This Week’s Editorial
Especially For Women
Today’s Subject
Is Marriage
The subject for discussion today is marriage.
It began with Adam and Eve. As the old saying goes,
they married and raised Cain. Neither of them could tell
the other, though, that they could have done better. The
only time that Adam or Eve could brag about the one that
got away was upon returning home from fishing. Then too,
they always had an opportunity to start all over again, turn
a new leaf, so to speak.
Many interesting customs are attached to the marriage
ceremony. One of the most ancient is throwing a shoe after
the bride and groom. Its origin is lost in antiquity but the
custom appears closely akin to the ancient Jewish practice
of the seller removing one of his shoes and presenting it to
the buyer as evidence of ownership upon the transfer of
property. Later, in early Anglo-Saxon times, the father of
the bride would hand over one of her shoes to the groom
who would tap her lightly upon the head with it as a gesture
of authority.
As for the very word “bride”, it began with an Anglo-
Saxon word which meant “to brew”. A wife in those Olde
Dayes was supposed to make the family ale and girls brew
ed up special batches for their weddings to show the guests
how good they were at it.
Coming up to “modern” times, the Bureau of the Census
is the source of this startling bit of information: A million
more American women than men reported they are mar
ried. That’s right, MARRIED, not widows. From this we
can only surmise that Denmark is not the only place where
something is rotten.
Also we are told that half the women who marry do so
before they are 21. Twenty five years ago the average
young woman got her first marriage proposal at the age of
17. Now it is said to have dropped to 16. We won’t argue
whether this is correct. The only statistic about marriage
which we are prepared to support without equivocation is
the one which says that 100 percent of all married women
are wed to male members of the species.
State Revenue
Goes Up
THOMASVILLE TIMES - ENTERPRISE
With around S6O million per month in state revenue, it
is foreseeable that Georgia may collect around three quar
ters of a billion dollars from all sources during the current
fiscal year.
And there is a possibility, says State Revenue Commis
sioner Peyton Hawes, the state could wind up the fiscal
year with a surplus of S2O million, but he also points out
that there could be a S2O million shortage, depending on
the condition of the national economy.
With the wave of inflation spreading in all directions
and affecting every facet of our national life, which in
cludes that of Georgia, it is understandable the gross sum
of money intake will increase. But inflation operates also
to reduce the purchasing power of the dollar, thus taking
more dollars to accomplish the same job that would be
done under a tighter economy governed by less inflation.
It his been only a few years since the talk of a half billion
revenue intake was considered fantastic imagining. But now
it is nearing the three billion figure and as inflation grows
with cheapening dollar values the figure will go up.
The figure of S6O million per month is more than the
total annual revenue of the state was back in 1943-44 dur
ing World War Two, when it was around SSB million.
Largest single source of income to the state is from the
sales tax which has grown into a tremendous figure. It was
originally passed for the purpose of financing the Minimum
Education Foundation, which had been approved by the
voters.
The state’s school budget has steadily mounted and the
sales tax has also grown, as it operates like a thermometer,
it goes up and down, according to the dollar value of pur
chases by the people. As inflation cheapens the dollar and
reduces its purchasing value, more money is then required
for each purchase and the larger the amount the greater
sum of money produced by the three per cent levy.

Why Selfishness?
Why are people so selfish? I
have always been taught that
happiness comes in sharing and
living for others. But, there
doesn’t seem to be too many
who share that view? What Is
wrong with people? W.P.
The other day I heard a ques
tion asked on television on one
of the quiz programs: "What are
the birds doing when they chirp
and warble? "A choice of three
answers were given:
1. Are they singing because
they are happy? 2. Are they
calling to their mates, or 3. are
they warning other birds to
keep away from their territory?
I was surprised that the answer
was: they are warning other
birds to stay away from their
area. I was surprised because
I had always thought that birds
warbled and chirped because
they were happy.
But It underscores an Impor
tant point: much of nature is
selfish. Wild animals live by the
law of tooth and claw. Insects
eat each other. Birds use what
ever means they have to keep
others away from their food
and nests.
While human beings were cr
eated in the image of God, and
were originally unselfish, sin
entered the human family, and
man adopted the principle of
self-preservation. He was not
intended so to be. Because of
sin, that diabolical rift in hu
man nature, most people are sel
fish. But Christ can change all
that. He said, "Ye have heard
that it hath been said, Love your
neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say unto you. . . bless
them that curse you, and do
good to them that hate you.’’
Only through Christ can we be
rid of selfishness.
