REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
THE PRESIDENT, in his wide-ranging State of the Union '
address, naturally placed a great deal of emphasis on the two
top problems facing America today—Viet Nam and crime.
The desire he expressed to pursue every possible avenne for
peace in Viet Nam is the hope and prayer of all Americans. The
people want peace and would welcome any meaningful oppor
tunity that would result in an honorable settlement and an end
to Communist aggression in Southeast Asia.
But at the same time; as the President pointed out, the
United States should be wary of being duped into taking any
action that would jeopardize the security of our fighting men in
Viet Nam. So long as these Americans are committed to the
battlefield, our first concern should be their lives and safety.
And in view of the unwillingness of Hanoi to talk peace, we
ought to step up prosecution of the war and meet force with
more force in order to show the Communists that we do not
intend to tuck tail, and that continued aggression is futile.
♦ ♦ ♦
THE LOUDEST APPLAUSE came during the President’s
attack on crime. As Congress knows, the people are indeed fed
up with increasing lawlessness and mob violence.
I support very strongly efforts to improve law enforcement
and to provide more financial aid and additional laws where they
are needed. But at the same time, there are abundant laws al
ready on the books to deal with much of the lawlessness we have
been witnessing in the past two or three years.
If we are going to restore respect for law and order, these
laws must be enforced whenever and wherever they are violated.
People who break the law and people who preach against the law
urging others to take the law into their own hands must be dealt
with according to the law.
♦ » »
DOMESTIC SPENDING and the proposed tax increase are
two other top priority complaints of the American people. Al.l of
us are concerned about the domestic welfare of our citizens, and
we want to alleviate the social and economic problems that hold
back some of the people.
But I find it difficult to accept new and increased spending
at a time when the war in Viet Nam’has driven the defense
buJgut close to SJU> billion. The time is long overdue to estab
lish priorities, to put first things first, and to cut hack all non
essential spending for the duration of the war.
I am not willing to impose more laxe on the people until
this determination is demonstrated.

TO THE CITIZENS OF BRYAN COUNTY
I realize that at this time our people are grieved over the
death of our sheriff, Hon, Kyle D. Smith, who passed away on
Monday following surgery in Candler Hospital in Savannah.
This has necessitated the appointment of an Acting Sheriff,
Hon. N. L. Ham of Pembroke, who I am sure will give the of
fice his best services, and I as a Deputy will give him my
whole hearted cooperation as I have given to Sheriff Smith in
the past.
Now is no time to make an announcement, but I wish to
call the attention of the good people of Bryan County to my
service as a Deputy under Sheriff Kyle D. Smith for many
years, and feel that fits me for the place, therefore I am ask
ing that the good people wait until next weeks Pembroke
Journal is issued, at which time I will state my position, and
possibly ask their support for the high office of Sheriff.
Sincerely,
CARkOS M. JONES
tin of Richmond Hill and
Mrs. Freer Davis and Mrs.
Willie Wise, both of Savan
nah; a brother Leland Hine
ly of Richmond Hill, three
grandchildren and a number
of nieces and nephews.
Funeral services for Mr.
Hinely were held on Monday
afternoon at 3 p.m. at the
Bryan Neck Presbyterian
Church with the Rev. Robert
E. Barnes officiating. Inter
ment was in the churchyard
cemetery. Active pallbear
ers were Wade Martin, Ai
mar Martin, Jean Martin,
Thomas Darieng, Theow
Darieng, and Leland Hinely.
Honorary pallbearers were
James Butler, Homer Hine
ly. Norwood Baker and Dave
Sutton.
'I Bryan's Sheriff Passes Away
The death of Sheriff Kyle D. Smith of Bryan County
was a shock to his many friends throughout the Coastal
Empire.
Ye Editor had visited the Sheriff in Candler Hospital in
Savannah on Saturday and Sunday at which time he was
in good spirits and thought that it would be only a short
time before he could return home and take hold of his
duties as Sheriff, and was there again on Monday after
noon but the Sheriff was asleep, but his wife said he was
getting along nicely.
But fate deemed it otherwise, he passed away evident
ly from a heart attack around nine o’clock Monday night.
Sheriff Smith was a popular official and had been
Sheriff of Bryan County for 15 years and 1 month when
death took him. He was a strong man and his friends
rallied to him in his various campaigns, which attested to
his popularity within Bryan County.
During recent years the Editor of The Journal who
has been Mayor most of the time for the past 15 years
worked very close with the Sheriff and never did we have
a man that cooperated with us better than Sheriff Smith did.
His shoes will be hard to fill, but we are sure that
some good man will aspire to the job and make our county
a fine sheriff.
The Acting Sheriff who has been appointed by Bryan’s
Ordinary, Mrs. Florene Elrick, is one of Bryan County’s
best citizens, and a man that has no aspirations to be sheriff,
but who consented to take the job as Acting Sheriff for the
period of time to call and elect a sheriff for the place?
It was thought best and fairest to one and all to give the
Acting Sheriffs job to a man that would not be a candidate
in the Called Election, which will probably be held the
middle of March. And that is just the kind of man that
our acting sheriff is, he wouldn’t have the full time job
as sheriff off a Christmas Tree. He is a fine citizen and
we compliment Mrs. Elrick for appointing him to the job,
and making it possible for one and all that desires to make
the race to run in the primary to be held later this year
for the full four year term.
Why The Nancy
Loses Money
The Central of Georgia
Railway has been trying to
do something to build up the
patronage between Savan
nah and Atlanta for the
Nancy. They have recently
added a “bubble” car where
the passengers have a better
look at the scenery as the
train rolls along on its way
to and fro between Savan
nah and Atlanta.
The Editor of The Journal
has long been a friend of the
Central, but we can easily
understand why the Nancy
is not doing the business that
it could and should do.
We are going to give our
experiences in the past few
days with the Nancy, and we
are supe that the public will
agree that something, some
where should be done to re
lieve the situation. First we
went to Springfield last Fri
day night to meet our grand
daughter, a student at Emory
who was coming for a week
end visit with the Millers at
Needmore Farm. The train
was scheduled to get to
Spring fie Id at 11:30 at
night, so we got to the de
pot a few minutes before that
time, it was cold as “blue
blazes”, below 30 degrees,
there was no one in or
around the depot, but there
was a light outside. The
train did not come, and after
about thirty minutes the
light automatically went off
at the depot, and wc got out
on the street hunting a tele
phone, found one but it was
out of order.
We ran the engine in our
car to keep comfortable, and
at two o’clock we went to
our daughters home, woke
them and a telephone
| call was put through to Sa
vannah and a colored man
said that the train was about
three hours late due to a de
railment of a freight train.
It finally came in about
twenty five minutes to three.
We were planning on carry
the granddaughter back to
Springfield Sunday morning
to catch the Nancy back to
Atlanta, but on Saturday
when we saw the Nancy
come through Pembroke,
which it does often, we de
cided that we had better take
her to Savannah, fearing that
she would be stranded in
Springfield, and knowing
that the Nancy would not
stop in Pembroke.
Sunday morning we got up
early and headed for Savan
nah, and went to the ticket
office and asked for a ticket
to Springfield, meaning for
the granddaughter to use her
ticket from Springfield on to
Atlanta. But was informed
that we could not buy a
ticket to Springfield, because
they did not sell any for
stopping there.
We explained why we were
buying the ticket, as we had
a ticket on to Atlanta and
came to Savannah to be sure
that the little girl could get
on the Nancy. Then the
ticket agent Mr. Sutton very
obligingly told us that he
would not require a ticket,
and would give her a reser
vation in the Bubble car, and
away we went to get on the
train, but lo and behold we
ran into an “obstreperous”
conductor. He told the little
lady that she would have to
pay $1.03 for the ride to
Springfield, which we had
offered to do, but w’hen the
ticket agent understood the
situation, he gave a reserva
tion and said for the little
girl to tell the conductor that
she would not have to have
< a ticket to Springfield. Then
this conductor said “he can’t
tell me what to do”, you must
pay me $1.03, which we did,
and he promised to give the
little girl a receipt when the
train got to moving.
With the experiences we
have we do not wonder at
the people seeking other
ways to travel. We told the
granddaughter when she
wanted to come to see us
* again to fly down by Delta
and we would foot the bill.
The railroad should have
some way of letting people
who are out in the cold, dark
night waiting for the Nancy
that it is coming or not com--
ing, and not treat them as
“red headed step children”,
because we like many others
have learned that there is
more ways to get to and
from Atlanta besides the
Nancy.
Lo and behold, we were
astonished on Sunday morn
ing after putting the grand
daughter on the Nancy in Sa
vannah, rather than Spring
field, to see the Nancy come
by Pembroke. If we had
gone to Springfield, she
would have been stranded
there and lost being in her
clesses at Emory on Monday.
Miss Lula McGahee is ill
at home suffering with the
flu. However she is improv
ing and her friends hope for
her a complete recovery
| soon.

Dates Set For
1968 Commodity
Program Signups
Signup dates for farmers in
Bryan County who wish to
take part in the 1968 feed
grain, wheat and cotton pro
grams have been announced
by H. L. Page, Chairman,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation County Com
mittee.
All commodity program
signups will be held during
the same period — February
5 through March 15. Signup
applications indicate the farm
er’s program intentions, in
cluding the extent of his par
ticipation in the programs.
Under both the feed grain
and cotton programs for 1968,
farmers may earn diversion
and price-support payments as
well as qualify for price-sup
port loans on their corn and
grain sorghum crops; feed
grain diversion payments will
be available to all program
participants in 1968. The
wheat program bring returns
up to full parity on the part,
of the wheat crop allocated
for domestic use; no diversion
payment is available for
wheat.
While the signup period for
1968 commodity programs will
extend through 6 weeks, the
Chairman urged that farmers
who wish to take part in the
programs file their applica
tions as soon as they decide
on 1968 production plans.
“Time has a habit of getting
away from us sometimes be
fore we know it, so it's a good
idea not to delay in filing pro
gram intentions,” he said.
The variety discount price
support program will be con
tinued for the 1968 crop of
flue-cured tobacco, according
to H. L. Page, Chairman,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation County Commit
tee. Purpose of the program
is to discourage production of
certain flue-cured varieties
which tend to produce tobacco
with low flavor and aroma.
The price - support loan
value of discount varieties is
set at 50 percent of the loan
value for comparable grades
of other varieties. Discount
varieties are Coker 139, Cok
er 140, Dixie Bright 244,
Reams 64, Coker 316, Golden

Subscribers Still
Behind With
The Journal
As much as we hate to, it
is going to be necessary to
take many names from our
mailing list, because our
friends have just neglected
sending in their renewal sub
scription. This is made nec
essary, first because it is a
ruling of the post office de
department that all subscrip
tions must be paid in ad
vance, and second, because
the cost of sending the paper

the type set. pictures made
and printed, until it is nec
essary that we get our money
for all our subscribers to get
the paper.
We have great plans on :
making the paper a much i
better one, but friends it :
takes money to do this and I
also live, for “believe it or ■
not" it does take some money I
for Ye Editor and wife to '
“exist” on.
That is the hardest job we j
have in getting out The
Journal, and that is taking I
ing the names off of our list, i
of a friend that has been
getting the paper, and who
we are sure wishes to con
tinue getting it. but who has
just gotten careless about
paying for the paper.
If our subscribers will
only look on their paper
where it is addressed to them,
they will find some figures
like the following, 10-1-67,
which means that their sub
scription expired the first
day of October 1967. And
also check it after you have
paid us, and see if we have
marked your paper up. We
sometimes “forget”, or just
get careless and fail to mark
your paper up. If you would
remind us that we have fail
ed to mark your paper up, it
would keep down some
trouble for all concerned. We
