The Gem in Georgia's Crown
VOL. 59—No. 45
i
We’ve often wondered just
how well this newspaper is read
—that is, until last week. Now,
we thnk we know From the re-
action to one little four-para- j
graph item which appeared last
week under the heading “Clover,
dale,” we think everybody in
Georgia, and parts of other
states, reads The Times.
We’ve had seme calls in the
past, after some of the water
stories, but they were local. Last
week and this we’ve had calls 1
and from visits. people all over, letters—j
The little news item simply 1
observed that “a doe was killed
two days before deer season.”
It mentioned no names.
But it became the most dis¬
cussed story of the week.
I was over in the gulch with
the Boy Scouts when I heard
it h e first report. I met a
stranger, who was hunting, and
when he learned who I was, de¬
manded to know, “who got that
doe?”
Being tired upon i returning icvuiume
Sunday, I went to bed, but got
little rest. The telephone rang
insessantly People asking, “Who
got that doe?”
Then on Monday, people kept
coming into the office asking
the same question. Some long¬
distance calls were for the same
purpose.
Then on Tuesday, comes Han¬
ger Bob Baker talking about
violations of game laws. He also
wanted to know “What about
that goose?”
The story also mentioned
that a citizen ox Cloverdale had
killed his first goose of the
season. The season opens Nov¬
ember 30.
Finally, Ranger Baker, with a
diligence matched only by Dick
Tracy, turned up the real story.
The report of the doe was
pure hearsy. After the season
opened, four deer feet were
found and it was allowed the
deer must have been shot two
or three days ago, before the
season opened. The second per¬
son to relay the report, changed
it a little and added it had
been positively identified as a
doe. The third person
the story still more and finally
when our correspondent re¬
ported it as a rumor, we,
through a typogarphieal
dropped the word rumor.
As for the goose, it was
domestic and Ranger
reckoned that there was
violation of the law for a
to kill his own goise.
“Sure, I killed it,” said
victim of the
“meanest dang goose I ever
It tired to bite me.”

Published Weekly—Since 1901
Judge John W. Davis, pinch-
ihitting for ailing U. S. Rep.
Erwin Mitchell, blamed the
failure of parents to adapt to
change for juvenile delinquency,
ttn a frank discussion of the
problem before the Rising Fawn
Ruitan Club Tuesday night.
“We undertake drives, build
community centers, contribute
money, write about it, talk about
it but then overlook the one
important thing which will in¬
still ideals in our youth. We fail
to give of ourselves,” Judge
Davis said.
The modern mother is too
busy exercising her rights in
commun’ty affairs, attending
club meetings, working, etc.
and the modern father is con¬
tent to urge his children to ‘go
on and play ball, join the school
club, go camping’ and neither
are quite willing to play ball
with the kids or .take them
camping or fishing. “We are
too busy to give time, to give
of ourselves.”

Here again I can answer based
upon my limited experience,
and what I am told by the
engineers. It is basis, of r course,
that the income if the system

costs of its operation and to re¬
tire the bonds which are sold to
pay for the construction of the

only previous similiar situation
with which I have been con-
