Miller had some urgent business with the Governor, and had to see him “at once”, so late Saturday afternoon a call was placed to Governor Maddox at the Executive Mansion and the Mayor asked for an immediate date to see him, either Sunday or Monday morning and planned to fly to Atlanta, but when we were told by the Governor that he would receive us at the Mansion on Sunday afternoon we told him we would be there. We got the Pontiac ready to go and our good friend J. C. Tucker of Blitchton agreed to drive us up there and back. We went to church Sunday morning, ate din ner and took off for Atlanta. Arriving in Atlanta before five and then on out to the Executive Mansion, which is about 8 miles on the other side of the City, where we were granted immediate entrance to the Mansion, which had just closed to the public, and droves of people were leaving, but we went to the security room where a State Patrol officer called the Governor in his room and told him we were there. In a few minutes a smiling and jubilant Governor came in with a howdy how do you do, and escorted us into the Mansion, which is the finest one in the United States and cost more than 3 million dollars, and has had everything done to the building and grounds to beautify them that could be. Thousands of visitors go through this building on weekdays and on Sunday afternoon until 5. We looked at the register in the Mansion and saw many people from all over the world who had visited Georgia’s Lovely Executive Mansion, and we found it to be a dream beyond the imagination of a little “country Mayor”. The Governor was at his best, he entertained the two of us for more than an hour, listened to our “troubles”, and promised that he would do the best that he could, and we were satisfied with his reply to us, and then when we finally started to leave he gave us some beautiful pictures of the Executive Mansion, and went out in front and had his picture made with the Mayor, by his car in front of the Mansion. We left there and headed back for Pembroke and re turned via the home of the Rodgers family out 20 miles this side of Atlanta, on Interstate 20, and after a short visit with them we headed for home. We left Pembroke at 12:40 and went to Atlanta, visited the Governor, came back a distance of 568 miles by a few minutes after 12 Sunday night. Had a fine trip and enjoyed being a “big wig” with a fine car and good chauffeur”. It’s great to be big enough to have the connections we have when we can reach the ear of the Governor on Saturday night, and see him on Sunday for a lovely visit and we think a profitable one to us. He has great plans and is anything but upset over some of the “hullabaloo” that some are talking about what he is doing, going to do and not do. We came home with a belief that Lester Maddox is a honest Governor, trying to do what he believes right, fair and honest for Georgia, and is having a “helluva” time doing it, with some of the legislators trying to “beset” his plans at every turn —F. O. M. Homecoming The homecoming of Blitchton Baptist Church is Sunday, July l 20th, beginning the day, Sun day School, 10 o’clock. Church services 11 o’clock. The home coming message will be by Rev. Mittery Taylor from Swains boro who served as pastor when our church was first establish ed.

Everyone is invited to attend. There will not be Training Union or church that night. We will be visiting neighbor churches in locality.

Maddox ATLANTA, (GPS) — State welfare workers have been challenged by Gov. Lester G. Maddox to get people off wel fare who can work and get others on the welfare rolls who deserve help. In a speech to the Georgia County Welfare Association’s annual meeting in Savannah, the governor said there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people in Georgia and other states who need more help than they are getting and can’t get this help because the “welfare loaf” is being divided among too many who could work and buy a loaf of their own if they would do it. “In the last regular and spe cial sessions of the General As sembly,” he said, “1 tried to get a little increase for the blind, aged and disabled who need more money, but the request for a mere seven cents per day— less than that, really — was turned down, and 130,000 of Georgia’s needy citizens were left with their same inadequate assistance.” Gov. Maddox said “we are now putting more than enough money into welfare programs to help most of those who need help,” but that “a lot of our effort is being wasted on those who are addicted to welfarism and who will not do for them selves because they know they don’t have to.” ’ “I would like to challenge you,” he told the group, “to re evaluate your approach to wel fare and make certain that your effort is directed toward get ting people off welfare who are able to get off, keeping people off welfare who should never be on, and getting people on welfare who honestly need our help and are not getting it.” “It would be cruel and un- Christian,” Maddox added, “to turn away even one person who is blind, crippled, too old or too yoting and unable to provide fully for himself. But, I believe it is just as cruel and inhumane to addict an able-bodied man or woman to welfare when they could be taught to make their own way by the sweat of their own brows.” The governor said he sees people “all too often” coming to the Capitol to picket and to pro test for more welfare benefits. The governor said he sees people “all too often” coming to the Capitol to picket and to protest for more welfare bene fits. “Some of them want turkeys on Thanksgiving and spending money at Christmas,” he said. “If they are able to drag little children around on the streets all day and picket, then they are able to work.” Gov. Maddox said his family was once “too poor to paint and too proud to whitewash,” but that “poverty did not frus trate Lester Maddox — it in spired me.” QUAN MOORE CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY Mr. and Mrs. Ethridge Moore entertained for their daughter Quan, who celebrated her 10th birthday July 3rd, at the Pem broke Fire Station, with a party.

Bryan's Ordinary Comes Through Operation Fine ■’ JI row W" 7 f MRS. FLORENE M. ELRICK The many friends of Mrs. Florene Elrick, popular Ordin ary of Bryan County who has been in Memorial Medical Cen ter for sometime, and who un derwent a major operation on Monday morning, which the Doctors hope will give her re lief from her troubles. Mrs. Elrick has been fighting her troubles for a long time, she has remained in good spirits and cheerful to say the least. This is good news for her many friends. Mrs. Elrick drove a school bus before she was elected as Ordinary of the County, and for some time afterwards, but her health made it necessary that she retire from the school bus job. For many years she was a part time employee of The Pembroke Journal and was one of the best helpers we ever had. She was called upon to do a lit tle of everything in connection with getting up and getting out a weekly newspaper. In addi tion she became very close to those at the Journal office and those that had business with the Journal. We hope that in some way a miracle can happen and she can come back home for a long time yet.
