Hit-and-Run Driver Didn't Stop -
So a Little Child Had a Broken Heart
One of those miserable people who are privi
leged to have a driver’s license went speeding
along by 117 East Street, Forest Park, the other
day and hit a Chihuahua puppy.
The driver of the black automobile looked
back, and then stepped on the gas. He took off,
as the saying goes. He left behind a badly
wounded dog—the pet of a 10-year-old child; if
he had stopped and taken the puppy to a vet
erinarian, the odds were very much in favor of
the puppy surviving.
Instead, the cowardly driver left the scene—
and probably would have done the same had it
been the little girl he'd hit, instead of the puppy.
Words can’t describe the kind of cowardice in
volved in such as this. A miserable, slinking, no
good individual.
For three days the little girl couldn’t sleep.
She didn’t eat much or sleep at all until her
father bought her another puppy.
If an adult was at the wheel of the death
car and has children of his own—-or if It; was
a woman driver who has children we hope they
read this editorial. They almost ruined a little

girl’s Christmas. She still can’t forget the loss
of her puppy, even though she has another one.
If the killer doesn’t have children he would
still understand that the breaking of a little j
girl’s heart is a dastardly thing. A hit-and-run
driver isn’t fit to be behind the wheel of an j
automobile; indeed, is hardly fit to live in a
decent society.
Such a person, displaying a yellow streak
when he or she stepped on the gas and left the
scene and the desperately wounded puppy may
have been a Merry Christmas, but It is our hope
that somehow a higher power will intervene and
work on the conscience of such a despicable in
dividual. Usually, though, these hit-and-run
rats don’t have a conscience. They simply travel
around as a menace to society until one day the
long arm of justice catches up with them, and
then they cry Innocence, and it really touches
lawmen to hear their tales of woe. A curse on
the driver of the car who hit the Chihuahua
puppy and then didn’t have the common de
cency to stop and try to save its life. Our hearts
go out to the little girl who cried until it seemed
as if her heart would break.

Dear Mr. Troy:
Please accept our grateful appreciation for the splendid coop
eration we received from the Forest Park Free Press & Clayton
County News & Farmer during our 1962 Candy Sale which ended |
on December 3rd. Certainly, you and your staff helped us to make
this .the most successful Candy Sale yet.
The Camp Fire Girls program strives to build into a girl’s life
interests, skills, friendships, and values which she can make use of
as a girl and as an adult. Good experience in a well-administered,
business-like Candy Sale contributes to the development of skills
in management of money and time, business methods, and good
citizenship.
Many, many thanks for assisting us in giving a constructive
program to the Camp Fire Girls in our community as well as in
raising funds to further camping opportunities for the girls.
Very truly yours,

Sure would like for you to put
this in an early issue, the next

Thank you a lot, and MERRY
CHRISTMAS to you and your

Dear Jack;
This is a good time of the year
to tell a man how much you
think of him. So here I go to
you . . . Well, Christmas is here
again and we are passing the
telephone posts faster than H.
I always remembered you as
well as John and Ed. I remem
ber you in being nice to me
many times.
I still have Don’s picture you
made at the field trial. I was
glad that you made it in more
ways than one. One was so
that big feeling Yankee judge
over at Cartersville could look
at the best dog I ever had (and
I many others had, as for that).
|He got better all the time. He
; lived and was very active, to
12—and small tumor showed up
right at hunting time at the
edge of his sheath, and took it
off, and soon it began to grow
and got to the size of a quart
cup, and we put him to sleep.
Jack, old friend, I wish for
you and yours a fine holiday,
and a good, healthy, prosperous
good new year.

FP Scout Troop 169
Visits North Georgia
Fifteen members and four
adult leaders of Scout Troop 169
spent a recent week-end camp-I
ing at Desoto Falls State Park
near Neel’s Gap. Arriving Fri
day evening at the park, camp
was quickly set up and soon the
boys were cozy and warm in
their sleeping bags, settled for
the night. And just in time, too,
because just then it started
raining. Everybody just snug
gled down a little deeper and let
the rain beating on the tent put
’em to sleep. Next day was clear
and cold—just right for a hike
up Blood Mountain. Most of the
Climb up this famous mountain
which is 4438 feet high, was
through a deep snowfall. Need
less to say, a snowball battle
was enjoyed by all—all the way
to the top of the mountain, in
fact.
Soon after reaching the sum
mit a roaring log fire in the
fireplace of the mountain-top
cabin was warming everybody
for the return trip back down
the trail.
Next morning, after a big
breakfast of hctcakes, syrup,
bacon and hot chocolate, a brief
Sunday School period was ob
served. Camp was broken and
everybody piled on the bus for
the trip back to Forest Park.
Scout leaders making the trip
were O. L. Broadwell, H. B.
Cruce, E. D. Brown and Davis
Carter, along with the following
Scouts: Mike Minter, Tommy
Carter, Billy Carter, Dennis
