‘Quotes’
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Sen. Hugh
Scott, R-Pa., endorsing legisla
tion which would permit wire
tapping under court order and
supervision:
“...The balancing of individual
rights and privacy against the
public good is a basic precept of
civilized society. This balance
requires that the public good
prevail.”
WASHINGTON—Secretary of
State Dean Rusk, warning
against false hopes of early
Vietnam peace talks:
“At no time has Hanoi
indicated publicly or privately
that it will refrain from taking
military advantage of any
cessation of the bombing of
North Vietnam, nor has it
shown any interest in prelimina
ry discussions to arrange a
general ceasefire.”

A Sport For
All Seasons
Once upon a time, when sports meant only fun and
games, you could look out the window and tell which sport
was in season. Summer meant baseball, autumn meant
football, winter meant basketball.
Now sports have thrown away the calendar, mainly be
cause more competition means more customers and more
television exposure, which means more money at the box
office. And because team owners are mostly businessmen,
the name of the game is, unfortunately, no longer to win
or lose, but profit or loss.
The football season—the 1967 season that is—ended
with two professional all-star games. The season had be
gun July 9, a full six months ago, with a college all-star
game. Baseball’s World series ended last Oct. 12, one day
after the Natiohal Hockey League had opened its season
and two days before the National Basketball Association
began its season. By the time the hockey and basketball
play-offs end, the 1968 baseball season will be at least a
week old.
Horse racing, a delightful source of tax revenue, has be
come virtually year round in New York State. Hamess
racing for 1968 began Jan. 3, only nineteen days after the
1967 season had ended. The thoroughbreds race here for
only nine months a year, but their season has been length
ening, too.
In the midst of the recent cold wave several New York
Yankee baseball players met at Yankee Stadium for con
ditioning work.
NEW YORK TIMES
Middle-Aged Men
Wanted Draft Card
An avalanche of middle-aged men has descended on
Cleveland area draft boards in recent days.
No, it’s not a burst of patriotism in response to the Pue
blo crisis. The men aren’t volunteering; they merely want
to replace draft cards they lost or discarded years ago.
It all resulted from a story in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer to the effect that many overage Americans are un
wittingly breaking the draft law by not carrying their cards.
By law, all men up to age 45 are obliged to carry one, even
if they have already served. About 15J million men are
in this category.
Like the story of the man who in a fit of defiance tore
the label off a mattress that said, “Do Not Remove Under
Penalty of Law,” and has never been able to look a police
man in the face since, the Cleveland episode illustrates
how basically law-abiding Americans are.
Doubtless, if the government decreed that every citizen,
adult or child, male or female draftable or nondraftable,
must carry an official identification card, Americans would
rush to comply.
They say that eventually every person will be given a
number at the time of his birth which he will use the rest of
his life —for Social Security, taxes, hospitalization and
everything else. When that day comes, doubtless someone
will come up with the bright idea of tattooing the number
on the body so it can never be lost.
Being required to carry a driver’s license while operating
a motor vehicle, or a pilot’s license while flying a plane,
or a housing inspector’s identification card while inspecting
housing, or a charge account card when making charges,
etc., etc., is one thing.
But the requirement that all men between certain ages
must carry a Selective Service classification card, especially
if they are obviously ineligible for the draft, seems disturb
ingly like something quite different.
It’s difficult to divine the purpose of the law. No one
can evade the draft simply by losing his draft card or de
stroying it. If the object is to catch those who never regist
ered at all, cards can be forged.
Actually, about the only practical use draft cards have
ever had is to facilitate the purchase of beer by boyish
looking young men.
Let’s Not
Discuss It
CEDAR RAPIDS (la.) GAZETTE
The U. S. department of agriculture is holding in abey
ance a proposed research project to put a scientific dollar
value on the homemaking tasks of housewives. This is
undoubtedly wise.
Finding out what the daily chores of a housewife are
worth at going market prices would disclose to many an
already hard-pressed husband that he couldn’t afford to be
married if he paid for them.
His wife already knows this, but giving her government
statistics to prove it isn’t going to help matters any.

BERRY’S WORLD
“Do you have the BEST
SELLER, ‘The Exhibition
ist,’ or hasn’t it been pub
lished yet?”
MY
answerO
Happiness
Where does one begin in one’s
search for happiness? Religious
teachers preach that one cannot
find it in social climbing, plea
sure or material things. What
should one strive for to better
himself and achieve happiness?
M.C.
Somehow in our present way
of living we have come to the
place where we feel that every
one must be happy and that this
is the greatest thing In life. But
happiness is a very elusive thing
The word itself suggests to us
how transitory it can be. It is
derived from the English word
“happen” and by its very nature
depends upon the things that
happen to us.
The Bible does not promise to
make people happy, but to give
them inward joy that does not
depend upon circumstances. The
Psalmist once wrote: “Blessed
is the man who walketh not in
the way of sinners. . . but whose
delight is in the Law of the
Lord.” (Psalm 1). That is the
same blessedness Jesus told ab
out in the beatitudes, found in
Matthew chapter V. He said:
“Blessed are the poor, those that
weep, the peacemakers, those
who hunger and thirst after
righteousness, those who are
persecuted for righteousness
sake, etc.”
Happiness, or the Biblical word
"blessed” is the by-product of
the life that is adjusted to the
will of God and regulated by it.
These qualities, found in mature
Christians are the finest expres
sion of the faith and cannot be
debated or refuted by a skepti
cal world. If you seek for hap
piness, you likely won’t find It,
but if you seek God through
Christ, it will come as a result
of a life lived as God designed it
should be lived.
FOR TODAY FROM
Che Upper Roomed
“I had heard of thee by the
hearing of the ear, but now my
eyes see thee; therefore I des
pise myself, and repent in dust
and ashes."
PRAYER: Mercifu. iieaven
ly Father, we thank Thee that
forgiveness is given to those who
repent. We confess that our liv
es are less than perfect and ask
foj- Thy grace to live more wor
thily. In the name of Thy Son.
Amen.
