Bee Sting Is Said
to Cure Arthritis
BY L. M. BOYD
ARTHRITIS—He suffered with arthritis until the day a
couple of bees stung him. That's what a Modesto, Cal., man
reports. After that, the arthritis cleared up. This is not the first
time a subscriber has made the claim that bee stings cure
arthritis. Some time back a gentleman wrote, “I defy you to find
a professional beekeeper afflicted with arthritis. Go ahead, try.
There just aren’t any.” So I advertised for same, but turned up
none such. Maybe there’s something to it.
SANDWICH SPREAD—How long has it been since you've
seen any food commodity labeled “sandwich spread”? Am told
by an ad man that the makers of cheeses, margarines, and dips
are giving up that expression. On the theory it suggests thick
hips.
A NOMENPHILIAC is a person who likes oddball names.
Would you describe yourself as a nomenphiliac? Likewise ... IF
YOU HAVE TROUBLE telling the sheep from the goats, just
remember the goats always point their tails up, the sheep point
theirs down MORE WOMEN than men go to church. And yet,
more women than men change their church denominations to
those of their spouses when they marry. A paradox, no?
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q.—What does your Name Game
man say about men, like my husband, called Waldemar? A.—
Regret our N. G. man knows nothing whatsoever about husbands
named Waldemar. In fact, only other Waldemar he recalls is
Waldemar Ayres, the gentleman who recently invented the
artificial gill. However, he can start a file immediately on
Waldemars, if your husband either invents things or swims fairly
well. Please advise. . . . Q.—"DID WILD ELEPHANTS ever
roam the North American continent?” A.—Evidently. The dig
gers have found numerous elephant skeletons in the Texas
Panhandle.
TARZAN’S YElX—Suppose at one time or another as a lad
you tried to imitate Tarzan’s yell. Who didn’t, what? But could
you make it sound the way it sounds in the TV movies? Probably
not. Here’s something else that the old folks know but the young
folks don't. That original yell isn’t just one actor’s voice. Blended
in with that voice are the growl of a dog, a trill sung by a
soprano, a note played on a violin's G string and the howl of a
hyena recorded backward.
FLIGHT FEAR—A client claims most of those citizens who
are afraid to ride in airplanes tend also to be of a conservative
persuasion in their politics. Interesting. As examples, he cites
Alabama’s George Wallace and California's Ronald Reagan, both
said to be phobic about flight. He fails to mention Joan Baez and
Jimmy Durante. They, too, are know to loathe altitudes. Can't
say much about the politics of the paradoxical Miss Baez,
altho she is known to respond in a highly reactionary manner
to the income tax. However, Mr. Durante frequently has been
quoted as saying, “Just keep your mitts off da people, see!
Leave them be!

QUOTES
By I nited Press International
LYON, Wis - Rav McGuire
who defends the legality of a
planned nude sky-diving arrival
lie and his friends plan to make
into a nudist camp:
“It's a legal jump because
we'll be landing in the camp.
Besides, we'll be coining in
high enough that the people on
the ground outside the camp
won’t be able to see us with the
naked eye."
PASADENA, Calif.—Dr. Nor
man Horowitz of the California
Institute of Technology explain
ing his interpretation of Mari
ner 7 data:
“If there are inhabitants on
Mars, then these inhabitants
must be microbes. There's
really no way of detecting such
life from a spaceship.”
CANBERRA — Secretary of
State William P. Rogers
commenting on the latest Sino-
Soviet conflicts while at a
defense meeting in Australia:
"It’s our intention not to take
sides in the struggle between
China and the Soviet Union but
to seek to improve our
relationship with either or
both."
NEW YORK—A spokesman
for the Airline Division of th?
International Brotherhood of
Teamsters reporting a strike

Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today is Tuesday, Aug. 12,
the 224th day of 1969 with 141 to
follow.
The moon is between its last
quarter and new phase.
The morning stars are Venus
and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mercu
ry. Mars and Jupiter.
On this day in history:
In 1658 a “rattle watch” of
eight men was formed in the
colony of New Amsterdam—the
first police force in America.
In 1851 Isaac singer was
granted a patent for his sewing
machine—and established a
business in Boston with S4O.
In 1947 fashion designers
started a controversy by
introducing women's dresses
that reached nearly to the
ankles.
In 1961 the U.S. Satellite One
was orbited into space.
A thought for the day—
Somer se t Maugham said,
“People ask you for criticism,
but they want only praise."
THOUGHTS
TUESDAY
For a dream comes with
much business, and a fool's
voice with many words.—
Eccl. 5:3.
* * *
There are two kinds of
fools. One says, “This is old,
therefore it is good." The
other says, “This is new.
therefore it is better."—Wil
liam Ralph Inge, English
theologian.
■ viewpoint;
The Governor is
right and wrong
The Governor is right, and the Governor
is wrong. Even as you and I and everyone
else, at times he hits the nail on the head,
but at times he clobbers his own thumb.
Don't we all?
Governor Maddox banged away at his
thumb the other day when he attempted to
resurrect the old ploy of calling a meeting
of Southern governors to protest school in
tegration. Georgia has been that route be
fore and found it led only into a deadend
street.
On the other hand, the Governor was
right - right as rain - when he declared
war on obscenity. The mass flushing of ob
scene material over Georgia as well as the
nation is disgusting, corrupting, outrage
ous.
We keep reading and hearing a lot about
obscenity and young people. That is im
portant, of course, but the fact is that there
would not be nearly as much obscenity if it
were not for adults. We have no way of
knowing who prints or photographs ob
scene material, or of who sells and who
buys it. But we are certain that many
adults are as auilty as sin, and they are
even more to blame than young people be
cause they should be setting a good ex
ample instead of wallowing around in the
gutter as if that is the proper place to be.
Crime Is Crime,
White or Black
Another kind of black power is beginning to manifest
itself, the House Select Committee on Crime was informed
the other day.
According to Ralph Salerno, a former New York detec
tive and a national authority on the Mafia, or Cosa Nostra,
or Syndicate, a "black Mafia" is emerging which could
challenge the mob's control over organized crime in the
ghettos.
In Buffalo, for example. Negroes are muscling in on the
numbers racket, forcing the Mafia to grudgingly step aside.
"The mob is afraid of the militancy of these Negroes,”
Salerno told the congressmen. “They know they’re dealing
with people who will shoot back at them.”
In New York, however, most of the shooting is being
directed at other Negroes. There the black Mafia appears
to have adopted the same empire-building methods
patented by its white counterpart. Last year, 19 Negroes
were mysteriously murdered in New York, all in approved
gangland fashion.
Black Mafia against white Mafia—an interesting de
velopment. Would that each might cancel the other out.
For the victims of organized crime, though, the more
things may change, the more they will remain the same.
A hood is a hood is a hood, regardless of race, creed,
color or organizational affiliation.

Social Change
I read where several promi
nent ministers have turned their
pulpits into podiums or social
change. Does the Bible support
such action? I k n ow that Chris
tains are to be interested and
concerned for the ills of society,
but isn’t the pulpit a sacred
place for the preaching of the
Gospel? O.N.
We are all concerned about the
social injustices of our times.
Put. these have existed through
out the centuries. While minis
ters should come to grips with
social problems, they should po
int out that the best and most
permanent social change tak
es place only when men's hearts
are changed in a democratic so
ciety — and this should be the
crux and theme o their mess
age. The tragic thing is that
many ministers are advocating
social change to the exclusion of
the preaching of the redemptive
Gospel of Christ. When the two
are Scripturally harmonized, as
in the days of the Wesleys and
the Booths, great redemptive re
formation takes place. When we
use carnal methods, oblivious of
spiritual laws, tragedy results—
as we have seen.
Ezekiel spoke of this problem
centuries ago. He said of Israel:
“Her priests have done violence
to my law and have profaned my
holy things; they have made no
distinction between the holy and
the common, neither have they
taught the difference between
the clean and the unclean. . so,
I have profaned them.”
As a result, millions of o u r
citidens have lost all sense of the
sacred, have become completely
materialistic, and have lost their
moral perception.
