Mr. DeLoach said the schedule
change will probably go on until
early spring when the weather is
not so cold. He said schools go
ing into the 9 o’clock starting hour

bus route, some of them having
to change buses before arriving at
school. Last year, Mr. DeLoaeh
said the schedule continued until
around the middle of March. •
Schools starting at 9 o’clock on
Tuesday, January 3, 1961, are
Bryan County High School, Black
Creek Elementary School, Pem

School.

Four Members Are
Hostesses at
Garden Club Party
An enjoyable event of the Pem
broke Christmas calendar was the
1 annual party held Thursday after
noon at the Community House.
Hostesses were Mrs. Alton Elrick,
Mrs. W. R. Deal, Mrs. J. Gordon
. Bacon and Mrs. H. L. Speir, Jr.
The building was beautifully
decorated, the lighted Christmas
tree being the center of interest.
On the mantel was greenery
against a background of three sil
ver sunbursts. Christmas arrange
ments were on the table and at i
other points.
Mrs. U. J. Bacon and Mrs. Perry
Parrish won prizes in the games
led by Mrs. Alton Elrick. The
door prize was won by Mrs. N. L.
Ham.
Favors were miniature candles
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
in wax holders which were lighted
as the delicious party refresh
ments were served. Numbers
written underneath the candle
holders decided how the gifts from
the Christmas tree would be dis
tributed. During the entire party
Christmas carols were played by
a record player.
The open fire in the huge rustic
fireplace gave an air of unusual
festivity to the party. Enjoying
the afternoon were Mrs. Alton
Elrick, Garden Club president,
Mrs. H. L. Speir, Jr., Mrs. ML R.
Deal, Mrs. J. Gordon Bacon, Miss
Anne Parrish, Mrs. Perry Parrish,

Authorities to
Enforce Law on
Fireworks
Bryan County Sheriff Kyle D.
I Smith and Mayor Frank O. Miller
I have announced that county and
I city authorities have been ordered
I to bear down on violations of the
fireworks law.
Sheriff Smith said that it is a
violation of the state and county
laws to sell fireworks or to have
any on the person except for cer
tain specific reasons. Mayor Mil
ler concurs that the same holds
true for the City of Pembroke.
The fireworks law is being en
forced for the protection of life
and limb of individuals. Every
year around Christmas several
people over the stale are injured,
some crippled for life, because of
fire crackers or other kinds of
fireworks. Protection of life is
an important part of the work of
officers and one that Bryan and
City authorities take seriously.
The cooperation of parents,
young people ami the public in
general is requested in the control
of this dangerous practice. Obey
the law now so that there will be
no regrets later.

1960 Children's
Picture Series
Completed
With the publication of the three
, pictures this week, the 1960 “Citi
। zens of Tomorrow” feature is com
, pleted. Children’s pictures taken
' last year at Pembroke Hotel have
been released periodically during
the year for the enjoyment of their
' friends and relatives.
New pictures were taken recent
ly sponsored by The Pembroke
Journal at no expense to the par
ents. Proofs will be returned in
a few weeks and parents will be
notified so that they might come
to the hotel and select the picture
that they want to be in the paper.
They will also have an opportunity
of buying pictures if they so de
sire. However, there is no obliga
tion to do so.
Some 64 families were repre
sented the day the photographer
was at the hotel, with about 100
children being photographed.
Three sets of twins, accompanied
by mother and grandmother or
friends, were photographed. The
photographer began work before
the 10 o’clock starting hour and
ended far past his ordinary 5
o’clock deadline. It was much near- ।
er seven o’clock than five when
he finally folded up his camera.
The new series of children’s pic
tures will begin as soon as the
engravings are received from
Woltz Studio. This will be a few
weeks after the proofs are shown
and selected.
After they arrive if parents
wish their children’s pictures put
in the paper at any particular
time, an effort will be made to
comply if the information is re
ceived soon enough at the Pem
broke Journal office.
