Pembroke State Bank Has Grown
Until It Is One Os Largest And
Strongest Banks In Little Cities
For the past 40 years we have had “much” dealing
with our local bank, and during the years have been
very close to those that were in charge, and in many
ways knew more about the bank and its operations than
most people, not to be a Director or an official of the
bank.
We have seen it when it was a great ways from being
a million dollar bank. In fact we remember the time
when our good friend, the late C. L. Gruver, who we con
sidered one of the ablest bankers in Georgia was struggling
to make our bank a “million dollar” bank, and just as
the closing time for the annual statement was to be made
he was telling a mutual friend of both of us, of his desire
to see the bank become a million dollar bank, when
Waldo Bradley of Savannah, who the bank had favored
at one time or other, gave Mr. Gruver a check signed in
blank, and told him to fill it out for whatever amount was
needed to push the bank over the top. It worked and
since that time the bank has made steady progress
The present statement which appeared in our last
weeks paper shows that the bank today has TOTAL
ASSETS of $3,887,127.88, just a little shy of four million
dollars. This is indeed a record that any small town
bank can be proud of. The bank has earned the reputation
of serving it’s customers, big or little, and always making
it possible to put things over. We know that this is true
for they have helped the City of Pembroke secure “big
money , when it was needed.
The President of the Bank is E. B. Miles, known ’o
his friends as “Billy”, he is the only full time man
employee of the bank, he is assisted by a “flock of pretty
women doing the other jobs. The Chairman of the
Board is Hon. Charles F. Warnell, who gives a great deal
of his time to the bank, and is never too busv to heln
someone. The Directors are Mrs. Zelma Gruver, the wife
of the late C. L. Gruver who was President of the bank

E. B. Miles, H. H. Dukes and W. D. Warnell.
Yes. we have every reason to be proud of our local
bankets officials and the service that they are rendering.
Through the years we have never gotten anv further
with the bank than being a patron, “borrowin’’ all we
can at all times, which most time is not enough but thev
have meant much to Ye Editor and Mayor as well as ail
others that we have known of.

James L. Bentley, Georgia's
Comptroller-General, and a cer
tain GOP candidate for Governor
next year, thinks that the
threatened suit by the U. S.
Dept, of Justice against the
State Board of Education, to
compel this Board to take con
trol of school integration, will
be beneficial in preserving the
neighborhood school concept,
rather than hurtful.
Mr. Bentley says that the suit
would flatly take the matter

away from HEW, which has
sought to enforce unrealistic
guide lines and to compel school
systems to follow a HEW
dictated ratio of blacks and
whites. Also, he says, money
which has been cut off from
some systems would now be re
stored. And, the law which pro
hibits busing of students to eon
sumate integration, which HEW
has illegally sought to bring
about, would now be observed.
Such a suit would have
great possibilities of improving
the school situation and solving
our problems”, Bentley declared.
Personally, this writer agrees
with Bentley. Nothing could be
any worse than HEW and Secre
tary Finch. Too, we see it as an
attempt of the Nixon adminis
tration to keep their campaign
promise to Southerners to let up
on integration. Not that they’ll
admit it, but we have it straight
from Washington that the nation
al administration is about as dis
gusted with HEW as Southerners
are. ■
Maybe Governor Maddox and
•others had better ease up in
their condemnation of the pro
posed suit until they see the pur
pose behind it.

The rumor is out that former
Lt.-Gov. Garland T. Byrd has
been approached to run for'
Comptroller-General in 1970,
with promises of Hnancing. Byrd
is said to have turned a recep
tive ear, but made no committ
ment.

As is well known throughout
the state, potential gubernatorial
candidate Jimmy Carter is a
strong liberal — now making ef
forts to present a conservative'
image. In line with these efforts,
rumor says that he has con
tacted Governor Maddox and
conservative leader Roy V. Har
ris to ask their support. Maybe
his idea is that Maddox and
Harris may let their dislike of
Carl Sanders persuade them to
support him (Carter). If this did
come about, both the Governor
and the distinguished Mr. Har
ris would sure have to eat a lot
of words about the evils of lib
eralism.
Incidentally, Negro Julian
Bond has dedicated himself
whole hog to beating Carl Sand

The Governor’s office has re
ceived a large amount of mail,
most of it favorable, on Mad
dox’s statements regarding the
Justice Dept, filing suit against
the Board of Education. Some
has come from out of state.
******
Bill Burson, Director of the
State Dept, of Family and Child
rens Services, hasn t just been
setting up bogey men when he
warned that HEW might cut off
federal welfare funds if the
State isn’t allowed to pay ex
penses of volunteer welfare help.
A letter from the Regional Com
missioner states flat out that she
will recommend to the Secretary
of HEW that the funds be cut
off unless this help’s expenses
are paid.
There are several steps in
volved in this, however. First
would come the recommendation
from the Region. Then, Secre
tary Finch would order a hear
ing. If the hearing results were
unfavorable, the Secretary would
order the funds cut off. But, this
is still appealable to the federal
courts, and no funds are likely
to be cut off until after a ruling
by the Supreme Court. And, Di
rector Burson will most certainly
go all the way to the top.
Burson, incidentally, finds it
hard to understand why Attor
ney-General Arthur Bolton ruled
that expenses of volunteer help
couldn’t be paid, since Georgia
law, Acts of 1945, provides power
for the Welfare Dept, to meet
federal requirements on welfare
grants.
Mr. Burson has now asked Mr.
Bolton for a ruling on whether
expenses of volunteer advisory
committees can be paid, but the
Assorney-General has delayed a
ruling “until we get this volun
teer help matter out of the way”.
******
Last week, Gov. Maddox made
the principal address at the an
nual conference of the Ga.
County Welfare Assn., and prob
ably no man has ever been in
troduced with higher praise than
Director Bill Burson gave Mad-
dox as a Chief Executive “who
has done things for welfare that
his predecessors have only
talked about”. A standing ova
tion greeted the Governor. And,
rumor says that Lester changed
his speech considerably.

Farm Safety
In Spotlight
July 20-26
ATLANTA (PRN) -
‘‘Manage to Prevent
Accidents!”
This theme will be much on
the minds of Georgia farmers
next week, and hopefully
throughout the rest of the
year.
The reason for its special
significance next week is that
July 20-26 is National Farm
Safety Week - the 26th annual
such occasion.
President Richard Nixon
has proclaimed the Week, ancj
the National Safety Council
and the United States
Department of Agriculture are
cooperating to draw national
attention to the rural accident
situation and promote
intensive, year-round
accident-prevention programs
in rural communities
everywhere. Leading farm
organizations have endorsed
National Farm Safety Week.
In Georgia, Willis E. Huston,
agricultural engineer with the
Cooperative Extension
Service, in coordinating
program activities.
In his proclamation
President Nixon pointed out
that American agriculture has
advanced more in the past 50
years than in all our prior
history. “A third as many
farmers are feeding twice as
many Americans today as in
1920. In addition, America is
the world’s largest exporter of
agricultural products, and our
abundance is a powerful force
for world peace.”
The President continued,
“While their accomplishments
have dramatically increased
production, our farm people
have suffered a tragic toll of
accidents. This terrible waste
demands our urgent
attention,” he added.
According to Mr. Huston,
about 7,500 farm people died
last year in work, home and
highway mishaps. An
additional 650,000 suffered
disabling injuries, and many
were permanently crippled.
Farm work accidents rank first
in total occupational deaths
and third among U. S.
industries in accidental death
rate.
Leon J. Urben, manager of
the farm department, National
Safety Council, stated that
continuous efforts by
voluntary groups,
governmental agencies and
organizations allied with
agriculture have contributed
immeasurably to the progress
of accident prevention in rural
communities. “We ask you to
maintain these efforts because
our job is far from
completed,” he added.
National Farm Safety Week
this year will emphasize a

A GOOD LIGHT IS ESSENTIAL AT 2
STUDY TIME..PROTECT THEIR EYES
The last thing a student
needs in the midst of final
exams and term papers is to
see dark spots before his
eyes. The business of learning
has enough built-in headaches
without adding unnecessary
eyestrain.
A good study lamp can com
bat the common enemies of
good vision — glare, contrast,
shadows and inadequate light
ing.
Most glare problems can be
solved by a lamp shade with
white or near-white lining
which covers the bulb from any
viewing angle. A good lamp
shade also prevents harsh con
trasts between lighted and un
lighted portions of the room,
because it throws light upward
