Warnells Host
Holiday Party
During the holiday season
friends ot Mr. and Mrs. Danny
Warnel, Mr. and Mrs. John
Stubbs, and Mr. and Mrs. John
R. Harvey were entertained at
a semi-formal party Saturday
night, Dec. 28, at the Warnell
home in Pembroke.
The Warnell home was beau
tifully decorated for the occa
sion, and guests arriving were
greeted by one of the three
hosts at the front door which
hel da large wreath made of
native cedar topped with a
flowing red bow.
Most outstanding among the
decorations was a tremendous
green Christmas tree decorated
completely in red lights and
ornaments, with life-like red
flocked birds perched upon its
branches. Also in the living
room was a five branch candel
abrum burning tall red tapers,
the base of which was encircled
with holly and red berries. The
staircase was beautiful with its
garland of Christmas greenery
caught up with pert bows of
red velvet.
In the den an arrangement
of Christmas greenery and a
large candle of blue and green
was the background for a small
realistic reindeer. An unsual
door decoration consisted of a
yardstick completely covered in
, red felt with a mischievous
. looking elf perched above gold
letters proclaiming an appro
priate Christmas message.
Above the serving table
which was covered in a white
cutwork tablecloth was a large
boxwood wreath boasting a
lovely blue satin bow. One end
of the table held a lovely crys
tal punch bowl containing cran
berry punch, and at the other
was a five branch candelabrum
burning tall red candles. The
, hostesses served an assortment
t of Christmas cakes, party sand
wiches, pickled shrimp, and
[ other delicacies of tlie season.
Including out of town and
> out of state guests, approxi

hosts joined in the holiday cele-
Clubs Decorate Welcome
Feeling that perhaps the
most important, spot in the
'Oleander District of Garden
Clubs was the Welcome Cen
ter in Savannah at the foot of
the Talmadge Bridge, the
director, Mrs. Norman L.
Ham of Pembroke planned
and executed a perfect yule
tide setting for visiting motor
ists to enjoy. She created a
“Christmas Away From
Home’’ atmosphere.
Mrs. Ham was assisted by
her daughter-in-law. Mrs. W.
Danny Warnell. They made
matching wreaths for the two
entrance doors. Every materi
al used was Georgia grown.
The wreaths were of cedar as
was the ceiling-high tree.
These were cut near Pem
broke where cedars abound. A
large red velvet bow on each
wreath symbolized red-carpet
welcome idea.
The tree was most interest
ing as it held products of
Georgia — plastic or real.
There were at least 50 small
peaches looking very real, and
some miniature pears. While
apples are not grown in this
part of the state, the North
Georgia apples are our fall
delight, and so facsimile ap
ples dangled from the branch
es. Little red tarleton bags
held home-grown pecans.
I
Pyracantha Arrangement
Besides these fruits and nuts
there were gay red and gold
satin Christmas balls on the
tree which was brilliantly
lighted. Set in the wide win
dow, the tree beckoned visi
tors to come and enjoy the
Christmas season in Savan
nah, or as our slogan goes —
“Come and stay to see beauti-
ful historic Savannah
On the counter there was
placed an arrangement of pyr
acantha foliage full of red ber
ries in a brass container. A

month of educational assistance
for each month of service for
veterans with at least 181 days
of service, including some after
Jan. 31, 1955.
Another provision of the law
which went into effect Dec. 1
grants veterans with at least 18
months of continuous service
after Jan. 31, 1955, who have
satisfied their military obliga
tion, the maximum of 36
months of educational assist
ance entitlement.
Thus, for example, a veteran
who may have entered service
before the ofricial end of the
Korean Conflict (Jan. 31, 1955),
but had only 18 months of Post-
Korean service, will still be able
to .get four academic years of
VA educational assistance.
Unchanged by this new law
is the amount of educational
assistance which a veteran may
receive. Currently, a single vet
eran taking full-time institu
tional training is paid $l3O a
nionth by the VA. The amount
of additional allowance he may
receive depends on the number
of his dependents.
Post-Korean veterans have
eight years from the date of
their separation from service to
complete training under the
third generation G.l. Bill.
Some Post-Korean veterans
have earned entitlement to edu
cational assistance under more
than one VA program — the
Korean Conflict G.l. Bill as
well as the current measure, for
example. Previously they were
limited to aggregate benefits of
36 months. Now, however, un
der the new law which went
into effect on Dec. 1 they will
be entitled to aggregate bene
fits of no more than 48 months.
The VA especially urged
Post-Korean veterans who did
not return .to school because
they could complete only a cou
ple of years of college under
the old formula—one month en
titlement for each one month
service—to contact their near
est VA office.
Gov. Maddox Sees
Hope For Future
Os The Retarded
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox participated
in recent groundbreaking cere
monies for the Orange Grove
Center for Retarded Children
in Chattanooga, Tenn, in brief
remarks, the governor said:
“This is a greatly needed
work ... By the path of pati
ence and earnest effort we can
lead many of these children into
lives that are useful to them
selves and to society.
“By the saving grace of love,
we can cause a new day to
break beyond the' darkened
gate-ways of their minds —a
new day in which hope shines
as bright as any sun.
“When each of us — gover
nors, legislators, officials ^hose
who work with these children,
and the" citizens—has done his
best, then we can be assured
that history will never judge
our generation as being morally
retarded.
“I feel sure that all involved
in this heartwarming project
will continue to do his best
We, in Georgia, pledge our sup
port and cooperation.”
In Memoriam
In loving memory of our son
LARRY J. HODGES
who passed away 1 year ago
January 6th, 1968.
God took him home it was his
Will,
But in our hearts we love
him still,
His memory is as dear today
As in the hour h epassed
away
He had a nature you could not
help loving,
And a heart that was purer
than gold
And to those who knew him
loved him,
His memory will never grow
old.
Sadly missed by Mother,
Father, Sister, Brother.
