driver turned into a North Main Street residence, climbed
out of the truck and fled the scene on foot, running toward
the tree line at the back of the property.

fled, according to the incident report.

Office, the truck was last seen on Nov. 14 at approximately 5
p.m. at 5581 Eatonton Road parked in front of a barn. The
owner said the truck is only used around his farm, so he said
he leaves the keys inside it.

due from a deer collision and a goose neck hitch in the bed.

Defense
Continued from A4
prepared.
In earlier days, no one
rushed away from home to
shop at a mall, and we had
never heard of Black Fridays.
There were no smart phones
to keep people from partici
pating in conversations.
And, during November,
radio station would not have
dared to play Christmas
music and local residents
certainly didn’t put up
Christmas decorations. That
would have been deemed
outrageous!
At any rate, we are fortu
nate to have an important
holiday tradition that is
still with us — the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
In the early days of tele
vision, the live broadcasts
from New York City were
not to be missed. All around
the country black and white
television sets tuned into the
spectacular holiday event, a
long processional of superb
marching bands, motorized
floats, Broadway perform
ers and gigantic balloons
fashioned into shapes of
Bullwinkle, Snoopy, and
Superman.
The buzz of the holiday
crowd, packed five and six
deep, would rise when favor
ite floats, bands, or movie
stars came into view.
The voices of the televi
sion commentators became
excited with anticipation
when the renowned Monroe
Girls Drum and Bugle Corps
came into view.
These attractive schoolgirls
from rural Georgia were a
perennial hit, appearing for
many years in the Macy’s
Parade before a national
television audience of over
60 million viewers.
The musical performance
and showmanship of the
Monroe girls electrified
New York crowds. Decked
out in purple skirts, white
blouses and plumed shakos,
this entertaining contingent
literally thundered down
Broadway to wild and enthu
siastic applause. With blaring
horns, pounding snare, tenor
and bass drums, and wildly
fluttering skirts, the march
ing band quickstepped with
fancy footwork and intricate
routines that are rarely seen
today.

Named “Georgia’s
Daughters ofGoodwill”bythe
state legislature, the Monroe
Girls Drum and Bugle Corps
were much more than parade
participants: they were inter
national music champions,
performers at Carnegie Hall
andNFLhalftimeshows, and
concert musicians appearing
in major cities like Chicago,
Philadelphia, and Miami.
And when I watch the
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day
Parade, I think about those
Monroe girls whoonceplaced
Georgia in the national spot
light so many years ago.
This week, let’s take time
to count our blessings and to
give thanks for a lot of things.
And, most of all, I hope
each of you will have a happy
Thanksgiving.
