Grover Denmark
.
Again In
Candler Hosp.
After a stay of a few days
at home our good friend Grover
Denmark has returned to Cand
ler General Hospital and it is
thought that he will undergo
Surgery the first of this week.
Mr. Denmark is one of Pem
broke’s best liked citizens, he
and his wife, Mrs. Irene Den
mark live in their little home
on Camelia Drive and is the
gathering place for their many
friends. ‘
Ye Editor feels very close to
Grover Denmark, who we have
“teasingly named” Lester Mad
dox, due to the fact that they
do resemble each other a great
deal, and our good friend Grov
er gets a kick out of us calling
him “Lester.” Well we for one
are pulling for Grover's com
plete recovery and an early re
turn of our friend “Lester” to
Pembroke. 5
Mr. Denmark is Commander
of the American Legion Post
in Pembroke.
J. E. Pevey Is
Home From The
Bulloch Hosp.
After a stay of about two
weeks in the Bulloch County
County Hospital where it was
thought he would undergo surg
ery, Pembroke’s postmaster has
returned to his home in Pem
broke and it is thought that he
will not have to undergo surg
ery after all. He has been
missed from ‘his usual place at
the post office and his friends
hope that he will soon be back
at his place in the post office.

Talmadge Again
Demands Hew To
Cease Cutoffs
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Just
prior to leaving Washington as
the ' three-week congressional
recess began, Georgia’s U, S,
Herman E. Talmadge, long an
outspoken critic of the Health,
Education and Welfare Depart
ment’s school guideline policies,
called on the agency as a “hu
manitarian step” to restore fed
eral aid to 37 Georgia school
systems which lost it because
they had not desegregated.
His latest appeal for restora
tion of these funds was made
in a Senate speech and in a let
ter dispatched simultaneously to
HEW Secretary Robert H.
Finch. Now that the Justice De
partment has filed a suit ask
ing a federal court to order
Georgia to desegregate all its
schools, Talmadge said he hopes
HEW will restore the money
and step out of the picture,
leaving “this complex problem”
to the courts.
“A new school term is about
to start,” he said in his speech.
“These funds are needed by the
schools, Thousands of deprived
children need their benefits, in
terms of food and an adequate
education, which is their birth
right.
“HEW can restore these
funds, if it will. This would be
the humanitarian thing to do.
It would be the sensible thing
to do. HEW ought to be barred
from making any more cutoffs,
And for those school systems
already cutoff, funds ought to
be restored.”
“It is a ridiculous inconsist
ency to have virtually all the
agencies of the federal govern
ment working day and night to
fight poverty, and then have
HEW in effect contribute to
the problem by taking food
away from hungry school chil
dren,” Sen. Talmadge declared.
