WASHINGTON — The North
Vietnamese government, in a

nam declares its readiness to
appoint its representative to
contact the United States
representative with a view to
determining with the American
side the unconditional cessation
of the United States bombing
raids and all other acts of war
against the Democratic Repub
lic of Vietnam so that talks
may start.”
FUERTH, Germany — Pvt.
Roy R. Jones, the first U.S.
soldier to flee to Sweden,
explaining why he returned to
his unit in Germany:
“The Swedes have a natural
prejudice against black men
and know no th 1n g about
Negroes.”

U. S. Seizes
The Initiative
Through President Johnson, the United States has prov
ed to the world its desire for peace. The burden of proof
now has shifted to the communists. At last it is obvious to
people everywhere that America earnestly desires peace
on earth.
Should the North Vietnamese refuse to meet at the con
ference table, they will have indicted themselves at the
bar of world opinion. Should the Russians continue to re
fuse their good offices in the cause of peace after having
been called upon along with Britain to do so, they likewise
will tar themselves from the black bucket of war.
President Johnson cast himself in the role of sacrificial
lamb or scapegoat. As a consequence of his drastic action,
the United States is more united at home today than it
has been in years. As another direct result, America is en
joying its greatest support in other nations. Also, it appears
that the South Vietnamese finally realize — at least to
some extent — that they cannot lean entirely and for
ever upon the United States as a crutch, that they them
selves must carry their proportionate share of the burden
of saving their nation. Militarily, too, we are on the offen
sive.
In summary, President Johnson and the United States
have seized the offensive aggressively. We, at last, have
the initiative. The enemy instead of us is on the defensive
diplomatically, militarily and at the bar of world opinion.
Griffin’s Progress
And Problems
The first three letters in the words “progress” and
“problems” are the same.
• Griffin is making progress in eliminating slums, but
this poses problems to landlords and tenants. Owners must
decide whether to bring property up to requirements. If
they tear houses down instead, tenants must find places
to live. Some will move on to the already problem-plagued
City of Atlanta. Here in Griffin, new low rent units are
expected. If built by private enterprise, good. If not, fed
eral assistance should be sought.
• Griffin is making progress in recreation. The Univer
sity of Georgia’s Charles Clegg reported last week on his
study of the program here. The Recreation Department is
one of the finest anywhere. It is a shining star in Griffin’s
municipal crown. Still, there are problems here, too. As the
city grows, it will need more recreation facilities. Mr.
Clegg didn’t say anything about it, but the two closed
swimming pools which the city owns are problems. Their
vacant concrete daily attests the problems of human
behavior and inability to solve differences among people.
• Griffin is making progress in health. We have a good
hospital with a capacity of 158 beds, but the other day it
had 163 patients. So a 66-bed addition is planned. Also
in the field of health, plans were announced last week to
build a $1,100,000 nursing home. It will have 128-beds
and will hire 75 people.
• Griffin is making progress in street and highway
work. The city has begun its summer paving program
which calls for 12 projects. It is good that these streets will
be paved, but some of the existing paving is in bad condi
tion. Problems! Also, the four-lane highway from Barnes
ville to Highway 19 south of Griffin is expected to be
ready by July 1. That is progress. Problems? More traffic
may be expected over Highway 19 through Griffin with
consequent damage to paving along South Hill street and
increased danger to Hillandale Subdivision. The second
part of the four-lane will open later between Experiment
Station to the spot on Highway 19. This will eliminate the
problem to Hillandale, which is progress. However, de
creased traffic will pose new problems to businesses along
present Highway 41.
Yes, indeed, Griffin is experiencing progress — and we
are having problems. As the optimists are fond of saying,
“Every cloud has a silver lining.” To that little gem we
can only add that it is equally true that when it comes to
cities, every silver lining also has a cloud.

Competition
How can one live a Christian
We in a competitive society and
survive? I am thankful that we
have Christ and our sins are for
given. D.H.W.
Christianity has always thriv
ed in a “competitive society.”
When the first disciples were dis
persed at Pentecost throughout
the then-known world, society
was as competitive as it is
know. The Greeks, the Romans,
ana the Semitic races vied with
each other for superiority —
even as they do today. But the
disciples, filled with God’s Spirit,
made Christ relevant to the pro
blems of that day. While the
“way of the Cross” is diametri
cally opposed to the selfish, com
petitive spirit of the world, it has
been a satisfying answer for all
those who have tried it down
through history. With its ethic
of self-abnegation, rather than
the natural ethic of self-center
edness, it has helped people get
outside. themselves and develop
a love and concern for others.
This unselfish, Christian con
cern is what the world needs to
day. Instead of "every man for
himself’, Christ taught that we
are to “love our neighbors as
ourselves.’ While many think
that such a high goal is unat
tainable and impractical, thou
sands have found that with
Chist living in us, by faith, He
makes possible that which is na
turally impossible: sincere love
for God and one’s neighbor —re
gardless of race, color or
creed. To me, Christ within us
is the only feasible answer to
the world’s staggering problems.
It is not “Christianity’, or
"Christendom’, that we need
more of, but the person of Jesus
Christ. He, alone, is the Way,
the Truth, and the Life.

Are ye able to drink of the cup
that I shall drink of, and be bap
tized with the baptism that I am
baptized with? (Matthew 20:22)
PRAYER: O God, we pray for
those who are risking their lives
because of their faith in Christ
and dedication to Him. We pray
that our own lives may be insp
ired to greater faithfulness even
though we become so unpopular,
or disliked, or suffer loss for
Thy sake. Strengthen us to dr
ink the cup of faithfulness. In
Jesus' spirit. Amen.
