The man we are talking about, who we will not call the name of, but who everyone will know has been active in build ing up Pembroke and Bryan County, and started out as a “poor boy”, has worked hard all of his life to make money and help the community, he and his family have been active in every movement that has meant well for the «d>' anr ement of Pembroke. Yes, we believe that his ef forts has brought more people to Bryan County than the ef forts of any other half dozen people. He spent all the money he could get hold of building homes, moving in homes, and his troubles are now added to by the fact that much of this is being sold to pay “the price for a little fellow, operating large ly on borrowed money, and get ting deeper and deeper in the hole, and after all see it all go up for sale before the Court House door to pay the money borrowed, plus the interest, which makes us stop and wond er, if after all is it worth while to get out and work, borrow money, and all the time along the road be worried with debts, and the shortage of cash, and finally reach the end of the road as “grand parents” in the condition that it appears to us is the case we are writing about. Yes they tried, worked hard, but where is the Glory? Our Housing And Sewerage Makes Progress It appears now as if our Housing Program is making greater progress than they have made in some time, due to the heavy rains most every day that we have been getting. When it rains they are forced to knock off their help and await a better day to work. And we have had more than our share of rain it looks like. We are pleased with the way it is shaping up and feel cer tain that it will be in use by the first of the year, and prob ably before. Our sewerage program is making headway, although we have learned that getting the funds to do the job, getting the plans made for the job, and then getting permission to cross their property with the sewer age lines is nearly impossible. But with all that we have about “whipped” all of these prob lems, and feel that sewerage and housing will make the deadline by the latter part of the year. W’hen sewerage gets going in Pembroke you can look for the biggest building boom and moving in of people that we have ever experienced. Our lo cation close to Savannah, and I ring 1-16 nearby for our citi zens to use going and coming from Savannah is making our location attractive to many. Yes, we look forward to the year 1970 being the biggest year in the history of Pem broke and Bryan County. Card Os Thanks I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to all of those who remembered me with the cards, letters, phone calls, and prayers during my stay in the hospital. May God bless each of you, is my sincere prayer.
