Where's The Mayor?
That question was asked last week by our opposition
newspaper, who had an editorial about the new city ad
ministration, made nice remarks about the members of the
Council and wound up his story with the question. Where’s
The Mayor?
Now to start with we do not intend to get in any news
paper row with our opposition or anyone else, for that, be
lieving that each of them have their right to believe what
they please, and in away say what they please. We just
put it aside with the feeling that he did not have the full
information about what the Mayor was supposed to have
said, published or was doing, or he would not have done
it. Anyone believing that the Mayor has misrepresented the
true condition of the affairs of the city, we refer them to the i
finance committee Mr. E. B. Miles at the Pembroke State j
Bank or Mr. N. L. Ham at the Bryan Motor Co., or to the 1
Clerk of the City, Mr. J. Dixie Harn
But we have forgotten the past, and we are going to
continue doing what we were doing last week, trying our '
best to render a service to the citizens of Pembroke, and at
the same time make a living running the Journal.
We do wish to say that as Mayor that we are entirely
happy and satisfied in every way with our official family,
naming them as they come, first we have as fine a Council
as we have ever had, they have cooperated with us in every
suggestion that we have made, we couldn’t ask for a better ’
one. They are 100 per cent for Pembroke and are giving
your Mayor their backing. We have a fine Clerk and Trea
surer, a man that we have known and worked with for
many years, we are happy there, Pembroke has no finer
citizen than J. Dixie Harn, our Chief of Police Mr. D. L.
Boyette, who was elected by the City Council, but who is
working under the sole direction of the Mayor is giving
us one hundred percent satisfaction, his relief man, Deputy
Sheriff M. N. Starling is one of the best officer we have
ever had anything to do with, the city help with the Garbage ’
Truck, Sol Clanton can’t be beat, so with that we must say that i
our official family is together and happy", and we are going L
to make a good showing in the months ahead.
As for the finances of the City, that is nothing new for
any city or county they all have financial difficulties, as
many of their people get the idea that they must never nay
for the services they get. and this makes bad matters worse.
But we will work that out, have done it before and will do I
it again.
W*: are * n ^e process of improving our equipment for
the collection of garbage, we are active on the sewerage deal,
and we hope to soon be able to report something definite on
sewerage for Pembroke. And now to wind this thing up, the
Mayor would like to say that we are not mad with any body,
and hope that there are very few that are mad with us
Let s all be friends.

CARD OF THANKS
As it is impossible for me to
answer all of the cards and
other expressions of love and
friendship which I deceived dur
ing my recent illness, I take
this opportunity to thank each
and everyone who remembered
me. I am especially grateful
for the prayers of the good
people of Pembroke which I
feel greatly contributed to my
recovery. May God bless every
one of you.
Gratefully yours,
Grover Denmark

A GALLUP POLL taken last |
November indicated that the
amount of interest shown by a
large number of American citi
zens in our representative gov- ;
ernment leaves much to be
desired.
Judging from the results of
this national survey, which
were disturb- W
ing as well as w:
surprising, too
many citizens '
arc either un- ,
informed or
indifferent, or
both. It is afl
lamentable sit - fl
uation indeed fl
when most people don’t even
know who is representing them
in Congress.
Yet this is what the poll
showed. When asked if they ,
knew the name of their dis
trict representative in Con
'gress, 57 per cent said they i
did not. Eighty-one per cent
did not know how he voted on
major legislation in 1965, and 1
70 per cent were unaware of
when their Congressman comes ।
up for election next.
• * *
GEORGIA WOULD stand
higher on such a quiz, in my 1
opinion, than the percentages
reflected in the national poll.
The people of Georgia have
traditionally shown a knowl- ।
edgable and active interest in 1
their government and this has 1
been largely responsible for the !
great progress the state has :
made.
Although there is always
room for improvement in the
turnout of voters on election

ths Pembroke [journal:
days, Georgians for the most
part have demonstrated that
they realize that the exercise
of the franchise is not only one
of their most cherished rights,
but it is also a high duty. The
people have shown that they
are more interested in issues
and ability to perform mean
ingful service than they are in
personalities and hollow ora
tory, and this is as it should be.

THIS IS AN election year in
Georgia, and this fall the peo
ple of the state will go to the
polls to select their leaders at
various levels of government,
national and state.
Offices up for election this
year are United States senator;
members of the House of Rep
resentatives from each of
Georgia's 10 congressional dis
tricts; governor and lieutenant
governor; and a number of
other high state positions.
Georgia has made significant
gains in voter registration in
recent years, especially in our
urban areas through the neigh
borhood registration program.
It is vitally important to the
strength of our form of govern
ment that citizens exercise the
right to vote, independently
and thoughtfully.
In the final analysis, it is the
people and no one else who
determine what kind of govern
ment we will have, whether it
be in Washington or at the
state, county, or city level.

SEEDS
FROM
THE
SOWER... I
By Rev. Michael Guido
“Pm bad,” confessed a reader
in his letter, “I’m awfully bad.
Everybody hates me. How can
I go straight?” It was then
that I turned to James 1:5,
“If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God.”
God is all-wise and He is
all-powerful. There is no prob
lem too difficult for Him to
solve, no passion too distress
ing for Him to subdue, no pri
vation too depressing for Him
to supply and no person too
devilish for him to save. No
thing is too hard for him!
If you want to know what
God wants you to do, just ask
Him, and he will tell you. The
Bible says, He “giveth to all
liberally, and upbraideth not”
-James 1:5. The word upbrai
deth means without any
thought of return. Some peo
ple give to get. Not so, God.
.He comes to us, not for what
we can give Him, but for what
He can give us. And He “up
braideth not”. That is, He won’t
say, "What, are you coming to
Me again? What did you do
with the last gift I gave you?
You must act better before
you ask for more.” That is the
way we talk to others, but not
the way He talks to us. He is
a forgiving and a giving God.
A legend tells of a king that
died, and his wise men were
called upon to choose a ruler
between two babies. They
saw them sleeping, and they
noticed that one had his hands
tightly closed but the other
slept with his hands open.
They selected the latter, and
he became known as the King
with Open Hand. God isn’t
close-fisted. He is the King
with the Open Hand! Ask,
God always answers.
«xrs. Griffin, vice cnairman
of the circle, presided at the
business session.
The meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. D. E. Medders
who served refreshments dur
ing the social hour.
A cordial welcome was giv
en Mrs. J. C. Hatfield who re
turned to the circle after a long
absence because of illness in
her family. Also attending
were Mrs. Medders, Mrs. Grif
fin, Mrs. Miles, Mrs. Edwards,
Mrs. Alton Futch, Mrs. Leroy
Harvey, Mrs. P. W. Bacon,
Mrs. Norman Bacon. Lee Ann
Hatfield was a visitor.

Bryan County Has
Potential For
Soybean Production
Bryan County, along with the
rest of Georgia, has a great po
tential far expanding soybean
production. The county is par
ticipating in a new intensified
Cooperative Extension Service
program designed to help reach
the potential.
The county agent has a new
soybean b ull eti n, and other
educational material which he
is now using to stimulate in
terest in the crop.
Citing the potential state
wide, Georgia farmers would
need to plant more than a mil
lion acres of soybeans just to
supply the soybean meal used
in poultry feed alone. That is,
at the present average yield of
20 bushels per acre. Even if this
yield were doubled, it would
take 500,000 acres of soybeans
just for the chicken feed used
in Georgia.
The state used over 900 mil
lion pounds of soybean meal in
poultry feed in 1964. Thus the
need for over a million acres of
soybeans.
Only 186,000 acres of land
were planted to the crop in
1965. Value of the beans was
about $9,300,000.
In Bryan County last year
farmers planted about 1600
acres of soybeans and produced
approximately 36,800 bushels.
Bryan County farmers have
a potential for 2,000 acres. The
average county yield of 23
bushels can be boosted to 30
bushels with improved produc
tion practices.
If this acreage and yield po
tential is realized, total soy
bean production in Bryan Coun
ty will stand at about 60,000
bushels annually. This kind of
crop, at $2.50 a bushel, would
mean a $150,000 income to the
county.
