Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today Is Wednesday, July 23,
the 204th day of 1969 with 161 to
folow.
The moon is between its first
quarter and full phase.
The morning stars are Venus
and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mars,
Jupiter and Mercury.
On this day in history:
In 1803 Irish patriot Robert
Emmett led an Insurrection
against the British which failed.
He was sentenced to death for
treason.
In 1904 the ice cream cone
was born when Ch a r les
Menches of St. Louis, Mo.
called on a young lady with a
bouquet of flowers and an ice
cream sandwich. She fashioned
one sandwich layer Into a vase
and this suggested a cone type
holder for Ice cream.
In 1945 Marshall Henri Petain
of France went on trial in Paris
on charges of World War II
treason.
In 1968 eight persons, six of
them policemen, were killed in
racial disorder in Cleveland,
Ohio.
A thought for the day: British
poet William Blake said, “No
bird soars too high, if he soars
with his own wings.”

Griffin’s greatest
and grizzly sin
Rev. Bob Harrington, the Chaplain of
Bourbon Street, is conducting a great re
vival here in Griffin. We are glad he has
come our way.
One thing about Satan, he is no snob. He
visits Griffin just as frequently as he does
Bourbon Street. He gets around, Satan
does, and he spends a lot of time with all
classes and races of people. So we need a
community-wide revival here, and we are
glad that we are having one.
The Bourbon Street Chaplain got us to
thinking about sin. The more we thought a
bout it, the more we became convinced that
Griffin's greatest sin is the grizzled one
called "Complacency".
We've gotten downright complacent here.
We are proud of this and we are proud of
that, and rightly so. We have swept some
our troubles under the community carpet
and left them for someone else to solve.
We have taken to looking the other way too
often, and we are more apt to talk about
how terrible things are somewhere else
than we are about some of things which
happen here at home.
All of which is to say that we are mighty
glad that Reverend Bob Harrington, the
Chaplian of Bourbon street, is here and
he is conducting a great revival in Griffin.
We'd like to hear him preach on com
placency. We could sure use a sermon on
that.
Feed roots and
plant will grow
THE MOULTRIE OBSERVER
Georgia’s current Director of Welfare, William
Burson, deserves a supporting hand in carrying out the
program he has been laying out to welfare departments
and community leaders everywhere he has been in the
state.
Burson is eminently correct, by the very nature of
the present status of welfare in Georgia, when he says
the system has failed utterly to achieve the main ob
jective—getting at the roots of the problem and elimi
nating the things which cause proverty.
The state director has proposed five basic steps to
cure the welfare ills:
1. Feed the hungry.
2. Prevent unwanted birtns.
3. Teach the illiterate to read and write, and
provide the untrained with a skill with earning power.
4. Eliminate sickness, disease and physical
handicaps among the poverty stricken, or see that the
unfortunate are helped to overcome them.
5. Teach every child his worth and value as
a human being and instill in him the feeling of dignity
and usefulness demanded by a truly free society.
We who live in an agricultural area such as this
recognize that plantlife, to grow and produce a bounti
ful harvest, must be properly nurtured. Plantlife must
have food and water; it must be cultivated, and both
disease and insects kept away from it. And there must
be a recognition of the maturity at harvest time.
This problem of welfare threatens to engulf the
nation unless we can find ways and means of analyzing
the problem and curing it by long-range methods. Wel
fare funds, alone, cannot accomplish the mission. The
past record demonstrates the truth of it.
Mr. Burson has expressed himself as believing Geor
gia should embark on a new, more realistic approach
to welfare—one designed to make useful citizens of
the poverty-stricken rather than continuing to accept
them as wards of the state.
I He needs the support and assistance of many to do
the job through the Department of Family and Child
ren’s Services. Each of the county departments will
organize, or already have done so, volunteer units to
“get involved’’ in this new approach. We commend it
as a worthy step toward ending the hand-out type of
welfare.

"Speaking as your doctor, and as a member of AMA,
I'm pleased to tell you you're in good shape, now!"
MY
ANSWER-fA)
I hear a lot abotit the “free
enterprise system”, and many
people seem to think that this is
what is unique about America.
Frankly, 1 don’t know what it Is.
Will you explain the free enter
prise system, and tell me if It is
re*L>y the genius of America?
A.C.
While I believe in a free enter
prise system, I really don’t be
lieve this is the unique thing ab
out America.
Free enterprise is simply the
economic doctrine that private
industry should operate with a
minimum of control from gov
ernment. But if this is the gen
ius of America, it means that
profit-making is our chief a 1 m
and goal. Personally, I don’t be
lieve that it is. Nor do I believe
that Jesus taught that it Is life’s
chief gbal. He said, "The abun
dance of a man’s life consisteth
not in the things which he poss
esaeth.” He said, (regarding ma
terial things) “Seek you first the
kingdom of God and his right
eousness, and al these things
shall be added unto you.”
To work for pleasure, for crea
tivity, or for the glory of God, is
a lost art in these United States.
Most of us are money-making
machines, and nothing more —
and that is the reason for the
secularization of our society.
Our forefathers came to this
land, not to make more money,
but for religious freedom. But,
we have become slaves of mam
mon, and have drifted afar from
the American ideal. We need to
rediscover faith, creativity, love
of work, love for our fellow man,
and love for God.

Man has been chewing
various gums and resins
for enjoyment since an
cient times. The Greeks
chewed gum from the mas
tic tree, Maya Indians
chewed chicle and Indians
of New England introduced
the colonists to chewing
spruce tree resins. The

Spruce gum became the
first commercial chewing
gum when John Curtis mar

Pure Spruce Gum” in 1848.
