On June 27th, a sheriff’s car
came. The officer advised me
I was under arrest and carried
me off to jail. I was charged

griping over the fact that he

there was a reason for me to
swear out a similar warrant
for a person, but I was asked,
“Has this person hit you,” and
ended that.
So far not any of our in

neighbors or any one else that
has been to my door has had
me arrested because I met
them with something in my

knife. Why have I been chosen
to be arrested when it’s my
understanding that others
have purposely greeted the
dog catcher with ball bats and
other objects?
From all that’s happened
I'm confused and wondering if
maybe I’ve over stayed my
welcome and should move on
or was my fine, escorted tour
up and into the jail with a
deputy as my guide,, just
another gesture toward an
extended welcome?
To no one’s knowledge,
Mother was here alone during
this time, until my husband’s
return home. From in
formation a neighbor had
given him, he guessed where I
might be. I was not allowed to
tell her I was leaving so that 1
could advise her to remain
calm and quiet and await
someone’s return.
I didn’t get to vote about the
dog law, because I had not
been in the city the required
time, but have become in
terested and believe to be able
to register in the near future
which should be a nice
privilege since I only voted
once twenty-eight years ago.
Hoping not to be proved
wrong, I think the city may
have made a good choice upon
selecting the new dog catcher.
He probably is human and can
act it.
Regards to Mr. Hiett’s
article in the HHJ the week of
September 19th of letters and
calls of complaints, in how he
covers all the news. I believe
he’s a great reporter and fully
agree with each word he
printed.
A large portion of the un
pleasant news these people
are tired of reading about
might in some way be
prevented if brought out in the
open public before it gets so
Scout Official Tells
About Area Scouting
Dear Mr. Branch:
The Boy Scouts of America
is nationally headquartered in
North Brunswick, New Jer
sey. All scouting is then
far advanced.
Very seldom that 1 ever
read a paper of any kind until
recently, but try never to miss
a single copy of the Journal
now that I want to know
what’s happening in, around
divided into councils of which
Central Georgia Council
covers twenty-six counties. In
order to more easily serve
scouting, the Council is
and about the city.
Very sincerely,
Mrs, William
(Elizabeth) Neal, Jr.
711 Elko Road
Ferry, Ga. 31069
divided into six districts. The
Thunderbird District is one of
them and encompasses three
counties: Houston, Pulaski,
and Wilcox.
HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL THURS.. OCT. 3, 1974,
Presently, we have a
volunteer organization of
around four hundred
registered scouters who
service approximately
fourteen hundred boys
varying in age from eight to
eighteen years of age.
Heading our volunteer
structure is Charlie Singleton,
the District Chairman.
Charlie along with the District
Committee, give scouting a
program which is aimed at
promoting physical fitness,
moral integrity and a healthy
respect for responsibility.
Scouting is also an
organization which en
courages young boys to work
and play together in organized
leadership called patrols.
In order to arrive at these
PAGE 9-A
goals, we in the Thunderbird
District, have planned several
events to offer an interesting
and worthwhile experience to
every boy involved. The first
of these was a swim meet
which took place August 10,
1974, at Memorial Pool at
10:00 AM. This gave the
scouts a chance to show their
swimming skills to the public.
The Second Event was a
contest which was held to
demonstrate First Aid skills
between the troops. Ribbons
were awarded to Scouts who
performed well. Also, in
November, possibly a Cub
Show is hopefully within our
reach. December will feature
charitable work in conjunction
with the various Civic Clubs
and Nursing Homes.
In the fall the Boy Scouts
have what is called a Roun
dup. This is an Annual Event
which is designed to give boys
who are not Scouts a chance to
become scouts and participate
in the program. Old units are
encouraged to fill up and new
units, packs, troops or posts
arc formed in areas which do
not have scouting.
Going back to some old
figures that have already been
mentioned, I would like to
show what some of our needs
are: The biggest problem we
have is recruiting qualified
adult leadership. As it now
stands, we have 1.5 adults who
are registered to service the
1400 Scouts. Os this figure, 1/3
of the adults really function as
they should which narrows the
adult-scout ratio con
siderably. More qualified
adults are needed to make
Scouting happen.
Equally important is the
need for money that is very
much here to slay. Sixty
percent of our income comes
from UGF but the rest is ours
to raise. Therefore, we
desperately need donations
from businesses to exist. We
also need their services if
money is unavailable.
Community support is the real
existing need as I see it!!!
This may give you some
insight into the operation of
Scouting and whatever you
can do to help us will be deeply
appreciated.
Sincerely, '■
Glen E. Hale
