Certainly pleases Ye Editors to say the least.
36 YEARS WITH THE BEST—On Wednesday, May 4th Ye
Editor celebrated his 36th wedding anniversary to the
finest little woman that any one could have. Yes, we know
that we must have gotten the best little woman as a wife in
the whole wide world. If she had not have been she would
have put Ye Editor to flight years and years ago. Not only
is she a good wife, but one of the best mothers in all the
world, and now one of the best grandmothers any “yungun”
ever had. We know that all men should think they have the
best and finest wife in the world, but the difference with us
is that we do not think it, but we know it. Yes, she is de
serving of a crown of glory in the “other world” for having
gone down life's highway wi^i Ye Editor foi. these last 36
years.
“MOTHER”—THE WORD THAT MEANS EVERYTHING
—Sunday, May Sth, is Mother’s Day. A day that all of
us, big, little, old and young should stop and reflect. If your
mother is living, do something to show her how much you
care for her, make her know that all of her tears and labors
have not been wasted. If she has gone on ahead, stop and
say a silent prayer and ask God to forgive you of the short
comings during her life time, and for the many things that
you have done in the past that made Mother weep and worry.
On Sunday Ye Editor will do just that for we know that so
many times we caused her anguish, pain and heart aches
when it was not necessary, but we always found her “on our
side” in each and every little difficulty we encountered. Oth
ers did not understand, but Mother always could see the
bright side and we know that she is resting on yonder shore,
awaiting her loved ones. Yes, she was one of the world’s
best.

AT ELECTRIC CO-OPS
20th BIRTHDAY RALLY
Reidsville, Ga. May 2, 1955:
Speaker Sam Rayburn, U. S.
House of Representatives, will ad
dress the mammoth 20th Anniver
sary Celebration of the Rural Elec
trification Program, in Atlanta,
on May 11th, according to D. L.
Durrence, president, Canoochee
Electric Membership Corporation.
An audience of at least 1,200 is
expected from all parts pf Geor
giagia.
In addition to Rayburn’s speech,
the civic and farm leaders present
will hear “Voice From the Past,”
including that of the late Presi
dent, Franklin D. Roosevelt—
whose signature of an Eexecutive
Order on May 11, 1935 made pos
sible the start of the electrifica
tion of rural Georgia and the na
tion. The event will be held at
the Atlanta Division, University
of Georgia.
Governor Marvin Griffin has of
ficially proclaimed May 3 to 14th
as “Rural Electrification Week,”
and will be on hand with many
other state and federal officials to
greet Georgia’s distinguished vis
itor, said W. L. RieUey. of the
local co-op. He noted that Speak
er Rayburn is the only living spon
sor of the Rural Electrification
Act.
First District Congressman,
Prince H. Preston, who will intro

ting that this distinguished Amer
ican should join with the people of
Georgia in celebrating this anni
versary. Rural Electrification is a
monument to the American way ot
life. In just twenty short years,
cooperation among farmers has
brought the blessings of low-cost
electric power to more than 929!
of the possible rural consumers of
Georgia.”
A full program of entertain
ment, music and a fine dinner has
been planned by the rural electric
co-ops of Georgia for all who come
to Atlanta to hear Speaker Ray
burn. Richey asks that any inter
ested in joining their neighbors
at this celebration contact him

transportation can be arranged in
advance. He promises all a fine
evening of fellowshing and enter
tainment

What’s all this talk
about “Price Class! ”
It gets to be a little confusing—this talk about what
“price class”, a car is in. This new Dodge is making a
clean sweep in every price field!
Owners who are used to paying a thousand dollars more
for a car find that money can’t buy more luxury, more
exciting features and beauty than in the dashing Custom
Royal Lancer shown above. It’s up to 9 inches longer
than competitive models costing .more!
And owners of so-called “low-priced cars” are finding
that a new Dodge, with all its dashing length and flashing
style, can be theirs for only a few dollars a month more
than any of the small cars—up to 19 inches shorter and
far less exciting!

LAKE HAAR OFFERED
AS PICNIC SITE
BY OWNERS
Lake Haar is being offered as
a recreation spot to Bryan County
youth groups, churches and fam
ilies through the generosity of
Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Burpitt, Ella
belle, owners of the property.
The beautiful lake, situated on
a picturesque wooded hillside, was
developed by the Savannah Boat
Club and was recently dedicated
in honor the the late Ernest J.
Haar of Savannah.
The Savannah club has reserv
ed the use of the lake on Wednes
days and Sundays, but at other
times Mr. and Mrs. Burpitt are
inviting Bryan County groups to
plan their picnics and outings at
the site. Mrs. Burpitt advised that
it might be well for those wish
ing to use the spot to contact
her first, so that too many people
might not choose the same time.
At the present, Mrs. Burpitt
said there are no boats for rent,
but plans are being made for boats
in the near future.
The people of Bryan County
appreciate the thoughtful gesture
made by Mr. and Mrs. Burpitt and
no doubt many clubs, groups and
families will take advantage of
the offer.

costs less than some models in the lowest price class.
So let yourself go. Travel first class in the car that’s
