her- amazement at the crowd of
10,000 persons in the Wail Street
district who jammed the area

“It’s all crazy. These people
have all the responsibility of

they act like they're out of their
minds.”
WASHINGTON—Sen. Sam J.
Ervin Jr., D-N.C., advancing his
reasons for opposing tire confir
mation of Abe Fortas as chief
justice of the United States:
“The independence of the
court from presidential control
and influence, and the vitality
of the Senate’s .responsibility to
advise and consent are involved
in this dispute.”

We Can Do
Without This
Last week the North Georgia Fair at Marietta featured
a Spalding County product. It was a 250-gallon liquor still
which had been confiscated here.
It was one of two. The other was taken in Cobb County
of which Marietta is the county seat. Both were identified
as having come from their respective locations.
The Griffin Daily News does not deny that an occasional
liuqor still is found in Spalding. So are other undesirable
things from time to time.
Naturally we dislike having them placed unnecessarily
on public display and identified as having come from
Spalding. It would have been desirable to have shown some
Dundee towels, some Thomaston Mills sheets, some
Pomona Products pimiento peppers, some Imperial homes,
some Holan truck bodies, some Highland Mills cloth, some
Spalding Mills socks, some Jaco t-shirts, a copy of the
Griffin Daily News, or some other product made in Spald
ing and of which we are proud.
While we have no particular objection to the Georgia
Revenue Department showing liquor stills at county fairs,
we do object to identifying one as having come from
Spalding. We can do very well without that kind of publi
city, thank you.
Awesome Price
Os Gun Accidents
Americans pay a price for the exercise of their constitu
tional right to bear arms. In 1966, an estimated 2,600 of
them paid the ultimate price—their lives.
That many either shot themselves accidentally or were
accidentally shot by others. Nearly 60 per cent, or 1,500,
of these mishaps occured in or about the home.
Metropolitan Life has published some statistics based on
a study of the death claims of 143 of its policyholders who
died in home firearms accidents in 1964-66. The weapon
most often involved was a shotgun or rifle.
Every age group contributed to the toll. An appalling
11 per cent of those fatally injured were children under
age 10. Nearly two-fifths of the victims were between 10
and 24, most of them in their teens. Most frequently, the
gun was accidentally fired by the victim himself or by
another youngster, often a brother.
At least 29 of the 143 accidents occurred during the
servicing or repairing of the firearms. Several were caused
by that most dangerous weapon of all, the “unloaded”
gun.
Twenty-six lives were lost while playing with guns, most
of these from playfully pointing it at the victim. At least
four deaths were caused by “Russian roulette.” Another 26
persons were killed either while demonstrating the weapon,
target oracticing or shooting at birds and small animals.
While 83 victims died of self-inflicted wounds, another
24 were shot by family members. Five accidents resulted
from scuffling for possession of a gun, four of these cases
involving husbands and wives.
These particular statistics are not an argument for gun
control legislation, unless someone comes up with away
of insuring that all licensed gun owners would display
common sense at all times.
For registered guns would kill just as surely as unregist
ered ones, so long as some people treat them as toys or let
them fall into the hands of children or fail to use ordinary
prudence in handling these very lethal instruments.

Wives Have
A Big Say-So
TOPEKA DAILY CAPITAL
The governor of Utah has a point. It takes something
extra to attract industry. Gov. Calvin Rampton went to
Seattle with the Utah Symphony which he said is being
used “for propaganda purposes.” When an industry esta
blishes a plant or expands, its decision on location is great
ly influenced by whether top management is willing to
move. That willingness is often determined by whether
top management’s wives and families like the cultural cli
mate at a prospective site.
How many symphony music lovers there are among top
management’s families hasn’t been surveyed and the suc
cess of the Utah plan hasn’t been disclosed. But the gover
nor was right. A city or state must be pleasing to the
families as well as to the industrialists in order to get new
business — and those who don’t realize this aren’t building
many new plants.

Lost Faith
For years we have been try
ing to be Christians. A year ago
our 19 year-old son was draft
ed and sent out to Vietnam. Just
a month ago today they sent his
body back, a victim of that ter
rible slaughter out there. Our
hearts are broken. How could
God do this to us? I know peo
ple who have never tried to ser
ve God whose sons were spared
We have just about loss all faith
in God and the church. Are we '
wrong? C.T. 1
In the same mail with your let
ter came another one which I
want to quote from. Here it is:
“We lost our son in Vietnam
Thanksgiving day. Our son’s
death has drawn us nearer the
Lord than ever before. Like oth
er people, we have grown cold
and indifferent, with interest
mainly in material things. Since
our son’s death, my husband is
so helpful and considerate to
people. He prays and reads the
Bible, and our home is like it
should have been all the time be
fore. We are sure our son is with
the Lord, and we want to so live,
as to join him in that home be
yond the skies. We now know
what Romans 8:28 means: ‘All
things work together for good to
them that love the Lord'.”
We can’t help what happens to
us, but we do have control over
what happens within us. This
couple used tragedy to improve
their relationship to God. I pray
that you too may not blame God
for your tragedy, but use it as a
stepping stone to greater useful
ness and happiness In Him.

•‘Now come along to some qu
iet place by yourselves, and rest!
for a little while,” said Jesus. I
(Mark 6:31, Phillips)
PRAYER: Our Father, our liv
es are full of restlessness, of
hustling and bustling. Teach us
the value of rest for the refre
shment of ourselves so that with
more strength and gladness we
may continue in our daily labors.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Thought For Today
A thought for the day—Welsh
poet Dylan Thomas once said:
“Do not go gentle into that
good night. Old age should burn
and rave at close of day—rage,
rage against the dying of the
light.”

The expression of humili- I
ation to “eat humble pie”
dates from 11th-century
England, when all ate at
one table seated according ,
to rank, The World Almanac I
says. When deer was
served, the lord ate veni
son, but the humbler folk
at the foot of the table got
“umble pie” or the en- '
trails, including the umbili
cal cord from which
“umble” comes.
