Don’t Forget:
Vote Tomorrow
It has been a long hot summer for the voters 'as well as
for the candidates. Still, it is important as ever that as
many eligible people as possible cast their ballots in the
Democratic Primary runoff tomorrow.
incumbent County Commissioner Jack Moss and Louis
Goldstein were high men but neither polled a majority of
the vote cast in the original primary election two weeks
ago. So the runoff is being held to determine the Demo
cratic nominee for a six-year term. Only a substantial vote
can insure that the will of the majority of the Democratic
voters will select their nominee. He then will face Republi
can nominee Sam Cooley in the General Election in
November.
The ballot tomorrow will be short and it won’t take but
a very few minutes to vote. So —
Vote as you please, but please vote.
Sprint Records
Predicted
If an Australian doctor is right, sports fans can look
for some track records to fall at the forthcoming Olympic
games in Mexico City.
According to Dr. John B. West, a specialist in blood
circulation in the lungs, the thinner atmosphere of the city,
which is situated on a plateau 7,500 feet high, may result
in record-breaking performances in sprints of 100 meters
or less.
The reason is decreased wind resistance because of the
lower air pressure, coupled with the fact that at these short
distances, a runner completes the race using basically the
same air in his lungs as when he begins.
In longer races, low oxygen will probably prevent any
new records because the athletes will have to breathe con
tinuously. However, competitors from high-altitude coun
tries, such as Ethiopia, will have a definite advantage in
these races.
Should records in short track events at Mexico City be
considered valid and not “artificial”? Yes, say the doctor.
High altitudes are found around the world and are a natu
ral part of the world environment.
And while athletes from high altitudes will have an ad
vantage in 1968, he thinks this is perfectly fair since past
Olympics have given an opposite advantage from low
altitude countries.
Reds Came Near
To Gaining Control
THOMASTON FREE PRESS
The fact continues to run through our minds that a hand
ful of Germans took over the rule of that country and put
Hitler in power.
We are continually reminded that even today, fifty years
after the Russian Revolution, only five percent of all
Russians belong to the ruling Communist Party.
And responsible people with the information to back
them up are saying publicly that much of that trouble at
the Democratic Convention in Chicago was brought about
by a handful of Communist agitators.
Communists, then, all but took over the ruling party in
this country at Chicago because, in the words of J. Leon
ard Reinsch of the National Committee, the convention did
come dangerously close to anarchy.
With people who sympathize with the demonstrators,
with politicians who are willing to run on platforms to the
liking of Hanoi and Peking and Moscow and with people
who will put other ideology above Americanism they can
make that Communist dream a reality before we know it.
It has never been in the blueprint of Communism to take
America by invasion or military might but rather by infil
tration and disorder within.
Every American has the responsibility to remain alert
and to do his own thinking rather than let emotional tv
announcers, edited tv film or popular half-truth move
ments lead him down the road of non-resistance to Com
munism or other pinkish movements.

Looking at the boys and girls gathered at the school
bus stops in the morning and noting that usually there’s
a dog or two with them reminds us that instead of the kids
going to the dogs, the dogs are going to the kids. And
that’s the way it should be.

“The thing that really wor

MY
ANSWER®
Child Beating
I have heard you advocate ’‘sp
anking” children because the
Bible teaches it, but are you
aware that there are thousands
of children beaten to death ev
every year in these United
States? Please sound an alarm
against parental cruelty. Thank
you.
P. S.
Thank you for bringing this to
my attention. When I speak of
parental discipline as taught in
the Bible, I in no way am put
ting my sanction on the terrible
practice of sadistic child beat
ing. I believe the appalling fig.
ures are 6,700 child deaths in the
U.S. as a result of cruel child
beating. In a recent study of this
problem it was discovered th a t
some of the causes were: imma
turity in parents; lack of love for
an unwanted child; and emotion
al instability of the offending pa
rents. In the study, mothers
were equally guilty with fath
ers. In almost every case some
trivial behavior of the child trig
gered the violence. But behind
the outbursts lay psychological
problems that haunted the par
ents, and the innocent child be
cause the “scape-goat” for the
parent's sins. This is unßiblical
and unChristian. The Bible’ ad
monishes parents to love their
children, and children to "obey
their parents in the Lord”. When
discipline is carried out without
love — in contempt and in an
ger, it becomes a despicable sin.
The Bible does not uphold nor
condone sadistic child beating.

I. . . will refine them as silver

gold is tried; they shall call on
my name, and I will hear them:
I will say, It is my people: and
they shall say, The Lord is my

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I
know that I must be tried in the
