J. R. Deloach Is
Recuperating At
Pembroke Home
Monday afternoon we visit
ed our good friend J. R. (Jim
mie) DeLoach in his home
where he is recuperating from
a heart condition, and has
bee" told by his doctor that
he must take it quietly for
at least three months. At the
present time he gets up and
walks around his home and
spends a great deal of time
in bed. He plans on going
outside later in the week, just
for a short trip.
In the next couple of weeks
he hopes to be able to get out
and ride a little, and then
gradually “learn to drive
again,” and do a limited
amount of that.
Jimmie is taking his time
at home in good spirits and
told us that he was doing just
what his doctor ordered, be
cause he realizes that he has
a heart condition, and knows,
that the way to get along was
1 to follow the doctor’s orders.
' He says if you are not going
• to do that, you do not need a
doctor, and we thoroughly
agree with him.
! He appreciates his friends
calling to see him and the
telephone calls, also the many
' nice flowers and other gifts
that his friends have sent him.

Official notice has been re
ceived in Pembroke that Mack
Hagin, of Lanier has been
named as permanent rural ‘
letter carrier to fill the job
. that the late G. C. Bacon
- held. The job has been open
' for about two years and has
> been carried by Norman
. Bacon, who was the substitute
" carrier, and who made a good
one, in fact he was one of
the most popular postal of
ficials that we have ever
. known, but who failed to be |
. in the top three when the ex
, amination for the job was held.
Mr. Hagin was a disabled vet,
and this along with his exam
, ination he was high man on
the list.
j Congressman G. Elliott Ha
gin made the appointment and i
word was received in Pern- I
r broke Tuesday morning, say
। ing that the appointment I
I would become effective Satur- *
I day, January 18. Mr. Hagin

three days attending the var
ious affairs that the Commis
sioners have planned, meet

That is the way to keep

Steel Plant Gets Railroad Siding
Below are four pictures of the railroad siding that has just been completed by the railroad and the Pembroke
Steel Company, and shows some of the first cars that brought heavy loads of steel into the plant, which was
unloaded by overhead cranes, and placed where it could be handled. The first picture shows Mr. McCullough,
father of one of the officials of the Steel Company, and a retired railroad employee who built the side track
through the plant. The next picture shows the inside of the plant showing some of the steel that had just been
unloaded, this shows the cars on the side track and a view of the Steel Plant. The next picture is one of a
string of cars that had just been unloaded, and the little lady on the mound of dirt is the “spark plug" of the
Steel Plant, as it is she that gets the General Manager, Dennis Nelson out of bed and on the job. It is teamwork
that is making this business gor forward.

Game With SEB
Was Humdinger
The basketball game last
Friday night with Southeast
Bulloch proved to be one of
our best (most enjoyable) as
we really put a skinning on
the boys team from Southeast
Bulloch. We lost the girls
game, but made up for lost
time when we turned our
boys loose on the boys from
SEB.
The Gym was filled to cap
acity, both teams had their
friends there, and they saw
a very good game, with more
action than is usually packed
in a half dozen games. If
anyone could not enjoy last
Friday night’s basketball
game, it was just because his
team was the losing one.
Ye Editor was there and of
course we were with the win
ning side in the boys game,
as we did not expect to beat
them in the girls game. First
we were playing out of our
class, and playing one of the
strongest teams, who has a^
ways got a great deal of plea
sure out of beating our teams,
which they do not always do,
much to their sorrow.
The fans were enthusiastic
for their teams, but there was
not a thing in the entire time
to happen that would cause
us any worry, it was a meet
ing of friendly teams but t ■
win, and giving of their best.

Time To Sign
Up For Woodland
Improvement
It is again the time of the
year to sign up for that much
needed woodland improvement
work for your forests through
your County ASC Office. These
ACP Practices will help finance
this work in many cases.
Whether it is a scrub oak hill
which needs converting back
into Pine, an area needing to be
prescribe burned, an area of
young Pine too thick to grow
and needing pre-commercial
thinning, or just land not being
needed for anything else you
plan to plant in trees, your ASC
Office has cost-sharing prac
, tices which might be available
to you through application.
Let’s be realistic, Mr. Land
owner, with property taxes go
ing up each year, can you real
ly afford to let these non-po
ducing acres continue to re
main as they are ?
For information on what
practices to apply for, or any
other timber Management prob
lems, contact your County For
est Ranger and he will contact
me for this county.

City Making Fine
Progress-Soon
Have Sewerage
The City of Pembroke seems
to have struck things right
and have bright promise of
getting our assistance to give
to Pembroke a first class
sewerage system. At a meet
ing of the City Council on
Monday night plans were dis
cussed for the erection of an
other water tank, one that
would have a capacity of
about 250,000 gallons, which
would probably be five times
the capacity of our present
one.
The reports on our fight for
funds for sewerage are very
bright, and we expect to have
ample funds awarded us by
March Ist. The Housing Pro
ject is 0.k., bids have been
taken and “technically” the
contract awarded, but really
has not been signed as yet,
but will be in a few days.
This will mean the immediate
start on the 38 houses that
the Government is putting in
here, and we have promises of
more soon.
There is a movement to
build 50 houses here, which
will be leased by the Federal
Government and will house
the additional men needed op
this side of Fort Stewart,
which has a mammoth outfit
just two and one half miles
from Pembroke.
There are two firms that
are clamoring to get started
with the erection of their
plants in our area East of
the city which has been made
into a place where these fac
tories and plants can be locat
ed. Yes, it looks good to us,
after months of hard work by
many, it looks as if we are
going to get some benefits
that will mean much to our
little city and community.
