We are expendable. Last week
advertising, important news and
editorials proved that fact if we
had any doubt about it, which we
didn’t. Advertising is bread and
meat for the Fourth Estate and
I bow before these gods any day.
Round About has been adjusted
to take care of the situation as
what we were clever about last
week would make us less than'
clever this week. And I realixe
that I leave myself an d
Round About wide open with that
one.
It isn’t too late to wonder how
many people re-read the Book of
Ruth in the Bible after seeing the
picture which was shown recent
ly in Pembroke. And then one
might also consider if there were
those whose interest and curiosity j
were aroused enough to read it i
for the first time.
At least I was in the re-read:
group and noticed that on sen
tence in the Bible could be inter
preted so as to occupy an entire
sequence of the picture.
Mrs. Wilma DeLoach has sent
me what she said her mother,
Mrs. J. P. English, calls a dish
cloth gourd. And sure enough, 1
am using the inside of the gourd
for light scrubbing of dishes.
The gourd itself is slender,
elongated and a mottled brown
color. Inside it is a sort of tough,
plastic-like fiber which, when wet,
becomes soft and pliable. It is
rough and scratchy in an unof
fensive way, and adapts itself well
to kitchen use. So as not to use
it up to quickly, 1 cut off portions
which can be reused many times
since it washes well. Before send
ing it to me Mrs. DeLoach boil

Echo I is having a return per
formance. For the past few weeks
it has been out of sight because
its orbit has been in the earth’s
shadow. Last Sunday it appear
ed again with its aluminum skin
slightly wrinkled. This state,
however, is hardly noticeable to
its earth viewers. Echo is expect
ed to spiral to destruction in the
earth’s atmosphere in about a
year.
The above certainly did not ori
ginate from my own store of
knowledge. I read it.
To those who have expressed
concern that the Pembroke Jour-j
; nal mailing list is 86, 1 hasten to j
say that gremlins were at work
there and we are pleased that our
| weekly effort is read so closely,
even though errors in context or
type are usually the only thing
i we hear about. This was an error
i in type that was not corrected
and the Journal reaches nigh on
to a thousand people as you and
the Post Office Department are
informed this week.
- Our maid of some work has
finally returned to the domicile
she deserted when she took her
cotton-picking hands to the wide
open spaces to do just that. When
, the first leaf of the tobacco field
। reached the right texture and the
, pungency of the aromatic plant
. was in the air, her nose began
• wiggling like a bird dog’s and I
■ knew we would come out second-
I best in the battle.
• After the tobacco stalks were
i stripped and left bare and the
i toil of sledding, stringing, hang
ing and cooking was done, our
Alice moved almost without realiz
, ing it into the cotton fields where
she rid the brittle brown stalks
of its white fluff. And it was
not until she had emptied every
clutching bole which had spraddled
open like a tightly-closed fist to
release its treasure that she called
her work done.
It was not until then that she
returned to her white folks and
we discovered our dining room
table again.
“I done ironed 22 shirts,’’ she an
nounced the first day, neglecting
to mention that most of them
needed attention with needle and
thread.
So we are set for the winter. )
But come summer and our Alice i
will be off again with her cotton- i
picking hands.

Burned Man Is
Improving in
Augusta Hospital
Billy Mock, husband of the
former Miss Fay Griffin, is im
proving from burns received in a
filling station explosion but is still
in a critical condition.
The young man is in Talmadge
; Memorial Hospital in Augusta, be
ing moved there from Bainbridge
where he was confined until able
to be transferred.
Mr. Mock answeresd the call for
volunteer firemen when the Ser
vice Station blazed and was caught
with another young man in the
explosion. The other youth died
a few days afterwards.
Doctors say that one factor in
Mr. Mock’s improvement, though
slow, is his tremendous will power.
His face and part of his body are
now free from bandages.
Many prayers have been said
for the courageous young man and
friends of the young couple and
of Mr. and Mrs. Nugent Griffin
hope his improvement will soon be
more rapid.

Cards of Thanks

to the many Bryan County people
and those of neighboring com

flowers, visits, cards, gifts, and
prayers helped to shorten the long
days in the hospital when she was
away from home and family.
We want each person to know

feel that God will give them a
special blessing for their kindness.
