v THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS-JULY 13, 19/3
■ . >
A MESSAGE EROM CARROLL TALEANT ON DOPE, PILLS, AND VIOLENCE
The dope and pill traffic in Forsyth County has reached alarming propor
tions in the last three and one-half years. It is high time that all fathers and
mothers and their children stand up against this “terrible curse” and be
counted.
Recently we have witnessed friends killing friends, children alledgely having
their parents murdered, armed robbery with the victims being killed and all
manner of break-ins and theft, most of which can be traced directly or indir
ectly to dope or pills.
Three and one-half years ago when I left the sheriff’s office, it was not be
lieveable that these things could, and would be happening in our county.
This was something that we read about in the papers. We had no idea that it
could ever reach its tentacles into Forstyh County.
When 1 was sheriff, with only two deputies, we were able to keep the dope
and pill business to a minimum, and it did not take us three and one-half
years to catch one of the “king-pins” in this business. This same “king-pin”
recently plead guilty to possessing and selling dangreous drugs-and listen to
this; this king-pin will be eligible for a parole in about 18 months and some
of his friends are now saving that he will be out just as soon as the election
is over! His accomplices in this case only received “Probation ” and a fine.
All of our citizens, preachers, teachers and parents should be alarmed, and I
ask you to call on our courts to deal with the dope and pill-pushers and the
“wholesalers” in such a manner thfft will put a stop to this traffic. I ask you
to talk to your District Attorney and talk to your Judges in order to get
sentences passed on those guilty of Drug offenses that will spell justice for
these “awful crimes ” before they reach into your family.
I have an 18 year old son in my home and I’m concerned. I’m concerned
about your childern. I hope you will help elect me sheriff of Forsyth Cogjity
on August Bth, 1972 and then back me up. I assure you that these “Pill
peddlers” and “Dope Puhsers” will go out of business or find themselves in
jail.
I feel that such an alarming increase as we have had in the Drug traffic in
the last three and one-half rears can only flourish when it has “protection .
Crime in Atlanta or other places flourish only when it has “protection from
law enforcement officials.
When it comes to dope and pills we are dealing with the health and life of
every adult and child that can be persuaded to buy and try the “stuff”. I call
on the ministers of our churches to lake a “Text.'.’ on this subject and help
awaken our citizens. Perhaps it would save someone s life before they
become afflicted and addicted.
If vou will go to the polls on \ugiist Bth. 1972 and work for me one day and
elect me your Sheriff. I will do my best, and will work for you 365 days a
year for the next four years and with t/our help and backing we will bring
this drug traffic to a “Screeching" halt.
Come by mv headquarters next to Jack's Restaurant, enjoy a coke and give
me the benefit of your thinking or < all me at 887-7763 or 887-7761.
Thank you.
Carroll Tallant
Candidate For Sheriff of Forsyth County.

sentatives can continue to par
ticipate in the Scou organiza
tion of their homeland.
There had been baked goods
sales prior to 1936 but that year
marks the first natioally fr
anchised Girl Scout cookie sale,
a practice which has continued
through the years and a means'
whereby troops and council s ob
tain a substantial part of their
financial support.
In 1940, the first Girl Scout
troops were registered from in
stitutions for the mentally and
socially handicapped.
The first Girl Scout calendar
for fund-raising purposes was
developed in 1943 for the year
1944, a practice continuing to
the present.
