Editorial Roundup
Young
People
So you think that young people are everywhere? Well,
you are right. Absolutely and statistically, you are right.
More than three out of 10 people who live in Spalding
County today are less than 15 years old. (The total popu
lation of the county is 38,400. of these, 11,619 are under
age 15. Another 4,822 are between the ages of 15 and 25.
Altogether, more than four out of 10 people in Spalding
are under 25.) .
We do riot have any figures for the birth rate in Spald
ing, but it is logical to conclude that it is close to that of
Georgia. In the depression years, 21 babies per thousand
population were bom in Georgia. This increased steadily
to 26.4 in 1957 but dropped to 20 in 1966. Thus, it ap
pears that family planning will be an increasingly important
(actor in determining future populations.
Numerous editors have been commenting on young
people. What some of them have said follows.
MACON TELEGRAPH
The underlying feature of all alienation among today’s
youth seems to be rejection of the adult. An alienated
youngster tends to resist or show contempt for the authori
tarian force closest to his personal life. Thus the teenage
“hipster” flees from parental restraint. Campus rebels defy
college administration. And the new left rejects the older
leadership of the radical parties.
The slogan of the Berkeley campus revolt — “Never
trust anyone over 30” — found a response among all alie
nated youth, on or off the college campus. But what puzzles
and frustrates millions of Americans over 30 who are “not
to be trusted,” is that today’s alienated youth has no ap
parent goal beyond freeing itself from the restraints of
middle-class convention, and a vague hope of “fulfilling it
self.”
Kenneth Keniston of Yale Medical School’s department
of psychiatry, after an intensive study of the present-day
youth and its attitude, his written that the alienation takes
the “form of rebellion without a cause, of rejection without
a program, of refusal of what is, without a vision of what
should be.” The rest of us could better understand and
perhaps sympathize with today’s troubled youth if it set
forth its goal, rather than to express merely antipathy to
the status quo and let it go at that.
TULSA, OKLA., TRIBUNE
School is open, and suddenly the world seems to be full
of kids. They come in yellow buses, dominate the inter
sections and jam the stores. For shopkeepers, they are a
market factor equivalent to Santa Claus, Thanksgiving and
Easter, all rolled into one.
The crowd statistics make the older generation shudder.
Nearly half the American population is now under 25 years
of age, we are told, and the proportion grows relentlessly.
It is a cliche much bandied about these days.
“Say it isn’t so,” pleads a reader of maturer years, weary
of being told that she must listen more attentively to the
opinion of the younger generation. That we cannot do.
Census Bureau lists 90 million Americans under 25, of a
total population of 195 million. That’s coming close to the
halfway mark.
But we can set the statistics in some perspective. Not all
under-25s are opinion-molders. If you discount those under
15 (not an easy trick in a household of subteenagers), you
find the “effective under-255” number only 30 million.
Politically they may seem vociferous these days, but then
again you have to discount all those who are too young to
vote. That reduces the effective under-25s to about 12
billion. This figure is in turn reducible in that the younger
generation, like the older, is not assiduous in exercising its
right to vote. Nationally, 60 per cent turnout at a presi
dential election is about average, and 60 per cent of 12
million leaves only slightly more than 7 million.
That is a formidable figure, but when you set it back
against the 195 million total population it is somewhat less
than awesome. But don’t relax.
WAYNESBORO, GA., TRUE CITIZEN
You don’t realize how young the population of Ameri
ca has become until you consider that . . .
. . . Over three-fourths of today’s population had no
adult experience with the stock market crash of 1929, with
the prohibition era which ended in 1933 and with the pre
old age insurance time which began in 1937.
•• . About 71% of the population has had no adult ex
perience with mass unemployment (mid -1941 when 5.5
million or about 10% of the labor force was unemployed.)
. . . 66% have had no adult experience with World
War 11.
. . . Over 50% of the present population were not born
when Sputnik I was launched October 4, 1957.
These observations, reported in the September issue of
Finance Facts, a monthly newsletter on consumer financial
behavior, published by the National Consumer Finance As
sociation, dramatize the decline in America’s median age.
About 40% of the current population is in the 0-19 age
bracket compared to 34% in 1950.
(Note: Over 50% of Burke county citizens are under 21
years of age).
PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
It is much too easy to forget, in the welter of more signi
ficant affairs, that the great majority of Americans are
good, constructive citizens—and teen-aged citizens are,
too, in the same overwhelming proportions.

MY A
ANSWER
Feels Better
I have a 14-year-old son who
was injured in an automobile
accident. I prayed that he
might recover, but the doctors
tell me he will be an invalid
for life. I wish I could tell you
the hatred I feel for the heart
less being you call God. When
you pray to Him, please tell
Him how much I despise Him.
Thank you for listening to me.
Now, I feel better. M. W.
I read the other day of a boy
whose father gave him just
about everything he wanted.
One day the boy asked for S2O,
but his father did not have it.
The son picked up a shotgun
from the wall and killed his
father. Having failed, just
once, to get what he wanted,
hatred and vengeance filled his
heart, and brought death to the
one who loved him dearly.
When asked how he felt about
murdering his father, he said,
“I feel better."
You have poured out your
hatred upon the One who gave
you a child to love for 14 won
derful years, and when He did
not answer your prayer, you
turned on Him, and want ev
eryone to know how much you
hate Him. Like the boy who
killed his father, you feel bet
ter, you say. But do you? This
bitterness toward God and life
will color everything you do.
How different your attitude
than a Christian missionary I
know who recently died of can
cer. She said: "Let there be
no sadness at my funeral. God
has given me a life of useful
ness, a thousand friends, a mil
lion blessings, and I leave this
world with a heart full of
praise and gratitude.” I pray
that your contempt for God will
be changed to love for Him,
and for compassion for all who
suffer in this world.

Religion Today
Battling The
Credibility Gap
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International '
The most urgent problem
facing Protestant Christianity, '
according to one of its foremost 1
spokesmen, is finding away to
communicate the Christian mes- 1
sage to a generation highly 1
skeptical of all religious beliefs. :
To millions of people today,
said the Rev. Dr. Eugene
Carson Blake, general secretary
of the World Council of '
Churches, the whole idea of a :
transcendent God seems like
“nonsense.” 1
Most Protestant leaders agree :
with Dr. Blake about the :
existence of a religious “credi- >
bility gap.” But there are wide 1
differences of opinion about its 1
causes and the strategy that the 1
church should follow in trying to
bridge It.
■ Episcopal Bishop James A. 1
Pike, for example contends that i
there will be “more belief’ i
when the church espouses "few i
beliefs.”
He would jettison doctrines
which contemporary minds bog- '
gle at, such as the virgin birth,
in order to concentrate on :
teachings whose plausibility, he i
feels is more easily demonstrat- 1
ed, such as the existence of God i
and the survival of the
individual human personality '
after death. Bishop Pike says i
that the former is a “reasona- :
ble Inference” from scientific '
data attesting the order and i
coherence of the universe and i
the apparent purposefulness of 1
evolutionary processes. He 1
thinks that “reliably-attested <
psychic phenomena” provide :
adequate evidence for belief in 1
life after death. 1

IT HAS BEEN MORE than two months since the United
States and other major nations of the Free World concluded
the “Kennedy Round’* of trade negotiation; under the 1962
Trade Expansion Act
As a Senate delegate to these talks in Geneva, I have had
a continuing interest in their progress and a vital concern about
the eSect of reduced tariffs on our domestic industries and
American agriculture.
It is difficult at this time to assess the overall situation, but
as far as the textile industry is concerned, the outlook is not
good at all. No meaningful restrictions were agreed to on the
importation of woolens, man-made fibers, or products contain*
ing man-made fibers. Moreover, cuts were made in our tariffs
on most textile and apparel products. The cotton textiles agree*
ment was extended for only three years instead of the five years
we had hoped for.
IN SHORT UNLESS THE Congress and the Administra
tion take corrective action, the textile import problem can only
get worse under the existing tariff agreements.
This is of vital importance to millions of Americans and
to the economy of our country. It is estimated that about 15
million Americans depend on the textile industry to some extent
for their livelihood. In Georgia, the industry is the state’s largest
employer, with 110,000 people on an annual payroll of $475
million. And the apparel industry in Georgia accounts for
another 65,000 jobs with a payroll of more than $250 million a
year.
Thus, it is clear that our government must stay constantly
alert to the import problem and not allow the influx of foreign
made fibers and goods to disrupt the domestic industry. Yet, it
was estimated in 1966 that textile imports displaced the equiva
lent of 198,691 jobs nationwide and about 14,000 in Georgia.
THE TIME IS LONG OVERDUE for effective import
controls, not just for cotton but for woolen and man-made
fibers at well. This is why I have joined 62 other senators in
sponsoring legislation to reverse the import trend.
We have proposed a reasonable and workable solution that
will allow growth in international textile trade and at the same
time protect the interests of our cotton farmers, textile em
ployees, man-made fiber producers, truckers, apparel workers,
and countless other Americans who depend on a healthy dom
estic textile industry for their living.
The same reductionist ap
proach Is carried to a more
radical extreme by the so-called
death-of-God theologians, such
as Dr. Thomas J. J. Altizer,
who would abandon belief in
any kind of deity and focus on
the human figure of Jesus as
man’s best example of an
authentic way of life.
Many Protestants disagree
both with the diagnosis and with
the prescription offered by
radical theologians.
Kenneth L. Wilson, executive
editor of the Christian Herald,
points out that “unbelieving
ness” is a prevailing character
istic of contemporary culture,
not only in matters of religion
but also in politics, foreign
policy and current events.
•■“We’ve been gulled, sweet
talked, sour-talked, manipulat
ed, managed, talked down to
and lied to until we have little
capacity left for believing,”
says Wilson.
In such an atmosphere,
Wilson asserts, it is useless for
the church to try to tailor its
teachings to what people are
prepared to believe. It can only
speak what It sincerely believes
to be the truth, however
unpopular it currently may be.
Dr. Blake shares this view.
The church will not survive, he
says, if it becomes mealy
mouthed in its preaching and
“gives reason to anyone to
suppose that we are calling into
question the reality of the
transcendent God made known
to man In our Lord Jesus
Christ.” He advocates "a
stubborn holding on to spiritual
truth, even though for a time it
has gone out of fashion.”
