‘Quotes’
By United Press International
NEW YORK—Floyd McKis
sick, national director of the
Congress of Racial Equality,
commenting on Tuesday’s con
viction of former world hea
vyweight champion Cassius
Clay for refusing the draft:
“Black America will certainly
question a two-day trial in
which an all-white Jury, six men
and six women, took only 20
minutes to reach this verdict
against Muhammad All (Clay’s
Black Muslim name).”
WASHINGTON—Son Thomas
J. Dodd, appealing to his
colleagues to get on with the
voting on a censure motion
against him, which has become
bogged down in parliamentary
maneuverings:
“My life is at stake. All I ask
is that you make a decision.
Don’t drag me through any
more agony.”
WASHINGTON—Rep. George
Mahon, D-Tex., chairman of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee, opposing a plan to put a S4O
billion missile defense system
around the nation's cities,
claiming it would only lead to
even bigger expenditures:
"And we’d all be living on a
crust of bread and working for
the munitions manufacturers.”

Love
Pagan Romans had a goddess named Juno who was
supposed to protect women. They dedicated the month of
June to her and thought that any marriage entered into
during the festival was certain to be a happy one.
In modem times, June marks the end of school, the start
of vacations and continues to be the traditional “month
of brides.” So the society pages of the Griffin Daily News
are beautified with pictures of pretty young women whose
engagements and marriages are told. No doubt every one
of them is confident that her marriage will be the very hap
piest of all time.
As all these brides and their husbands embark upon the
sea of matrimony, we wish them every happiness in the
most important partnership in their lives.
Food
The Progressive Farmer magazine has this warning: “If
shortages of milk, meat, vegetables and cereals, or fruits
occur during the next 10 years, the principal contributing
factor will be the low food prices of the sixties. The cheap
food that American families are enjoying today is a luxury
that the food industry, and especially farmers, cannot sup
port indefinitely.”
The magazine points out that in most years since World
War 11, it has been the exception rather than the rule for
farmers to receive above minimum wages through sale of
their products. “Last year,” the editorial says, “even
middlemen, including meat packers, food processors and
grocery chains, had to fight to keep their profits from
shrinking to zero.”
The Progressive Farmer’s conclusion is: “Today’s prices
that fail to yield fair returns to segments of the food in
dustry are seedbeds that can produce extremely high prices,
shortages, and substitutes in the seventies. And, no doubt,
consumers will find these far more displeasing than paying
prices that will permit food production to expand and our
food industry’s growth to keep pace with our population
growth. Putting price tags on today’s foods that encourage
reasonable expansion is a sound policy and a safeguard
against future shortages and extremely high prices.”
All of which most definitely is food for thought.
Money
It said in the paper the other day that the national debt
presently carries an annual interest charge of fourteen bil
lion dollars. That’s a lot of money, isn’t it? It means that
out of every dollar you pay in taxes to the federal govern
ment, ten cents goes to interest. It seems to us that 10 per
cent is too high. That figure is more than is legally allowed
on individual debts in Georgia. If you lent money at 10
percent, you’d be guilty of usury. But it takes 10 cents from
your tax dollar to pay interest on the national debt. We
•know it takes a lot of money to run the government. But it
could be run cheaper if the administration would pay off
some of the debt and save the interest or “carrying
charges.” A large number of government programs start
out small on “shoestrings” but grow so fast that they have
us taxpayers tied up in knots.
Babies
Many a baby has been bom “with a silver spoon in its
mouth,” meaning that it’s old-man or pretty mama had
some money stowed away for it.
And nowadays, we learn, a baby can earn hard cash on
its own. One we read about the other evening made $6,000
as a model on TV commercials. Movies, newspapers, mag
azines, posters all capitalize on the universal appeal of
babies by picturing them. There’s something wrong with
anybody who doesn’t like babies. Us ? We LOVE ’em I
Snakes
Some snakes are good snakes. Experts tell us that the
good ones eat mice and insects and other such things and
that it is nice to have one around your barn to keep the
rodent population under control.
This is well and good, but it is not always practicable
to introduce oneself to a serpent in order to determine
whether or not he (or she) is friendly instead of the
hostile kind.
The other atfemoon your editor encountered one in such
a manner as to make the civilities of formal introduction
inadvisable. About half of it was poked out of a hole. So
instead of saying “how-do-ye-do?” and “how wdre things
at Eden when you left?”, the editor dashed to a shovel and
attempted to chop it (the snake, not the shovel) in two.
The first effort was unsuccessful. The snake came out fight
ing and the editor made a strategic withdrawal to a nearby
hoe with which he subsequently defeated the striking mon
ster.
It all made him (the editor, not the snake) feel heroic.
The snake proved to be a highland moccasin, a venomous
and poisonous type indeed. It measured just under six feet
long and was as big around as a quarter at pre-inflated
prices. Admittedly, the measured size was rather a dis
appointment as it seemed to possess the girth of a pine tree
and the length of a plow line before it hissed its last.
Nevertheless, it was a satisfaction to see it draped across
the pasture fence where it remained until it started to smell
and the lady in his (the editor’s, not the snake’s) life
asked that it be removed.
Blood
The Arab world was united in one respect, if no other.
A common blind hatred of the Jew was the adhesive.
Nasser fanned that hate until fever gripped Arabs in the
streets of Cairo, Damascus and other such cities. The mis
led Arabs thought they saw a chance for revenge, glory,
victory in battle. They shouted for blood—and blood they
got. Bpt it was their own, not Israel’s. Is there not an in
dividual and personal lesson here, as well as an interna
tional one?

MY A
ANSWER
Discredit Cross
What Is your opinion of Dr.
Hugh Sohonfield’’ so-called
“Passover Plot” In which he cl
aims to use modern scholarship
to “demolish” the Christian my
ths built up around Jesus? I
would be most interested in hav
ing your view of this? H.L.K.
First, I would say that the
argument that Dr. Schonfield
presents in the “Passover Plot”
is not new. Such a plot was an
ticipated by Christ’s contempor
ary enemies. They said: “We
remember that this deceiver
said, while he was yet alive. Af
ter three days I will rise again.
Command therefore that the
sepulchre be made sure until the
third day, lest his disciples come
by night and steal him away,
and say to the people, He is ri
sen from the dead: so the last
error shall be worse than the
first. So they went, and made
the sepulchre secure, sealing the
stone, and setting a watch.”
Matthew 27:63-66.
But despite all these precau
tions, Christ came forth from the
dead as He said He would, and
as the prophecies predicted He
would, and the resurrection be
came the keystone of Christian
ity.
It is not at all strange that an
unbelieving world repeatedly tr
ies to discredit the cross and re
surrection of Christ. The Bible
says that “it is to them that per
ish foolishness.” The marvel is
not that there is a Dr. Schonfield
claiming that Christ’s death and
resurrection is a deception; the
real marvel is that there are not
more like him.
FOR TODAY FROM W.W
Cbe Upper Koomefo
Draw nigh to God. and he will
draw nigh to you. (James 4:8)
PRAYER: Father of mercies,
forgive our coldness, our lack of
response, to Thy love, we thank
Thee for the opportunity to ap
proach Thee through prayer. Gr
ant us grace to keep the lines of
understanding with Thee open
at all times; through Christ, our
Redeemer. Amen.

kind of self-homicide.”
