City Officials
Active With Plans
For Sewerage
Now that it is a fact that
Pembroke has gotten a grant
for improvements in our water
facilities, which includes a
new water tank to add to the
one we already have, and to
install sewerage, the Mayor
and Ciuncil are leaving noth
ing undone to get the program
underway.
We are working with Sewell
Associates in bringing our
plans up to date, as there has
been many changes in the city
in the past year or more, and
they are being added to the
prospectus which will have to
be approved, and which will
also add water and sewer
customers to our system, mak
ing the sale of our Revenue
Certificates, which we plan to
issue to get the cash needed
by the City to supplement the
grant and do the job.
When it is finally let to con
tract we think we will have a
set up that will satisfy most
of our people. We realize that
there are those that will “belli
ache” about one thing or an
other. but we are not worry
ing about this. The Mayor
and every member of our City
Council is determined to do
the best job possible for our
little city.
We hope to have the plans
ready so that we can advertise
for bids for the construction
of our new water facilities
and a modern sewerage sys
tem for a growing little city
in about 90 days, but it is go
ing to take hard work on the
part of everyone.
Our people are happy over
the City having been given
this grant, which means that
the City of Pembroke is get
ting $449,400.00 as a grant,
which is for FREE, and we
have to furnish the additional
money needed for the job,
which we are assured of being
able to do. Yes, it is a great
day for Pembroke.

State Men Raid
Pembroke Home
Get The Goods
As much as we hate to say
so, Pembroke was found to be
a “wet city” on Sunday night
when State Agent Homer Jen
kins raided a house right here
in the City Limits and come
up with 85 gallons of joy
water.
It was in a home out back
of the Pembroke Manufactur
ing Company, and when the
state men went in they found
a five gallon jug of liquor at
the head of a bed, they found
25 one gallon jugs of moon
shine in a card board box
with some dirty clothes thrown
in on them, and then lo and
behold they went “skyward”,
that is they ascended a built
in ladder to the attic, where
they discovered 11 five gal
lon jugs of the “joy juice”.
It was carried to the sheriff’s
office where it was all de
stroyed, or poured out except
enough to hold for evidence.
A young Bryan County man
was placed under a SSOO bond
to answer in court to the
charge of possessing 85 gal- .
lons of moonshine, contrary to ,
the law, peace and dignity
thereof.

Fires Here
We have just learned thaj
the Fire Marshall has been in
Pembroke, investigating the
burning of some homes in
Bryan County, and that they
have some good leads and we
understand that it is possible
that arrests will soon be made.
It is the work of some of
our “sorriest” citizens, to go
out and burn vacant homes,
just to see them go up in
smoke.
The Journal just hopes that
they will catch the “rascals”
and that they will receive the
full punishment for their mis
deeds.

Housing Project
About To Get
Started Here
An office trailer has been
moved in on the site of the
proposed housing site where
38 low rent homes will be
built for those eligible. The
superintendent of the project
has moved his trailer in and
he and his wife are living here,
and say that they look for
ward to living here about a
year.
Some help has been hired,
but most of their help will be
their own labor that works
with them from one job to
another. The firm that is
building our houses is a big
outfit and have several other
projects underway at the pre
sent time. And they do busi
ness all over the United States.
They know what they are do
ing and know how to get
things done.
As Mayor of Pembroke we
wish to say that we are in
deed fortunate in getting the
work done by the contracting
firm that was the successful
bidder, we believe that they
will give us a first class job
and that there will be no
“messing around”, that they
are going to get started and
finish the job in the allotted

The Editor
On Education
“Ye Editor” is not able to
read everything that comes
from the Legislature in At
lanta . . . But I have studied
the proposal put forth by the
General Assembly and those
from the Georgia Education
Association.
In a “nutshell”, it appears
that the State Department of
Education will get a share of
the $214 million increase, But
not in proportion to what they
are now receiving.
“Us Adults” have managed
to get the world in some kind
of shape ... deadbeats,
hippies, yippies, demonstra
tors, rioters, etc.
If any of the citizens of
i Bryan County have any con
> nections or influence in At
■ lanta, write or call and ex
> press your opinion.
George Peabody, the noted
■ educator once said, “Education
is a debt we owe to future
generations.”

bur most precious possession.
