Important Draft
For The Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons close the 1968 football season Sun
day and win, lose or draw they cannot beat the record they
set in 1966. They can only equal it. They must win to do
that.
The Falcons have made some progress under Coach
Norm Van Brocklin. Their only two wins came after he re
placed Norb Hecker.
More important than the game with the San Francisco
49ers is the pro draft that comes up soon.
The Falcons need help in practically every phase of the
game.
Coach Van Brocklin and the Falcons’ high brass are
faced with a major decision.
There can’t be an easy answer to the problem of which
position to bolster through draft selections.
The Falcons need running backs. They, need offensive
linemen and they desperately need defensive backs.
Many pro experts consider the pro draft a big guessing
game after the first and second rounds.
The Falcons’ number one and two picks must have the
ability to start next season.
Since there was an abundance of good running backs
during the 1968 college season, the Falcons should be able
to come up with at least one.
Os course, who Atlanta picks depends largely on who
the teams in front of them choose.
If the good running backs are gone, Atlanta may go for
an offensive lineman or a defensive back.
We can’t help the Falcons with their draft, but we are
keeping our fingers crossed, hoping they don’t blow it like
they did a couple of years ago.

Yule Card Trend
Shows Peace Hope
Judged by the trend in Christmas cards this season, the
predominant mood of the average American in these tur
bulent times is for peace, and for a return to some of the
values of yesteryear. A trade survey conducted by the
American Artists Group, also indicates continued. strong
demand for greetings of a religious nature. Depictions of
the Madonna and Child still rank as the most sought after.
Scenes of churches, both city and country, are popular.
The hundreds of Mrtiats and illustrators who create the
Group’s annual collections have taken note of the current
nostalgia and wish for peace.
Typical are such scenes as a little girl in tum-of-the-cen
tury dress arranging her own manger scene in a cupboard
that today would command a handsome price as an anti
que.
The theme of peace among nations is reflected in the
picture of a Christmas tree formed by persons garbed in
the native dress of many countries. Another shows a globe
sprouting greens in a plea for amity.
This is America’s hope. We pray that it may become a
reality.
Papa’s Bowl
Is Filled
MOULTRIE OBSERVER
Mama won’t cheer, but Papa’s got a bowl-full on his
New Year agenda.
Yes, we are referring to the football lineup of college
post-season affairs to sweep out the old year and usher in
the New Babe of 1969.
Anyway you slice the pie, it’s a fine grid menu to please
the most discriminating fan—assuming he isn’t disgruntled
because his thrice-beaten alma mater wasn’t chosen. But
where would you find a finer bunch of college teams from
coast to coast — or better matched — than in 1968?
Southern California, Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee,
Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Florida State, Michigan, Texas,
Arkansas, Houston, Mississippi, all support powerful grid
outfits. Win, lose or draw they don’t give quarter to an op
ponent and they ask none in return.
This is one year in which all of the outstanding college
teams do not make it to bowls. There are just too many
around.
So, Mama, just be patient, and let Papa get a tummy
full of football during the New Year period. He’ll make a
better hubby the rest of 1969.

BERRY’S WORLD
MY A
ANSWER S
Not All Rebels
I am a student in one of the
universities where some of the
well publicized riots have been
going on. What gets me is: most
of the kids on our campus don't
follow the hippy and rebel line,
and yet these are the ones who
get all the publicity. Why is
this? J.W.
If a dog bites a man, that isn’t
news. But, if a man bites a dog—
that’s news. But, unfortunately,
often these much publicized re
bels are made heroes by the
media, and thus become the idol
of many of our young people.
They don’t realize that some of
them are anarchists, who have
vowed to overthrow the govern
ment and burn down the White
House.
Recently 2,975 college students
were polled about their belief
in God, and only 1 percent re
ported that they were atheists.
This, to me, was exciting news,
but it was only a small news
item. Why? Simply because it
is assumed that most people be
lieve in God, and because it is a
natural assumption, it isn’t con
sidered news.
It is a known fact that 90 per
cent or more of our youth never
have a brush with the law. But,
I doubt if many journalists will
write feature articles on this
fact. Why? Because It is assum
ed that most young people are
pretty fine, and therefore it isn’t
considered news. Actually, when
a reporter writes about the ac
tivities of the deviates, and the
rebels, he is actually reminding
us that they are a minority, and
that’s good news.
VOZ TODAY HOM W'JI

What we preach is not oursel
ves, but Jesus Christ as Lord,
with ourselves as your servants
for Jesus’ sake. (II Corinthians
4:5, RSV)
PRAYER: O God, Thou art
author of the world’s joy and
bearer of the world’s pain. Give
us the power to reveal Jesus
Christ to a world still looking for
an answer to its problem of suf
fering. Through His love and for
His sake. Amen.
Thought For Today
A thought for the day: The
late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt said, “More than an
end to war, we want an end to
the beginnings of all war.”

These main items were
