QUOTES
By United Press international
NASSAU BAY, Tex—The
sign at a resort motel In this
Houston suburb:
“Hail Columbia and Eagle
Too, Hi Ya Moon See Ya Soon.”
TEGUCIGALPA—An Organi
zation of American States
mediator, commenting on the
tense Honduras-El Salvador
border:
“We don’t have any idea of
how things are going along the
border anymore. Sometimes I
think that with the bad
communications, the two
governments themselves have
no Idea of what their armies
are up to out there.”
NEW ORLEANS—U.S. Dis
trict Court Judge Harold E.
Cox upholding the conviction of
seven Ku Klux Klan members
for the 1964 plot to murder
three civil rights workers in
Mississippi:
“We find ample proof of
conspiracy and each appellant’s
complicity in a calculated, cold
blooded and merrlless plot to
murder.”
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa—Mrs. Joanna Du Ples
sis, who at 58 became the
oldest person on record to bear
a child after being treated for
eight months for stomach
pains.
"I had pains again yesterday
after my husband left for work.
Eventually I decided I must be
having a baby and called the
doctor."
WASHINGTON — Vice Pres
ident Spiro T. Agnew discussing
the country’s future space
goals:
“We should, in my judge
ment, put a man on Mars by
the end of this century.”
Almanac
For
Today
Today is Monday, July 21, the
202nd day of 1969 with 163 to
follow.
The moon Is approaching Its
first quarter.
The morning stars are
Mercury, Venus and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mars
and Jupiter.
On this day In history:
In 1861 the first major
engagement of the Civil War
took place at Bull Run Creek in
Virginia.
In 1873 the world's first
recorded train robbery oc
curred when Jesse James held
up the Rock Island Express at
Adair, lowa, and made off with
$3,000.
In 1930 the Veterans Adminis
tration was formed.
In 1954 armistice agreements
ended the seven and one-half
year Indo-China war.
A thought for the day: Ernest
Hemingway said, “So far,
about morals, I know only that
what is moral is what you feel
good about and what is
immoral is what you feel bad
after.”

Momentous for all
the earth, universe
Few presidential acts are not subject to
exception for some reason or from some
quarter, but President Nixon's designation
of today as a national day of participa
tion in the moon landing is certainly one
such.
The President avoided declaring the
event a holiday, and wisely so. It is much
more than that, as it is much more than
national. In all mankind's long history
there has never been another quite like
this event, and there may well never be a
gain. None of the explorations and achieve
ments that have preceded it on this earth
can quite compare with man's first step
into the infinite universe beyound.
There are other landings to come, on the
moon, the planets and conceivably beyond
But none so momentous as this first.
Space—Man's Junkyard
Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael
Collins may be short on human company during their
lunar voyage, but there is no shortage of inanimate re
minders of earth along their course.
In the brief time since the first Sputnik, less than 12
years ago, man has distributed an incredible number of
his souvenirs in cislunar space—the 240,000-some miles
separating earth and moon—and on the surface of the
moon itself.
As of June 30, there were 1,730 manmade objects—
functioning and spent satellites, rocket bodies and other
debris— in space, according to the U.S. Air Force Aero
space Defense Command which catalogues all launchings.
To which have now been added the castoffs of Apollo 11
and Luna 15.
Not only the United States and the Soviet Union, but
France, Britain, Canada and Italy—using American rock
ets to launch their satellites—have contributed to the total.
The U.S. count leads all others combined by almost three
to one.
Strewn across the moon’s surface are the remains, intact
or shattered, of 22 American and Soviet unmanned lunar
probes.
Apollo 11 will add considerably to the total. In addition
to the flag and the lower half of the lunar module which
serves as the launch pad for their blast-off from the moon,
Armstrong and Aldrin are leaving behind functioning
scientific equipment and no longer needed items such as
cameras, tools and even parts of their space suits.
It all adds up to some sls million worth of space-age
hardware—a bargain price for the few bags of lunar rocks
for which it is being exchanged.
Citizen Generals
There is no mystery why the Pentagon has been dis
mayed by attacks on ROTC at so many college campuses.
The services would be in bad shape today were it not for a
steady influx of college-educated officers.
According to Army News Features, the most recent
figures show that 27.9 per cent of the Army’s general
officers received their commissions through ROTC. That’s
145 generals out of a total of 519.
Os the 145, 82 are brigadier generals, 59 are major gen
erals, three are lieutenant generals and one is a full
general.
3 Cheers for Nessie
Nessie, it appears, has won again and remains champion
of earth’s unsolved natural mysteries—or myths.
Nessie is the cozy name given a strange creature other
wise down-to-earth Scots firmly believe dwells in the deep
waters of Loch Ness, supposedly a one-of-a-kind biological
leftover from some long-ago age.
Over the years, there have been many reported eye
witness sightings of Nessie —and considerable disagree
ment as to what shape of creature different eyes saw—but
as yet, no concrete evidence acceptable to science that she
(or he or it) actually exists.
Lately, the hunt for Nessie has been taking a technologi
cal turn, sonar sounding of the depths and such. This sum
mer's effort, the most ambitious to date, involves a sub
marine, a little yellow number, which, it is hoped, will
scout out Nessie’s underwater lair.
What with recurrent leaks and other mishaps, however,
the sub has been having difficulty getting on with the job,
a development local Scots firmly believe is the result of
Nessie’s well-known jinx.
Maybe, maybe not. But while we are not about to admit
to being superstitious, or to standing in the way of man’s
advance of the frontiers of knowledge, secretly we’re on
Nessie’s side.
In an age when man is taking his first steps toward un
raveling the secrets of the stars, it’s somehow comforting
that an age-old mystery right here at home still defies
solution.
If Nessie has her (or his or its) way, man will never be
a know-it-all.

MY
ANSWER -fM
by
Someone has sajd that the
“student act!vista” are anarch
ists. It seems that they are oat
to ( destroy the system. In y o ■ r
qplnlon, are they anarchists?
W.B.
I think that generallutlons are
risky. It would be unfair to say
that all students who are de
manding changes In the educa
tional system are anarchists.
But, I believe I can describe
those who are anarchists. First,
and anarchist resorts to violen
ce. In the United States we, his
torically believe In, peaceful,
non-violent dissent. Violence Is a
tool of the revolutionist. They
advocate it, and they practice It.
Second, an anarchist rarely be
lieves In God, for God 13 a Per
son of order, and there 13 no or
der in anarchy. He makes bls
own rules, and the Golden Rule
Is unknown to the anarchist. It
In bls will against all others.
Third, an anarchist Is usually a
moral renegade. He not only re
bels against society; be rebels
against most accepted moral be
havior.
I do not mean to imply that all
students who are caught up in
the campus revolts are anarch
ists. There are always “good
kids”, who are attracted to any
kind of excitement and action—
who get Involved in campus ac
tivity. But, sooner or later, they
will drop out — and leave the
perpetration of chaos to those
who have an Insatiable desire to
destroy.
thoughts
So that through two un
changeable things, in which
it is impossible that God
should prove false, we who
have fled for refuge might
have strong encouragement
to seize the hope set before
us. —Hebrews 6.18.
