“God Restores Through Dis
cipline” is the subject of this
week’s Sunday School lesson.
Background Scripture is Hosea
£ and 3.
The Memory Selection is "My
eon, despise not thou the chas
tening of the Lord, nor faint
when thou art rebuked of Him:
For whom the Lord loveth He
chastiseth, and scourgeth every
son whom He receiveth.” (Heb
rews 12:5-6.)
— * —
As one studies this lesson one
should bear in mind that God,
the Creator of Heaven and Ear
th and everything therein; when
He made man "in his own ima
ge” endowed him. with a soul
and a mind and gave him domi
nion over nature; but at the
same time God made man de
pendant on God the Creator. He
is the potter and we are the clay.
When God created man he
had a purpose in mind for man
kind. According to the teachings
of Jesus, God wanted His King
dom established in the hearts of
mankind. He wanted all men to
be loyal followers of His; but
He wanted them to be such of
their own free will. God does not
force anyone to become a fol
lower of His. He invited them to
do so, “Come unto me ”
and "Behold I stand at the door
and knock. ...” God does not
force Himself on anyone.
But God, the Heavenly Fath
er, like an earthly Father, kn
ows that a child who grows up
undiciplined will never be any
thing but a "spoiled brat” ex
pecting the Father to do every
thing for him or her, always self
ishly wanting to have his own
way, thinking the Father is “old
fashioned” and not "hep” to the
times if he does not humor him.
A child psychologist has said
that many children prefer to
take the advice of anyone ra
ther than their own father or
mother. Usually this is the fault
of the father or mother, who
fail to discipline their child and
who thus lose their influence on
the child.
Discipline should start early in
life. A child is made stronger
and better able to cope with the
temptations of life by discipline
in the home; and a school, be it
a public school, a private school,
college or university, where
there is no discipline becomes
a place of confusion that can
create in the minds of the stu
dents doubt and fears that can
hamper one getting the most out
of life and contributing most to
life.
— ♦ —
One may think of "discipline”
as something practiced in the
Army or Navy; and certainly
discipline is an essential part
of military training, for without
discipline even the largest army
or navy in the world would be
Ineffective, and confusion would
exist.
But if one wants to think of
discipline as exclusively a mi
litary term, one can say that no
believer in the One and Only
True God should object to the
dlslpllnary action on the part
of God; for all genuine believers
have become soldiers of the
Mighty Army of God. "Onward
Christian Soldiers” is a hymn
hot directed alone to those
Christians in uniform, but to ev
ery Christian in the world.
If one realizes the true mean
ing of discipline and its impor
tance one must admit that there
is no part of life but that can be
made better; than for those who
profess to want God’s Kingdom
to come; and His Will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven” to
be strengthened by the discip
line of God Almighty.
Discipline "separates the men
from the boys” and the true
Christian from the weak, the
hyprocrites, the part-time Chris
tian.
There may be, and there pro
bably have been, times in ev
eryman’s life when he has felt
like asking "Why?” of God Al
mighty. Sometimes sorrow, dis
appointment, a feeling of frus
tration and despair comes to
man.
When it does, just remember
“Everything works together for
good to them that love the Lord.’
Even the deepest sorrow may
be a form of discipline.

France Blamed
For 'Gold Rush’
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
LONDON (UPD—The United
States and its economic part
ners were forced to pour gold
into the market today to feed a
gold-buying rush of record size.
Many dealers said the Ameri
can dollar was under attack and
they blamed France.
In Paris the bullion market
reported it was swamped with
gold-buying orders from around
the world, doubling Thursday’s
record turnover of $6.6 million.
Officials of the much larger
London gold market, main
battle point in the fight to
defend the dollar, kept silent on
their turnover. But reliable
estimates indicated today’s
turnover surpassed Thursday’s
trading of 80 to 100 tons of gold
and set a new record.
Dealers said trading today
easily dwarfed the record gold
turnover at the time of the 1962
Cuba missile crisis.
The demand for gold spilled
over into London’s other market
for precious metal. Silver came
under buying pressure and the
price jumped ll J / a cents to $2.10
for a fine ounce. Dealers said
the demands came from Eu
rope.
The "gold pool” nations—
chiefly the United States—
dipped into their Fort Knoxes to
meet the demand and keep the
price down near its support
point of $35 an ounce.

Check Blast That
Killed Fireman
STATESVILLE, N. C. (UPI)
—Fire Capt. Lee Roy Horton
will be buried here today while
police officers investigate the
explosion that killed him.
State agents reported Thurs
day 15 sticks of dynamite were
used in the ignition bomb which
exploded as Horton started
home from work at 8 a. m.
Wednesday. The bomb mangled
the 41 - year -old fire captain
and demolished his pickup
truck.
Police Chief J. D. Meyers
said the explosion was probably
"a personal thing.”
Georgia authorities had
checked into a possible connec
tion between this case and the
death of Jackson County Soli
citor Floyd Hoard, who was
killed Aug. 8 when a bomb
wired to his car exploded.
Other fire department mem
bers said they were afraid of
another bomb. One fireman, who
had left his toolbox under the
front seat of his car and had
forgotten about it, called police
when he saw the strange ob
ject as he prepared to leave his
shift.
US Seeks
To Prevent
War Outbreak
By ANTHONY TOBIN
United Press International
Greek and Turkish troops,
tanks and missiles today
rumbled up to the 100-mile
frontier between the NATO
allies in a showdown over the
Mediterranean island nation of
Cyprus. On Cyprus, more than
500 women and children, mostly
American, were being evacuat
ed because of a threatened
Turkish invasion.
Trying to prevent a war
between Turkey and Greece,
U.S. presidential envoy Cyrus
Vance carried his Cyprus peace
plan to King Constantine and
other Greek leaders today in
Athens. The former deputy
defense secretary met with the
king and Premier Constantine
Kollias, then went into consulta
tion with Foreign Minister
Panayotls Piplnelis and U.S.
Ambassador Phillips Talbot.
Vance and a U.N. envoy
talked Thursday night with
Turkish officials in Ankara. The
Turks said nothing new had
been brought forward by the
representatives of President
Johnson and U.N. Secretary
General Thant.
The women and children had
been brought into Nicosia from
outlying danger zones on Cyprus
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning. Six transports had
been chartered to get them out
of the battle-ready capital.
In Athens informed sources
said the military was advising
owners of strategic buildings,
garages and warehouses that
the army would commandeer
them in the event of war. Greek
army trucks reportedly were
emptying supply bases around
the capital and moving the
stores elsewhere.
Newsmen photographers and
other witnesses described the
troop build-up. Neither side
made any major attempt to
conceal the heavy troop concen
trations along the frontier.
Cyprus was an armed camp
with antiaircraft guns bristling
skyward against a threatened
Turkish Invasion.
Hundreds of miles of roads in
strategic areas of Greece and
Turkey were under military
control and carried battle ready
troops, Patton tanks and Honest
John and Nike-Ajax missiles.
Both sides fueled their Ameri
can made FlO4 jets. NATO
supplied the sophisticated wea
ponry but never Intended for
Greece and Turkey to deploy it
against each other.
Crack troops of the 3rd Greek
Army guarded the frontier in
full battle dress. Officers
carried with them their sealed
orders.
Turkey moved troops and
tanks all night from Konya,
headquarters of the 2nd Army
Group, to the south coast facing
Cyprus, the island nation about
half the size of New Jersey

Saul’s Owners
Will Retire
A Griffin couple who has been
fitting families here for four
generations will retire from the
clothing business at the end of
the year.
Mr. and Mrs. Werner Wid
mann, better known to their thou
sands of friends as “Sadye and
Werner,” will retire from the
operation of Saul’s on South Hill
street in December.
They expect to have their bus
iness affairs with the store set
tled by early January. Mr. and
Mrs. Widmann will continue to
make their home in Griffin.
“Our greatest assets are the
countless friends we have in Gr
iffin,” Mr. Widmann said. “We
want to continue to live among
them and be a part of the com
munity we have enjoyed for so
many years.”
The couple may make a few
trips to places they have want
ed to visit for a long time but
could not because of their busi
ness.
HOME HERE
But Griffin still will be their
home.
“We are looking forward to
continuing our lives here and
being part of a growing Grif
fin,” Mr. Widmann said.
Saul’s was established in 1930
by Mr. Myer Saul. He had oper
ated a store in Hartwell, Ga.,
beginning in 1888.
Mr. Saul operated the Griffin
store three years before bring
ing his daughter, Miss Sadye
Saul, here in 1933 to take over
the business. She had been asso
ciated with a large department
store in Atlanta and was fam
iliar with the clothing business
with this background.
DEDICATION
She met Mr. Widmann, during
the dedication of a Jewish Tem
ple at Rome, Ga. in 1938.
After a courtship of a few
months, the two were married
and Mr. Widmann joined his
wife in the operation of Saul’s.
Before his marriage, Mr.
Widmann was a salesman for a
large textile concern. He hand
led the Southeastern territory
which Included Georgia and oth
er states.
Mr. Widmann made his home
in Gainesville, Ga., before mov
ing to Griffin. A native of Ger
many, he came to America with
his family when he was five and
became a citizen. He grew up in
New York.
FAMILY AFFAIR
The retail clothing business
apparently ran in the family.
Mr. and Mrs. Widmann open
ed a retail store for Mrs. Wid-
mann’s brother, Harry I. Saul,
in Dalton, Ga., in 1939. They
opened one for her sister, Mrs.
William E. Schrage, in Gaines
ville, Ga. The store in Dalton
continued in operation for 10 ye
ars then Mr. Saul went into an
other line of business. The store
in Gainesville still is in opera
tion today under other manage
ment.
In 1951, Mrs. Minnie Saul Hu
des and her husband, Robert Hu
des, came to Griffin to be as
sociated with Saul’s store. Mrs,
Hudes continued to be associa
ted with the store after her hus
band’s death some 10 years ago.
Mrs. Hudes, Mrs. Widmann’s
sister, was associated with the
store until her death a few mon
ths ago.
COMMUNITY
Mr. and Mrs. Widmann have
been active in many phases of
the Griffin community.
He has headed many charity
drives for the community and
continues to serve as an official
for Griffin Jewish Charities. Mr.
Widmann as a member of the
Griffin Kiwanis Club, helped to
organize the first clothing bank
for children in the public school
system here.
The project has continued on
an annual basis and Mr. Wid
mann still continues an interest
in It.
He has worked in Boy Scout
programs and others related to
serving young people.
GOOD TO US
“Griffin has been good to us
and we, in turn, have tried to
contribute something to the
community,” Mr. Widmann said.
Mrs. Myer Saul, mother of
Mrs. Widmann, makes her home
in Griffin with the Widmanns.
Country Parson
“Most folks in trouble need
help worse than they need
advice.”
