THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
Clarence Hobbs
Is Commended for
Safety Record
Several weeks ago there appear
ed in another paper an article con
cerning the safety record of Clar
ence V. Hobbs, son of Mrs. V. V.
Hobbs of Richmond Hill.
According to the article Clar
ence, a civilian warehouse super
visor in the Fort Stewart Hospi
tal’s medical supply section, holds
a ten year record for safety on
the job. Furthermore, in that
period not one of his men has
lost a day’s work due to injury.
This commendable record is due
to the fact that Mr. Hobbs care
fully plans the work of his men
and conducts safety training on
the job.
Solve Christmas
Gift Problem by
Giving Journal
Orders are now being taken for ’
the Pembroke Journal to be sent i
as Christmas gifts to members of i
the family and friends. The easiest
way in the world to settle the ।
Christmas gift problem and one of i
the best is to give the home-town i
paper.
There are few other gifts that
can remind the recipient of the j
donor each week during the year ,
in such a pleasant manner. Bryan
countians who have moved away
are eager to get news of their
home-town and of home town peo
ple. In this day of hurry and
bustle not many relatives or '
friends take time to sit down and
write a long letter outlining the
interesting events that have oc- 1
curred.
In the Pembroke Journal they
will be told of happenings, little
and big, that they would other
wise not know. They will be kept
abreast of schools, politics, social
affairs, new babies, buildings, and ,
other things dear to the heart of
anyone away from home.
Especially appreciative of the
paper are students away at school
and young men and women away |
in service.
The Journal staff will take a
subscription at any time with the
notation of when to send the at
tractive gift certificate advising
the recipient of the generous
Christmas gift gesture. The paper
will be started immediately, held
until the Christmas issue or any
other designated time.
Why not pick up your telephone,
drop a notice in the mail or come
by and make arrangements for
your gifts and let your mind be
free to enjoy the approaching holi
days.

FARMERS LOOK AT 1961
Bryan County farmers take a
look at 1961. They find them
selves fewer in number with only
210 farms at present compared
to 404 in 1954, according to the
1959 preliminary census report.
This does not mean that 194 farms
families have left the county.
Some of the reduction in number
of farms is due to a change in
the definition used in tabulating
the 1959 census, relative to number
of farms. However, it points out
a trend toward not only fewer
farms in Bryan County, but
throughout the state and nation.
It shows that approximately 50
per cent of the 210 farms are
operating on a part-time basis,
with other income of the family
exceeding value of farm pro
ducts sold.
Farmers are concerned about
further declining prices for pro
ducts sold off the farm and high
er prices paid for supplies and
machinery needed to continue
operating the farm.
Some of the farmers are shift
ing from row crops to small grain
and soy beans which can be pro
duced with less expense. How
ever, the gross income is less, mak
ing this practice unsuitable for
small farmers.
The outlook for forest products
is still in good demand. Naval
stores prices are good and accord
ing to supplies, with only a fair
increase in production expected so
prices should remain favorable. -
Cattle and hogs have brought
profitable returns to the efficient
growers and the outlook for next
year is about the same as 1960,
with probably declining prices on
cattle and seasonal ups and downs
! on hogs.
Bryan County tobacco growers
produced a near-record yield in
1960, with 417,000 pounds. The
tobacco supply situation is in the
best shape it has been for several
years, which indicates strong do
mestic demand for next year.
Other details on outlook have
not been completed but will be
available soon.
Children Enjoy
Having Pictures
Taken Monday
Children’s pictures were taken
Monday at the Pembroke Hotel in
the arrangement made again this
year between The Pembroke Jour
nal and Woltz Studio from Des
Moines.
The project has always been
very successful, but Monday prob
ably was the biggest day of the
series.
The photographer, a personable
young man with an unpronounce
able name because he is of Czecho-
Slavakian parentage, was the same
who was here last year. Al
though strictly business, he had
away with the youngsters that
put them at ease. There were
only a few whose likeness he took
with wide open mouth and stream
ing eyes.
From 10 o’clock a.m. until 7
p.m. Mr. Photographer snapped
pictures one after the other. His
scheduled time was 10 to 5.
Sixty-three smart and far-sight
ed mothers or fathers, with some
100 children in all, took advantage
of the opportunity to have their
children’s pictures made absolutely
free. Parents who made appoint
ments before Monday had an
easier time as they did not have
to wait as long as those who just
happened by.
Fifteen kindergarten and Ist
grade cherubs from Richmond
Hill came by appointment, ar
rangements being made by Mrs.
June Baylor, Journal editor from
Richmond Hill. She was assisted
in bringing them by Mrs. John
Milono and Mrs. Phillip Hicks, who
has a play school at Richmond
Hill.
Grandmothers came along with
many of the children and mothers.
And with the three sets of twins
extra help was commandeered.
The pictures will be run in the
Pembroke Journal as soon as the
engravings are received which will
probably be several weeks.
R. H. YOUTH IS

BOILING WATER
Danny Ellison, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Dan Ellison, was badly burn

ing his grandmother. Danny ac
cidently spilled some boiling water
over his legs and hips and was
hospitalized in Candler Hospital.
Although Danny has improved
rapidly he is still unable to at
tend school. Danny’s father is
manager at the Fish Hatchery
here in Richmond Hill.
