Also of Resisting

Ranger Rowell
Two men were arrested Thurs
day, Aug. 11, charged with ille
gal hunting in Brantley county
and also charged with resisting
an officer of the law in Charlton

State Ranger A. M. Rowell
stated that he followed the two
men for 14 hours before he could
close in on them. The two gave
their names as Lee Walker and
Alfred Ribbon, Ranger Rowell
stated.
The two men were in a boat
and they refused to allow Ranger
Rowell to arrest them. Ranger
Rowell stated that they had a
gun and that after their refusal
to accompany him, he called
Sheriff Sikes of Charlton county.
The sheriff apprehended them,
but they had already unloaded
their boat of whatever cargo it
carried.
The two men were placed un
der a total of SI2OO bonds for il
legal night hunting and also for
resisting a law officer, according
to Ranger Rowell. They will be
tried at the September term of
superior court, Mr. Rowell stated.
The charge of resisting an of
ficer is very serious under Geor
gia law.

Picking Up
Hitchhikers
Is Dangerous
ATLANTA — “It’s a dangerous
practice to give a ‘lift’ to a stran
ger,” warns George L. Evoy, Sec
retary-Manager of the Georgia
Motor Club, affiliated with the
American Automobile Associ
ation.
The record of hitchhiker crimes
rises each summer when auto
mobile travel is at its peak, the
motor club official pointed out.
“Furthermore, hitchhiking is a
gainst the law in most states, in
cluding Georgia,’’ Evoy stressed.
Article Ten, headed “Pedestri
ans,” Section 82, paragraph (c)
of the State of Georgia Uniform
Traffic Code reads as follows:
No person shall stand in a road
way for the purpose of soliciting
a ride from the driver of any
vehicle.
AAA safety officials observe
that many a Good Samaritan has
offered a free ride to a suppos
edly “clean-cut young hitchhik
er” only to wind up in a hospital,
minus car and cash.
Special danger is involved, too,
as regards the motorist’s possible
liability in the event of an acci
dent and injury to his passenger.
In some cases unfortunate motor
ists have been sued heavily by
hitchhiking passengers for inju
ries suffered in an accident.
In one of its latest moves to
reduce the traffic toll involving
military personnel, the Army, Na
vy and Air Force have all is
sued policy directives banning
military personnel from thumb
ing rides on public highways.
The ban does not apply to mili
tary personnel awaiting free
rides at officially designated
“pickup” stations, nor does it
prevent them from accepting
rides offered voluntarily by civil
ians, but it does put a stop to
out-and-out hitchhiking.
“No matter how you look at
it, the motorist has little to gain
— and much to lose —by picking
up strangers along the highway,”
Evoy concluded.

NEW FILL AND
BRIDGES IN
PLANS FOR 301
Brantley Citizens
Confer with
State Officials
Federal Route 301 may get a
complete new fill through the
Satilla River swamps north of
Nahunta and also new concrete
bridges across the stream, it is
Announced by a delegation of
Brantley county citizens who
conferred with state highway of
ficials and Governor Griffin
Tuesday.
The new fill, to parallel the old
fill, would cost about $300,000,
half to be paid by the state and
half by the federal government.
The ultimate aim of the high
way improvement would be a
four-lane route throughout the
Satilla River area. The new fill
would run east of the present
fill to Twin Rivers where the
new survey would cross the old
road and run west of it the rest
of the way through the Little
Satilla section.
The Brantley men conferring
with Governor Griffin and the
state road board in a joint meet
ing Tuesday were R. B. Brooker,
chairman of the county commis
sioners, T. E. Raulerson, sheriff,
and Jos. B. Strickland, state sen
ator.
Representatives from several
other counties along Route 301
also attended the meeting to urge
improvement of the popular tour
ist route.
Contracts for the improvements
on Route 301 are expected to be
let in January, 1956. Long range
plans call for a four-lane nigh
way for Route 301.
