DEMOCRATS ELECT PRESIDENT
At an early hour Wednesday
morning it was sure that the
United States had elected Senator
John F. Kennedy and Lyndon
Johnson as their President and
Vice-President. At 3:30 Vice-
President faced the nation and ad
mitted that he had been beaten.
It appears that the Democrats
have carried Georgia, South Caro
lina. North Carolina, Alabama,
Louisiana, Texas, N..e w York,
Massachusetts and many other
states.
Nixon carried Florida, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Ohio and other states.
The State of Georgia remain
ed true to its party, going for the
Democrats by a big majority, al
though many counties went Re
publican, as did our neighboring
county of Chatham.
The election in Bryan was a big
one, and we are proud of the fact
Bryan has shown the world it is
Democratic, and that it also stands
by its nominees. The effort of
The Better Government League of
Bryan County, (whoever they are),
to unseat Bryan’s Sheriff, Kyle
I). Smith was a poor failure.
Redskins Open
Season with
Two Victories
Bryan County slashed out at
Collins Tuesday night in the first
game of the season for both
teams. In impressive fashion the
Pembroke boys and girls cut down
their opponents in what fans hope,
is an omen of future games.
The final score was 37 to 22,
with Roddy Lane tops at 11 points.
The visitors held the lead for
only a short time at the begin
ning of the game.
At the half-time mark the win-1
ners had an 18-13 lead and doubt
as to the outcome was dispelled.'
Beth Griffin's 27 points paced [
the Bryan girls to a 41 to 21 win !
in the preliminary. At interims-1
sion Bryan was in front 20 to 12.1
Both teams pleased their fans. I
The boy’s team is generously dot-!
ted with new faces but hard prac
tice has set the pace and the re-1
suit of Tuesday night’s perfor-1
mance justified the means.
Charles Harris is coach for the
boys and Robert Bowers is girl’s
coach.
Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Anderson [
have returned home after spend- i
ing a few days in Jacksonville,;
Florida, with Mr. and Mrs. C. H.
Hili and sons. The family moved |
lo Jacksonville several months ago
from Pembroke. ।
Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Anderson [
and Herbert spent the weekend in
Jacksonville, Florida, with Mr. and
Mrs. Merriell Durrence. Mrs. Dur- ,
rence is the former Miss Elizabeth 1
Anderson of Pembroke.
!t Could Be You
This quiet, unassuming lady has [
lived in Pembroke all her life (I i
think). Anyway, she is one of a.
large family and their mama lives j
just outside the city on west side.l
There’s one thing certain, if she ।
ever moves it won’t be to the ‘
mountains because she wants noth- ;
ing to do with those narrow, hair
pin-curve roads of north Georgia.
How does she know* about them.
if she’s south Georgia born and
bred?
Why, naturally, by going along .
either to carry or fetch the couple’s j
son who is attending college far,
far up in the mountains. Inci
dentally, this lady is mighty proud
of her son, as only child, who,
before he graduated from high
school was a licensed preacher.
Her husband works for the state
in an out-door capacity and the
family of three is Methodist.
If this lady will call HELEN’S
BEAUTY SHOP, 3-2171, and iden
tify herself, an appointment will
be made for a complimentary
shampoo and set.
