Textile Gains
Sen. Hugh Scott (R-Pa.) has brought up an interesting
alternative to the administration’s proposed foreign travel
tax.
He suggested import quotas on such things as steel and
textile goods which he said would do more to reduce the
balance of payments deficit than the travel tax.
According to Sen. Scott, steel imports resulted in a sl.l
billion deficit for US steel trade last year. Textiles, especi
ally from Japan and Hong Kong, accounted for an SBOO
million loss, according to the senator from Pennsylvania.
He said reducing these imports would be more effective
than the travel taxes which he said would not materially
affect our balance of payments.
The textile industry is a vital part of Georgia’s economy.
It is one of the keystones to the economy of Griffin.
We appreciate the Pennsylvania senator’s concern for
steel and textiles.
But we would suggest that preservation of the textile
industry not be used as a wedge against the travel tax now
being debated.
As best the travel tax will be a temporary measure.
The struggle of the textile industry to survive the foreign
import onslaught is one that has been going on for years.
To use it as an argument against the travel tax would
have short term benefits for textile people. When the need
for a travel tax — if there really is one — ends, then the
textile industry’s argument for a fair shake in international
trade would be considerably reduced.
Let’s keep the arguments for a strong textile industry on
their own merits and not allow them to be used for a short
range goal.
There are plenty of good reasons for keeping this
nation’s textile industry strong.

State Can Help
Fight Crime
ATHENS BANNER HERALD
Promises by Gov. Lester Maddox that he and a special
team of GBI agents will assist in fighting crime at the
local level in Georgia are encouraging.
It seems likely that local persons have been aware of
bad local conditions in various Georgia communities in the
past but have been afraid to talk about it.
Where organized crime gets a foothold in a small com
munity with few policemen or other crime fighters, the
people need outside help in ridding themselves of the
criminals.
Maddox has promised that the people will get that help,
and that is good.
The Governor’s remarks apparently were prompted by
the assassination of Sol. Gen. Floyd G. Hoard in Jackson
County, and Jackson has had its problems.
Large-scale automobile theft operations and illegal liq
uor operations have been reported in that county for some
years.
But Jackson County is not the only local community in
Georgia with problems, and it is likely that others have
needed, and will need the help that the GBI can
provide.
Newspapers have uncovered a wide variety of illegal
operations in various parts of the state in times past.
Courageous local citizens such as Solicitor Hoard will
have to take the initiative, however, if local conditions are
to be cleaned up.
Local citizens will have to support the efforts of men
such as Hoard in public statements, at the ballot box, and
elsewhere if the criminal elements are to be removed and
kept out.
The GBI with its greater resources can help, however,
and, in fact, may be the difference in getting the job done
in many small communities.
We trust the Governor will support his statements with
action.

A man entered a neighborhood pool hall with a piece of
paper in his hand and said: “This is a list of all the men I
can whip.”
“I* my name there?” asked a husky broad-shouldered
brick-layer.
“Yes.”
“Well, you can’t whip me!”
“Are you sure?”
“Dam right, I’m sure.”
“Okay,” replied the man, *‘l’ll take your name off the
list.” —- Milton (Ont.) Canadian Champion

MY
answer®
Pious People
lima Christian, but there are
so many people in our church
better than I. In fact, they are
so good that it makes me un
comfortable to be around them.
You might **w they are very
pious, but it is not my disposi
tion to display my faith, althou
gh I believe in God very deeply
and sincerely. Is the trouble
with me or them? M.T.
Perhaps It is a little of each.
Jesus said, “Beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees.” They
majored in what we might call
exterior religion. It showed, it
was impressive, and it was pi
ous. But Jesus said, “Except
your righteousness exceed that
of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye
shall in no case enter the king
dom of heaven.” So, don’t be
tempted to be like those who
make an outward “show” of
righteousness. However, when
we are truly followers of Jesus
Christ, the world will recognize
it. True Christianity, however,
shouldn't make people uncom
fortable. Jesus mingled with pub
licans and sinners. They appar
ently enjoyed His company.
The Bible warns us against
"emulations”, or seeking to sur
pass others just to be better than
they are. Paul wrote: “But they
meauring themselves by them
selves, ana comparing themsel
ves by themselves are not wise.”
Jesus Christ is our standard of
measurement, and mere men
should not be a yardstick for our
piety or conduct. “Till we all
Come. . . unto the measure of the
stature of the fullness of Christ.”
Eph. 4:13.

"I am with you always, to the
close of the age.” (Matthew 28:
20, RSV)
PRAYER: O Lord, the Faith
and firmness of our Christian
fathers puts us to shame. See
ing their steadfastness, we no
tice our weakness. We pray
Thee, grant us the mercy to rely
on Thy Word and to trust more
in Thee. For Jesus’ sake. Amen.

FACTS
The aardvark is so dif
ferent from other living
animals that it is classified
in its own special order
Tubulidentata or “tubule
toothed. The aardvark’s
teeth are a parallel series
of tubes of dentine without
enamel covering, says The
World Almanac. The aard
vark (Afrikaans for “earth
pig”) has ears like a
donkey, a body like a pig
and is found wild only in
Africa.
