Congratulations To Bryan County
Commissioners Over Their Victories
Now that the fus and bother of an election, in fact
two of them is over and our entire Board of County Com
missioners for Bryan County have all been re-elected for
another four years after one or the other having to under
go a fight to hold the job. (which is a thankless one, with
just chicken change for your service, and a million dollars
worth of cussing and abuse from your enemies), but that
is the way of life of any official serving the people.
Few people know just what the average official has
to do to satisfy the public (which none of them do),
very often not satisfying their friends, but we for one
fee! that we are an authority on (catching hell) from
your enemies and at times, some of your friends because
you don't do each and everything that the average citizen
thinks you ought to do.
For the past 40 years we have been very close to the
ruling officials of our county, and without a doubt we
believe we TODAY have the best, most conscientious
set of County Commissioners that we have ever seen,
they appear to us as having but one desire and that i«
serve ALL of Bryan County, from the other end of the
county to the Bay District in Bulloch. And that is just
what they should do. They believe in helping the little
municipalities in the county (Pembroke and Richmond
Hill), which they should as the citizens of these two little
cities not only pay City Taxes but also County Taxes, and
their property is valued higher and therefore their
County Taxes are higher than those in the rural areas
We remember when we went before the Board of County
Commissioner- asking for a little help in the City and
was told “let the City do it, they levy taxes”, but they
did not remember also that the little city people also
paid County Taxes and were entitled to be treated dif
ferent from what we were being treated.
Today and for the past four years, and Thank God
for the next four years we have a Board of County Com
missioners serving ALL the people of the Districts
throughout the County and also aiding the little cities

OUR BRYAN REPUBLICAN FRIENDS DID
NOT DO SO WELL IN GENERAL ELECTION
Bryan County citizens got together some months ago and
formed the Bryan County Republic^.. Party, to carry forth >
the fight of the Republicans- to take over the national politics,
state politics and local Bryan County politics also. ,
They had the advice and counsel of the neighboring Re- ,
publican big-wigs as well as those seeking office, and it was
not long before they had opposition to some of our local
officials, and there was much ado by them, knowing that
they would be a winner in two of the races outside of Bryan.
But the voters of Bryan County did not go along with that
program, and it is interesitng to see that the Bryan County
Republican Party lost every candidate that they supported
by a vote of about 4 to 1.
Their Presidential candidate got 381 to the winners vote
of 1424,
Their Congressional candidate got 403 votes to the Demo
cratic candidate 1686.
Their Senatorial candidate got 205, to the Democratic
candidates 1970.
Their State Senatorial Candidate got 403 to the Demo
cratic Candidates 1553.
Their County Commissioner (at large) got 494, to the
Democratic Candidates 1614.
y " stice of the Peafe for the 1380th District got
353 to the Democratic candidates 1551.
? eir candidate for Constable in the 1380th District got
409 to the Democratic candidates 1515.
They fought Amendment (29 and got 443 against it, and
those voting in favor of this amendment got 1008.
This will probably wind up the little ball of yam of our

Ye Editor Back
On Job After
An Operation
The Editor of The Pembroke
Journal entered Candler Hos
pital last Wednesday afternoon
and was operated on early
Thursday morning for the re
mov a 1 of a “lesion” on his
throat, which had the looks of
being “beligerent,” and we are
awaiting the report to see
whether it was “bad” or not.
The Doctors all gave us encour
aging reports that it did not
look so.
We enjoyed our stay at
Candler Hospital, and when we
were rolled in the operating
room, there was a nurse in
there, all wrapped up and ready
for the operation, she looked at
us and asked if we were not
Hawkeye Miller” and we ad
mitted that we were, then she
said that she had danced with
us at square dances in the old
court house at Clyde many
years ago. She was a V ise and
married a Wise. Mr. P- -ss Wise
was an uncle of herjs.
Our Surgeon, Dr. 'eLaney
was thirty-five mini es per
forming the operation and af
terwards told us that if every
thing went alright that we
could probably come home on
Friday. He came by Friday
about 11 and discharged us. We
will go back next Thursday af
ternoon to have the stitches re
moved.
While our neck is real sore,
as could be expected after the
cutting it got, but we are
thankful to be back home, with
a better outlook on life ahead
than we had. Our family and
friends were real good to us
while in Candler, the food was
the best we ever got, in fact we
cleaned the plate each time. If
you have to go to the hospital,
you cannot beat Candler Hos
pital in Savannah and we have
been in many, including Johns
Hopkins in Baltimore.
in peace.
"In our search for peace dur
ing the bombing halt and
throughout the duration of the
Paris negotiations, our prime
concern must remain the same
as it always has been, and that
is to protect our fighting men
in the battlefield,” Sen. Tai
madge declared.
“We want to see an end to
the fighting and we want our
diplomats in Paris to look af
ter the best interests of the
United States, but at the same,
time we do not want any un
necessary loss of American lives
in Vietnam during the peace
talks,” he added, commenting
that “the lesson of Korea, the
so-called peace talks and the
tremendous loss of lives there
must not be forgotten.”
Sen. Talmadge said he hoped
the Communists have “at last
come to realize the futility of
continued warfare” in Vietnam.
“I hope the Hanoi regime will
demonstrate more good faith in
the present efforts than it has
in the past, and if this should
prove not to be the case, then
the United States must not
hesitate to renew vigorous
prosecution of this war and
take whatever action is neces
sary to protect American sol <
diers,” he said emphatically.

electric heat.
Any heating system will give you heat. But if heat
comes in hot blasts, with cold spells in between,
it’s not comfortable.
After all, your own temperature is a pretty con
stant thing. Is the temperature constant in each
room of your home? It will be with electric heat.
Not for just a few moments, but until you decide
to change the temperature. And a simple flick of
the thermostat does that.
Electric heat offers you room-by-room control
or a central system. Either way, the temperature
stays within one degree of the thermostat setting.
It’s that little extra comfort that makes electric
heat so nice. Especially for the little things in life.
