High
Barrow County Representa
tive James W. Paris was hon
ored on March 21 by WSB Radio
'vhen he was chosen as WSB
Worth Safety Booster for that
ay. Rep. Paris was chosen
for this honor because of his
sponsorship of the ‘‘point sys
tem” traffic bill in the 1968
Georgia General Assembly, re
lating to driver license sus.
pensions and revocations. This
bill, along with others will be
signed by Governor Lester
Maddox on March 27 and will
become effective on Mav l
1969. ’
The ‘‘point system” bill is
in force in 32 states already’
and means that a driver with
the accumulation of 15 points
against him during an 18 mon
ths period can have his dri
ver's license suspended up to
one year. The ‘ 'point system’ ’
is calculated on an offense basis
for moving violations as fol
lows - G points for passing a
stopped school bus; 6 points
for speeding more than 25 miles
per hour; and 4, 3, and 2
points for other violations.
The Director of Public Safety
must notify offenders when they
have reached the one-half mark
of the fifteen point period. After
the driver’s license has been
suspended and restored, point
accumlation may be reduced
during a 12 months period fol
lowing, for no further viola
tions during that time.
Driving under the influence
and manslaughter are excepted
from this law. The former law
LL
was harsh in the face that one
violation could possibly take a
driver’s license permanently.
The new law is more reason
able as it gives the driver a
second chance on the moving
traffic violations under the ac-
cumlative point system.
Rep. Paris stated that the new
law. “will cut down on traffic
accidents not because of the
increased harshness of the law
but rather because of the fact
that the point system makes a
person more conscience of his
responsibility.”

Alabama Machinery
Officials Visit
The Rubber House
The Rubber House, of Au
burn, dispatched its airplane to
Montgomery, Ala. on Thursday,
March 14 to transport three
officials from Alabama Mach
inery and Supply Company for
a festive occasion in honor of
that company and its decision
to represent The Rubber House
and its products in the Mont
gomery industrial trade area.
The Alabama Machinery offi
cials were Jimmy DeRamus,
Sales Manager; Ray A. Beas
ley, Vice President and
General Manager; and W. G.
Guy, Purchaser.
Alabama Machinery has been
in the mill supply business for
several decades, and formally
represented a major factory
for industrial rubber products.
The outstanding service and
trade acceptance of RUBBER
House products has prompted
this very fine firm to turn to
The RUBBER House as its prin
cipal source of supply in mar
keting these goods in its trade
area. Alabama Machinery op
erates throughout central and
south Alabama, and has a store
at Dothan, Alabama, in addition
to the principal office and ware
house s in Montgomery.
The personnel from Alabama
Machinery feel that their clos
er association with The
RUBBER House will enable
them to continue to build their
trade within their marketing
area, and that their choice of
The RUBBER House as its
principal supplier of industrial
rubber will prove to be a wise
one. They were very pleased
with The RUBBER House fac
ilities at Auburn, Georgia. They
feel that this major develop
ment on the part of The RUB
BER House will supply the nec
essary growth and expansion
for a greater penetration in the
industrial rubber market
throughout the Southeast,

Parents, Merchants
Get Health Warning
On Easter Chicks
Pet shop and variety store
owners, and other merchants
planning the retail sale of baby
chicks and ducks during the
Easter season, were warned
today by the State Health De
partment that research lias so
far revealed no way to prevent
danger to children given these
pets.
Dr. John E. McCroan, the
state’s chief epidemiologist,
said that four “sizable out
breaks” of fowl-borne salmon
ellosis have followed Easter
in Georgia since 1960. Cases
have occurred every year, al
though not always in large num
bers, the health official added.
Salmonellosis is a serious
intestinal illness, accompanied
by symptoms of abdominal
cramping, diarrhea, fever and
vomiting, according to Dr. Me
Croan’s statement.
“While salmonella infection
may not always cause disease,”
Dr. McCroan explained, “man}’
cases may require hospitaliza
tion or a prolonged period of
Intensive treatment."
He said that baby chickens
and ducks make “very unde
sirable” pets for children be
cause children are more sus
ceptible to the infection than
adults, and are more likely to
put their hands in their mouths
after playing with a pet,
“A parent bringing home a
live Easter toy is exposing his
child - and the entire family
- to a small, mobile bag of
bacteria with a built-in, de
vice for spreading germs,” Dr.

Red Cross
In Vietnam
General W. c. Westmore
land, U, S. Military Command
er, Viet Nam says: "Here
on the battlefields of Viet Nam,
I have watched our men in
combat for more than 3 years.
They fight under the most ex
treme conditions. Supporting
our American Forces in Viet
Nam and maintaining a com
munication link with the fam
ilies at home is the American
Red Cross. Red Cross special
ists serve at military hospitals
and on hospital ships. Red
Cross clubmobilegirls from all
over America are serving here
on one year tours. Here in
Viet Nam, every month is Red
Cross month to the com
manders and men who benefit
from the many services the
Red Cross provides.
Telegrams to servicemen
arrive in Viet Nam at the rate
of about 400 a day. A similar
number of messages arrive
daily by air mail. Last Dec
ember, more than 15,000 mes
sages were handled by Red
Cross personnel—a number e-
qual to the strenght of a div
ision of soldiers.
Speaking for all commanders
here—commanders whoarevi
tally concerned with the morale
and welfare of their men--I
commend the Red Cross to
you for its fine, unselfish, and
dedicated work. The outstand
ing performance of the Red
Cross in support of our Armed
Forces in Viet Nam merits the
wholehearted support of the
American public. The men and
women of the Red Cross go
where they are needed and they
are needed in Viet Nam.”
Richard B. Russell, United
States Senate Committee on
Armed Services, says,“In ex
tending countless services to
thousands of Americans who
are victimized by misfortune,
the American Red Cross has
proven to be most worthy of
our support and contributions.
As Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Armed Services
and of the Subcommittee on
Defense Appropriations, 1 am
aware of the aid of the Red
Cross to American fighting men
and their families. This assist
ance has not only been a worthy
example of human kindness, but
effect on the morale and welfare
of our men in uniform has been
an immeasurable contribution
to the combat effectiveness of
our Armed Forces.’

LOCAL HISTORY
Continuing with this issue, past newspaper front pages will highlight local news and history from Winder and Barrow County. This front page is from
the March 20,1968 issue of The Winder News.
Arrest continued from 1A
Halstead continued from 1A
victim for additional obscene
images or videos. Investigators
found instances in which arrest
ed subjects, some of whom had
no prior criminal history, were
working in positions of trust or
jobs where interaction with chil
dren is common, the release said.
Eight registered sex offend
ers were encountered in Geor
gia, during the course of this
operation, four of whom were
charged with new crimes relat
ed to child pornography while
the others were charged with
various compliance violations.
There was an additional person
who had an arrest for a prior sex
offense but was not a registered
sex offender. At least one foster
parent with young children was
arrested. There were also search
es conducted where guns were
found and illegal drugs were dis
covered, the release said.
In Georgia, a total of 38 search
warrants were executed and 12
“knock and talks” were conduct
ed during the operation. Law
enforcement officers conducting
the searches were looking for
evidence of possession and dis
tribution of child pornography
using the internet as well as evi
dence of other child exploitation
related crimes. Over the course
of the operation, 196 digital
devices were examined and 474
digital media and devices were
seized as evidence, the release
said.
The Barrow County Sheriffs
Office was among the numerous
local, state and federal criminal
justice agencies in Georgia that
helped coordinate the operation.
Thursday evening. Bill Halstead
told multiple media outlets Tripp
had passed away. Stacy said the
winter had been “brutal for him.”
“I'm just so thankful he had the
best summer ever,” she said. “Jet
skis, Disney World, the list is end
less and that's when we got those
amazing huge smiles.”
Stacy thanked all of the page’s
“loyal and outstanding” follow
ers.
“We thank you from the bottom
of our hearts for the past 5 1/2
years,” she wrote. “You let us
into your lives and you were there
when we needed you the most.”
A memorial service for Tripp
was held Sunday afternoon at the
Jefferson Civic Center. Bill was
the only family member to speak.
“To say this is a hard day would
be a drastic understatement,” he
said. “Some of the things that
make this easier on us are know
ing the untold number (of people)
that have heard Tripp’s story, or
been touched by his life; that have
become better people through his
tragedies.”
Bill said he saw Tripp’s first
breath and his last, and that he
was “never alone at any point in
his journey.” And, as a member
of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Bill
said he would be sure to be there
when Tripp reawakens after the
resurrection.
Monday night, Stacy wrote a
follow-up message on the Face-
book page, saying that her hus
band was taking her away for a
few days to relax.
“I don’t even know what it
would feel like to go to sleep
and wake up without stress,” she
wrote. “Tripp will always be the
love of my life but he also kept
me on my toes, especially this
winter. My new normal will start
soon and I don’t know how I’m
going to be.
“But I promise to post when
we get back in town and let you
know how the family and I are
holding up.”
Stacy once again thanked the
page’s followers and the com
munity for their support. She
said she and Bill will be going
through Tripp’s belongings and
donating to multiple charities
and organizations. They will pass
on his school uniforms and spe
cial-needs equipment to other
children and therapy centers.
“Thank you again for all your
prayers and support,” Stacy said.
“Love you all.”
