Garbee's Savannah's
Most Dexterous Folks
The following, from the Savan
nah Morning News, will be of in
terest to local friends of Mr. and
Mrs. E. E. Garbeo, former popu
lar residents of Boone:
Gene Garbee, of the Universi
ty of Georgia faculty at Hunter
Field, has a loft of twelve pig
eons, Birmingham rollers are the
breed name. These pigeons are
noted for the fact they take back
ward somersaults in the air. I
look any day to get word from
the campus that the Gar bees have
improved on this feat.
Seldom before has Savannah
had a more dexterous couple
than Mr. and Mrs. Garbee. Mr.
Garbee goes to the Lions Club
and to church outfitted in home
made suits, material for which
was turned out by Mrs. Garbee
on a hand loom, foot-powered
weaver at $13.50 a suit She also
wove and tailored the cloth for a
swanky "New Look" outfit for
herself.
Mr. Garbee has made all the
furniture for their home and yes
terday was ; busy on a chestnut
bed and study desk for his son's
room. He has a secret formula
for givij n an antique finish to
the funucure.
He also does the engraving on
trophies and bracelets at the col
lege, and turns out beautiful silk
screen work on Christmas cards,
thank -you notes and personal
cards.
OMr. Garbee is also an expert
cook, so that Mrs. Garbee doesn't
have to worry about hurrying
home to prepare dinner. As a
matter of fact the wife and chil
dren were gone' all last summer
and Mr. Garbee took over all the
household chores.
Now these accomplishments
should be enough for any one
man. But Mr. Garbee is known
far and wide for his hand-ham
mered metal work, and is no

He raises pigeon;, rabbits and
chickens. The home freezer at his
home now contains eight squabs,
fifteen rabbits and a dozen fry
ers. He is grooming some pigeons
in the loft for the Savannah Pig
eon racing club next spring.
Between all of this, Mr. Gar
bee is able to budget his time to
take a leading part in the Boy
Scout program, the Lions Club
and other ,fiivic work.
His title at the college is chair
man of the division of physical
education and industrial arts. Mrs
Garbee teaches the one class in
physical education for girls at
Hunter Field. They met at South

where Mrs. Garbee was a teacher
