Dedication of Steel Plant Big Affair -Urge Crowd
.Friday, October 25th Was One Os Biggest Days Ever In Bryan
Progress Shown To All
Regardless of the fact that
K ‘Old Betsy” known to many as
| The Savannah Morning News,
i reported tHat there were 400,
| when everyone knows that
I there was more than 1500 pres-
I ent. We used 2000 Barbecue
I Plates, but we realized that
I many were wasted.
Everyone but “Old Betsy”
| has told us that it was a big
I success, that there was an extra
I large turnout of people, and
I complimented Mayor Frank O.
J Miller who was more or less
■ the “guiding spirit” of this as-
Ifair, our friends were happy,
I the Pembroke Steel Company
I officials were happy, and those
■ that came here and had a part
and BRYAN COUNT!AN Consolidate. OecHmher 29, 19E7
OFFICIAL ORGAN BRYAN COUNTY and THE CITY OF PEMBROKE
PEMBROKE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1968
in the program were high in
their praise of the large turn
out, the long barbecue pit with
the pigs cooking, and the way
everything was handled. We ad
mit we had some trouble get
ting the plates served, and
those that volunteered to help
us will tell you that there were
hundreds in their lines for food.
The only disappointing feat
ure was that as always “some
hogs,” who are human being
was there and if left alone
would have carried off hams,
shoulders, etc., one Pembroke
lady was at the pit with three
plates of barbecue in her hand
and having one of the colored
men cut her off a ham to put
in a sack where she already
, had a shoulder, but the Mayor
showed up about that time and
had the ham and shoulder put
I back on the barbecue pit. Oth-
I ers acted a little ugly about
। carrying off the food, but we
have learned long ago that you
have got to put up with things
like this.
I We do not claim for a min
| ute that every thing ran as
I smooth as “greased lightning,”
but all in all we say it was a
big day for Bryan County and
will mean much to us in the
months ahead.
There were representatives
of two new plants present, with
। plans of buildings that they
want to erect on the 51 acre
Development Plat, and they
were loud in the praise of what
they saw. One of them was a
“big wheel” of one of the plants,
that came down from New York
by air, in order to be here with
| us.
We regret that “Old Betsy”
I had to hit us a lick beneath the
belt, but she is only living up
to her record, and the country
people know not to pay any at
tention to anything they say
about county affairs, or coun
i ty people. They are “agin” the
■ country people. We all know
that.

| Ed Jordan, President of the

County Officials to meet with

UNICEF DONATIONS
BEING RECEIVED
Members of the Methodist
MYF took advantage of the
traditional Halloween trick or
treat activity Friday night in
order to collect money for
Unicef, the United Nations In
ternational Childrens Emerg
ency Fund.
Prior to the collection cam
paign members met at the
Methodist Church to enjoy an
outdoor wiener roast from 7:30
to 8:30. Sonney Owens, counsel
or, was joined by Randy Ussery
in providing guitar music for
the group to have a campfire
sing.
Transportation for the young
people took the form of a hay
ride through the town from
8:30 to 10 p.m. to receive
Nnicef donations. Time and cold
weather limited the number of
houses canvassed by the MYF.
If the youngsters failed to
knock on your door it is not yet
too late to make a contribution
to Unicef, according to Mrs.
Sonny Owens, counselor.
“To aid these children who
seldom have the very necessi
ties of life, and lend a hand to
the emergency needs, contact
Mr. and Mrs. Owens at 4 <42,
or Miss Kay Bazemore, MYF
president at 4416. Your dona
tion will be appreciated,” Mrs.
Owens said.
“The donationsn the MYF
worked so hard to receive re
sulted in a collection of $31.00.
We were proud that -our young
people did so well with their
project, but the amount seems
small compared to the great
need,” Mr. Owens commented.
“The rest is up to the public
to contribute what they feel is
their fair share.”
MYF young people partici
pating in the UNICEF drive
were Kay Bazemore, Randy
Ussery, Carter Harn, David
Harn, Buddy Miller, Lynn and
Cindy Quattlebaum, Doug Zim
merman, Linda Williamson,
Mike Butler, Steve Harvey,
Nancy and Debra Alford, Don
Owens, Kenny Meekins, David
Fountain, Beth Hattaway, Mar
cia and Debbie Owens, Kay and

> elected from the young citizens
of this all-boy community. It
