WASHINGTON —A Russian
diplomat, warning that if the
United States further escalates
the Vietnam war the Soviets
will increase their aid to North
Vietnam:
"There is a feeling in some
Soviet dries that we have not
been tough enough with you.”
MANHATTAN, Kan. —Sen. J.
William Fulbright, D-Ark., ac
cusing the administration of
pretending that criticism of its
war policy is an attack on
American men fighting in
Vietnam:
“There is no obligation to be
silent in wartime.”
WASHINGTON —A group of
Democratic liberals, appealing
to President Johnson to resist
demands for the bombing or
blockading of Haiphong harbor
in North Vietnam:
“In the past, administration
spokesmen have pointed out
that such action would be a
direct challenge to the Soviets
to take some countervailing
steps.”

Work Camps
The Griffin Daily News always has felt that Griffin and
Spalding County are a little better than most other places
in most everything. This includes the public work camp.
The Georgia House of Representatives Penal Sub-Com
mittee under the chairmanship of Rep. Jake Dailey of
Cuthbert is inspecting county prison camps. The committee
doesn’t announce to anyone that it is coming to a particular
place. It just shows up and starts looking.
This committee made its first official report the other
day. It is four pages long. The part on the Spalding County
camp required just three lines. Here they are:
1. Facility generally in excellent condition.
2. Food and Supplies—very good.
3. Morale of prisoners—good.
The Pike County camp also got a three-line report:
1. Facility generally in good condition. 2. Food and Sup
plies adequate. 3. Morale of prisoners—good.
The Henry County report: 1. Facility generally in good
condition. 2. Food and supplies very good. 3. Prisoner
complaints: not allowed to have radios or hair grease.
Prisoner Elkin Ingram said he was cursed by the custodians
and had to “mess up” in order to get transferred. He also
revealed that he had 3 years left of a six year sentence and
he had escaped once.
The reports on Coweta (Newnan) and Upson (Thomas
ton) camps were excellent. The one on Fayette was not
good.
Prisons aren’t country clubs by any means, but even pri
soners should be treated as humanely as their conduct
permits. The Griffin Daily News is confident that it ex
presses the appreciation of the entire community for the
manner in which the Spalding County camp is operated,
also of the people in other counties, such as Pike and
Henry, for the proper operation of their camps.
The Image
Os America
Vice President Hubert Humphrey said the other day
that the world is getting a “bad picture” of the U.S. and he
quoted Pope Paul VI as saying America’s power is being
eroded by the way ngws events involving the U. S. are in
terpreted to the rest of the world.
The Vice President also said “the U. S. needs to tell the
world of the lives it is saving . . . We need to be known as
the nation of peacemakers.”
This is what a lot of people have been saying.
This nation needs to become the world salesman of
peace. To do this there is a desperate need for a stepped
up program of OUR propaganda. The Reds have such a
program and they carry it through well. But we sit back
and the world thinks we’re aggressors, war-mongers and
evil capitalists. They believe this because our foes through
their propaganda efforts tell them.
The sooner we learn that words are also weapons the
sooner the U. S. story will be listened to and the sooner we
get a better image.
A-Plus Effort
For Ga. Schools
WAYCROSS JOURNAL - HERALD
Georgia continues to merit A-plus in its efforts to build
a Space Age educational system.
A recent break-down on state expenditures shows just
how hard our state is pushing to bring schools at all levels
up to the national average and to assure every young per
son a quality education.
Fifty-eight cents out of every dollar spent by the State
of Georgia in the 1967-68 fiscal year will go for education.
This is only one per cent less than the total revenue ex
pected by the state from its top two revenue sources—sales
and use taxes and income taxes.
Education will get 3 J times as much money as the next
largest item, highways, which get 16 cents out of every
dollar.
Needless to say the emphasis on education is a far-cry
from the picture some three decades ago when it seemed
at times that the schools were the step-children of Georgia.
The early post- World War II years marked the begin
ning of the climb out of the doldrums by Georgia educa
tion. Once the ball started rolling, it was clear that schools
were destined for the spotlight for years to come.
No one familiar with the continuing demands on educa
tion would suggest that we can slacken our effort in Geor
gia. Some observers feel teaching methods and curricu
lums should be better adjusted to the times.
With public support at it peak, the future of the public
school establishment in the state seems assured. Almost
everyone now is an ardent advocate of better schools and
conscious of their role in an increasingly complex world.

ANSWER Vk!

Misery
It seems to me that if there Is
a God He would not allow all
the misery and suffering tn the
world. J.K.
You are assuming that if there
is a God this world would be a
paradise. You are overlooking
one thing: man’s freedom to
make the kind of a world he
chooses. The misery in the wor
ld is not God-made, it is man
made. Our world is not a par
adise for the same reason that
Eden did not continue as a pa
radise: man’s wilful action in
opposition to God.
When a father, with good in
tentions, gives his son. who is of
age, a car he anticipates no tra
gic consequences. If that son
abuses his privilege, turns the
car over and is seriously injur
ed. could you blame the father?
Would you ask, “Why did the
father allow such a tragedy to
happen?”
God put us in this beautiful
world. He gave us a free will.
He laid down some rules for
our good. If we break them (and
we have) and suffer the tragic
consequences is it fair to blame
God? The innocent always suf
fer for the guilty. Defying God’s
law has serious consequences,
individually and collectively.
Even God had to pay for our
wrongdoing. It cost His Son’s
death on the cross. Indeed, He
is more than fair.

“Return to your home, and

PRAYER: We thank Thee,
our Father, for Jesus Christ of

His life in their homes, for it
is in them that the foundations

Thought For Today

16 hours after the A-bomb was
dropped on Japan: “The force
from which the sun draws its
power has been loosed against
those who brought war to the

FACTS
William Ridding Pres
cott (1796-1859) was one of
America’s finest historians.
While an undergraduate at
Harvard University, he was
blinded in one eye by an
accident, says The World
Almanac. Later, the other
eye was made practically
useless by rheumatism. De
spite these misfortunes,
Prescott managed to do
careful research by em
ploying a man to read man
uscripts and documents to
him aloud.
