• NO ONE is more aware of the
rising cost of education than the
American taxpayer who each
year must dig deeper and deeper
to hire more teachers and in
•crease their pay, to build more
schools and classrooms, and to
seek more ways for improving
the quality of
education.
Such are the
demands of to
' day and great
ly increased
school attend
ance that it
seems we are
barely a§le to
keep up. School bond issues to
finance capital improvements
are becoming regular occur-
. - .rences.
Since 1900, expenditures for
education in the United States
have risen more than 100 times
from S2B-1 million to some $34
billion in 1963-64. Just since
1940, the cost of schools is up
tenfold, and indications are that
in future years the rate of
•spending will climb even faster.
The financing of an adequate
educational system is a problem
none of us can afford to over
look, not at the local, state, or
federal level. Education is in
deed “an investment in people,”
as the national Chamber of
Commerce recently declared in
an interesting and informative
publication. And I might add
that it is likewise an investment
in the future security and well
being of our country.

PEOPLE REALIZE that more
and better schools cost a great
deal of money, and state, city,
and county governments are
moving to meet this need, as is
the federal government. For ex

Act of 1965, which provides for
the allocation of $1.2 billion to
the states, of which Georgia was
to be allotted some S3B million.
However, it must be remem
bered that the expenditure of
vast sums of money by no
means assures quality education
or that every boy and girl is
guaranteed their birthright of an
adequate education in keeping
with his or her individual needs
and desires.
In short, simply because more
and more money is being pumped
into our schools is no reason for
citizens to smugly assume that
all is well with education. In
many areas, quite the contrary
is true.
* * *
IN STUDYING the Chamber
of Commerce publication on the
importance and needs of educa
tion, I was much appalled by the
school dropout rate throughout
the nation, and particularly in
Georgia. I share the view ex
pressed by some educators that
to drop out of school in this day
and time is to commit “economic
suicide.”
According to Chamber of Com
merce statistics, Georgia leads
the nation with a dropout rate
of just under 50 per cent. The
number of dropouts in the 1958-
62 Georgia high school class
came to approximately 27,444,
and the economic loss to the
state was estimated to be $22
million.
Although great gains are be
ing made, we cannot afford to
regard our educational program
as satisfactory so long as this
problem persists. This is a tragic
waste of human resources and
every effort must be made to
correct the critical dropout prob
lem.

We Are Proud Os "Pat" Quattlebaum
Yes, every citizen of Pembroke should be proud of
what our own little “Pat” Quattlebaum has done, and
the record he has made of his life.
To start with he did not have the advantages that
many have in life, he was born over in Bulloch county
near Macedonia Church, of poor, but good people, and
came to Pembroke as a young boy. We remember him
well going to school, many times with a “guitar or
banjo” in his hands, he loved music.
Twenty-four years ago while attending a revival
at the Pembroke Baptist Church he gave his heart to
God, and immediately started living the life of a Chris
tian, soon he felt the urge to carry the word to the
people of his Christ, but in the meantime he had moved
back over to Bulloch, near Macedonia Church, and it
was at this church that he was ordained to preach.
During the years we saw or heard very little of
our little freckled faced, country guitar playing boy, Pat
Quattlebaum. But on Sunday night his two brothers,
two fine young men of Pembroke, who are following
along in Pat’s footsteps were to be ordained as Deacons
of the First Baptist Church of Pembroke, the very same
church that Pat joined, and it was announced that the
Ordination sermon would be preached by Rev. John P.
(Pat) Quattlebaum, pastor of the Baptist Church at
Alamo.
We went and when Rev. Patton introduced the
guest preacher to the crowd he gave his life’s story,
and he also told them that this boy, who left Pembroke
with a seventh grade education had imuhed school, had
finished Georgia Southern College, and had attended
the Seminary, and had three degrees also, and in addi
tion to being pastor of the Baptist Church at Alamo, he
taught English at Brewton Parker College, where he
also attended College. Truly an accomplishment for
anyone, even with money to be proud of, but, knowing
that Pat had very little of the worlds goods, he did
it on his own, and therefore is entitled to more credit
than would be due otherwise.
In closing we want to say that we were pleased
and amazed at the manner in which (our own) Pat
•Quattlebaum handled the sermon, and it made us real
proud to have known him in the bygone years, and we
wish to say that he was received by the people of his
home town with open arms, all of whom are just as
proud of him as Ye Editor.

Methodist Board
Supports Hagans
Alcoholism Plans
Dr. Lester L. Keyser voiced
the support of Methodism’s
Board of Christian Social Con
cerns for proposed legislation
to establish a Federal Commis
sion on Alcoholism in testimony
before the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Com
merce this morning. Dr. Keyser,
a Dallas, Texas, physician and
Director of the Memorial
Health Center of Southern
Methodist University, spoke as
Chairman of the Department of
Alcohol Problems of the Board's
Division of Alcohol Problems
and General Welfare.
Four identical bills (H. R.
781, 7307, 7394, 6069) have
been introduced in the House .
to establish this Commission, j
The bills were introduced by I
■ Congressmen Hagan (D. Ga.),
1 Corman (D. Cal.), Murphy (D.
Ill.), and Matsunaga (D. Ha
waii.)
The Commission would con
sist of seven members, who are
known authorities on alcohol
ism, appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of
the Senate. Included in the I
Commission’s tasks are the con
ducting of research, plus the
establishment and maintenance
of facilities for the* care and
treatment of alcoholism.
After citing the Methodist
Church’s continuing concern for
THE PEMBROKE JOURNAL
problems related to alcohol Dr.
Keyser praised the Congress
for recognizing this major
health problem by considering
legislation. “The combined re
sources of both federal and
state government, at the pres
ent time just over sl2 million,
only barely scratch the surface
of a problem in which the eco
nomic costs alone run in the
bilions.”
He pointed to the need for a
permanent structure within the
federal government to deal di
rectly with alcoholism treat
ment, control, and prevention.
At present the proposed com
mission would focus only on re
search and treatment.
He called attention to the
need for the Commission to rec
ognize the unique contribution
of religion to the care and
treatment of alcoholism.

Local Friends
Honor Griffin
At Breakfast
On Friday Ye Editor attend
ed a breakfast in Waynesboro,
which was given by Hon. Roy
Chalker, head of the Chalker
Publishing Company, Inc., in
honor of former Governor Mar
vin Griffin, who had made an
address before a civic organiza
tion and went to Waynesboro to
spend the night with his friend
Chalker, and have an opportun
ity to meet and shake hands
with other friends. We were
signally honored to have been in
vited, as it was a Burke county
affair,' and for the Journal Edi
tor and our School Superinten
dent to be invited was an honor.
Every seat was taken in the
dining hall, and from that it
would appear that heveryone
that got an invitation respond
ed, for there was no room for
any one else. The host, Roy
Chalker announced that there
was nothing significant about
would appear that everyone
that he was honored to have
his warm friend, former Gov
ernor Marvin Griffin there as
his guest and wanted some of
his friends to have the oppor
tunity to see and talk to him.
The nearest thing to any poli
tics came when Marvin made
the statement that he was
there on a friendly visit to his
friends, was enjoying life in
Bainbridge, and was especially
delighted to see a “certain per
son” getting the daylights skin
ned out of him by a potential
• candidate for Governor. Other
than that remark, there was no
politics.
After the delightful break
fast Governor Griffin made a
very delightful talk to his
friends, and you can bet your
bottom dollar that he has them,
a lots of them that believe in
him in Burke County. He was
especially nice to Ye Editor in
his remarks and Mr. DeLoach
and the Editor both had a very
enjoyable trip.

Writes A Letter
The following letter was re

mail with a nice letter and a
check for her paper another
year. The letter speaks for it
self and was as follows:
Miami, Fla., Octb 2, 1965
Editor Pembroke Journal
Dear Mr. Miller and
The Journal family.
I checked my paper and found
my subscription is due. Time
just has away of getting away.
Enclosed herewith is $3.00. I
cannot remember when The
Journal started in our home, I
am sure it was before my time.-
My dad, Collie H. Downs sure
loved Bryan County and the
folks who lived in it, he was
interested in civic affairs, good
government and the county
newspaper. I left Pembroke 21
years ago for Miami, I consider
The Pembroke Journal as one
of the important newspapers
that come across my desk each
week. I have many relatives
and friends in my home town
and in this Jet age we live in,
seems nobody has time to write
letters. By paying my subscrip
tion I keep in touch. Keep the
. Editorials up about history, I
too am interested. I am grate
ful for what Anne Clanton
Knecht is doing for the Downs
family records, her letter in The
Journal September 30 was most
interesting.
Sincerely,
Rita Mae Downs
(Mrs. R. B. Mason)
Mrs. L. M. Harvey, Grady
Harvey, Mrs. Sandra Crosby
Forrest of Savannah and Deb
bie Crosby visited relatives in
