"City Slickers" Trying To Put
"Biddy" On Country Cousins Os
Bryan And Effingham Counties
If ever a set of “City Slickers” got together and
made arrangements to give their country friends in
Bryan and Effingham counties hell, that’s just what
happened in the plans recommended for the two coun
ties to “share in” the Senatorial spoils of the three
counties, Chatham, Effingham and Bryan.
Chatham has had three senators and in the re
arrangement of the Senatorial Districts Chatham was
to lose one of their Senators, (which they will not
do), under their plan, it was decided the way to work
it was to add “poor little Bryan and Effingham” to
their third district, and to add the western section of
Chatham County, (which we have no obpections to),
but then they take the middle of Chatham and make
District 1 and 2, and then they jump on down to
Savannah Beach and add it to the Third District along
with Bryan and Effingham, which make about as much
sense as if they had jumped to North Georgia and
added Dade County.
Running for Senator from Bryan and Effingham
County would be too foolish to even consider, to start
with the candidate would have to “hop, skip and jump,
from pillar to post” to see the voters. It just means
that the same bunch of politicians would still be in
control and the people of Bryan and Effingham would
just be poor boys.
Years ago Bryan and Effingham was a part of the
First Senatorial District with Chatham and we got
along alright, because we had people in charge of the
operations of affairs in Chatham that were fair, honest
and wanted to treat their country friends right, but
“home ain’t what it uster be”, today the politicians run
Chatham County and the City of Savannah and they
do not give a “tinkers ramn” for their country friend;
except have them come to town and spend their money
and go back home and crawl in a hole. That is one
of the reasons that Savannah and Chatham County
is on the side track, they want it all and do not warn
to give anything, and the country people are eeHinp
fed up being treated as a “red headed step child” by
the “city slickers”, and many are going to Statesboro
Claxton and other friendly places to trade, where they
get a fair deal.
Yes, Chatham County will wake up one day and
realize that the “city slickers” are selling them down

Shuman Prepares
Redistrict Plans
By BERYL SELLERS
Press Atlanta Bureau
ATLANTA - Rep. Jack
Shuman of Pembroke today
was preparing a new plan for
senatorial districts in Chat
ham, Bryan and Effingham
counties and reportedly was
picking up House support.
Shuman said he has asked
the Chatham-Savannah Metro
politan Planning Commission
to give him all data on popu
lation in Chatham County and
reported he also will seek all
voting precinct information
from Chatham Ordinary Shel
by Myrick Jr.
“I’m drawing lines so that
the western part of Chatham
County will be contiguous
with Bryan and Effingham
counties in forming the third
Senatorial District,” Shuman
said.
The Pembroke lawmaker
charged that the three Chat
ham senators prepared the
new senatorial apportionment
plan “so they wouldn’t have
to run against each other.”
Shuman said he suspected
that the Third District as ap
proved in the Senate “con
tains at least 90,000 people”
and added that this was far
above the “norjn” set by the

Jan. 18, 19. 20
Due to the fact that the
Mayor will be in Atlanta on
City Business, and to attend
the Mayor’s Day annual
meeting, the business office
of The Pembroke Journal
will be closed on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this
week. However anyone hav

The Millers will leave

Hotel, and again on Monday
for a dinner meeting. The
Mayor will have as his guest
on both occasions our Rep
resentative Jack W. Shuman.
The Mayor feels that there
are some “loose ends” that
he can get in order during his
visit to Atlanta. He intends
to explore every prospect for
anything for our little city,
and hopes to make some con
tacts that should be worth
something to our little city
in the months ahead.

Let's Support
Our March
Os Dimes
"If we had a wish to make,
we would wish a healthy and
peaceful life for every baby
born every day in Bryan
County.
"Yet, we know this cannot
yet be, therefore we con
tinue our battle against
birth defects to give all
American children a better
chance to be well born,” the
leaders of the 1968 March of
Dimes annual January cam
paign said here on the eve
of their 30th Anniversary.
“To do this, we need to do
a better job in prenatal care
and the care of premature
infants ” declared Mrs. W. O.
Newman, who is heading our
drive in Bryan County this
year. “Every year 250,000
of our children are born with
birth defects. Birth defects
affect the daily lives of 15,-
000,000 children and adults.
“Dbctors can now do a
great deal to protect the
health of pregnant women
and their unborn children.
Yet many are not taking ad
vantage of available medical
care.”
“To encourage every preg
nant woman to protect her
self and her unborn child,
The National Foundation-
March of Dimes has launch
ed a prenatal care program.
The program is coordinated
with local, state, and federal
agencies, the medfeal pro
fession and other groups.”
The March of Dimes also
supports nearly 100 Birth
Defects Research and Treat
ment Centers throughout the
country. Each Center brings
the combined skills of teams
of medical experts to bear on
the complex birth defects
problem.
These centers are made
possible by public contribu
tion. ।

IN MEMORIAM
MR. BROOKS DeLOACH
who passed away one year
ago, January 19, 1967
I cannot say, and I will not
say
That he is dead—he is just
away!
With a cherry smile, and a
wave of the hand,
He has wandered into an un
known land,
And left us dreaming how
very fair
It needs must be, since he
lingers there.
And you—O you, who the
wildest yearn
For the old time step and glad
return,
Think of him faring on, as
dear
In the love of There as the
love of Here:
Think of him still as the same,
I say:
He is not dead—he is just
away!
Sadly missed by
Wife and Children.
THANK YOU NOTE
I would like to thank my
many friends and relatives
for the lovely cards, letters,
notes, and prayers during
my illness. Your kindnesses
have meant so much to me.
May God’s blessings be with
you all.

Mothers Escalate Birth Defects War
In Nationwide March of Dimes Drive
A nationwide march,
calling for escalation and
all-out efforts to win a war,
is planned for the week of
January 21. Feelings run
high in favor of this cause
and none will oppose it.
Everyone is a hawk in the
battle against crippling birth
defects which strike a quarter
of a million newborn babies
every year in the United States.
This year, more than a mil
lion mothers have volunteered
to serve the March of Dimes
in its continuing fight against
the heartbreak of birth defects.
Marching Mothers know that
March of Dimes funds con
quered polio in the 1950 s and
freed them from fear of this
childhood crippier.
Now, determined that chil
dren handicapped by birth de
fects be given a better chance
in life, and in the hope that
unborn generations will be
spared, volunteers will march
through their neigborhoods on
behalf of the 1968 M!arch of
Dimes campaign.
They will urge people to
contribute to the important
work carried on by medical
teams at 100 March of Dimes
birth defects centers and to
support the voluntary health
organization’s research and
education programs.
For the fifth consecutive
year, actress Jane Wyatt is
serving as national chairman
of the March of Dimes Moth
ers’ March on birth defects.
As in the past, Miss Wyatt
will personally lead the drive
in her Southern California
community, calling on her
neighbors to ask them to give
to the March of Dimes.
A frequent visitor to birth
defects centers around the
country. Miss Wyatt is staunch
in her belief that the fight can
be won if enough support is
given to those who are leading
the way.
March of Dimes-financed
Centers conduct a triple attack
on birth defects—the Great
Destroyer. In addition to diag
nosis and treatment, scientists
are studying the causes of de
fects and ways of preventing
them.
No birth defect ever touches
one person alone. One Ameri
can family in 10 knows the
tragedy of a child with con
genital handicap, either men
tal or physical. For this reason,

Care Os
Your Clothes
A well-groomed look is the
result of neat, clean, becoming
garments and meticulous per
sonal grooming. One of the
factors contributing to your
appearance is the care which
you give to your clothes. If
your clothes are given the at
tention they deserve, they will
reward you in several ways:
They will keep their fresh ap
pearance longer; they will
wear better; they will ulti
mately save you time and
money; and they will help you
always to appear at your best.
In choosing clothes, consid
eration should be given to se
lecting those that are not only
becoming and appropriate, but
also easy and economical to
care for.
Every girl wants to be
dressed in the fashion accept
ed by her group. Individual
girls mSy prefer different
types of clothes. Whatever the
fad or fashion, each girl
should always choose the style
of garment that fits her per
