• The War;
•The Riots;
• The Dollar
Since the President stopped the bombing in Vietnam
and dropped his personal political bomb Sunday night* we
Americans have been doing some soul-searching.
Our biggest problems, it seems, aret
The war;
The riots;
The dollar.
It is now apparent that President Johnson is doing all
he can to end the war honorably. Americans of all persua
sions are with him on this. Our hearts cry for peace. Our
prayers petition the Almighty for it. Peace with honor and
a secure nation are our goals. It seems to the Griffin Daily
News that Nir. Johnson's drastic action provided the shock
which the nation needs.
As for the riots, they symbolize all the discord, distress,
strife, dissension, hatred and gnawing frustration which
divide us Americans at home. It appears to us that this dis
sension is an even greater threat to America than the war
abroad. Americans of good will must renew determination
to exercise restraint, to control hatreds, to ease strife and
to end dissension. Today, all of us accept as commonplace
things which less than five years ago we would have re
garded as shattering. By “all of us” we mean White Ameri
cans and we mean Negro Americans. The nation is great
enough and its bounty is sufficient for all of us. There is
no need for race to fight race. Martin Luther King should
cancel his planned march on Washington.
Concerning the dollar: It is in the greatest danger most
of us living today have experienced. We cannot spend
ourselves poor at home and abroad without facing the day
of reckoning. We can keep the dollar away from the poor
house, though, with economic sanity. Part of the answer
is in restricted governmental spending on all levels.
Another part is in a tax increase on the federal level to
help pay for what we already have spent and given away.
The dollar is strong, but no unit of currency is strong
enough to provide dancing for the world without sooner
or later paying the piper who plays the tune.

-Burn It-
THE GORDON REVEILLE
GORDON MILITARY COLLEGE, BARNESVILLE
Today the United States is engaged in a struggle that is
unique in its history. This struggle is not in Vietnam or
Germany or in space, it is at home. Across this great land,
newspapers blaze forth headlines of students burning draft
cards to protest America's involvement in Vietnam and
the Far East. This form of protest is, besides being illegal,
one of the most ungrateful ways that has ever been shown
to thank a nation that is as generous and bountiful as ours
is.
How much disloyalty can one show in the act of burning
a simple piece of paper? Think back you who would set
the torch to such a fragile sheet. Your forefathers fought
for every right and pleasure which you enjoy today. One
of your friend’s dad died at Pearl Harbor so that you could
enjoy that beer bought with a fake I. D. And five men
whose tank was hit in North Africa died so that you might
drag your GTO through Barnesville. And yet you would
scorch the earth with that slim white card. They did not die
so that you could say “peace” and “love” and blow this
great nation to Hades.
You who preach peace and love hear me, for I too
cherish peace and love. But I do not conceive the bliss that
1 you preach. Peace and love cannot exist undefended so
long as one vain or jealous man lives. But there is not just
one such man; there are hundreds of thousands of them,
' and you cannot deny them the right to live. All you can
do is to stand guard over that which is good and worth
[ while, and protect it lest you lose it forever.
And so now when you pull that little white card out and
i hold that lighter close, do not hesitate . . . ignite it, and
• watch it bum to ashes; then when you find the boots
’ marching through the streets end that old rag tom down
from the courthouse square, run out and lie down in the
street with your sign.

BERRY’S WORLD
“When will I be old enough

MY
ANSWERfU
lllli
Sex Freedom
My boy friend and I believe
that if any human need can be
served by disobedience, the need
must come first. I believe you
understand what I mean. I re
fer to sexual freedom. Did not
God ordain this? D.L.
Suppose I were to apply your
reasoning to my life. Due to my
work I am separated from my
wife for months at a time. I miss
her physically and Spiritually.
According to your theory it wou
ld be all right for me to break
the marriage vow and be untrue
to my wife, since as you say,
"the need must come first.” I'm
sure you would be the first to
condemn me as a charlatan and
a phoney.
I receive letters every W’eek
from young people who are ex
perimenting with "situational
ethics”, and most of them are
and experiencing great remorse.
One, 1 know, has been institu
tionalized. I still go along with
the Bible when it says, "The wa
ges of sin Is death.” Modern
man is breaking himself upon
God's commandments—not just
breaking the commandments.
His laws were given, not arbit
rarily, but in love and concern
for us. There is a special bless
ing promised to those who ob
serve His laws, and I have ne
ver been sorry that I took His
commandments seriously at an
early age. I escaped the pitfalls
that so many young people have
fallen into. God promised as
much. He said: "Wherewithal
shall a young man cleanse his
way? By taking heed unto my
word.”
