WHEN FRANCE ecognized
Red China in January, 1964, the
French foreign minister made
the statement that the Chinese
Communists were "modern, dis
ciplined, and progressive” and
ready to live in peace and har
mony with the Free World.
It was my view then, and is
now, that the
French official
must have tem
porarily lost
touch with
reality. Appar
ently, he has
not yet emerg
ed from this
dream world,
• for he still argues that Red
'* China is a fit candidate for ad
’ mission to the United Nations,
• and should be let in.
The United Nations, with al)
i its faults and problems, is an
2 organization dedicated to the
• preservation of world peace, and
it is difficult for me to envision
Red China sitting in its councils.
Red China, at whose doorstep
can be laid most of the existing
problems in Southeast Asia, in
cluding the Viet Nam war, has
2 made it exceedingly clear that
" it is not interested in peace.
■ Under the Mao Tse-Tung re
gime, warmongering and ag
gression are the order of the
; day, and the Communist Chinese
make no secret of the fact that
~ they hope someday to dominate
;; all of Asia from Japan to India,
and ultimately to rule the Com
munist world.

ARGUMENTS FOR admitting
Red China to the United Nations
, become even more ludicrous in
, light of the fact that about the
i same time the French foreign
minister was urging the seating
of Mao’s delegates, the Chinese
foreign minister was declaring
that if Red China were to join
the U.N. certain demands would
have to be met first.
Peking said the U.N. would
have to withdraw its condemna
tion of China as an aggressor in
the Korean War, call all the
nations together for a review of
the U.N. Charter and probably
rewrite it along Chinese lines,
and also expel Nationalist China
and “all imperialistic puppets”
which, according to Mao, would
include virtually all non-Com
munist nations.
And, from the way the Com
munist Chinese are acting at the
present time, it probably would
include the Soviet Union as well.
* * *
SIMPLY STATED, if Red
China came to the United Na
tions, it would do so with no
other purpose in mind than to
wreck that organization.
The U.N. has more pressing
business to attend to than the
wasting of time considering the
admission of Red China to its
ranks. I see no good purpose to
be served by such a move.
During the business session
routine business and reports
were given. Mrs. L. M. Ander
j son, treasurer, gave her annual
i reports for missions.
’ The meeting was adjourned
' with prayer.

TO THE CITIZENS
OF PEMBROKE
We had intended to have nothing further to say about the
approaching City Election until the time had arrived to Qualify
and start running, but it seems that so many of our friends still
do not fully understand the situation, and many of the details
that will be connected with the election this year, until we are
making this statement, and hope that the next one will be made
after the fees and qualifications, etc. are set for the election, and
then one can qualify and go to running for the office he wishes
to run for.
First, it is our plan if we run and are elected, and we have
every intention of running, to leave the selection of all the of
ficials of the City, police, etc., up to the City Council, that is,
we are going to let them select the police officer, and then I, as
Mayor and the Police Committee will work with them, as the
Charter makes the Mayor the Chief of the force. If there is
trouble with the Mayor and the Committee and the police officer,
the procedure would be to suspend him, and call the City Council
together and place the facts before them, and then it would be
their job to either fire the policeman or put him back to work,
perhaps with a warning. That is the way it is worked in other
cities.
I will run just for Mayor, and will not try to tell the people
of Pembroke who they should and should not elect as their
Councilmen. Believing that I can and will get along with any
Council that is elected if I am again honored with election.
I promise that there will be a Police Court every Monday,
either in the morning or that night, if there has been any cases
made, and that all cases will be disposed of in the Mayor’s
Court in the presence of the Clerk of the City and the Police
officer.
I am going to try and equalize the water rates where the
poor people, and the widows who are living on just a small
check can get by on less water bill, of course, this will have to
be done by Council, but I will fight for it and will endeavor to
get those on the water books that may be escaping paying now.
I have plans to improve the collection of the garbage of
the City, we have a good man, but he needs help, better equip
ment, the trucks he is using “have seen better days.”
I will not recommend anyone to the council for a police
mans job, and certainly do not now, and will not try to get the
job for any former police office of the City.
I am not promising you sewerage, but feel that if the proper
efforts are put forth now, and with the government more liberal
with giving away money in Washington that it would be possible
for Pombroke to have sewerage, which was impossible when I
was Mayor before, for at that time we would have had to mort
gage everything we had, including the unborn children to have
gotten sewerage, and that was the reason that I did not run for
another term, when it looked as if we were going to get
sewerage.
Now last but by no means least, 1 will ask and insist that
the Council set up a system of giving the people of Pembroke
a report of what is going on in the Cities affairs, to start with
I think the first meeting of the Council should list all employees,
and the salaries they get, and each month there should be a
report made of the money collected up to the meeting of the
City Council each second Tuesday, and then a detailed list of
what this money went for. After all it is the peoples business.
Thm publicity should be placed in BOTH of the papers in Pern
broke, and if the City is able it should be paid for, if money is
too short, the papers should be asked to carry it as a matter of
news for the time being, in the hopes that things would improve
and the City could pay for this service. I am sure that both
papers would cooperate if asked to.
Now, all we have to say, is that we are planning to run,
we hope that five good citizens can be elected as Councilmen,
and we ask all of our people, regardless of how they vote, to
get their voting status right and when the election comes to go
°«t an< cast a vote. To vote in the City you have to be register-
rx J 10 "-. on the county ’ 8 booka and ulß ° in th «
City at the Clerks office, and if you have lived in the state
county and city a sufficient length of time you will be qualified
lu VOlv,
Sincerely,
Frank O. Miller.

Futch Reunion
Sunday Was A
Fine Affair
It was our privilege to at
tend another Futch reunion last
Sunday at the old Esla School,
we, having gotten into these
family affairs through our
friendship with the Jim Futch
family, who we are glad to say
are among our best friends.
Sunday as usual was a big day,
there was lots of food, plenty
of everything to go along with .
the food, and a crowd that en- |
joys getting together with
their kinsmen and their friends.
Among others that are most
always on hand for these re
unions are Rev. and Mrs. John
R. Joyner and boys, and Mr.
and Mrs. D. E. Medders, they |
are as a rule on hand. They like 1
the Millers have been friends
of the Jim Futch family for
many years.
These family reunion affairs
are fine things, it brings people
together and keeps one another
in touch with each other, which
is as it should be. Too many
of us allow ourselves to drift
apart from other relatives, and
were some of us to meet some
of our close kinsman we would
not know them, and many don’t
know where they are living. It
was just not meant to be that
way, and we like to try to keep
our family more or less togeth
er, and enjoy attending the
family reunions of our friends,
truly they are all big days.

W. E. Cannady
Is Getting
Along Nicely
We were inquiring about our
good friend Mr. W. E. Cannady
who was reported in the Bul
loch County hospital some time
ago, and his family was upset
about his condition. But on
Saturday we asked his daugh
ter, Mrs. Futch who lives with
him about his condition, she re
। plied that he was getting along
। all right she thought, that he
I had gone on the truck that
morning to Statesboro to the
peanut .market.
Due to his advanced age, and
the fact that he will get out
and work, and probably over
does the job at times, it keeps
1 his family worried about him,
I when he is probably better off
doing like he wants to, and be
ing left alone.
How they are keeping him at
home and out of the woods be
hind a pack of hounds hunting
deer is hard for us to under
stand. Long before we knew
him like we do now, we knew
of him as an avid hunter and
always on the hunts during the
season.
