SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPI)—Apollo 8 Commander

mism as his spacecraft began
the return Journey from lunar
orbit to earth:
‘‘l’ll clue you, if it keeps
going this way for two more
days, we have not only got the
right spacecraft, we’ve got the
best spacecraft.”
WASHINGTON — Vice Pres

menting on his unsuccessful bid
for the presidency:
"From the moment of my
nomination I knew we were the
underdogs in a tough, uphill
battle.”
BRADFORD, Pa —Harold E.
Smith of Warren, Mich., de
scribing the crash of an
Allegheny Airlines plane which
killed 20 of the 47 persons
aboard:
‘‘l looked out the window and
he (the pilot) had the landing
lights on. Just seconds after
that there was a big jolt and
everything was topsy-turvy.”
ATLANTA—Gov. Lester Mad
dox of Georgia, replying to the
question whether his Christmas
tradition of riding backwards on

“No, siree. They're predicting

year on the highways and not
one (because of) riding a
bicycle backwards.”

The Future
Os Baseball
So baseball is going to have a new boss again.
The National game is finding it difficult even after all
these years to find a satisfactory replacement for the late
Judge James K. Landis. He ruled professional baseball
with an iron hand and when he spoke players, umpires and
club owners jumped.
Now baseball is going to try again to put a commissioner
into office who will try to mold baseball into a role of new
efficiency.
He has his work cut out for him.
The players want more money for themselves, and they
want more put into the pension fund.
The clubs are bickering over schedules. Some want to
play more games each year. Others want less.
The fan is squawking, too. He feel* many of the major
league players are not playing the game fully. Some, he
thinks, are worrying too much about getting hurt rather
than by diving head first into second base on a close play.
Baseball, too, is beginning to face another fact of life.
Professional football is cutting in. Games are scheduled in
July and the pro football season gets under way just as the
World Series is being played. Baseball men are hoping to
pep up the game, to make it more appealing, and this is
for the good of all.
Meanwhile we hope some of the players who haven’t
been giving their all will wake up to the fact the fans who
pay the salaries dislike gold bricking on the diamond.
It is time for baseball to take inventory from top to
bottom.

A Campus Is Not
A Playground
MOULTRIE OBSERVER
High school students must be taught a basic fact of life
—a college education is serious business and there is no
longer any room for those who would make the university
campus a playground or focal point for demonstration.
The 1968 fall quarter enrollment in the 25 colleges and
universities of the University System of Georgia should be
evidence enough to convince any young person with rea
soning power that he should apply himself in high school
and that when he reaches the college level his chief aim
should be to get a higher education — and in the soonest
possible time.
There are currently 76,231 students enrolled in the 25
Georgia colleges and universities in the tax-supported
system, or 13 per cent over the 67,687 enrolled a year
earlier.
Since 1960, the number of students enrolled in the
University System for the fall quarter has increased 45,545
— or 148 per cent.
It takes no genius to deduce from such a tremendous in
crease in enrollment—with the impending increases which
will accompany a population explosion — that a college
education takes on great importance to everybody.
The colleges and universities must be discriminating in
who they accept, because facilities and faculties cannot be
increased fast enough to keep pace with the population
explosion. Therefore, it becomes imperative that all boys
and girls take a realistic look at their high school career*
and buckle down to the task of learning. Then the colleges
and universities must soon begin weeding out more rapidly
and sternly those who are frittering away their time or in
terfering with the process of learning on the campus. Those
who won’t work in the classroom or delay the learning of
others must be sidetracked so others may find places on the
main line.
Yes, education is no stamping ground for the experi
menters and the dissident. It’s serious business and is get
ting more serious by the week. Slowdowns and delays
threaten to wreck the whole system of preparing young
people for the greatest responsibility of their lives — mak
ing a living.

HIS WOO
“My son and I gave each
other the same thing—
MICKEY MOUSE WATCH
ESI”
MY A
ANSWER ®3
Drinking Son
Our son returned home from
a four year hjtch in the service
a rather heavy drinker —most
ly beer, but oh, so much. Thou
gh it grieves us, we- permit him
to drink at home, rather than
endangering his life and the liv
es of others by driving. Our he
arts arc breaking over this, but
what can we do? We've never
had drinking in our home be
fore. M.D.
I know some Christian parents
who had this same problem.
They were faced with two alter
natives: to forbid their son to
drink, or, since he was over-age
to prayerfully go along with
him. They did the latter, and
one day the son said, “Since
you didn’t raise cane with me,
It isn’t any fun to drink any
more — I’m giving it up.”
Sometimes our children test
us. In the case of your son, who
had four years of combat, he is
probably trying to escape from
the tensions and memories of
the war through drinking. If
you, his parents, display calm
and compassion, I believe he
will soon see that there is a bet
ter way to escape the realities
of living than in drink. He will
see you, his parents, meeting
their problems calmly through
prayer, faith, and love, and may
decide that Is the better course.
Monica, the mother of Augus
tine, who before his conversion
led such a wayward life, was
discouraged in praying for her
son, when a bishop said to her:
"The child of so many prayers
can never be lost”. Augustine
was not only converted, but be
came one of the stalwarts of
Christendom. . . and one of the
greatest theologians of history.

Let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily
beset us. (Hebrews 12:1)
PRAYER: Father, help me to
live each day so close to Thee
that, though tempted, I may not
fall. May I see that as long as I
am in the flesh I will face temp
tations — and will need Thy
strength to overcome them;
through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Thought For Today
A thought for the day:
Plutarch said: “The whole life
of man is but a point of time;
let us enjoy it, therefore, while
it lasts, and not spend it to no
purpose."
WORLD ALMANAC
FACTS
Through carelessness or
contempt man was respons
ible for causing about 91
per cent of the 113,762 fires
reported on federally pro
tected forest lands in 1967,
while lightning caused 10,-.
335 fires or about 9 per cent
of the total, The World
Almanac says. In the same
year, 125,025 fires burned
4,658,586 acres on all fed
eral, state and private
forest lands, an increase
over 1966 or 2,525 fires and
84,197 acres-burned.
