Club Reports
Many Activities
Mrs. L. M. Anderson, Mrs, U.
J. Bacon, and Mrs. Marjorie
Jones served as hostesses at
the Pembroke Garden Club’s
regular meeting Oct. 17 at the
community house.
Following an inspiration giv
en by Mrs. W. W. Pickett, a
program on Garden Therapy
was presented by Mrs. N. L.
Ham,
“The purpose of Garden
Therapy,” Mrs., Ham explained,
“is to give pleasure and service
to others. This may be done by
working in mental hospitals,
local cancer homes, homes for
the aged, veteran hospitals,
homes for the blind, and adult
and juvenile correctional insti
tutions.”
Mrs. Ham stressed the im
portance of programs and work
for each Garden Club in Geor
gia each year.
Members answered the roll
call by giving the name of a
shut-in in the Pembroke com
munity. They were asked to do
some kind deed for the neigh
borhood shut-ins and report it
at the next meeting.
Mrs. L. M. Anderson, presi
dent, presided over the busi
ness meeting, with routine re
ports given. Mrs. Charles War
nell was welcomed back into
the club as a member.
As Oleander District Direc
tor, Mrs. Ham gave a fascinat
ing account of the recent Olean
der District meeting at the De-
Soto Hilton in Savannah. She
expressed appreciation to the 18
representatives from the club
who attended, and also to Mrs.
Dan Blitch of Blitchton, a new
member,
Mrs. Ham, Pembroke Garden
Club Awards Chairman, re
quested all members to study
the awards eligibility list in the
Nov.-Dec. 1967 issue of Garden
Gateway's magazine.
“We have done the work, now
let us receive the awards at the
State Convention in Savannah
next April,”” Mrs. Ham encour
aged her fellow garden club
members.
The Pembroke Garden Club
has undertaken a new project
under World Gardening. Each
member is to contribute one
dollar which will go towards
the purchase of 27 pounds of
stables to make up a CARE
package. This Care food pack
age will feed hungry family
refugees and school children.
Several members have already
contributed to this worthy cause
and the other members who will
contribute are expected to make
our club 100% in contribution.
Mrs. W. L. Humphries an

ing Magazine has presented an
opportunity for a club money
making project. Under their
subscription program one-half
of the subscription charges will
remain in the club treasury for
use by the club. Subscription

Futch Reunion
.
At Legion Home
.
Sun. A Big One
One of the largest crowds
ever to attend one of the Futch
reunions was on hand Sunday
at the American Legion Home
in Pembrok,e they came for
miles, and there was the most
good food that Ye Editor ever
met up with, It was a job as
you passed up and down the
long tables just what food to
take. There was plenty of tur
key and dressing, chicken and
dumplings, ham what am, and
all the other good things that
- these little ladies had gotten
together,
There is one thing we like
and that is getting invited to
big affairs where good food is
served, and we have been an
attendant at the Futch reunions
for years, and hope to be there
for years to come. We had only
one trouble, our little plate just
would not hold all we wanted
to put on it, so we had to make
several trips back, and we are
sure that there was some “deli
cious” food that we just did not
try to sample.
A few outsiders like the May
or of Pembroke and his wire
were there, Mr., and Mrs, D, E.
Medders was invited guests as
was the John Joyner family. In
fact all of these are considered
as part of the “Futch family,”
and we are all expected to at
tend.
It is affairs like this that
keeps families in touch with one
another. Sunday was a special
delight to Ye Editor for he met
and old friend who went to the
First District Agricultural
School, now Georgia Southern
in 1907 and 1908, he was a
former resident of Bryan hav
ing been raised in the Little
Creek section, but now lives in
Statesboro, he was Alex Futch,
he was accompanied by a
grandson who is a professor at
Georgia Southern. Alex and F.
0. was roommates one year. We
had not seen him in 50 years,
" his grandson came up and told
us that his grandfather wanted
to talk to us.
It was a happy occasion for
both of us.

Army Band Will Be Here To
Entertain The Crowd Who
Will Be Here For The Affair
As the days go by it begins to look as if Pembroke
will have the biggest affair here Friday, October 25,
when the new Pembroke Steel Plant will be dedicated.
And entertainment and food is being arranged for the big
affair, and we promise you that there will not be a short
age of either.
It is an honor to have Georgia’s Governor to take
time out from his busy affairs of state to come to Pem
proke and deciate our new enterprise, the Pembroke
Steel Company, which is just beginning to take shape,
but who are actually filling orders for steel over many
of the southern states. Their plant will be modern in
every respect, this week-end the mammoth steel hoist
that will roll around on over-head tracks and move the
huge pieces of steel from place to place, as if they only
weighed a hundred pounds and actually weigh tons. This
mammoth crane weighs more than 25 tons itself, still it
will move around like a baby carriage.
The lads around the plant are taking shape, while
there is still much to do, it makes a fine appearance
and we are sure that our people will be astonished to
know just what is going on.
The barbecue will be prepared right at the plant, and
will be in charge of Harley Surrency, one of Bryans best
colored citizens who has been barbecuing for the people
for nigh unto fifty years. He will have all the help he
needs. There will be free c(fites, served by good looking
litttle Jaycettes who have velunteered to assist in the
work of serving those present with the delicious cold
Cloca-Cola. You know things go better with Coke.
The band from Fort Stewart-Hunter AFB will ar
rive about 1:30 and be set up to entertain the crowd with
some of the finest band music that can be given. This
band has 38 menr in it and it is one of the best Military
bands today. .
Remember that all the speaking, etc., including the
serving of the barbecue will be under the huge top of
the plant, and there will be no trouble should a shower
show up, or the sun was to get too hot. There will be
a loud speaker system set up so that everyone can hear
with ease all the program.
Make your plans to come to Pembroke Friday after
noon October 25, which we think will be one of the
biggest days in our history. It is planned to announce
the name of other businesses that are going to locate in
our 51 acre Industrial Park.
