We spent Sunday with Grand
pa and Grandma. Usually we
go to Worth County for the week
end, but the Younger Son’s job
with the theater puts the quietus
on the weekend visiting. Then,
too, we thought perhaps other
of the brothers and sisters and
their families might go “home”
which would create a sleeping
problem.
They did. The problem was
there mid solved happily as it al
ways is.
The Madders clan, of which the
Papa of my Sons is the oldest,
gathered quite by accident to bid
farewell to a brother in the. Army
en route to Okinawa.
We left home early Sunday
morning, had breakfast on the
way and got to Grandpa’s house
at 9:30. .
They had started gathering then.
We were greeted by the soldier
brother and his wife, and a sister,
her husband and son. The blind
husband is a remarkable indivi
dual whom I admire very much.
He is repairing the. organ I bought
from Grandma for SIO.OO. She
and Grandpa started housekeeping
with it. The abuse heaped on it
down through the years by so
many children and grandchildren
will take time and money to erase.
Our Sons scattered immediately.

The Younger Son to the nearby
home of a cousin his own age.
The Elder to an older cousin’s
house whose mother is his father’s
sister. The couple’s married son,
wife and baby were at home from
Florida. The son’s wife is an
only child from California. She
is of German descent. Also home
' from Florida was the bride-daugh
ter of the sister and her groom.
From up the lane in the other
direction, the youngest son of
the clan, his wife, three daughters
and son came. Another of Grand
( pa’s sons, his wife and two chil
dren had no intention of being
left out. They all came to the
Big House and sat in the bedroom.
Chairs gave out and we sat on
. the two beds made high with their
. feather mattresses. We drew
amiable frowns from Grandma
, who did not take kindly to having
. her feather beds “mussed.”
, Not long in coming from Ameri
| cus were the youngest of the fam
. ily, her husband and threw chil
dren. Last to arrive was a daugh
; ter from Bloody Nights and five
> children. I can never get their
. names straight and they laughed
at me when I would count them
, off on my fingers. They will move
। soon to Omega.
Sitting quietly and proudly was
Grandpa. Grandpa’s father could
jump up and click his feet to
gether three times when he was
76 years old. His son’s feet were
still but his heart and pride were
clicking plenty. His children would
soon be scattered again. From
Omega to Okinawa and he wanted
to make the day last as long as he
could.
Late in the afternoon Aunt Ida,
her daughter and another lady
came by to visit. More of us
climbed on the beds or backed our
chairs farther into the hall. Aunt
Ida is Grandma’s sister who
doesn’t hold with modern folderol.
Everybody wondered what
changes would be made in the
three years before Lloyd would
come home from Okinawa.
Entering happily into the fun
and talk was Nancy, the hand
some young mother from Califor
nia. An only child.
i It was after six before we final
ly got off and near ten when we
got home.

THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
CHILDREN'S PICTURES TAKEN
FREE AND PUBLISHED |
IN THE JOURNAL
It is an undisputed fact that the responsibilities of
tomorrow’s world, our Nation, and Community will rest,
upon the shoulders of the children of today. Since this is
true, the publishers of this newspaper would like to give
you a good look at these future “World Builders.”
The only way we can do this is by publishing pictures of them
in a feature series. To assure the latest and best reproduction pic
tures . . . they must all be of uniform size and quality.
An expert children's photograp- —
ers with all the necessary equip-:,
ment for this specialized work, '
will be here on Monday, November ।
28. Pictures will be taken at The j।
Tindol Hotel and will be open i
from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. or
later if necessary.
No Charge to Parents
There is no charge to the par
ents. There are absolutely no .
strings to this invitation. It is |
bonafide in every sense of the.
word. Parents do not have to be 1
subscribers, nor even readers of:
this newspaper to take advantage
of this feature. Neither are they
obligated to purchase pictures |
after they are taken. Those who
want some additional prints may
obtain a limited number by ar
rangement with the Studio repre
sentative when they select the pose
they want printed in the paper.
It is entirely up to them.
The More Pictures, the Better
The Pembroke Journal simply
i wants pictures of all the young
-1 sters and the more, the better.
So the Mothers and Fathers of
! the community in which this paper
। circulates should remember the '
date, Monday, November 28, at
I the Tindol Hotel and not fail to I
bring their children to the photo- I
grapher.
You will be mighty glad, after
wards, if you did. and very, very
sorry if you do not permit your
children to participate in this;
event. The kiddies will have much
fun and both Mother and Dad —
and the youngsters, too — will be
very proud to see their pictures
in print later.
Appointments may be made by
calling Mrs. Elizabeth Medders at
3-3201 in the day time and 3-3121 i
after 6 o’clock.
APPRECIATION OF THE VOTE
GIVEN ME FOR SHERIFF NOV. 8
I would be derelict in my duties were I not to issue a card of
thanks to the voters of Bryan County for the fine vote given me
in the General Election last Tuesday, November Bth, for Sheriff
of Bryan County.
The fact that I was to be opposed by an Independtnt Write-
In Candiate was a secret until just a few days before the election,
and with the Superior Court on hand, I had very little time to see
the voters, however they responded magnificently, and in the
days ahead I hope to see each and every one personally and thank
them. In the meantime take this as my sincere thanks for the fine
vote.
To the colored people who voted me so strong I also wish to
say thank you. I have always tried to be fair to all the people and
especially appreciate the way the colored people of Bryan County
feel towards their Sheriff.
We all know that a small minority are the ones resonsible for
all of this, most of us know who they are, and they are just polit
ical sore heads, and the fact that just a few are after me at all
times, does not cause me any worry. It is the fact that the great
majority have demonstrated many times that they are my friends,
all of which I am truly grateful.
Sincerely
Kyle D. Smith
