WASHINGTON — Sen. Philip
A. Hart, D-Mich., charging that
opponents of the confirmation of
Abe Fortas as chief Justice of
the United States are using new
left tactics in their threatened
lifi buster:
“It strikes me as ironical that
Senate conservatives who might
Join in a filibuster would be in a
practical sense using the same
political tactics as for example
the hippies and the yippies they
so often criticize.”
LONDON -Egyptian Foreign
Minister Mahmoud Riad, on the
tension in the Middle East:
“A new outbreak can be
expected in the Middle East at
any time. We are doing our best
to defend our country, but the
tension is there and there is
always the likelihood of war
until they (the Israelis) move
from our territories.!
Almanac
For

By United Press International
Today is Thursday, Sept. 26,
the 270th da yof 1968 with 96 to
follow.
The moon is between its new
phase and first quarter.
The morning star is Mars.
The evening stars are Saturn

On this day in history:
In 1777, British troops occu
pied Philadelphia during the
American Revolutionary War.
In 1950, U.N. troops took
Seoul, the capital of South
Korea, from the communists.
In 1955, the New York Stock

disaster as a result of news of
President Eisenhower's heart
attack.
Thought For Today
A thought for the day—
American clergyman Reinhold
Niebuhr, once said: “man’s
capacity for Justice makes
democracy possible, but man's
inclination to injustice makes
democracy necessary."

Opportunity
For Everyone
Never in history has so much been offered to so many
in the field of education in Griffin.
The regular Griffin - Spalding School system runs from
the first through the twelfth grades free of charge — free
tuition, free textbooks, free transportation. It is a tremen
dous thing with tremendous opportunities for every boy
and girl in the county. In addition to it there are:
• Griffin Tech, this area’s vocational - technical school
which also is absolutely free to all who wish to pursue one
or more of its courses, most all of which are absolutely top
notch in their field.
• Free instruction for adults who have not completed
grade or high school but who wish to gain sufficient know
ledge to satisfactorily complete the equivalency test and
get a certificate which amounts to the same thing as a high
school diploma. Also they are offered grade school in
struction.
• Free instruction via television, either individually or
in a group, to accomplish the same thing as the classroom
instruction mentioned above.
• Finally, the University of Georgia offers a variety of
full-credit college courses right here in Griffin. Tuition is
charged for them, but it is nominal.
Yes indeed, there are plenty of educational opportun
ities in Griffin for those with enough “get up and go” to
take advantage of them.
We Wish
Them Success
When a 19-year-old has smoker’s cough, when up
wards of a million of today’s school-age children can be
expected to die someday of lung cancer, when the average
young heavy smoker is potentially cutting eight years off
his life, it is time for the schools to face up to their own
responsibilities toward young smokers.
So says the American Association for Health, Physical
Education, and Recreation (AAHPER).
When educators rub the smoke out of their own eyes,
says AAHPER, they will find that “all too often” smok
ing begins in elementary grades. About 10 to 15 per cent
of all 13-year-olds smoke, and as the children graduate so
does the smoking percentage. At age 18, some 50 per cent
smoke regularly.
So a program, under the impressive title of Leadership
Development Project on Smoking and Health, has been
set up to see about hanging out “no smoking” signs at
schools, increasing attention to sports activities, and initiat
ing education in the hazards of smoking.
In short, educators are out to smoke out teen-age smok
ing habits. We wish them success.

Buckle Up
For Safety
GEORGIA’S HEALTH
Twenty-four persons died from automobile accidents in
Georgia over the long July 4th weekend. Fifty percent of
the victims were age 30 or under. Not a single victim was
wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, according to
Georgia Department of Public Safety accident records.
How many of these lives could have been saved if the
victims had been wearing seat belts is not known. “There
is fairly conclusive evidence that two of the 24 would not
have been killed if their seat belts had been buckled,” ac
cording to Roger Justice of the State Health Department’s
Accident Prevention Section. “Based on previous fatal ac
cident studies, a probable 40 percent, or nine persons,
would have sustained less serious injuries if they had worn
seat belts.”
You can save lives on the highways! Buckle your seat
belt, and encourage your passengers to do so, too.

“Don’t you understand? I
don’t WANT to get involv
ed again—I GOT involved
with McCarthy 1”
MY
ANSWERffI
Two Jobs
I have a 16-year-old son who
is holding down two jobs. He is
so tired on Sunday that he wants
to sleep in, but I insist that he
attend church with us. He slreps
through the service, but anyway
he is there. It would be easier
for all of us if I let him sleep in.
The question I want to ask is?
am I doing wrong by insisting
he go to the house of God on
Sundays? He goes to school
without argument. T.Y.
Your son has a problem, but it
is not his being made to go to
church. Your insistence that he
go to church shows your son you
consider it of enough importance
to forego his rest. You say that
he goes to school without argu
ment. He does this, not because
he is rested on school days, (be
cause he must be just as weary
on school days as on Sunday)
but because the importance of
school is assumed, and anyway
there are laws which require
children to go to school.
The wrong being done your
young son is not his being ‘•ma
de’’ to go to church, but in his
being allowed to hold down two
jobs, in addition to carrying a
full load of school work. This is
Just a little too much for a yo
ung mind and body. Ease up on
the work load, and see If his at
titude is not changed. In my op
inion, it is a physical rather than
a spiritual problem. Many par
ents today, with the emphasis
on material gain, would let their
son "sleep Jn” just to have a lit
tle more money in the family till.
You are to be congratulated for
being so concerned that you
son go to the house of God.

WORLD ALMANAC
FACTS
Because New Yorkers
were such wiseacres, New
York City was called Goth
am by Washington Irving
in “Salmagundi Papers,"
1807, The World Almanac
says. Gotham is an English
town whose people were
once famous for feigning
foolishness. When King
John wanted to build a pal
ace there the Gothamites,
fearing the costs of a royal
court, acted so stupidly
that the king willingly left.
Thereafter it was said:
More fools pass through
Gotham than live there.
