E good VENIN Vjr By Quimby Melton » Once again the war in Viet nam has been brought close to home. Relatives here have re ceived word that Pfc. Monte , C. Kinasz has been killed in action. This 21-year-old Grif finite, graduated from Griffin High and then attended college in Americus. He entered the Army last May, was sent to Vietnam last October, and was killed on March 25, while fight ing with a tank division. His • career as a soldier was short lived—just ten months. In those ten short months, he attained full manhood, accepted the re- . sponsibilities of an American who was willing to lay down his life, if needed, to preserve the things most Americans hold dear and sacred. Good Evening extends to his relatives the sympathy of the community; and says to them, • no doubt realizing that he gave his life, and did not lose his life, will find comfort and will be proud of his devotion to the . land we love. Sunday is the fifth Sunday In , Lent—called “Passion Sun day”. Between now and Easter, two weeks away, one will read and hear much about the last days of The Master on earth, of • His being the supreme sacrifice for sinful man, and of His Glor ious Resurrection. No doubt there will be many editorials • and sermons stressing Jesus’ “seven words from the cross” Including His Prayer, “Father, forgive them for they know not » what they do.” But the Resurrection, the greatest event in history, did not end the words of Jesus. Ap *■ pearing to His disciples, to the women who loved Him, He told them among other things: “Fear Not.” Certainly a war torn, sin-aursed world needs that message today. He told the 11 "Peace be unto , you." And there can be peace in one’s heart, even in time of war and rioting, if one accepts the Holy Spirit of Jesus and His Father as their Comforter. • Why should we not be afraid? Why should we believe In the peace that “passeth under standing”? « Because Jesus Christ lives, today as always—lives in the hearts of all who believe in Him and accept His blessings. , And let’s not forget the final instructions He gave His dis ciples, instructions that are as applicable to us today as to those who accepted Him 20 • centuries ago—“Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” Those instructions are not to the ministers and the mission- • aries alone, but to every one who professes Him as Savior and Lord. ,— + — Friday’s paper announced construction soon would begin on a 128-bed Nursing Home to ■ be built on Everee and Airport Road. This nursing home will meet all Medicare and Medic aid provisions and will be of great service to this entire part • of our state. The Griffin Medi-Center will be staffed with trained person nel, giving employment to some • 75 persons. One thing that Good Evening liked about the announcement that we are to have such an t, important facility here is that Griffin was chosen for its loca tion by people who live in and around Griffin. The head of , Griffin Medi-Center is a long time resident of nearby Hamp ton. Associated with him will be others from Hampton and Griffin. These people know the ”* many advantages of this part of Georgia; they also know our limitations. And weighing them all, Griffin was chosen. ' This project is no quickly planned one. For more than two years the men who first got the idea have been working , with the Griffin Area Chamber of Commerce, city and county officials and others in the plan ning. B This welcomed addition is another demonstration that county lines, such as are on the maps of Spalding and Hen ry Counties are nothing more ’ than lines drawn by the map makers. There are no lines be tween the good people of this community and the good peo r pie of neighboring communi ties, such as Hampton. What is good for one is good for all. r x /py Jr y-jjEsai?

Security Council called an urgent meeting today to consider the latest outbreak of fighting between Jordan and Israel along a 70-mlle stretch of their Jordan River Valley ceasefire line. The council was to meet at 10:30 a.m. EST. Jordan and Israel both requested Friday night that the council convene on the new warfare between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. Israeli jets blasted Jordanian positions in what Israel said was retaliation for Jordanian shelling.

The council last Sunday unanimously approved a resolu tion condemning Israel for a March 21 punitive attack on terrorist bases in Jordan and deploring the Arab guerrilla attacks on Israel. Violent Outbreak The new violence flared along the Jordan River, the ceasefire line established after the June 5-10 Mideast War. It was the worst since the March 21 outbreak of fighting. An Israeli spokesman said the Jordanian shelling began shortly after four Israeli farmers were killed and an American worker, Frederick Rosenfeld, 27, of Washington, D.C., injured when their tractor struck a mine near the Jordanian border. A Jordanian military commu nique from Amman said Jordan Anti - Commie Revolts Break Out In Vietnam Man Charged ( With Murder In Shooting A warrant charging Grady \ Pyron of 130 North Second street with murder in the death of his wife, Dorothy Pyron of • 1461 Boyd row, was taken Fri day by her father, Talmus Le mon of 1461 Boyd row. Police said Friday that Py- i ron told them he killed his wife with two bullet wounds in the chest and then shot himself in the chest. He was treated at the Griffin- Spalding . County Hospital and transferred to an Atlanta hos pital. She was dead on arrival at the hospital. Officers called the double shooting an apparent murder attempted suicide. 5-STAR WEEKEND GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS Daily Since 1872 Griffin, Ga., 30223, Sat. and Sun., March 30*31, 1968 Vol. 96 No. 77 shot down seven Israeli Jets during attacks on 13 Jordanian villages.

The Israeli communique said Jordanian guns shelled six civilian settlements in Israel held territory 20 miles south of the Sea of Galilee. In Washington, U.S. officials said the United States was -watching the border conflicts between Israel and Jordan “with concern.” The resolution the Security Council approved last Sunday carried a warning that further violations could bring the Imposition of sanctions—politi cal, economic or even military measures to force compliance— on Israel which had previously been condemned for similar actions. In Brussels, Foreign Minister Abba Eban of Israel said his country’s policy toward the Arabs was reciprocity—in peace or in violence. In Amman, King Hussein again appealed to King Faisal of Saudi Arabia to agree to an emergency Arab summit to consider unifying against Israel. Saudi Arabia so far has been reluctant to attend such a conference.

Sweden’s economics minister, Krister Wickman, chairman of the conference, told newsmen, “France stands isolated on several points. However, I see no danger of the French delegation walking out before the conference Is over.” Crucial Issues The crucial Issues were these: —France Instates the United States and Britain retire their balance of payments deficits before the special drawing rights plan goes Into effect. The United States, Britain and most other delegations said the plan should be launched as soon as "substantial progress” has been made In correcting the deficits. —France wants a clause included in the agreement that would enable her to "opt out” of the plan Is she desires. But Paris still wants a vote in running the plan. The United States takes the line that anyone wanting a voice in a corporation must get In on the ground floor and buy stock. —France opposes a provision in the plan that would make possible “voluntary transfers” of special drawing rights—that Is to say, that blocks of the “paper gold” that a country does not need Itself could be transferred to other members of the plan.
