WASHINGTON—Defense Se
cretary Robert S. McNamara,
replying to Implications the
United States may have pro
voked the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin
incident as an excuse to bomb
North Vietnam:
“I find it inconceivable that
anyone even remotely familiar
with our society and system of
government could suspect the
existence of a conspiracy.”
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Phil
Constans, executive secretary of
the Florida Education Associa
tion, predicting that more
teachers would join the FEA
walkout that already had
crippled the state’s educational
system:
"There is a ground swell
moving through the state.”

On this day in history:
In 1819, Florida was ceded to
the United States in a treaty
with Spain.
In 1879, Frank Woolworth

He Might Not
Fit In Today
George Washington, bom 236 years ago, was of such
good character it fostered a legend to the effect he never
told a lie.
Debunkers assure us the story of the cherry tree is more
fable than fact, but, nevertheless, it is hard to believe a
like tale about any contemporary public figure could sur>
vive generations of retelling
Os course, this is not upsetting to many people because
simple honesty has gone out of fashion. Today’s man is
not considered dishonest, merely expedient, and the sin
is not in the act of commission, but rather in the fact that
he gets caught.
And even this can be carried off if he is charming and
witty and glib in the modem idiom.
Poor George, we’re afraid, might not fit in today.
For example, can you imagine Washington saying he
didn’t want to get involved? Can you hear it? A group of
revolutionaries come to Washington, the Virginia aristo
crat—Washington, the land-owner, the gentleman farmer.
"Help us,” they say, “help us to build a nation dedicated
to a new concept of freedom. Lead our inexperienced army
against the might of England.”
And George, if he were a modem man, might look out
on his acres of rolling countryside; his stables of blooded
stock; and say with great sincerity, "I’d rather not get
involved.”
Washington could not utter those words because of his
inherent honesty; because he realized that involvement was
the only way he could maintain his integrity. And integ
rity to one’s self is the foundation of honesty with one’s
neighbors.
Shakespeare said it: "This above all: to thine own self
be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst
not then be false to any man.”
Washington said it in his Farewell Address: "I hold the
maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs,
that honesty is always the best policy.”
Involvement to Washington meant many personal sacri
fices. As a rich man, he could have lived in ease and high
comfort. Instead, he chose to suffer countless hardships.
Betrayed, abused, he was the object of jealousy and vio
lent criticism.
Thomas Paine, an eminent American patriot, turned
against our first president and called him "treacherous
in private friendship and a hyprocrite in public life.” Wash
ington was stung by scathing attacks in the press of the day
and complained to Thomas Jefferson of "such exaggerated
and indecent terms as could scarcely be applied to a Nero,
a notorious defaulter, or even a common pickpocket.”
Washington did not believe in patriotism with a purpose.
To him, patriotism was a purpose and no sacrifice was too
great as a means to its fulfillment.
Our forefathers were fortunate, indeed, to have a leader
of Washington’s statute in their time of trial. But we are
lucky, too, if only we remember to look back from time
to time and use the shining example to light the forward
path.

Odds Favor
Marriage 9-1
TOPEKA DAILY CAPITAL
Everything costs more these days — even marriage
licenses in Nevada. It’s probably because the state of
Nevada recognizes a good thing when it sees one. Even
with marriage licenses costing $5 each. Nevada ranked
fifth in the nation last year in the number of marriages
performed.
Now the fee has been increased to $6. Last year the
$1 increase would have brought $86,335 more into the
state treasury. The great number of marriages in Nevada,
a state with only 500,000 population, may be traceable to
freedom from blood tests and waiting periods.
It may surprise many who felt Nevada was famous only
for its gambling resorts and quickie divorces to learn only
9,615 of the six-week divorces were granted last year.
As the Nevada bookies might report, the odds favor
marriage almost 9-1.

MY
ANSWER®
When You Pray
What does a well-rounded pra
yer consist of, and for what, and
to whom should we pray? D.G.
The best example of a perfect
prayer Is the Lord’s Prayer.
When the disciples asked Christ
to teach them to pray, He said:
“After this manner pray ye,"
and our Lord gave them the mo
del prayer, or the Prayer Per
fact.
In this prayer He taught them
to whom to pray: “When you
pray, say: ‘Our Father which
art In heaven.’ ” Beautiful, isn’t
it that He cast God in the role
of Father: No one is more gen
erous, or more concerned, than
a loving Father. He reveals in
His children coming with their
needs and requests. And H1 s
storehouse is full, and never be
comes darlned of plenty for all
His children.
For what are we to pray? In
the Lord’s Prayer we are given
this answer also. He gave them,
I believe, in the order of their
importance. First, “Thy king
dom come." Christians groan
for the fulfillment of God’s king
dom upon earth. What a mess
the world is in! And it is all be
cause God’s kingdom has not
been received in the hearts of
men. Second, "Give us this
day our daily bread." This is
the same as saying, “Help us to
live, full, gracious, healthy liv
es.” For daily bread means more
than bread from the bakers. It
also means the bread that com
es down from heaven. For this
we should pray earnestly. Third,
“Forgive us our debts”, or “for
give us our tresspasses.” Os all
our needs, forgiveness is the
greatest, and God is well able
to grant it — and does everyday.
Last, "Lead us not into tempta
tion", or more accurately, “Help
us not to be led into tempta
tion.” The Bible is clear: "He
will not suffer you to be temp
ted above that ye are able to
bear.” These are the things for
which we should pray.
