A great philosopher once said “All things flow. You cannot
descend into the same stream twice.” How very true indeed.'
I agree that there isn’t any sense in changing a horse in
midstream. Instead I say mount the Right horse, or the Ve- ,
hide of Happiness, and as you travel along the road give
nothing but good will and good cheer. It is indeed true that
“Bread cast upon the water comes back cake.”
Make every moment in this life a happy, pleasant one
and in that manner all around you will reflect good will and
joy. We are placed here as but servants to cater to each
other, so let’s spread the good word and l’m positive you’ll
find that Life is the bowl of cherries that we all desire.

NEWS AND CARTOON
Jhe Forest Park Free Press on
May 1 ran the following an
nouncement:
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph McKoy, of
98 Warner Street, Forest Park,
announce the birth of a boy,
Thomas Richard, at Georgia
Baptist Hospital. He weighed
seven pounds, one ounce.
This week, with deepest re
gret, we announce that, despite
heroic efforts of The Forest Park
Volunteer Fire Department and
Dr. Ernest Dunbar, the attending
physician, Thomas Richard this
past week winged his way to the
Promised Land at age two
months.
Death apparently was due to
strangulation of some sort. The
official autopsy report from
Crawford Long Hospital was not
available at press time. To the
fine couple, the McKoys, our
deepest sympathy in their hour
of bereavement.

roading behind him, his wife,
who works in the accounting de
partment of the Ford Motor
Company, is breathing easier.
We wish Brock the best of suc
cess in his place of business, and
there is every reason why he
should do a booming business. He
has the place and the product.
And that good cool air for the
comfort of the customers.
He has no regrets at putting
behind him his 15-year railroad
career. The Brocks have two
