Florida Paper Says
Jesus Like Hippies
The headline in the Jewish-owned Daytona Beach News-
Journal startled me .. .
SAYS MISSIONS SPEAKER
Hippies Sound Like Chri
ippies dound Like Christ
This incredible heading was based on two paragraphs—
“ Young people are really r‘say'i.ng“thr.oe tl}ings.“ _she con-
Christians who shared the necessities of life and lived lives
devoted to communicating love.”
Any modern day Christian would be indignant about such
oratorical trash and the treatment it got in a Jewish-owned
newspaper. A four-column banner headline, with never the
name of Jesus Christ mentioned in the story! Only in the
headline.
I am not proud that I once worked on the Daytona Daily
News, but it wasn't Jewish-owned at the time, Naturally,
the Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ, although they
crucified Him. They do admit Him as a prophet but not a
Savior.
Jewish-Owned Paper Admits Christ
But the Jewish-owned Daytona Beach News-Journal ad
mits there was a Christ by putting Him in headlines. In a
slurring way, of course.
If Publisher Herbert Davidson doesn’t hear about such
a larcenous charge that Jesus and the hippies were alike,
the good Christians of Daytona Beach would have to be
asleep. Can you imagine such diatribe ?
Imagine linking Jesus Christ, who went about doing good,
to the tramp hippies who break all the moral laws and live
by sponging on irresponsible people! In their personal life,
they smell!
I hope I shall never see such a ridiculous headline ever
again. It is a form of grand larceny. It is a lick below the
belt of all good Christians.

A veteran official of
Mooseheart, Horton was first
employed as a mail carrier

City on May 15, 1918. After
being connected with the
Engineering and Supply De
partments, Horton was pro

A Lot of Water Used
Before the installation of the tremendous Atlanta
Army Depot on Highway 54 and Highway 42, the City
of Forest Park counted maybe 3,000 population. Now,
27 years later . . .
Today? Believe it or not, the population of Forest
Park, called the fastest
growing city in the United
States, runs between 25 and
30,000 men, woman and chil
dren.
Last Monday night the
Mayor and Council held a
special meeting and talked
over the feasibility of seek
ing water from the County
But it was decided, since
the County has little extra
water to sell, for the City
of Forest Park to continue
its agreement with the
City of Atlanta. Extra
water comes from the
Chattahoochee River and
Lake Lanier, and there is
an inexhaustible supply, it
seems.

How many gallons do
Forest Park users of city
water demand daily. An
astonishing 2,000,000 gal
lons daily! Councilman
Walt White verified this
amazing gallonage. Walt
signs the City of Atlanta
checks.
Forest Park population has
increased a lot by the con
struction of so many apart
ment buildings. And, of
course, by the influx of in
dustry, bringing new people
into the area. Home building
has kept spaces. And many
Depot employees live in For

1941,
“Happy Herman’s.” Chick
fil-A, salads, homemade ice
cream and pies and other
delicacies are available for
consumption on the premises
as well as complete carry

PUBLISHED WEEKLY
One of Forest Park's most public
spirited men-—former Mayor William
H. Fleming-—deserves, we believe, to
serve another term on the Merit Board
of the City of Forest Park.
Mr. Fleming’s term is running out.
He has done a wonderful job for the
employees who come under the Merit
System. Mr. Fleming is no *‘yes” man;
he speaks his piece. He stands up to be
counted.
Why, then, shouldn't Mr. Fleming
be continued on the Board? We think
he should, as we mentioned in the be
ginning, and we feel Forest Park’s
alert Mayor and Council will agree.

EDITORIAL
Mr. Fleming retired last year after
a long number of years with the Chev
rolet Plant. But he didn't retire from a
valiant role of public service. He serves
on the advisory board of the Clayton
County Juvenile Court and Home, and
he is one of the most interested and
enthusiastic workers in Family Care
of Clayton County.
When you have a good man who
can give full time to his job, you con
tinue him in office, unless, of course,
you want to play petty politics. We are
sure Mayor and Council of Forest Park
are above such chicanery.
