ANSWER n
Bible Plain
Tin* Bible has something to
say about the harlot and the ad
ulterer. But is there any place
in the Scriptures where homo
sexuality Is mentioned? The
answer to this question Is Im
portant to my mental and re
ligious well-being- I.C.
Yes, the Bible mentions this
subject and deals with It In
quite plain terms. Paul wrote his
epistle to the Romans from Cor
inth, the sex capital or the an
cient world. High above Corinth
was Acro-Corinth where the tem
ple prostitutes accommodated
both men and women, according
to their desires, for a price. In
fact, that’s the way the temple
was financed. Paul knew that
the same or similar conditions
existed in urban Home, so he
dealt with the subject “without
gloves”, so to speak. Following
Is his dissertation on sexual per
version:
“Wherefore God also gave
them up to uncleanness through
the lusts of their own hearts, to
dishonor their own bodies bet
ween themselves: who changed
the truth of God Into a lie, and
worshipped and served the crea
ture more than the Creator, who
is blessed forever. For this cau
se God gave them up unto vile
affections: for even their wo
men did change the natural use
into that which Is against na
ture: and likewise, all the men,
leaving the natural use of t h e
woman, burned in their lust one
toward another: men vjith men
working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that
recompence of their error which
was meet." Romans 1:24-27. I
believe this Scripture is self-ex
planatory.

Editorial Roundup
South Georgia’s
Highway Woes
Cities and towns throughout Georgia have too much
traffic on highways which run through the heart of town.
Everyone in Griffin is familiar with the problem here.
North of us, Marietta is in traffic trouble. And at times the
great expressways of Atlanta are clogged bumper-to
bumper. It moves—if at all—at a snail’s pace.
Cities and towns south of Griffin are having their
troubles, too. Here are editorials from two South Georgia
newspapers concerning the matter s
MOULTRIE OBSERVER
Another highly important link in the Interstate High
way system has been thrown open to traffic. It is the 15.8
miles of four-lane freeway known on the official records
as Interstate-475 and to most Georgians as the “Macon
by pass” on the route to Atlanta from South Georgia.
The barricades were torn down and traffic began flow
ing over the stretch of four-lane highway, although the
finishing touches have not yet been put on the highway.
To South Georgians who live within 25 to 30 miles of
Interstate 75, Atlanta has come "several minutes closer”
in time, if not in mileage.
What’s more important, however, is the knowledge that
motorists now can travel on 1-75 and 1-475 from Forsyth,
Ga., nearly to Tampa, Fla. with no stops for signal lights,
railroad crossings or highway intersections. Travel is limit
ed only by the capacity of the gasoline tank and the need
for rest, food and drink.
But what are these interstate superhighways doing to the
economy of the territory through which they pass? Much
commercial business, including motel, restaurant and
service station accommodations has sprung up along the
interstate routes. Many areas have shown new growth and
expansion.
But what of traffic on the other highways, including
some of the four-lane roads built before the interstate con
struction started ?
Highway counters show that in most instances the traffic
has continued to increase. Unbelievably, traffic has been
growing at such a pace that it now requires both the inter
state and auxiliary highways to accommodate the move
ment of motor vehicles.
It should give a hint to what we might expect in the
future as the population and number of vehicles increase.
WAYNE COUNTY (JESUP) PRESS
Four-laning major north-south highways must become
a reality if towns such as Jesup are to continue to prosper
from the tourist business.
A car was going south on a major north-south highway.
It came upon a tractor also going south, but of course
going very slowly. The southbound car started to pass the
tractor, but the car driver, being alert, looked up and saw
a car approaching. The southbound vehicle, a tourist from
a northern state, had to pull back into his own lane quickly
in order not to hit the northbound car head on.
Now of course, had this accident occurred, it would have
been the fault of the southbound tourist.
But the point is this, tourists from the north are not
going to continue to have close shaves with accidents on
two-lane roads, when they could be more safe traveling
to Florida on four-lane highways. A four-lane highway gets
them there quicker, gets them there without frequent stops;
and as this story illustrates, gets them there without having
slow moving vehicles such as tractors in their paths. Anoth
er factor is that cars will not be entering the Interstate
Highways from every crossroads left to right. Interstate
highways, being limited-access highways, will give this
additional protection to the driver.
Four-laning major highways such as U. S. 301 should
not be looked as a long-range project. This is some
thing that is needed NOW.
The state highway department must realize this; and
our own people in this area must work in concert for
major four-laning all the way from the South Carolina to
the Florida border. If this does not happen there will be a
drying-up of this vast tourist business on U. S. 301 on
U.S. 17,0nU.5. 1. ’
It can not, it must not, be allowed to dry up and force
economic chaos on many people here in South Georgia.
Needed:
Roadside Phones
Did your car ever break down on a turnpike, express
way, thruway Or parkway? If it did and you received im
mediate help, then you’re lucky. We have heard of motor
ists stranded on the Pennsylvania and Ohio turnpikes for
five hours before help arrived.
The motoring public needs some means of calling for
help on the isolated freeway systems now in use in just
about every state. There are dangers, real and imagined, for
people stranded on limited access roads. Too, there is a
possible danger to people stopping to aid others who seem
to be in trouble.
Proposals have been made in some states that emer
gency phones be installed at intervals of a mile or a half
mile. We believe this deserves the immediate and full
attention of officials in every state. There must be some
way to help motorists who are stranded on highways in
desolate areas.

Liberalizing
Abortion
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Intenational
Bills to liberalize abortion
laws are stirring widespread
religious controversy.
A recent survey showed that
abotion bills have been intro
duced this year in 23 state
legislatures. So far, none has
become law. But sponsors say
they will continue the fight.
Most of the pending proposals
are based on recommendations
of the American Law Institute’s
model penal code.
They would permit abortions
to be performed in licensed
hospitals when two or more
physicians agree that (1> the
pregnancy would gravely Impair
the physical or mental health of
the mother; (2) the child would
likely to be born with grave
phymcal or mental defects; or
(3) the pregnancy resulted from
rape or incest.
At present, most states
permit therapeutic abortion only
when it is adjudged medically
necessary to save the mother’s
life.
What Is Life?
Involved in the controversy is
a question that is at once
biological and theological:
When does a fertilized ovum
or embry become a distinct
human person with an inherent
right to life?
Many great thinkers of the
past held that a separate
human life comes into existence
at the moment of “quickening”
—that is, with an intrauterine
movement of the fetus that is
actually felt by the mother.
This view was expounded bj
Aristotle and St. Thomas
Aquinas. It was written into
English common law by the
great, jurist Blackstone, who
held in 1765:
"Life is the immediate gift of
God, a right inherent by nature
in every individual, and it
begins in contemplation of law
as soon as an infant is able to
stir in the mother’s womb.”
Modern biology, however,
rejects the idea that an embryo
undergoes a qualitative change
at the timie of quickening. It
views the development of an
unborn chilid as a continuous
process which begins at the
moment of conception.
The Roman Catholic Church
which is leadinig the opposition
to abortion law changes, finds
itself today in the somewhat
unusual position of quoting
contemporary biologists in pre
ference to St. Thomas Aquinas.
The official Catholic position
was spelled out by the recent
Vatican Council in these words:
"From the moment of concep
tion, life must be guarded with
the greatest care. Abortion and
infanticide are unspeakable
crimes.”
In testimony before legislative
committees this year, Catholic
representatives have denounced
abortion, for any rea son
whatever, as the killing of an
innocent human being who is
particularly helpless and vuner
able.
The Case For
On the other hand, many
Protestant and Jewish leaders
have endorsed the proposed

legislation as a humane ana
moral solution to situations
wnich are inescapably tragic.
The issue was squarely joined
recentij in Rhode Island, where
Catholic Bishop Russell J.
McVinney and Episcopalian
Bishop John S. Higgins issued
diaimetrically opposed state
ments on an abortion bill
pending in the state legislature.
Speaking of the proposal to
permit termination of pregnan
cies resulting from rape or
incest, the Catholic prelate
said:
“Is the child to be destroyed
because the circumstances of
his conception involved grave
wrong to his mother . . . The
child’s right to life is also
sacred.”
The Episcopalian bishop re
plied that:
“Tliereapeutic abortion in the
case of rape or incest is a
wholly proper and Christian
response to either of these
criminal acts. What right
think’ng father whose 14-year
old daughter has been brutally
assaulted would not take steps
to iiuve her pregnancy safely
and quickly terminated? ... A
child so violated has rights far
beyond the ambiglous riights of
a fertilized ovum or embryo.”
Blsl op Higigins also supported
the proposal to legalize termina
tion of pregnancies when
medical tests indicate that the
child would be born with serious
mental or physical defects. He

THE CONGRESS RECENTLY adopted a joint resolution
which put the House of Representatives and the Senate on rec
ord in approval of the extension of more food assistance to India.
The resolution, which went through the House by an over
whelming majority of 311 to 63 and was adopted by the Senate
without the necessity of a roll call vote, expressed congressional
approval of the Administration’s intentions to send $465 million
worth of grain to help feed the starving people of India.
It provides for the shipment of 3 million tons of grain,
valued at $l9O million, to India in addition to 3.6 million tons,
worth $275 million, which have already been committed. This
comes to 6.6 million tons which represents about two-thirds of
the estimated 10 million tons required by India from outside
sources this year.
However, beginning in May the resolution recommends that
the United States grain shipments to India be matched on a 50-50
basis, either in kind or in cash, by other developed nations of
the world. Also, self-help on the part of India is emphasized.
• » *
THE FACT THAT THE United States has committed itself
to furnishing some two-thirds of the outside food needs of India
for this calendar year is about par for the course insofar as our
foreign aid efforts are concerned.
Since the conclusion of World War 11, to the tune of more
than $l2O billion, the United States has endeavored to feed,
clothe, house, and pump life into the economies of most of the
nations of the world. And, for the most part we have been alone
in our efforts while other countries of the Free World, particu
larly those in Western Europe, have grown more prosperous than
ever before.
* • •
THIS NOT TO take exception to the shipment of grain to
India to alleviate hunger and malnutrition and to prevent the
starvation of millions of people. This move is in keeping with the
humanitarian aims of our country.
However, it has long been my feeling that other nation*
which are able to do so should begin helping the United States
carry part of the load of this type of foreign assistance. And the
people of the affected under-developed nations must take positive
and meaningful action to put their own houses in order.
With only some 6 per cent of the world’s population, cer
tainly the United States alone cannot undertake to solve all the
economic ills of mankind.

embryo can never become a
human person “in any signifi

solution is to abort its
development as soon as possi

Bishop McVinney asserted
that a defective child's life
“may not be much of a life by
our standards, but it is after all
the only life open to him. Who

We are likely to hear much
more debate of this kiind as

the emotion-charged issue of
legalized abortion.
