Your Pembroke Journal Owners
Your new owners of The Pembroke Journal are the
Merrill E. Bacon family, who formerly were owners of
Ti e Bryan Countian that was purchased by the late
F. O. Miller, owner of The Pembroke Journal two years
ago. Mr. Bacon was employed by the Savannah News-
Press for a number of years before beginning The Bryan
Countian here several years ago.
Filling the shoes of the late Editor F. O. Miller is
indeed a task that will take all our efforts to fulfill,
and we probably will come tip lacking in several spots,
but we will give it our best, and certainly hope to have
the full support of all the fine people of Pembroke and
Bryan County.
The late Editor F. O. Miller was indeed an excep
tionally fine newspaper man, and his efforts and interest
in Pembroke and Bryan County will be missed for
many years to come. He loved Pembroke as much as
>ny dedicated citizen could, and he never failed to live
in the interest of Pembroke and Bryan County whether
ho was in Washington, D. C or in Atlanta. The efforts
of the late F. O. Miller will be sorely missed by many,
and we hope in our small way we will be able to con
tribute something that will be of help to Pembroke and
Bryan County in the future.

How Must
Your Family's
Money Be Spent
Melanie Speir
Literary Contestant
It is very difficult some
times to live within our means.
No matter how carefully
spending plans are made
something always comes along
to upset everything.
Some of the things we
should know in order to spend
wisely are the following: (1)
Why expenditures differ for
different families; (2) Why
expenditures vary during the
lifetime of a family, (3) What
a budget is; (4) What expend
itures a budget must cover;
(5) How income is distribut
ed among expenditudes; and
(6) what sources included in
income.
Why do family expenditures
differ? A number of factors
influence the way various
families living in a city will
have to pay more for rent. A
family of six naturally must
spend a much larger propor
tion of money for food, cloth
ing and rent than a family of
three. The interests and de
sires of the family will also
affect, spending habits.
Why do expenditures vary
during a family’s lifetime? If
you study the famlies on your
street you may find that
every period in the family
cycle is represented —- the
early years, crowded years,
peak years, and later years.
The early years begin with
marriage and cover 3 years.
During this period expenses
for furniture are great. The
housekeeping, marketing and
. food preparation procedures
should be perfected. The
crowded years begin when the
first new member of the fam
ily arrives and continues until
the last child enters school.
During this period the work
day bulges in the middle. Ex
penditures on movies, menls
out, and new clothes are trim
med to bare necessities. Next
comes the peak years. This
is when the children are all
in school. Household duties
become more regular. The
food budget increases.
The peak years represent
the climax in the family pat
tern.
What is a budget? A budget
is a record of past expendi
tures, an estimate of future
expenditures, and an itemi
zation of current expenses
over a certain period of time.
The budget should be plan
ned and discussed by the
whole family. The benefits
of keeping a budget are that
(1) money is set aside for
necessities and future pur
chases are planned (2) in
dividual family members un
derstand their responsibilities
in sharing income (3) the
wage earner is relieved of
the constant strain of meet
ing family demands (4) fam
ily members learn the value
of cooperation, and (5) a rec
ord of expenditures is avail
able for future reference.
What expenditures must a
budget cover? By far the
major part of income in most
families is spent for essentials.
These are called “fixed ex
penditures.” Fixed expendi
tures include rent or pay
ments on a home, taxes, in
terest, insurance, public util
ities, fuel, payments on house
hold articles, carfare to and
from work, maid service,
church and club contributions.
Why do budgets vary? It
is impossible to establish bud
get percentages that will meet
the needs of all families be
cause of a number of factors.
The most important factor is
income. Occupation affects
the distribution of income to
a degree.
What sources are included
in income? Income is gem
erally thought of as money
received in salary or wages
over a period of time. Salary
or wages is what most people
depend on for their living. In
addition to the regular wage
or salary income, a family may
have an occasional income,
an investment income, or a
gift or inheritance income^
Another source of income is
home management income or
money saved by the home
maker.
Mrs. Effie McKenzie of
Groveland has returned home
from the Evans Memorial Hos
pital in Claxton where she
was hospitalized as a result of
injuries received in an auto
mobile accident January 23
on the Canoochee River
bridge. Mrs. McKinzie suf
fered a broken collar bone and
arm and shoulder injuries but
her family reports that she is
recuperating nicely.

FARM MEASUREMENT
SHOULD BE REQUESTED
NOW
Measurement sen-ice should
be requested now for all farms
which will be signed up in the
wheat, feed grain or cotton
programs, according to H. L.
Page, Chairman of the Bryan
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation (ASC) Commit
tee.
He urged farmers who plan
to request the measurement
service not to wait until sign
up time (February 2 through
March 20) to do so. “If they
get their requests in now." he
said, “Farmers have much bet
ter assurance of getting meas
urement service at a time when
it will do them the most good.
The service may well save ex
penses for farmers.”
Measurement service is of
fered by the County ASC Of
fice to farm program particip
ants as a sure way to know
they are in compliance with
acreage requirements of farm
programs.
When a farmer participates
in the wheat, feed grain, or
cotton program he certifies to
the precise acreage he has in
these crops, and the acreage he
has diverted from these crops.
He must also be certain that
he has enough additional acres
in conserving use to meet his
conserving base requirement.
Errors in certification can re
sult in reduction or loss of pay
ments.

urement service from the Coun-

No human emotion is more
profound than the love of a
mother for her child.
But however intense, mater
nal affection alone isn’t enough.
Millions of mothers among the
world’s have-nots watch in
helpless despair as-deprived of
their basic needs — their chil
dren suffer the pangs of hunger,
sickness and cold

ty ASCS Office—at a charge
which covers only the cost of
the service—he is guaranteed
he will be in compliance with
the acreage requirements if he
stays within the measured and
staked acreage.
Mr, Page pointed out that
measurement service often
saves a farmer money. “If he
plants before measurement, he
may put in too much and be
out the cost not only of plant
ing but also of plowing it up.
Or he may plant less than his
allowed acreage and lose
money by not having as much
production as he could have
had. The ASCS measurement
service assures a farmer that
he will comply with his acreage
requirements if he plants with
in the measured and staked
areas,” Page said.
Program To Help
Children Begun
The Georgia Department of
Family and Children Services
has initiated its new program
of free legal services for the
poor with a major effort to
legitimate welfare children
born out of wedlock and to seek
support for them from their
natural fathers, State Welfare
Director Bill Burson has an
nounced.
During the first phase of the
program men known to have
fathered children receiving wel
fare assistance will be asked
voluntarily to acknowledge
paternity and to begin support
ing their children to the extent
of their ability to do so, Bur
son explained.
“Those agreeing to accept
their responsibilities under the
law will be assisted by the
County Departments of Family
and Children Services in taking
the simple legal steps required,”
he continued. “Those who re
fuse will be advised that the
State Department will seek leg
al action, including possible
criminal prosecution, against
them.”
When legal action is taken,
the Welfare Chief emphasized,
it will be initiated in cooperation
with the District Attorneys of
Georgia's Superior Courts and
with the assistance of legal aid
and private attorneys who are
cooperating with the Depart
ment with the approval and en
courugement of the Georgia
Bar Association.
“Each mother of a child horn
out of wedlock will be asked
for the father’s name,” he ex
plained. “The father then will
be contacted and, if he admits
paternity, asked voluntarily to
legitimate and support the child.
If he refuses, court action will
be sought to establish paternity
and obtain support through the
judicial process.
“If paternity is in dispute an
investigation will be made and
both the mother and the alleg
ed father given an opportunity
to state the facts of the case
as they know them. Only when
the father definitely is known
will action be taken to effect
legitimation.”

At both ends of the plane,
and in the middle these days—
if the flight is destined for
Florida —You'll find golfers
leaving the bad weather behind
them to visit Florida and its
more than 300 magnificent
courses. Is it any wonder the
Sunshine State is known as the
"Golf Capital of the World?”
Those addicted to the royal
and ancient game find a multi
tude of dramatically designed
courses which even offer excit
ing challenges to the pros,
say veteran golfers who fiy to
Florida on Eastern’s Wings of
Man.
From the rolling hills of Pen
sacola to the coral rimmed fair
wavs in Key West there is a
course to suit every game,
whether you are a weekend
whiz or a scratch golfer.
All courses offer the new
comer a crisp lesson in wind
and sand play The courses are
generally flat and the breezes
usually constant. And the finc
textured sand in the bunkers
enable you to develop your
shots.
The Doral, Florida's largest
and most famous golf resort,
' features the famed "Blue
Monster” course site of the an
nual $150,000 Doral-Eastern
Open on the PGA tour. It is an
unpredictable, punishing and
long (7,026 yard, par 72) chal
lenge where soft breezes sud
denly turn into strong gusts
making long holes almost im
possible to reach. There are
seven lakes, a multitude of
sand traps and roughs making
it tough for any golfer who
tries to master the course.
The Doral has three 18 hole
courses, plus a 9-hole. par 3.
which the ladies will enjoy.
There are two putting greens.

Georgians must work harder
toward closing the gap of
$6 40 now separating the
income of the average

Honeywell’s all-electric building.
Atlanta was a logical location for Honeywell's southern
headquarters, serving 14 states, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico. And all-electric operation was a
natural choice for their new building.
In the Honeywell center you will find complex com
puter and communications systems. These are used for
demonstrations to prospective customers and for check
ing equipment on order. The company also plans to
initiate a time-sharing operation in which several small
companies may use a single computer simultaneously.
Honeywell’s data processing systems are only part of
the all-electric picture. The seven-story building is heated
and cooled electrically, so employees and tenants enjoy
perfect indoor climate in any weather.
If efficiency and economy are important in your
business, consider an all-electric building. Let one of our
commercial representatives program a system for you.
