‘Quotes’
By United Press lute* national
CAlßO—Syrian Defense Mi
nister Maj. Gen. Hafez el
Assad, quoted In the official
Syrian newspaper Al-Thawra, as
Syrian and Egyptian troops
lined up along the Israeli
border:
“We are awaiting the go
ahead signal from the political
command . . . We have taken
into consideration the possibility
of American 6th Fleet interfer
ence.”
WASHINGTON —Sen. Jacob
Javits, R-N.Y., commenting on
U.N. Secretary General Thant’s
approval of the withdrawal of
U.N. peacekeeping forces from
the Gaza strip dividing Egypt
and Israel:
"If there has ever been a
time for the U.N. to show that
it is capable of heading off
actual hostilities, this is it.”
WASHINGTON -State De
partment spokesman Robert J.
McCloskey, announcing that the
United States had no choice but
to move troops into the
allegedly Demilitarized Zone
separating the two Vietnams:
“North Vietnam has been
using the area illegally to
support aggression against
South Vietnam.”
Almanac
For
Griffin
By United Press International
Today is Monday May 22, the
142nd day of 1967 with 223 to
follow.
The moon is between its first
quarter and full phase.
TTie morning star is Saturn.
The evening stars are Venus,
Mars and Jupiter.
Born on this day in 1907 was
British actor Lawrence Olivier.
On this day in history:
In 1807, former Vice Pres
ident Aaron Burr went on trial
for "treason” in Richmond, Va.
Burr was acquitted the follow
ing August on charges of
plotting to set up a state
independent of the U.S. govern
ment.
In 1868, the great train
robbery took place as seven
members of the Reno gang stole
$98,000 from a train at
Marshfield, Indiana.
In 1924, discovery of the body
of Bobby Franks, 13, in Chicago
led to the arrest of Nathan
Leopold and Richard Loeb.
In 1962, all 45 persons aboard
a Boeing 707 Jet flight from
Chicago to Kansus city died
when the plane crashed in
southeastern lowa.
Some Good News
For Poor Students
This is the time of year when accolades rightfully go
to the outstanding college and high school seniors who
have made splendid grades during their academic careers.
The Griffin Daily News appreciates and praises them,
too. They have earned and deserve every recognition and
every academic honor received.
Yet graduation from school is but the beginning of a full
and productive life. The winning of scholastic awards and
recognition is achievement at only one of the mileposts
along the highway of life.
So this is a good time to spread a word of good cheer to
all those who passed their work but with less than honor
grades.
Fifty independent studies show no correlation between
grades and success in later life. This was reported to a re
cent conference at the University of Maryland by Ed
ward J. Shoben, Jr., director of the Commission on Aca
demic Affairs of the American Council of Education. He
said that getting high grades is a special skill which consists
of “learning to get along with the system.” But he point
ed out, the academic system is not duplicated outside the
campus.
Success in life after school may or may not go to the
straight-A scholar. Other qualities will be equally import
ant. These include personality, hard work, stickability and
such.
Free Speech:
Two Way Street
President Johnson put it succinctly the other day:
“We must guard every man’s right to speak, but we must
defend every man’s right to answer.”
It is not a statement that will appeal to the dissenters at
whom it was directed.
The first clause offends because it punctures the aura of
martyrdom in which a few of the protesters against the war
in Vietnam in particular and the government in general
have wrapped themselves. It is difficult to be a martyr to a
cause when authority defends your right to embrace that
cause.
And since the President obviously includes himself and
his administration in the second half of his sentence, this,
too, will offend some of the dissenters.
To a small but loud-spoken minority of them, freedom
of speech seems to mean the right to call the President of
the United States a “buffoon,” his secretary of defense a
“racist” and his secretary of state a “murderer.” It does
not entail the right of these men to reply.
The President’s statement should now make it clear that
this is neither his way nor the traditional American way of
doing things.
It is unfortunate that there have been some attempts, in
and out of government, to equate dissent with disloyalty or
to shift the responsibility for the war on those who oppose
it.
Even if the President himself may occasionally default
on his own words in defense of dissent, the fact remains
that the war dissenters are and have been and will continue
to be free to protest and demonstrate and express them
selves all they want.
That they have so far failed to sway either the govern
ment or any great numbers of the people is more an indict
ment of their ideas and tactics than would be any misguid
ed official or unofficial attempts to suppress them.
History will determine whether the dissenters are right
or wrong about Vietnam. But one thing can be said with
certainty today: The President was never more right than
when he said freedom of speech will never harm America
“as long as we remember it is a two-way street.”
A Chain
Reaction
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS
Remember the house that Jack built? The English have
modernized it:
A tiny button fell of a factory switchboard. Two engi
neers tried to replace the button, which rolled under a cabi
net. To move the cabinet required two carpenters, who tore
the linoleum. To restore the linoleum took two linoleum
layers, who found a heater that had to be moved first. To
move the heater required two electricians, who discovered
a hole in the floor. Finally, it took two bricklayers to fix
the floor that supported the heater that stood on the lino
leum that was under the cabinet that was over the button
that fell off the switchboard.
But this is no nursery story. It’s a dispatch from Reuters
and a true story. All in all, it took 10 specialists from six
different unions to replace the button.
Thanks to modem methods of organizing a labor force,
an entire economy can now be organized into futility.

MY A
ANSWER HI
Not Too Late
Will God accept me now that
lam old a nd have lived all my
life without Him? Is it fair for
me to ask His help now? B.A.
Your concern about your soul
at such an advanced age is a bit
unusual. As a rule people be
come so callused to spiritual th
ings when they get up in years
that they very seldom seek a
right relationship with God. You
are the exception and you are
very fortunate.
Certainly God will accept you!
You ask if it is fair to ask for
help when you have ignored
Him all your life. Fortunately,
God is alw’ays fair even though
we may be unfair. We call this
the "mercy” of God. If He
dealt with us only if we were
fair, I’m afraid most of us would
be left out.
I find no age limits in the Bi
ble. The invitation is to all, old
or otherwise. "Him that come
th unto me I will in no wise cast
out.” Os course it is better to
give our lives to God when we
are young. That way our in
fluence is saved as well as our
souls. I don’t know how old the
thief was who prayed to Christ
in his last dying hour, but I do
know that his prayer was heard,
and that our Lord said, "This
day thou shalt be with me in
paradise.”

Except ye be converted, and

PRAYER: God, our heavenly
Father, we pray that we may
have childlike faith in Thee.
Take away our trust in self
that we may humbly rely on
Thee. For Jesus’ sake. Amen,
Thought For Today
A thought for the day:
English novelist William Thack
eray once said: “Tis strange
what a man may do, and a
woman yet think him an angel.”
WORLD ALMANAC
FACTS
The per capita use of
water in the United States
averages about 155 gallons
