'Take Me Home for
a Pet!' She Cries
BY L. M. BOYD
LOVE AND WAR—A blonde receptionist, who is never short
of interested gentlemen friends, says her standard opener when
her office is crowded with strange men goes like this: She throws
a handful of paper clips up in the air and moans, “How long do I
have to stay single and unsatisfied? Why doesn’t somebody take
me home for a pet?” Rather to the point, what? Nonetheless, it
gets results, evidently. “After that performance,” she says, “I
never have to wait more than 10 minutes before some smooth
article sidles up to ask me out to dinner.” Our love and War man
frowns on the procedure. He says it’s too direct. He calls it dirty.
"HOW FREQUENTLY does it happen that a man of 55 or
older fathers a new baby?” inquires a client. At last report the
record showed about 15,000 men over that age were becoming
fathers annually. . MOST TALKATIVE CITIZENS in the nation
no doubt live in Warren, Mich. That town has 90,000 people with
203,000 telephones.
TEARS — When his creditors finally got to him on July 21,
1913, the legendary Buffalo Bill Cody, wobbly on a bale of hay,
cried and cried and cried. Would not bring this up if it mattered
to Buffalo Bill anymore. But a letter from a tough-talking Texan
mocks the modern men who weep, contends old westerners never
did. He’s wrong. Cody wept. For hours.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “Where can an 18-year-old buy
booze legally?” A. Only in Louisiana and New York so far as I
know. Q. “IT WAS STEVE ALLEN, not Jack Paar, who started
the first of the late night television talk shows, right?” A. Allen
was before Paar all right, but the first of the bunch was a
humorous gentleman named Jerry Lester. That was 19 years
ago.
BEAUTY — “As to which are the world’s most beautiful
women,” writes an Everett, Wash., subscriber, “I can tell you
from experience there’s a whole raft of girls in the Far North
who are half Swede and half Eskimo, and what makes them the
most beautiful is you never have to fight about who brings in the
wood or goes to the crick for water.”
NOTE A FADED SIGN on a Wenatchee, Wash., apple
orchard fence: “God help those who help themselves.”. . .EVEN
NOW, THERE are more killings in Chicago every year than in
all of Great Britain. . IT IS REPORTED a lady named Sarah
Jean Glover of West Virginia became a grandmother at the age
of 27.. .AN OUTDOORSMAN contends no raccoon ever sleeps in
the same tree two nights running. Didn’t know that.. .ALL
CREWMEN on Britain’s royal yacht Britannia are required to
wear gym shoes so they won’t go clomp clomp and wake up Her
Majesty.
READING — If your high school boy has trouble with his
reading, get him to take a typing course. For some reason, the
teachers say, a student’s ability to read well perks up
considerably as he learns to type.

The entire Apollo n project

The Unite States has, becau

The best way to meet these ob

Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today is Monday, Aug. 18,
the 230th day of 1969 with 135 to
follow.
The moon is approaching its
first quarter.
The morning stars are Venus
and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mercu
ry, Mars and Jupiter.
On this day in history:
In 1856 the Patent Office
approved condensed milk but
doubted it would ever be of
much commercial value.
In 1914 Germany declared
war on Russia.
In 1916 Abraham Lincoln’s
birthplace in Hodgenville, Ky.,
was donated as a national
shrine.
In 1940 the United States and
Canada establisned a plan of
Joint defense.
A thought for the day: Miguel
de Cervantes said, “Fortune
may have yet a better success
in reserve for you, and they
who lose today may win
tomorrow.”
B viewpoint
Griffin now has
sites for industry
President Gene Cook of the Chamber of
Commerce reported the other day on a visit
to Griffin by F. E. "Andy" Andrews of the
Industrial Development Division of the
Georgia Power Company.
The visitor, wrote Mr. Cook, declared that
from the standpoint of what most indust
rial prospects are looking for in a commun
ity Griffin seems to meet every test except
one. "You have a site problem." Then,
shown about 69 acres owned by the city and
county, Mr. Andrews said. "This would put
you in business."
The city has now made 29 of the 70 avail
able. Owned by the city, it is adjacent to the
airport and is alongside and cast of indust
rial property now occupied by United Cot
ton Goods, Heisdorf and Nelson, and Uni
versal Cottons.
Spalding County has made about 40
acres available. It formerly was the county
farm and fronts on the new Griffin-Barnes
ville expressway and Carver road.
The Griffin Daily News believes that both
the city and the county acted wisely. We
appreciate the efforts of the Chamber of
Commerce and the interest of the Georgia
Power Company, particularly since the
Power Company does not retail electricity
in Griffin.
Griffin and Spalding need new industry
to provide more jobs, to help share the tax
load, and to stimulate the economy.
From where we sit it looks as if the Cham
ber of Commerce is making real progress.
As a matter of fact, the C of C seems to
have a new outlook as well as a "new look"
in its office. We like it. Don't you?

Secret
I meet some Christians who
are buoyant and victorious, and
others who differ very little to
the average person. The ques
tion I want to ask you is this: is
there a secret, a key, to being a
triumphant Christian? G.L.
Yes, there is. I have read the
biographies of great Christians,
hsve observed many of them
through the years. I am convin
ced that the key is a fully sur
irendered life, and bearing the
fruit of the spirit. Many profess
>ed Christians have never really
■gone all the way with God. They
hold on to some binding habit:
they harbor an unforgiving spir
it, or have some secret sin.
Christ called for total commit
ment. He said, “If any man will
come after me. let him deny
himself, take up his cross, and
follow me,” There is no hint
here of half-allegiance, or frag
mentary surrender. It was said
of the disciples, “They forsook
all and followed Jesus.”
We sometimes forget that al
though we sing, “Jesus paid it
all.” the song also says, “all to
Him I owe.” Now, we don’t pay
or work to obtain salvation. It is
of God’s free grace. But discip
leship is costly. But those who
have paid the price never think
it is too high. It was said of the
first martyrs, “They loved not
their lives. They had found their
lives by losing them in the love
and service of God.” The price
of real discipleship, and victor
ious living has never changed.

FACTS
The 4,000-year history of
the chair has seen it take
on many shapes and de
signs. An early American
contribution to man’s se
dentary comfort is the
rocking chair, which most
authorities believe was in
vented by Benjamin Frank
lin, The World Almanac
says. It is thought that
Franklin built a rocker
around 1760. to which he
later affixed a wide arm
for reading and writing,
and a fan operated by the
rocking.
