Coastal Empi
Give Sanders
Yes, The Carl Sanders Party
At The Holiday Inn At Richmond
Hill Was A Full House
For some time Pembroke’s Mayor and Edi
tor of The Pembroke Journal has been working
“quietly” putting together what we had hoped
to be a “big affair” for our section of Georgia,
when we along with others would be host to
former Governor Carl Sanders, Mrs. Sanders and
their lovely young daughter, at what Ye Editor
named “Carl Sanders Nest Egg Party, where each
invited person paid to the writer SIOO for the
Nest Egg, and $lO for each person that attend
ed, limited to 2. We quietly contacted the lead
ers of seven or eight counties in the First Dis
trict and the party came off Friday night.
Above is the story about the affair was car
ried in Sundays Savannah Morning News and we
are reproducing it just as they wrote it, for we
believe it to fair and honest newspaper reporting.
They said it was a big affair, and we admit that
it was.
When we started the affair, we told those
nresent that no one had asked us to do this thing,
that it was our idea, and if it was good, we were
proud, and if we had failed that we were sorry.
We furthermore told them that we were not do
ing this in the hopes of getting a “job” if Carl
Sanders was again Governor, that we were 76'
years old now and had more jobs than we could
say grace over. We know that he would make
Georgia a GOOD GOVERNOR AGAIN, and for
that reason alone we wanted to have a part in
getting the Governor’s office back in the hands
of a Governor that could and would run the of
fice in cooperation with other state officials and
cut out all the “wrangling”.
We were convinced before Friday night that
Carl Sanders could win the race again next year,
and today we are more sure of the political sit
uation than ever before that he can win “in a
walk”. But take it from us, he does not intend
to “walk” he is busy seeing the people from the
Mountains of North Georgia to the Marshes of
Glynn. Yes, the people has a “bellifull” of what
we have been going through for some time, with
everybody trying to run things, and no one doing
it. Ie is bad for Georgia, and will cease after we
have an election.

‘Nest Egg’
By BILL DOUTHAT
Asst. City Editor
Persons of political influ
ence from seven coastal coun
ties met in Richmond Hill Fri
day night to give the first
fund-raising dinner for an all
but-announced candidate for
governor, Carl Sanders.
Bannered as the Coastal
Counties Boosters Committee,
the backers of Sanders’ candi
dacy presented the former
governor with an SB,OOO “nest
egg” contribution. Sanders ac
cepted.
A brainchild of Pembroke
mayor and newspaper pub
lisher Frank O. Miller, the
“Carl Sanders Appreciation
Day” probably marked the be
ginning of Sanders’ campaign
for governor, at least his cam
paign for campaign funds.
150 Attended
Sanders spoke iof the race
while 150 backers finished
their $lO-a-plate dinners, but
his comments were made off
the record. The private rally
at the Holiday Inn was by in
vitation only.
He was introduced by Rep.
Charles Jones of Hinesville as
"the ex- and next governor of
Georgia.” Though there were
no campaign stickers or hats,
the occasion was nonetheless
a political rally.
The stage was set by an
eight-column headline on the
front page of the Pembroke
weekly newspaper published
by the 78-year-old Miller and
an editorial that said Sanders
will “be a “shoo-in” for gover
nor.”
“He hasn’t got to run for
governor, he can take it in a
walk,” Miller said at the din
ner.
“We’re not going to forget
you,” said Sen. Ed Zipperer
to the former governor.
Those attending from
Chatham County Included
County Commission Chairman
Robert F. Lovett, County Or
dinary Shelby Myrick, former
Mayor Malcolm Mac Lean,
Rep. Alan Gaynor, former
Rep Robert Tye and John
Bouhan, former county attor
ney.

The ten state degree earners trom ts.C.tl.S. were
honored Saturday, May 10, with a luncheon which was
held at Mrs. Bryant’s Kitchen in Statesboro.
The girls who made the special effort to achieve the
state degree were: Susan Lane, Debbie Raulerson, Pam
Cowart, Betty Hughes, Donna Jones, Carolyn Warnell,
Wanda Gaines, Wanda Futch, Mary Dowd and Darlene
Butler.
The theme for the occasion was “What a Difference
a State Degree Makes.” Mrs. Lawton Murray, a Florist,
Homemaker, and a former F.H.A. Stgte Degree earner,
was the guest speaker. The girls were presented thir
awards and the meeting was adjourned with the F.H.A.
Creed.
We were very proud of our small school in that we
rated along with the large schools in number of State
Degree Earnei-s.
Betty Hughes, Public Relations
Bouhan, a leading political
figure in state and local poli
tics for many years, said: "I
thought I would quit politics
until my friend Sanders came
down here.”
Others came from Bryan,
Bulloch, Toombs, Candler,
Liberty and Mclntosh coun
ties.
In his talk, Sanders dec
lined to criticize present state
leadership, but did indicate
that he felt new leadership is
needed to guide Georgia to
greater progress.
After his talk, Miller pre
sented the exuberant Sanders
a portfolio containing SB,OOO in
checks made payable to Sand
ers.
“This nest egg is for him to
use as he pleases — if he
wants to run for senator, or if
he wants to run for gover
nor,” said Miller.
“But we want him as gov
ernor. God knows we need
one,” Miller declared.
The fact that he accepted
the checks left no doubt that
Sanders wants his old job
back.
