FHA Sends Gifts
To BCHS Grads
By WANDA GAINES
The BCHS Chapter of the
Future Homemakers of Amer
ica has sent Christmas pack
ages to the graduates of BCHS
who are now serving in the
armed forces in Vietnam.
Susan Lane has accepted the
responsibility of sending the
packages as one of her projects
which will help her earn her
state degree.
According to the FHA Club
reporter, this project requires
much time and planning as
these packages are sent to all
BCHS graduates in Vietnam.
“Although inexpensive items
are sent, the servicemen really
seem to appreciate them more
because they know they are not
forgotten by those at home,”
Susan remarked.
Susan has taken a very deep
interest in this project and has
worked hard to fulfill her goal,
the club reports.
According to the club report
er, this is just one of the many
beneficial projects the local
FHA undertakes to strengthen
the community and the people
who live in it.

CAPT. BERRY BRAGGS
ON BARBECUE
To The Editor,
Pembroke Journal
Dear Sir:
A week ago Saturday it was
my pleasure to attend a Bar-B-

It took a lot of know-how and
time to reach such a peak of
perfection; and all the gracious
ladies and pretty matrons who
served.
The children looked so nice,
bright eyed and bushy tailed,
well scrubbed, well mannered
and well loved.
And their fine young preach
er, the Rev. Claude Cook, who
well complements his congrega
tion. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Capt. E. M. Berry, Ret.
