Right to Life
Dear Editor,
In the DCCW News column there was
an article on Right to Life, April 1,
1973, of which I detected a confused
idea of what the pro-life forces are
striving to do. The case which was
reported was very heart-breaking and we
are quite aware of some of these
existing cases, but the Right to Life,
Birthright, and other pro-life
organizations have NEVER tried to
make judgments which are not theirs to
make. Each situation is a different one
and must be ethically decided between
parents and their physician. However,
never must we forget that there is
another life to consider also. It is this
precious life, God given, that we seek
to educate people on.
The Right to Life organizations are
an educational and legislative group.
Ours is to keep the Judeo-Christian
principles of faith of which this country
was founded upon in tact. That is to
save life from the time of conception to
death (natural death), except when the
life of the mother becomes a concern,
and in danger.
I would like to finish by asking all
those who feel skeptical, as the author
of the DCCW column does, please
contact the Right to Life groups and
become informed before YOU pass
judgement. We are concerned with
society, not with just one case . . .which
is rare.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Vance E. Logan, Jr.
President

THE COOK’S
NOOK
This recipe for Salmon Croquettes is a favorite in Columbus. The Sour Cream
Mustard Sauce adds quite a lot of zip to the dish. (While salmon is rather expensive, I
guess you could call this an economy dish when one can feed 4 to 5 people.)
SALMON CROQUETTES
1 can (1-pound) red salmon
Juice of 1 lemon
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 medium onion, grated
Dash of salt and pepper
Vi cup corn meal
Drain salmon, removing bones and skin. Mix all the other ingredients, shape into
rolls or croquettes. Fry in deep fat until brown. Drain on paper towels.
SOUR CREAM MUSTARD SAUCE
Vi cup mayonnaise
x h cup dairy sour cream
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, drained
, 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
Juice of Vi lemon
Vi teaspoon each sugar, salt, cayenne
Mix all ingredients. Serve hot or cold.
Miss Jim’s Casserole is another favorite. It can be prepared the day before, or if you
have a family of four you can freeze half of it for another meal. Needs only a green
salad for a fine meal.
MISS JIM’S CASSEROLE
1-pound mild pork sausage
2 medium onions, chopped
1 cup raw rice
3Vi cups water
1 stalk celery, chopped fine
2 packages dehydrated beef-noodle soup
1 cup beef broth (use bouillon cube)
Vi cup blanched slivered almonds
Paprika
Fry sausage over medium-low heat until done but not hard. Drain on paper towel.
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat, lightly saute onion. Cook rice in the water for 15
minutes, add the celery and onion and dry soup mix. Cook 10 additional minutes,
stirring frequently. (Add more water if necessary, you don’t want it dry.)
Crumble up the sausage; add. Stir in broth and almonds. Put in baking dish, sprinkle
with paprika, bake 45 minutes in 350 F. oven. Serves 8.
The Chef wishes to thank Mrs. Joseph Spano for these delicious recipes and state
that next week recipes from other Columbus Georgia contributors will be published.
Please readers, hurry with your cooking hints and gourmet ideas to The Cook’s Nook,
care of the Southern Cross, Box 232, Waynesboro.

An Understanding of Easter
RON PACHENCE
We’ve all had the experience at one
time or another: the wondering
moment, the lingering doubt -- just
hanging there for an instant and then
dispersed by the flood of details that
constitutes the substance of our lives.
But the question never entirely leaves
us. “To what end?” “Why bother?” “I
just don’t care any more.”
Oftentimes these dark moments
accompany a personal crisis. A death or
sickness in the family. Divorce. A
broken promise or a goal never attained.
Yet, more and more, modern man
experiences this emptiness as the warp
and woof of his existence.
A whole contemporary philosophical
school, in fact, was born out of this
anxiety, and its impact can still be felt
in the theater, films and literature of
today. Names like Kafka, Pinter, Albee,
Sartre, Camus linger, if not as household
words, then at least as this century’s
most quotable spokesmen on the
reading lists of high school and college
students.
What is it that haunts us in these
moments of despair? Is it a sickness we
have inherited from another generation?
Or are we the architects of our own
feelings of failure?
I think rather than a sickness, this
anxiety which we all share from time to
time is more the manifestation of man’s
most fundamental human experience.
His search for ultimate meaning and the
inexplicable intuition that this search is
doomed to failure.
On the one hand, we want to know
how our lives fit into a greater pattern
of our society, our world and our
universe.
On the other, this knowledge is
ultimately beyond us, for in everything
we do, we are troubled with the
certainty that death will undo it. So we
build monuments to ourselves lest our
names pass from memory forever.
How is the Christian to face this
dilemma? It is, I think, too glib an
answer to dismiss these questions with a
simple, “God has planned everything.
So whatever happens is his will.”
Besides, non-Christian believers can say
the same. It is of course our faith in
God’s power, in his word, Jesus, and in
his spirit that identifies us as Christians.
As Christians, we can look to the sign
Christ himself has left for us as a pledge
that there IS ultimate meaning to be
attached to our existence. This pledge is
his rising, and there can be no
resurrection without the seeming defeat
we call death.
Resurrection, it seems to me, is more
than mere resuscitation. When we affirm
that we, like Jesus, will rise again, we
are not attempting to confound the
biologists. Rather we are saying that
because Jesus has undergone this radical
transformation in HIS life, we too are
confident that our daily suffering and
ultimate physical death is a gradual,
purposeful movement from a life that
denies us ultimate meaning, to one of
complete harmony with ourselves, our
friends and our God.
This passage cannot be a mere
reconstruction of atoms!
We Christians care, therefore, not
chiefly because someone told us the
answer to the question, “To what
end?” for every textbook answer to
such questions only generates more
questions. But rather. because in the
rising of the man Jesus, we see a
promise of a new kind of life-a life we
do not fully understand, but one that
gave a more profound meaning to
everything Jesus did during his thirty
some years of pre-resurrection ministry.
A life so new and exciting that it
blinded Mary in the garden and the two
men on the road to Emmaus.
Perhaps, then, the greatest act of
faith we can make as Christians this
Easter is to pray as loudly and publicly
as we can: “I care, Lord. I care.”
