Herman Talmadge
REPORTS PROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
I HERE IS NOTHING MORE damaging to the spirit ol a child
than chronic hunger. And yet such hunger has become away of
life to millions of American children whose parents are either
unwilling or unable to provide them with adequate food
Such children have virtually no control over their lives. I hey
suffer because of the inadequacies or misfortunes of their parents.
My school lunch program inspection tour this spring reinforced
my feeling that these programs are doing a fine job in helping to
combat this basic problem, and they can do a great deal more to
compensate for deficiencies in the home.
I have introduced legislation to expand and improve school
lunch programs, particularly for children in areas of economic
deprivation. I have long felt that education, rather than give
away programs. is the primary answer to the problems of our
country's underprivileged. And the time when a child is most
impressionable is in his early schooling. Hut to learn properly, a
child must also eat properly.
♦ » »
STUDIES SHOW THAT a hot lunch for schoolchildren not
only lowers dropouts and absenteeism, but actually improves the
grades of many students Nutritional deprivation often produces
children who become the dropouts, the delinquents, and even
tually the misfits of society. The programs now in operation are
doing a good job But they can be improved, they must he im
proved if we are to give all children an equal shot at fulfillment
of their inherent promise and ability.
MY PROPOSAL CONTAINS three basic sections. I irst, it
would encourage greater state participation and increase funding
for the present programs, to allow them to reach more children.
Second, it would authorize the use of funds for lunchroom facili
ties for inadequately equipped schools. Finally, it would provide
that even needy children living in affluent districts could still
obtain a free or reduced-price lunch. Thus poor families living in
a wealthy school district would not be penalized because their
neighbors could afford to buy lunches and they could not.
No one is more aware than I am of the need for fiscal belt
tightening to control inflation. But we cannot deprive children of
the hope that comes with a full stomach I uturc dividends will
more than repay whatever investment we arc able to make at
this lime to insure that all children have an adequate opportunity
to learn and grow.
Some Os Our Best Citizens Do
Not Help In Any Way In Getting
Sewerage & Water Improvements
At times we are afraid that we have too many “sel
fish” property owners in Pembroke, people who will be
vastly benefitted by sewerage, improving large lots of
acreage that they will eventually cut up and sell at
high prices, (if they have sewerage). And who are de
manding their “pound of flesh” for everything they are

being asked to help the city in getting this sewerage
and additional water mains, five hydrants, and a large
water tank.
Many do not want to sign an easement for the sewer
age lines to cross their property and serve their neigh
bors, which will not damage their property or cost them
anything. But the city is going to cross the lots that is
needed, if it takes a condemnation of these lots for the
laying of the sewerage lines.
It would be amazing if a list of those that have done
everything to hinder the getting of sewerage was known.
Many would be surprised at just who stands for progress
in Pembroke and who just do not care a “tinkers” dam
about anyone but themselves.
We are about to make the last contracts before pro
ceeding in court to get the rights to give all the people
sewerage, and not let any individual get an excess amc qk,
for a small piece of property for the erection of a
station on. Yes, we are going to put this sewerage in,
just as it has been planned, we have the money to do it
with, and knowing as we do just what it means to Pem
broke we are happy to tell the good people of Pembroke
that believe in “living and let live”, and in PROGRESS
FOR OUR LITTLE CITY that their long wait for the
better things of life has not been in vain, for we will
have the things that we have yearned for, worked for
for many years a reality in Pembroke for those that want
it, before the Christmas holidays.
Now do not get us wrong, there is only a small min
ority of these little citizens who either cares nothing about
his city, or just is too little to see the benefits to us all.
We are sure that when it is all completed that there
are those that see their mistake in not cooperating with
those working for the City, and now in closing we wish
to say that we are extremely happy over Pembroke’s
conditions, it’s future and believe that we are just be
ginning to see a new day for our little city. Which today
is near 2000 inhabitants and in another year will push
3000.
Mr And Mrs. John J. Bouhan
To Celebrate Golden Wedding
We have just received an invitation to attend the
Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Bouhan, which will be celebrated on Monday, August 4th
from seven until nine o’clock at the Oglethorpe Club in
Savannah, Georgia.
And this is one invitation that we are going to accept
and attend. Because we consider John J. Bouhan, the
greatest friend that the Coastal Empire Counties ever
had. He has meant more to the country counties, which
after all has had a major part in making the City of Sa
vannah the fine city that it is. It was through his fore
sight and wisdom that many things were done for Sa
vannah, that helped not only Savannah but the neighbor
ing counties as well.
Men like “Johnnie” Bouhan are fast passing out of
the picture in todays mad scramble for existence, and the
“powers” that be looking upon as little “2x4” country
boys as just a necessary evil, to be used and exploited and
never to receive any attention for their big brothers in
the big cities.
Yes, after having Hon. John J. Bouhan for more
than 50 years, we consider him the No. 1 man of Savan
nah, Chatham County and the Coastal Empire, a man
that never hesitated to serve the surrounding counties
more or less as if they were from his own county.
The Editor of The Pembroke Journal, who has been
honored with being elected Mayor more times than any
one man ever was, is proud to let everyone know just
what we think of the man we love, honor and respect as
the No. 1 citizen of the Coastal empire.

Outdoor Editor,

If you knew how a fish
felt when he got out of bed
you'd have a better chance of
catching him!
The problem, of course, is
to diagnose fish moods. Since
most anglers can’t converse
with them (although some
claim this distinction), it’s
difficult to learn how fish
greet the day.
Knowing what factors
influence fish behavior can
add to your angling success,
say the fishing authorities at
Mercury outboards. Sky
condition, water temperature
and water color all determine
a fish’s disposition. Successful
anglers read this mood and
match it with the correct
casting technique.
In muddied or brown
water fish are less likely to
venture from their normal
lies. They’re reluctant to
move any distance to
investigate a lure or bait. This
means an angler must cast
almost directly over the fish
to get his attention. Casts
should be more frequent with
less distance between them.
In clear water fish are
more eager and will travel
farther seeking food.
Therefore, fewer casts are
needed, and the fisherman
can work a larger territory.
Warm water is the result of
hot weather, and fish aren’t
much different from
fishermen at this time.
They're lethargic and won’t
move about any more than is
necessary. Again, this calls for
more frequent casts to place
the lure near enough to excite
the fish. Cool water
stimulates fish, causing them
to move more. Anglers get by
with fewer casts covering
more water with each.
Sky conditions,
particularly during warm
months, also influence how
fish act. If the sun comes up
hot. fish stop moving at
dawn, holding in one lie until
evening. More casts are
needed to put the lure in
favorable areas. However, if
dawn arrives with an overcast
sky and a hint of light
showers, fish will often feed
on through the rain.
Consequently, fewer casts are
needed to connect w ith these
carefree ramblers.
Practice a little fish
psychology next time you’re
on the lake, say the Mercury
lads. Who knows, maybe one
of these days you’ll learn to
think like they do.

The 25th annual South Georgia 4-H Forestry Camp got
underway at Waycross Monday, July 7, and four Bryan
County 4-H’ers are among the 125 boys and girls attending.
Here one of the camp instructors, Ted Walker, Forester with
the Extension Service discusses tree measurement with the
local 4-H’ers. From left to right they are Diane Kennedy,
Mr. Walker, Melanie Speir, Suzanne Foster, Debbie Douglas.
While attending the week-long camp Diane, Debbie, Melanie
and Suzanne will participate in classes on how to measure
trees, logs, pulpwood and lumber; control fires in the woods;
keep down insects and diseases, and improve timber stands
They will tour the Union Camp Corporation in Savannah,
the Okefenokee Swamp Park and see a paper dress revue
in which 18 girls will be modeling dresses they have made
of paper. Suzanne represented Bryan County in this event.
The South Georgia 4-H Forestry camp is conducted by the
Cooperative Extension Service, and it has been sponsored
since its beginning by Union Camp Corporation of Savannah.
More than 2 500 Georgia 4-H’ers have graduated from this
camp.

to offset what he called federal
encroachment on the public
school systems.
“We have thousands of
church educational buildings in
this country that are used only
a very few hours each week,
and the greatest thing that
could happen would be for thou
sands of these buildings belong
ing to the churches in Georgia
and throughout the nation to
be opened as private schools,”
he said, adding that increased
and stronger schools of private
education will help public edu
cation.
