JUNE 28TH DATE FOR
GROOVER REUNION
One of the largest an
nual gatherings of
families in Southeast
Ga., the Groover Family
Reunion, Will take place
this year on Sunday,
June 28. near Hinesville
Organized three years
ago, the reunion attracts
Groovers, their rela
tives, and friends from
Georgia, Florida, North
and South Carolina,
California, Alabama,
Texas, and other scat
tered parts of the
nation.
The Groover family
got its start in America
at Ebenezer, near Sa-
vannah, Ga., in 1734
when groups of Salz
burgers arrived from
their native Germany
and Austria to escape
religious persecution
and help General James
Edward Oglethorpe set
tle the 13th and final
colony of the new coun
try.
Two unrelated Groo
ver men -then called
Gruber—were among
those Salzburgers. They
married and from their
children come today,
those who now meet
annually to get re
acquainted , show off new
babies, introduce new
daughters and sons-in
law, and exchange news
about Groovers, their
relatives, and friends
in general.
Some of those who
attend the reunion come
from parts of America’s
western states, tracing
in modern transpor
tation eastward the co
vered wagon trails of
their ancesters west
ward in years long gone
by.
The Groover Family
Reunion this year will
take place, as in pre
vious years, at rural
Gum Branch Baptist
Church, on State High
way 196, about ten miles
from Hinesville, which
is some 45 miles south
west of Savannah.
The reunion gets
underway at 11 o’clock
just after regular Sun

No Fallout Shelters
In County
According to the
Bryan County Com
munity Shelter Plan
there is no public fall
out shelter protection
for people living in
Bryan County. Since
fallout protection is an
important part of our
Community Shelter Plan
persons residing in
Bryan County must pre
pare their own shelter
in their home.
Mr. J.E. Wilson,
Chairman, Board of
County Commissioners,
stressed that it is vi
tally important that each
family in Bryan County
work out a family E
mergency Plan and that
each member of the
family become thor
oughly acquainted with
the plan.
According to Mr. Wilson
efforts should be made
to overcome the lack of
shelter in Bryan County.
He stated that the first
solution would be the
construction of home
shelters. Secondly, by
taking advantage of the
Department of Defense
sponsored fallout shel
ter program. This pro
gram seeks to include
fallout protection in new
buildings with practi
cally no increase in cost
and extremely minor
modifications in build
ing design.
In Bryan County new
schools and public buil
dings are prime can
didates for fallout pro
tection. Mr. Wilson
said: “The time to in
clude this fallout pro
tection in buildings is
when they are in the
design stage. Then it
is possible to add
fallout protection easily
and cheaply.”

tails on Bryan County’s
Community Shelter Plan

to do in an attack situa
tion will be distributed
