our European partners less and
listening to them more."

Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today is Tuesday, Feb. 25,
the 56th day of 1969 with 309 to
follow.
The moon is between its first
quarter and new phase.
The morning stars are
Mercury, Mars and Jupiter.
The evening stars are Venus
and Saturn.
On this day in history:
In 1804 a caucus of Republi
cans unanimously nominated
Thomas Jefferson for President
with George Clinton of New
York as his running mate.
In 1901 J.P. Morgan founded
the United States Steel Corp, in
New Jersey, the first billion
dollar enterprise.
In 1919 Oregon became the
first state to tax gasoline. The
tax was one per cent.
In 1967 American warships
began shelling North Vietnam.
Thought For Today
A thought for the day: British
clergyman Thomas Fuller said,
"He knows little who will tell
his wife all he knows."
EDITORIALS
Border Doesn’t
Limit Dope Threat
The Griffin Daily News today printed the first in a series
of four articles by United Press International dealing with
the marijuana problem in this country.
The facts brought out in the series are shocking.
Youngsters on the junior high and senior high levels are
the main victims of the dope traffic.
The series points out that most of the marijuana in this
country is smuggled in from Mexico. California and other
states on the border are especially involved.
But in this day of modern transportation systems, the
problem is not limited to the border states.
Just the other day some people carrying a large quantity
of marijuana were arrested at the Atlanta airport. This is
the transportation hub of the southeast.
Through it could flow heavy dope traffic. Griffin is just
30 minutes from Atlanta.
We recommend that parents as well as youngsters read
the series.
Why Not Make
Sky The Ceiling
President Nixon has requested that congress raise the
national debt ceiling to $382 billion.
Why stop there? Why not the sky?
Or will that not be high enough?
The whole ceiling idea has become a joke anyway.
Greetings!
PALMER, ALAS., FRONTIERSMEN
Take twelve fine, full-grown months; see that these are
thoroughly free from all old memories of bitterness, rancor,
hate and jealousy. Cleanse them completely from every
clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness.
Cut these months into 30 or 31 equal parts. Do not at
tempt to make up the whole batch at one time, but prepare
one day at a time, as follow*:
Into each day put equal parts of faith, patience, courage,
work, hope, fidelity, liberality, kindness, rest, prayer,
meditation. Add about a teaspoon of good spirits, a dash
of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping
cupful of good humor.
Pour in love and mix a vim. Serve with quietness, un
selfishness and cheerfulness.
Parting thought . . . Today’s mighty oak is merely yes
terday’s little nut that managed to hold its ground.
Bye now ... Be happy.
Don’t Give Up
Pueblo Inquiry
LEXINGTON (Ky.) HERALD
Next to the seizure itself, most of the emotional fire in
the Pueblo incident has been focused on the conduct of its
commander and crew.
Why did secret documents and sophisticated electronic
equipment fall into enemy hands? Why was the ship not
scuttled? Why didn’t the Pueblo fight back? Why did
Commander Lloyd M. Bucher and his crew members sign
confessions that the Pueblo was within North Korean terri
torial waters at the time of its capture?
The whole story is emerging now before a Navy court
of inquiry. But the investigation is bringing a whole lot of
fire from outraged citizens who feel that Cmdr. Bucher
and his crew are being treated wrongly by the Navy. We
don’t think so.
Perhaps there are no clear-cut answers to these quest
ions. But they ought to be asked, before the inquiry is clos
ed or another spy ship sent out. And because it is perfectly
clear that the Pueblo mission was a calculated risk in which
a large number of Naval officers and civilian policy-makers
shared, all the risk-takers ought to be heard.
For with every new scrap of evidence, it becomes more
and more apparent that the Pueblo was not prepared for
its mission or the risks it might reasonably be expected to
encounter.
In short, the same righ standards imposed upon Cmdr.
Bucher by the Navy at the time of his capture should be
imposed in turn upon the Navy and the United States
Government that put him off a hostile coast, in a mockery
of a warship, with no help on call.
Chances are slim that the matter will end with the court
of inquiry for there are review procedures that will ulti
mately take the verdict out of the hands of the admirals.
And that, too, is as it should be.

ANSWER®
Truth Vs. Lie
How can I be * Christian and
follow the teachings of Jesus
when people tell lies about me?
W.Y.
People lie about me, too! But
I never let it bother me. Jesus
said all lies come from the de
vil who is the father of lies,
John 8:44.
However, could it be that your
friends do not share your high
opinion of yourself? It is easy for
a person to be deluded into
thinking he is better than he re
ally is. Robert Burns said, "O
that some power the gift would
give us, to see ourselves as oth
ers see us.”
Someone has said: "It’s not
the scandalous lie that hurts a
man, but the scandalous truth.”
But if these lies are untrue,
then you should not be too dis
turbed. Jesus said, "Blessed are
ye when men revile you, and
persecute you for righteousness
sake.” Many people look upon
the true Christian analytically.
They would like to debunk them,
and thus drag them down to
their own level. This would
make Christianity a myth, and
relieve them of the obligation to
follow Christ. The Christian’s
duty is to so live that men are
convinced of our genuineness
and sincerity. May God give you
the power to do this.

as we follow the Master. We
make our prayer in the name of
Christ our Lord. Amen.
