AFTER A LONG history of
+'" making one concession after
.+ another to the Republic of Pan
ama on the Panama Canal, it
... now appears that the United
States may go the rest of the
y way and relinquish our control
over the Canal.
The Presi
dent has an
nounced that
the 1903 treaty
giving the
United States
“perpetual
sovereignty”
over the Pan-
ama Canal and complete and
exclusive control over its opera
tion is to be annulled and a new
treaty proposed.
According to the White House
announcement, the new treaty
will “effectively recognize Pan
ama’s sovereignty over the area
of the present Canal Zone,” and
Panama will become a partner
in the “administration, manage
ment, and operations of the
Canal.” Although details of the
proposed new treaty have not
been completed, one feature of
it would give Panama more in
come from Canal receipts, in
stead of receiving just the $1.9
million annual payment.
* * *
THE PANAMA CANAL, the
result of American ingenuity
and enterprise, was carved out
of the Panamanian jungle by
«, American engineering, medical
v science, and money. The United
. States built the Canal after the
French failed and since its
* opening to world traffic in 1914,
we have operated it successfully
in the best interests of interna
tional trade and commerce.
3 Contrary to popular belief,
5 the Canal is not a money-mak
~. ing operation for the United
~ States. It was built at a cost of
*¢ S4OO million, and to this day the

approximately that amount to
the U. S. Treasury. In other
words, there has not even been
enough profit to liquidate the
original cost of construction.
For example, in the 12 years
since the Canal Company was
established to operate the canal
for the U. 8. government, profit
after expenses amounted to
$46.7 million, but during the
same period the company in
vested $122.7 million in capital
improvements,
¥ * *
OVER THE YEARS, the Pan
amanian government has de
manded more money from the
Canal and exerted tremendous
pressure to have the 1903 treaty
abrogated. The January, 1964
riots in the Canal Zone, which
took a great toll in lives and
property, was a recent attempt
to coerce the United States into
giving up its rights to the Canal.
It is my view that the United
States already has made too |
many concessions, and the line
should be drawn. Our govern
ment should stand firm and
assert our legal and moral right
to sovereignty over the Canal
Zone and should in no way com
promise our right to manage and
operate the Canal and be re
sponsible for its defense. Aside
from commercial considerations,
the Canal is vital to the security
of the United States and that of
all nations in this hemisphere.
Another treaty of the kind
proposed would be a great mis
take, and if the United States
continues to back up on this
| question we eventually will be
{driven completely off the Isth
‘| mus of Panama, which is ex
actly what revolutionary Latin
| American Communists want to
{ happen.

JOURNAL EDITOR PROUD TO BE
A MEMBER OF THE WEEKLY PRESS
Having lived a lifetime, more than 72 years in and around
a country newspaper, and now approaching the sunset of life,
Ye Editor has no regrets for having done so. It’s true that we
had our troubles, but along with that we have had our pleasures
and privileges, all of which out-balance any headaches that we
may have occurred over the years,
Truly, we consider being the Editor and Publisher of a
small town weekly a great privilege, we do not get a great deal
of money out of it, but after all, what is money, only something
to pass along and get the thing the heart degires, and we have
always been able to satisfy our every want, for we have had
sense enough to keep our wants in line with our ability to get.
Yes, for some unknown reason the Lord has been extremely good
to us.
Today, after having been in Pembroke since August of 1927,
we can say that we have four times the subseribers that the
paper had at that time, we get three times as much for the
paper, and collect for it, than was possible at that time, we get
six times as much for the advertising that was paid back in
the old days.
Two years ago Ye Editor was honored at a meeting of the
- Georgia Press at Athens and along with several others was
awarded a medallion and a gold pin signifying that I had been
in the printing business for more than fifty years.
We are proud of this honor, as well as other honors that
have been given us during the years we have been running a
weekly newspaper. We have made many close friends, and of
course have some that do not like us as well as others do, but
that is life. We are not mad at anyone, would do any human
being that we know, a favor if we were asked to do so. It may
be that with time, we have mellowed more or less, and that we
are trying to be a much better citizen now than we did in our
younger days. Who knows?
So today, October 11, 1965, we salute you on the first day
of Newspaper week as the Editor of Your Oldest and Best
Weekly Newspaper, (at least we think s 0), and wish each and
every one of you the best of luck.

Mr. Tom Lanier and bride
moved to Willie last Wednes
day. That night about ten
o’clock the town was alarmed
by the serenade. Firing guns,
beating tin pans, and making
noise, with every imaginable
thing. It lasted only a short
time and the town was wrapt
in sweet slumber again.

sale of beer will be stopped in

Savannah will be included.
- Another editorial comment:
“Now some guy with perhaps
more money than brains, says
that a man is not responsible
for what he does. We fail to
see why, unless there is a wom
an in the case.
A local said. Mr. J. Morgan
has purchased a new Ford.

||-uucus ZEKE 0! Fovor Modern ||
From the Bryan Enterprise
1 Dated October 17, 1913
~ We were on our way home to
dinner the other day when we
happened to notice Uncle Zeke
and J. Morgan in conversation,
While it is perfectly natural for
both of these prominent person
ages to talk, to be talked to, to
interview, to be interviewed,
here, there and everywhere by
everybody and all classes, there
seemed to be something extra
ordinary or fascinating about
this particular conversation that
made our patent leather shoes
feel as heavy as lead and the |
pavement as sticky as partially |
set glue. We were out in quest
for dinner and felt we should ‘
not stop for anything; but as 1
we passed this couple at the |
Pembroke Drug Co. ous ears
cracked like pistols as they
turned back to listen. Giving
way to our inclination we came
back, had our ears re-set by Dr.
Adams, sidled up to R. E. Lee
and began interviewing him on
the oil business, cut worms,
silages and ring worms, al
though we were so deeply inter
ested in Uncle Zeke and His
friend that we don’t remember
and probably didn’t hear a word
Mr. Lee said in reply to our
questions. What we do remem
ber was the following:
Morgan—Well, my wife and
1 expect to leave Monday for
New York City to visit rela
tives. We anticipate a fine
time for a few weeks.
Uncle Zeke—Good, I'm glad
you're going. I only wish Sarah
Jane and 1 could make such a
trip.
Morgan—Oh, you'll no doubt
have a fine time fishing, going
to picnies, ete.
Uncle Zeke — Not me. I'd
rather cradle wheat all day on
the Fourth of July as than turn
out to one of your confounded
midsummer picnics, or go a
fishing.
Morgan—You don’t say ?
Uncle Zeke—But I do say. To
my notion the modern picnic is
a humbug and hollow-horned
men ace. You've got to hike
out of bed before the first bird
chirps, work like a galley slave
for four hours getting ready,
and then when you are about
to start you suddenly realize
Vb AT T AR TR TA A ” "
that you haven't fastened the
chicken yard, that the barn door
isn’t locked, that the attic win
dows are out, and that you for
got to change socks and haven't
got a speck of scrap, plug to
bacco, stogies or a corn cob pipe,
and that you haven't time to
make the purchase before start
ing. Breakfast is altogether
out of question, and you do
darned well to get a chew of
last night’s coffee grounds or
drink of sour milk. When you
quit your home and start for
the train you are loaded down
with baskets, buckets, cushions,
camp tools and fly swats. On
the train or in wagon, no mat
ter which way you go, you are
crowded until vou wish wvou
were an innocent little sardine,
with lots of room to wiggle
around in a fly specked tin can
on the front shelf or a grocer
who never advertises. Out in
the woods, where you are sup
posed to enjoy yourself more
than a rabbit dog in a brier
patch you will find enough
work for four men to do, and
it must be done, notwithstand
ing the fact that your heavily
starched collar is sawing great
red canyons in your neck, your
corns are burning like fury,
your necktie continually swags,
swirls and drops off, while your
cuffs come loose and the sweat
permeates your pants, satur
| ates your shirts and makes you
feel ilke a withered mouse in
a pan of hot grease. Further
more, there are ants as big as |
vearling calves, flies that take |
pleasure in bumping you every
two seconds with more force
than a ball from Pitcher Smith,
Do I like to go out in the woods
and become food for gnats as
big as pea fowls and mosquitoes
that remind me of flying ma
chines? Not I. If there is any
fun in sitting down on a lot of
broken twigs, sharp stubble and
marshy soil to eat chicken that}
is red with ants, ham sand
wiches with roaches in them,
chow chow seasoned with un
fortunate crickets, grasshop
pers and black beetles who lost
their lives in making a tour of
investigation. I can’t locate it |
I never could eat strawberry|
short cake on which a pound of |
salt and pepper had been spill- !
powerful than any Cutlass before it! Sound like the sassy new
Supreme might change your ideas about low-priced cars? You can
bet on it! At your Dealer's ... LOOK TO OLDS FOR THE NEW!
e Liked by Many ® Cussed by Some ® Read by Them All
ed as you usually get at picniu;;
so I've drawn the line on pic
nics, and there’s others with me. |
Ask N. B. Bacon, J. J. Duggar, |
and W. P. Dukes.
Morgan—but you like fishing,
don’t you?
Uncle Zeke — Well that de
pends, Old time fishing—yes
Latter day fishing—nay, veri
ly. You see there isn’t much
to fish for now, besides you've
got to blow a little fortune into
fancy reels, poles, dip nets
buckets, flys, ete., to say noth- |,
ing of what you wear. Then
when you've fished hard all day
and returned home at night you
have nothing for your trouble
but a few little shinners about
as long as a half grown pea|
pod, just enough to keep your
appetite whetted up for a good '
mess of pike. Dr. W. K. Smith,
Ed. Elmore, Jenkins Sims and |
a few more who have been inti- |
mately acquainted with every |
family of fish in the county for |
the past 25 years, and are on
the “best of terms with them, |
seem to enjoy fishing and |
fighting gnats now-a-days but |
not your Uncle Zeke. In by gone |
'days when Franklin Dukes, Geo. :
Lanier and I could dig a few
fishing worms, cut a hickory '
pole and catch more big fat fish
in an hour than the whole fami
ly could eat in a day, I enjoyed !
fishing but not now. i
Just then Humphrey Dukes, |
member of the law firm of {
!Dukes & Dukes, called us to |
one side and we failed to hear [‘
the finish. |
