MEDDERS Key Questions Answered For Local Farmers What are the limiting fac tors in soybean production? How can you increase aver age yields by ten bushels and thereby probably double net profits? These are just a couple of the many questions that will be answered in the new Ex tension Service soybean pro gram coming to Bryan Coun ty, at the Courthouse Thurs day night, March 20, “Soy beans for Cash,” an in-depth type program, is designed to show producers more about principles of growth of the soybean plant. This will per mit farmers to better recog nize limiting factors and how to correct them. The instructional phase of the program is fourfold. These four steps include soils, growth and development, pest control and harvesting, storage and marketing. Instructions in these areas will be given by qualified specialists from Athens assisting the county agent. In the present day of fast moving technology, it is neces sary for successful farmers to keep abreast of the latest de velopments. Educational pro grams of this type is just one of the functions of the county Extension Service office. Everyone planning to grow soybeans are invited to attend this meeting. The many friends and rela tives of Mrs. Lena Underwood will be glad to know she return ed home last Saturday after noon after several days spent in the Evans County Hospital in Claxton for general checkup and tests.

The Pembtekw •JOURNAL Someone Wasting Their Time By Breaking And Entering Editors Home And Also The Journal Office We left Pembroke on Thursday afternoon for a trip to Key West, Fla., to attend the wedding of a relative, and thought everything would be o.k. while we were away, but we were never more wrong. To start with someone, (some yunguns) broke out a window in the front of our office and crawled in, made themselves at home and finally opened the door from the inside, and left, leaving the door unlocked with a window out. So far we have not discovered anything of value, missing although there may be something gone, we returned on Sunday afternoon and learned this news and also that someone had entered our home on Friday night through the back door. We do not believe that it was the same ones doing both jobs. We have evidence as to w'ho entered the Journal office and are awaiting developments, perhaps the yunguns parents, who possibly know of their kids esca pade by now, bringing them to see us. If they fail to do that we are going to send the “law” after them, and it is going to be embarrassing for not only the kids but their parents as well. If we learn who the rascal was that broke into our home we are going to put the law on him immediately. It sorter made us feel good to say the least that someone, somewhere thinks that Ye Editor and Mrs. Mil ler has enough valuables to commit burglary and risk going to the penitentiary.

Jones Extension Home Economist I am sure a number of Bryan County homemakers have ex perienced home safety prob lems. However, here is one I would like to discuss—common falls in the home. Consider these trips. Good planning reduces the need to rush and means more work done with fewer mishaps. Many of the dangers around the home result from unsafe steps or laders. When a ladder is needed, get one — don’t use makeshifts. You can help prevent falls on stairways if you keep the stairs free of toys and other items which eould cause a fall. Pro vide handrails and good light ing for hallways and stairways. Pick up “tripping hazards” out of the home traffic pat terns. Clean mud or grease from shoes to prevent slipping on floors or when climbing on lad ders, machinery, buildings, trees or other high places. Repair de fective floors. Skidproof all small rugs. Regard a good floor wax job as one that gives a good shine but is also safe to walk on. Former Bryan Citizen Made Army Captain Joseph L. Black, 22 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert R.

There was a large attendance and as Mayor we must admit that everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and we do know that Mayor Miller of Pembroke and Mayor Casey of Richmond Hill were among those that “put on the dog”, and enjoyed themselves. We look forward for the coming months to mean more to Pembroke than ever before, as we were assured by many that we had just turned on the “spicot” and that we would expect bigger and better things in the months ahead. It would be a fine way for an “old man” to wind up as Mayor of the City. F. O. M.— Local Citizen's Grandson Honored Army First Lieutenant Joseph C. Webster, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

With complete disregard for his personal safety, Lieutenant Webster maneuvered through the hail of hostile rounds to a forward location where he de ployed his men and directed their fire. He continued to ignore the insurgent barrage raking the area and adjusted devastating supporting artillery fire on the bunkers until con tact was broken. His courageous initiative and bold determina tion significantly contributed to the successful accomplish ment of his unit’s mission.
