What a difference a few years
make! Proof of that fact is the
charming study of Kay Hussey on
the cover of the February 19 issue
of the Atlanta Journal and Con
stitution Magazine.
My favorite story about Kay,
now a dignified and very lovely
freshman at Georgia State College
for Women in Milledgeville, is, I
am sure, one she had just as soon
her daddy had kept to himself.
But at the time, Jim told the story
on himself, his daughter being
only incidentally involved.
Jim Hussey combined being
principal of Bryan County High
School for several years with
teaching a class of English. While
gazing reflectively out of the win- -
dow one day during class his at- I
tention was caught by a group of
lower elementary grade students
rolling a classmate over and over ;
in the dirt of the playground. The
rollee was enjoying the game as
evidenced by her shouts of aban
doned glee. Hair, face, pretty
dress and all were getting a
thorough soaking of South Geor
gia sand and dirt.
Giving voice to his thoughts,
Jim opined, more to himself than
to his students, “Now that child
hasn’t had proper training at
home. If she had, she would not
allow that. After all, a little
girl . . ." His voice trailed feebly
as the little girl suddenly ungent- I
ly shoved her companions aside I
by use of feet and arms and sat I
up, feet straight out before her. I
Through tangled hair and dirt,
Jim recognized his elder daughter. >
The beautiful color photo of Kay i
as an ante-bellum daughter of the '
South, extending her hand to be
kissed by a plantation gentleman !
resplendent in frock coat and
ruffled shirt, is a far cry from
that day.
The picture was taken recently
Friends of H. M. |
Hobbs Interested
In Condition
The many Pembroke friends of '
H. M. Hobbs continue to be inter
ested in his condition and keep up ;
with him through his daughter, |
Mrs. J. E. Lanier, who lives in >
Pembroke.
Hardly a day passes but a friend I
of her father questions Mrs. j
Lanier with genuine interest as •
to how he is getting on. For many j
year Mr. Hobbs made several visits !
to Pembroke each year and his
friends here learned to look for
ward to the time when he would
greet them.
Mr. Hobbs is confined to a hos
pital in Columbus but is able to
be up for a short time each day.
He will observe his 91st birthday |
in May and continues to maintain '
an interest in things about him j
that has always characterized this |
delightful gentleman.
SONS OF BRYAN
SENATOR VACATION
IN ATLANTA
The two sons of Bryan County’s
senator spent a short time this
week in Atlanta serving as pages
and seeing the many places of i
interest in the capital city.
When Senator Charles Warnell
returned to Atlanta Sunday he
carried with him Frederick and
David Warnell. The youngsters
were in Atlanta for Monday and
Tuesday, returning on the Nancy
Hanks, the train ride being one
of the highlights of the adven-1
ture. They stayed with their ‘
father at the Dinkler-Plaza.
The time was well spent as the |
two boys will be well qualified to 1
make interesting reports to their
classmates at Bryan County High
School.
Earlier in the legislative season
Mary Warnell Carolyn War
nell, Mary Louise Lane and Kay
DeLoach spent a few’ days as pages I
in the senate.
। j when Milledgeville commemorated
■ : the day Georgia seceded from the
> | Union and was made as Kay and
‘ , her swain stood at the gate of
Georgia’s old Gothic state capital
; building where delegates argued
. i about secession.
It is no surprise to know that
Kay made her lovely gown, as
she doubtless was an apprentice
1 of her mother, Willie Hussey, who
। could definitely sew a fine seam.
Jim and Willie Hussey and their
[two daughters live at Chauncey
I near Eastman.
Kay is not the first young per
| son from Pembroke to grace the
covers of the same publication.
Herbert Smith, doctor-son of
Mr. and Mrs. Emory Smith, wav
| ing his baton to lead a group of
I 4-H boys and girls in singing,
i made an appealing picture a good
| many years ago when he was
about 14. It was in the 4-H Club
j that Herbert was encouraged by
i Dewey Medders, county agent, and
Mrs. 11. M. Sanders, pianist, to
; develop his talents for song and
leading.
If Herbert can swing pills as
i well as he could swing a baton
I he’s doing all right by himself and
his patients.
Margie Hendrix, herself a
IG. S. C. W. student at the time,
I was shown with a group of class
। mates in a modern dance at a
school festival. In their light and
airy costumes, they presented an
: aesthetic interlude as they tripped
the light fantastic across the page.
Rev. James Hendrix, Margie’s
, father, was pastor of the Metho
jdist Church here. Mr. and Mrs.
Hendrix and the family now live
j in Macon.
So it goes, and it’s good to re
member them then, and it's good
to see them now,

A NEW BRAND of anti-free
enterprise economic thought mas
querading under the enigmatic
title of “pragmatic liberalism”
has gained a foothold in the high
est councils of the Executive
Branch of the Federal Govern
ment.
The term is that used to de
scribe the philosophy of at least
I two of the top
I economic ad
! visers wh o
| have the ear
I o f President
1 Kennedy— Dr.
Walter W.
' Heller who
I has taken of
| lice as Chair-
man of the Council of Economic
Advisers and Dr. John Kenneth
Galbraith who is slated to be Am
bassador to India. Defined by
Webster as “liberal principles and
theories ... of or pertaining to
the affairs of a community or
state,” it can best be explained as
the ultimate extension of the
theory that government can do
more for the people than the peo
ple can do for themselves. Its
basis is that individuals spend
too much money on themselves
and too little on governmental
programs and its aim is to re
verse that order through taxation
and economic controls and manip
ulation.

THE ULTRA-LIBERAL Wash
ington Post recently quoted Hel
ler as believing that “much of our
affluence is being frittered away
in indulgences, luxuries and friv
olities” and stated that he “wants
to redistribute the economic pie,
channeling relatively more re
sources to the public and less to
the private sector.” Columnist
Arthur Krock has noted that Hel
ler is unconcerned about the na
tional debt, pointing out that he
testified in 1959 that while the

Heart Sunday to
Climax Bryan
Fund Campaign
This weekend will be the cli
max of the February Heart Fund ;
campaign in Bryan County, ac
cording to Mrs. Charles F. War
nell, Bryan County chairman.
Chairman of the wekend emphasis
is Mrs. Gerald Bacon, who has
handled this phase of the cam
paign for several years.
Some .‘IO,OOO Georgia volunteers
are among the 1,600,000 workers
in the nation who are working
with the campaign. An incom
plete list of Bryan workers in
cludes Mrs. W. S. Downs, Mrs.
Charles Strickland, Mrs. Alton El
rick, Emory DeLoach, Floyd De-
Loach and Terry DeLoach.
Heart fund collections during
the weekend for Georgia are ex
pected to greatly augment the
state’s goal of $500,000.
Despite the tremendous progress
in modern research, heart and
blood vessel diseases remain the
number one health enemy, Mrs.
Warnell said she has learned from
studying the literature given her.
She said that largely through
the Georgia Heart Association and
interested physicians and laymen,
the state now has one of the na
tion's most effective heart pro
grams. She explained that Dr.
Curtis Hames is one of our own
group giving much of his time to
heart research and study.
The Georgia Heart campaign
shows that more than 30 heart
scientists are at work in Georgia
medical centers. Since 1950 the
Georgia Heart Association,
through support of the Heart
Fund, has allocated nearly $900,-
000 for research alone.
Mrs. Warnell and her co-work
ers urge that Bryan Countians
show their interest and concern
for their less fortunate neighbor
who is stricken with some phase
of heart disease by giving gen
erously during the weekend or at
any time they might be contacted.
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to express appreciation
p or the many kind attentions shown
me during my stay in the hospital. ■
The visits, gifts, flowers and cards ■
were greatly appreciated by me
and other members of my family.
These thoughtful expressions
meant a great deal to me at this 1
particular time. s
Mrs. Warren Miller ]
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
American people may be said to
owe the debt they also “own the
debt.”
Galbraith, in his controversial
book, “The Affluent Society,” ex
pressed complete contempt for in
dividual aspirations for a better
life, referring sneeringly to them
as “the craving for more elegant
automobiles, more exotic food,
more erotic clothing, more elab
orate entertainment . . . the en
tire modern range of sensuous,
edifying and lethal desires.” He
deplored the influence of adver
tising upon individual wants and
called for "a system of taxation
which automatically makes a pro
rata share of increasing income
available to public authority for
public purposes.”
* ♦ ♦
WHETHER ADMITTED or
not, such a philosophy is nothing
i less than a restatement of the
- Marxian dialectic of each indi
vidual working according to his
i ability and receiving according to
1 his need. It represents a total
> rejection not only of the law of
supply and demand hut also of
s the fundamental principle of our
I system of free enterprise—that
i work is desirable and that the in
l centive for work is the enjoyment
■ of the fruits of labor by the indi
i viduals who earn them.
The fatal flaw of any scheme
to provide private needs through
public means is that it runs count
- er to the economic realities that
- what is bought must be paid for
r and that only through the genera
/ tion and investment of working
- capital can a stable monetary sys
-3 tern be maintained. Not even
, “pragmatic liberalism” can an
- swer the question of who provides
j the living if everyone decides the
t government owes him one.

Volunteer Sought
For State Cured
Cancer Assembly
A Bryan County volunteer is be
ing sought for the first Cured
Cancer Assembly of the Georgia
Division of the American Cancel-
Society
Mrs. N. L. Ham, chairman of
the Bryan County unit of the state
Cancer Division, said a search is
underway for a cured cancer vol
unteer to represent the county at
the assembly. Definite plans for
the meeting site and date have not
yet been announced. The two-day
session will, however, convene in
March and will inelude, a guided
review of Emory University's can
cer research facilities. Mayor em
phasis will be placed on making
newspaper photographs, radio
tapes and TV films to be rushed
back for use in the delegates’ home
communities.
Mrs. Hain said a medical clear
ance of five years is necessary be
fore a cancer patient is declared
cured. One of the main objectives
of the assembly is to emphasize the
hopeful aspect of cancer as a cur
able disease. This is also an ob
jective of the public education pro
gram of the society.
Chairmen of all county units are
being alerted to seek a volunteer
so that cured cancer patients from
many Georgia counties as possible
might be brought together in one
place to focus public attention on
the fact that many cancers can be
cured if they are detected and
treated early.
Mrs. Ham has requested the co
operation of all Bryan countians
interested in cancer research lead
ing to the conquering of the dis
ease in her search for a volunteer
from any section of the county.

Recommended
Vegetables
Home gardeners are always ad
vised by county agents to plant
only recommended varieties.
This is because these varieties
are ones that have been tested
by the Georgia agricultural ex
periment stations and found to
meet all necessary requirements.
.Seeds listed are those that have
been tried and proven to be ac
ceptable for the growers of Geor
gia. No seeds are listed that have
not been tested by the agricul
tural experiment stations and this
list is further broken down into
seed for particular areas of the
state.
Testing of varieties for the
coastal plain area, which includes
Bryan County, is done at the Tif
ton Station and its branches.
Efforts are also made to develop
a new variety of vegetable that
has resistance to certain diseases
or to adapt a specific variety to a
certain area.
As an example, Marglobe, Sun-1
ray and Winsall tomatoes are
recommended for north and middle |
Georgia, but are not suitable for
production in south Georgia.
Rhubarb is only recommended for
north Georgia as it is a cool season
plant and cannot stand the hot
weather in the middle and lower
parts of the state. Some varieties
of Irish potatoes are recommended
for the mountains.
After a new variety has proved
acceptable to research workers, a
conference .is held with a commit
tee of the Georgia Seedsmen As-

is recommended for a certain area.
A lot of expense and research has
gone into the matter before this
is done.
All recommended varieties are
adapted to climatic conditions and
in most cases are resistant to one
or more diseases. They usually
produce higher yields of better
quality vegetables.
