RH Eastern Star
Has Annual Supper
And Installation
The Order of the Eastern Star
here in Richmond if ill has had a
busy pre-Christmas Season. In
fact, the members of the O.E.S.
have found their Christmas rush
a bit unusual.
On December 10 members pre
pared and served a dinner for the
Masons at the Hinesville Lodge.
During this annual supper and
installation the ladies served some
120 members and their families.
A week later they gave a repeat
performance on a smaller scale
when they served 35 at the Bryan I
Lodge.
On December 14, the members
enjoyed their own services when :
they had a chapter birthday party.
During the evening charter mem .
bers and past matrons and patrons ।
were honored.
A full and busy schedule was
completed by a Christmas party
held on December 28. After the
meeting gifts were exchanged
while members enjoyed refresh
ments.
RHHS 11th Grade

Homecoming Dance
Candlelight and Christmas music
was the order of the eevning Fri
day night, December 23 at the
Richmond Hill High School gym.
The Junior Class at the school pre
sented a Home-Coming Christmas
Dance in honor of the graduates
who were home for the holidays.
The semi-formal affair began at
8 o’clock and those attending ad
mired the lovely decorations in
spired by the Christmas season.
Snowflakes glittered throughout
the gym and the soft glow of
candlelight added to the beauty
of the holly and cedar decorations.
Adding to everyones enjoyment
was a local combo from Savannah,
the Velvetones, who furnished the
dance music throughout the even
ing. Three young seventh grade
girls who served the guests dur
ing the dance were Debra Arnbal,
Martha Cary and Marian Findley.
Jr. Garden Club
Entertains at Mrs.
Milono's Home
The Richmond Hill Junior Gar
den Club held its first Christmas
Tea at. the home of Mrs. John
Milono on Wednesday, December
21st. Mothers of the girls were
guests of honor for the evening.

Wildcats Are Prey
For Powerful
Benedictine Team
The one sad note to dampen our
holiday spirits was the loss the
Wildcats suffered in their game
of the tournament. On Tuesday
night, December 20, the team ran
up against the powerful Bene
dictine team and literally ran up
against a stone wall. The Wild
cats were not only outplayed but
outweighed as well.
Being about the smallest high
school (if not the smallest) to
floor a basketball team, it is an
honor to be considered enough a
threat to be invited to such a
tournament. The community is
proud of the boys and the effort
they made.
Two of the players are wearing
battle scars. Boyce Davis and
Gregg Parker both received minor
injuries during the game. From
all reports they are doing nicely.

Mrs. Warnell Will
Head Bryan Heart
Fund Drive for Z 6l
Mrs. Charles F. Warnell, Pern- [
। i broke housewife and civic leader, <
i' has been named chairman for the
‘ 1961 Heart Fund campaign in
' I Bryan County, according to George ■
H. Brodnax and W. Cameron Mit
. ehell, state campaign co-chairmen.'
11 Mrs. Warnell, mother of four
children, also served the county
- as Heart Fund chairman in 19591
1 and again in 1960. She is a mem-1
। ber of the board of directors of j
Georgia Heart Association’s First
District Chapter and is active in
the Bryan County High School ’
■ Parent-Teacher Association and in
the Pembroke Home Demonstra
tion Council. She is a member of
the Pembroke Baptist Church,
teacher of the Young Men’s Bible
: Class, and councilor for the Junior;
Girl’s Auxiliary of the church.
The Heart Fund campaign, con
ducted each February, is the Geor
gia Heart Association’s only ap
■ peal for funds to fight disabling '
heart ami blood vessel disorders
through an intensive program of,
research, public and professional I
education, and community services.
Mr. Brodnax and Mr. Mitchell
said the state association considers
itself fortunate to have such cap-,
able leadership for the 1961 Heart
Fund Drive. “For this reason we
believe that the drive in this area
will be one of the most succe s
ful in recent years," they said.
The co-chairmen point out that;
the Georgia Heart Association,
now in its 13th year, has made
considerable progress, due almost ,
entirely to the active interest and I
support of the people of the state.
Georgia’s heart and stroke clinic '
systems, developed locally with as
sistance from the heart associa
tion, are unique for the nation and i
have attracted the interest of i
medical groups and health and wel
fare agencies. The clinic system,
in operation in 16 cities, has been
so successful that it has been I
i adopted in other states.
Additional stroke education i
clinics are being organized in |
Georgia, and it is largely because I
of this interest at the local level
that the heart association will con
tinue its emphasis on the rehabili
tation of stroke patients during
1961, the co-chairmen said.
The Georgia Heart Association
has allocated more than $170,006
this year for research and will con
tinue its statewide campaign of
education both within the medical
I profssion and for the general pub
! lie. The program provides the
latest authoritative information
for doctors and laymen alike.
Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer
Bland who came to attend the
couple's Golden Wedding reception
were Air. and Mrs. C. A. Bland,
Jr. and three children of Maryland
and Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Bland
and three children of Deland,
Florida.
Mrs. W. J. Ham, Sr. returned j
I to her home in Forsyth last week |
after being in Pembroke with her i
son, W. J. Ham, Jr., and grand-
I children during the hospital con- ,
finement of Mrs. Ham, Jr.

Public Enjoys
Xmas Decoration
In Pembroke
Christmas decorations have been
enjoyed by Pembroke residents and
visitors this year because of their
unusual beauty. Colorful Christ
mas ideas and themes have been
used on doors, windows and in the
yards.
It was not until after Christmas
Day that the writer had an oppor
tunity of riding around town and
looking at all of the decorations.
Some of them might have been
taken down by that time and some
might not have been lighted at that
particular hour. The one we saw,
all were lovely. The main point
is that so many people had evident
ly spent a lot of time in making
their homes attractive to the pub
lic.
On the porches of two homes,
guests wen- arriving. Santa Clam
had landed on the stoop of the
J. 11. Cason home. The life-hki
Santa was made by Lou Joy Cason
from cardboard and a wimderfu
job he <lid. I’lie twin teen agri
Lou Joy and Jav Ann < a . n hm
decorated the living room of thi ii
home ami it showed to good ad
vantage through the big pit tn.e
window over which him a filn"
e.irtain hung with Christmas hall
Later in the week Santa h u
di appeared ami n d letter- pell
Ing out Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year were on the
picture window.
Mr. ami VI i S. E. Slum ~n hav<
on theii front porch a "lady in
red", who appears to he knockiny
at their doot with an armful of
packages.
Au attractive outside Christmas
tree lights up the yard of the
Eddie Bacons, with a miniature
table replica in a nearby window.
In the yard of Mr. and Mrs.
Kyle D. Smith a mall tree glow,
beautifully with deep pink lights.
Around its base are piled gifts
wrapped in paper that sparkles
through the night.
Many homes had attractive
wreaths, some bought and some
home-made, against backgrounds
which covered the entire door. Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Strickland had
a background of green with a
small tree showing from a window.
Green was also used for the Pur
vis Brannen door. The W. W.
Bashlor, Sr. door decoration is
done in green and gold and is very
impressive. An attractive decora
tion also adorns the E. VV. Miles
home.
In E. B. Miles’ yard a “minia
ture sleigh and tiny reindeer” with
Santa Claus aboard is scampering
across the grass. Joe Guillot, a
few doors up the street, used
greenery on his doorway, and Mr.
and Mrs. Rex Walers bordered
their door with greenery to show
off the brilliant aluminum foil
background.
Mrs. W. C. Stephen', porch is a
lovely study in blue which includes
a small tree on the porch. A tree
is outlined in lights on the ivy
which clings to the chimney of the
' W. R. Deal home.
; An unusual effect is made by
| silhouettes in the windows of the
I Robert Quattlebaums. In one win
! dow the three wise men are shown
j and across the door in another
window is the nativity scene, with
“Holy Night” under it.
The beautiful arch of the N. L.
Ham doorway is emphasized by
soft lights and greenery, which
are also used for the J. O. Bacon
home, but in a square effect. A
beautiful tree shows through the
picture window at the latter home.
A tree using mostly yellow lights
sparkles at the J. R. DeLoaeh
home and is most attractive.
An attractive wreath hangs on
the doorway of the A. V. Ander
sons. A spray with a red light
which goes off and on was arrang
' ed by Airs. W. E. Smith for’their
home. Big 'peppermint candy"
1 candles flank the steps.
A bright red background on the
door affords a field for white
styrofoam reindeer to gallop at the
home of Mrs. Perry Parrish and
.Miss Anne Parrish.
Blue is the color used at the
home of Mrs. Norman Bacon.
Through the window can be seen
the lovely frosted tree, repealing
the blue lights used .it the hour.
Candles are the decor at the
Charles F. Warnell home. In Hie
yard three gi aduated big white
candles are brightly -poU.gnted,
with the theme used again in 1,.e
picture window. The lug Canutes
in the living loom have gilded
I magnolia leaves sprinkled witn
blue balls at the base. Ihe w in
dow candles theniselvi have an
embossed effect.
A wreath hangs on the outside
of the J. Dixie Hain home, calling
attention to the lovely scene in the
living room, the focal point being
the lighted tree.
there were other deem at,on as
; lovely as the ones mentioned nut
: the el feet could not be seen since
| the lights were not on. It was en
l couraging to ride through the city
j ami see the many lovely deeora
i tions. It was a compensation for
I nut quite getting to our own door.
