Pembroke Couple
Is In Accident
Near Claxton
An accident involving two cars,
one of which was parked, resulted
in the hospitalization of a Pem
broke couple early Monday night.
Fortunately, neither Mr. and
Mrs. G. B. Graham or the occu
pants of the parked car, Mr. and
Mrs. Todd, were seriously injured.
Mr. Graham said the bright
lights of an aproaching car blind
ed him and he failed to make the
curve. He drove into a car occu
pied by Mr. and Mrs. Todd parked
in front of Rogers' Store on High
way 280 west of Claxton.
Mr. and Mrs. Todd were examin
ed at Griffin’s Hospital in Claxton
and dismissed and Mr. and Mrs.
Graham were sent by ambulance
to Memorial Hospital in Savannah.
Their son, Clancy Graham, and
Mrs. Graham were notified and
left immediately for Savannah.
Mr. Graham was dismissed
after a thorough examination
showed only minor but painful
bruises. Mrs, Graham sustained
head and leg injuries but ex-rays
showed no broken bones. She will
probably be in the hospital for a
few days. Both are suffering from
shock. Mr. Graham is at the
home of his son in Pembroke.
MRS. BREWTON IS
HOME FROM BULLOCH
HOSPITAL
It was a shock to her many
friends last week to learn that
Mrs. J. W. Brewton, Sr. had been
admitted to the hospital. Since
several of her friends had talked
or visited with her several hours
before, they were surprised to
learn of the situation.
Mrs. Brewton went to the doc
tor’s, office Thursday and after
examination he insisted that she
enter the hospital where proper
treatment could be administered
and the severe bronchial infection
relieved. She was in Bulloch
County Hospital from Thursday
until Sunday.
Although Mrs. Brewton is much
better she is still not getting out
of the house, but is happy for
friends to call on her.
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Butler and
Mr. and Mrs. Colon Sapp, Pem
broke, have returned from Jack
son, Miss, where they visited Mrs.
Sapp's son, J. W. Driggers, and
Mrs. Driggers, and also from a
visit to relatives in Shreveport,
La. Mrs. Driggers returned with
them for a visit here.
S/Sgt. and Mrs. George T. Hen
dry and son of Orlando, Florida,
Were weekend guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Hendry and Mr. and

Explosion Caused
By Butane Gas
Rips Empty House
A gas-fed explosion tore the
side door from a house and seared
the paint and woodwork on most
of the walls on Friday of last
week in Pembroke.
The blast brought out the fire
department but there was a mini
mum of flames and the damage
was done in the twinklin of an
eye. Also rendered useless was a
new refrigerator belonging to
Mrs. W. W. Bashlor, Sr. The
door was splintered and flung in
to the yard.
The house, owned by W. W.
Bashlor, Jr., was unoccupied and
nobody was injured. How the
incident happened is not exactly
clear. Members of the family said
a gas stove in the kitchen had
been moved by the last occupants
of the house and the connection
had evidently been left unplugged,
the escaping gas filling the rooms.
In some way the gas became ignit
ed causing the explosion. A Negro
man, painting on the outside of
the house, denied that he had
gone into the house to light a
heater and warm on the extreme
ly cold day. It is reported that
one of the heaters was warm and
showed signs of having been light
ed.
The house will have to be re
done on the inside before it can be
occupied, it is understood.

On Monday night, January 28,
1961, the Lingerfelt Circle of The

the home of Mrs. Henry Speir,
Jr., at 7:30 P.M.
The program for the night
“Facing the Alcohol Problem” was

over in. Kokura, Japan,, who wrote
that, she received the “Christmas

pressing her gratitude for the
gifts and telling the members to
what extent they would be used.

touched each member very much
and to quote “May your own
Christmas be especially happy
this year and may all of us realize
our responsibility to share our
most precious possession—salva
tion in Jesus Christ—by prayer
for and witness to those around
us and to every lost person in

High School News
. Everett Cowart
Anyone who knows Everett well
agrees with the seniors’ opinion
of him. They voted him the best
all-round boy in the senior class.
Everett was elected F. F. A. presi
dent at the very beginning of the
year.
Because of his excellent sales
manship, he was able to sell more
ads for the BCHS annual than any
one else. Thus, he was selected as
advertising manager. Also, be
cause of his talent for being a
true salesman, he won a stuffed
poodle and a 17 jewel watch from
the Curtis Magazine Company.
After graduation, Everett plans i
to enter a Georgia College. He is
now living with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. O. Cowart in Pem
broke. He also is a member of
the Pembroke Baptist Church.

Gossip Column
Exactly half of our school year
is gone, which only means to us
Gossipettes one thing — we have
only 4J4 more months to gossip
This makes us all the more de-;
termined to get out in the public
more often and really do some look
ing around for goody, goody gos
sip. And believe us, we don’t have ■
to look very hard. Why, by just
sitting at home listening to the
radio last week, we heard Everett
Cowart’s name announced, along
with Hilda Rogers, Della Mae Skin
ner and Thomas Bacon. A song
(a love song, at that) was dedi- ’
cated to them . - . Hope Everett '
doesn't get the big ears because
his name is appearing twice in
our column this week, but did any
one see Flory Mae and him last
Thursday night ? They were sup
posed to have had a date . .
Also, last week Mary Frances and
Evan were back together after be
ing mad with each other the week
1 before. Their romance seems to go
I off and on like a light switch.
One coat seems to be sufficient
in keeping Jay Ann and Linton
warm, especially on the back of
the basketball bus. Oh. well, why
wear two coats when one does just ■
: as well? Betty Jean's life may be
in danger. She made a picture of:
Jay Ann and Linton that Jay Ann
seems to want very much. And.
you know, when someone wants
somethings as badly as Jay Anti
wants that picture, they’re most j
likely to do anything to get it.
The basketball bus served p
other purpose last week. It shield
ed Audrey from being seen when
Jerry told her goodnight after the
ballgame. Or she thought it '
shielded her. Better be more
careful next time, Audrey.
Betty really enjoys her basket
ball Raines. Especially the one
at 6*or|ia Southern College that
Clay took her to see. She also
enjoys having Turner come visi
her from Abraham Baldwin. Bet!
really goes for those college guys.
If you speak to Carol, and she
doesn’t answer, please don’t get
offended. She really didn’t hear
you. Gene left last Weekend and
her mind is wherever he is. Be
sympathetic with her, won’t you?
As we said in our last gossip
column, all the boys sat up straight
and slicked down their hair when
they saw Sybil Smith, the new
member of the Junior class, walk
in. Perhaps Roddy sat up the
straightest and slicked his hair
down the smoothest. If not, then
he’s doing so now . . .
The romance between Ellen and
Alfred is progressing. Ellen now
1 saves him a seat in the lunchroom
: every day. We hear another ro
mance is progressing just as fast
.or maybe faster. Ralph Akins
| ecorted Gwen Owens to the ball
■ game. Betty and Rex are now
going steady, Carolyn and Sue’s
affairs are now at a standstill.
They are only receiving letters. Or
। is it a standstill?
Carolyn Hayes says that she still
likes James Burke’s looks, but
Howard Hill is nearer to her age
' and probably more her type . .
I Buddy Henderson and Shirley
■ Hodges seem to run into each other
i at odd moments . . .
You’d thing that Mr. and Mrs.
Douglas Shuman were old fogies.
Now that they’ve been married for
a year (not that this has anything
to do with it) Delores tries her
I level best to see if her side of the
I car will really hold her up. Oh,
well, Delores says we can’t stay
: foolish, moon-struck teen-agers all
i of our lives.
That’s it for this week. Keep
talking You might try a little
more action, too.
