Colloquialisms
(From an Exchange)
An uncle by marriage, Talbot Shuman
of Hendersonville, N. C. and Orlando, Fla.,
passed some questions this week to this
writer in regard to colloquialisms and nat
ural happenings that are seen and heart
across this land of ours. He said he had
been hearing and seeing these since he was
“knee-high to a grasshopper.”
“Why does a fellow say he’s got more
of something than “Carter has pills. Can’t
seem to think how much that would be ex
cept maybe “more than a dog has fleas.”
“Why is it a man grunts when he's in
strain and a hog grunts when he’s at ease?
What does it take to make a hog blush?
“How fit is a fiddle?
“When does foresight end and hindsight
begin?
“Why is it that the ears of both men
and mules get bigger as they grow older?
“Why does a duck stand on one foot
with his head under a wing to sleep?
“Why do roosters hold conventions
just before daybreak?
“Why do old timers tell you that a
man can get along allright if he gets three
square meals a day? How square is a
square meal?
“How much is right smart? Is it mea
sured by the foot, pound or gallon?”
“How much is a tinker’s damn?
“Hqw ugly is homemade sin?
“How long is a country mile?
“Hbw slow is all-get out?
“How poor is Job’s turkey or a whip
poorwill?
“How hot is a ginger mill?
“How quick is two jerks of a rabbit’s
tail?
"How far is a whoop and a'holler?
“How angry does a person have to get
before he can’t spit straight?
“How tight is Dick’s hat band?
“How cold is it whe nit’s cold as blue
blazes?
“How slick is goose grease?
“How speckled is a guinea?
“How ill is a person when he’s ill as
a hornet?
“How old is a moon’s age?”
“How much does it take for a fellow
to be as drunk as an owl or high as a coot?
“How dead is a doornail?”
“How smart is a briar?
“How naked is a jaybird?
“How cool is a cucumber?”

Homecoming Day At First Baptist Church Sunday Was A Big Day
Members Return For The Day From Many Distant Points
More Good Food Than We Have Ever Seen At An Occasion Like This
These scenes made by The Journal Photographer, in order to show some of the crowd and the long tables of fine food.
Friends Like The
Janies P. Rodgers
Family Are Few
We remember what our good
friend Mike Gilbert told Ye Edi
tor many times, that if you had
one friend that was your friend,
right or wrong, up or down,
that you would be a “million
aire.” He further stated that
you could count your real
friends on the fingers of your
hand, and at times we were
sure that our good friend Mike
Gilbert was right in this state
ment.
If he was, we can truly say
that the Millers are “million
aires,” for we know that we
have two of the finest and best
friends anyone ever had in Jim
and Marge Rodgers, who lived
in Pembroke a few years ago
and Mr. Rodgers was in charge
of the Educational TV Tower
here, and Mrs. Rodgers worked
with the Journal. During that
time we learned to know and
love the Rodgers family.
Jim Rodgers was a "Yankee”
from Chicago, who came south
and did the best days work he
ever did when he married
Marge, a little, lovely Missis
sippi girl, and they have a fine
son and two lovely little girls,
they now live in a lovely home
in Decatur, and it is a sight
to visit them, see the many
things they have and work with,
and both the Editor and his
wife enjoy their hospitality real
often.
Only recently the Mayor was
in Atlanta and enjoyed a ball
game with the Rodgers and the
Hext day Jim who is a big shot
with the Educational TV sys
tem throughout Georgia had to
leave the city on business, and
Mrs. Rodgers took her Pontiac
and came down to the hotel and
“chaffeured” the Mayor all
over Atlanta and made it pos
sible to attend to much more
business than could have been
done without the help of this
lovely little lady.
But what we wanted to say,
is that on Sunday morning we
got a letter by Air Mail, Spe
cial Delivery from the Rodgers
family, that will always be one
of our cherished possessions.
Evidently they had read the
last issue of the Journal, re
minding many of our subscrib
ers that their time had expir
ed, and possibly that paper
would be their last, but not for
the Rodgers family. The letter
had a cute card in it, the front
was a beautiful design, and had
the following words,
Little deeds of kindness,
little words of love
Help to make earth happy
like the heaven above.
Then on the inside was writ
ten:
Our Television lets us look in
on Viet Nam.
The Radio tells us about crime
nocturnal.
The Consttiution squabbles with
Lester.
But BRYAN COUNTY lives in
The Pembroke Journal.
We offer our cheek in humble
submission,
The oversight is ours—Don’t
stop our subscription.
—The Rodgers.
The Rodgers may not know
or realize it. but stopping their
paper, would be one of the last
things that Ye Editor would
ever do. Yes their friendship
and love has made life easier
for both Ye Editor and his wife
many times. Long may they
live and be our friends.

We asked a professional photographer
to take a picture of both cars under identi
cal conditions.
Thereby putting the Mustang at a dis
advantage.
Our Javelin is equipped with massive
contour bumpers.
Unfair to Mustang, because thin blade
bumpers don’t photograph as well.
Our Javelin is endowed with yards of
costly glass. Side windows are all one piece,
without vents to break up the line.

Unfair, because Mustang isn’t nearly
so generous.
Our Javelin has a richer, more pol- r

Unfair, because it is cheaper to make
roof joints by machine.
Our Javelin has a bigger displacement

inder engine, bigger displacement in its
standard V-8.
Unfair.
