Maddox Says US
Needs ‘Revival’
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI)
—The country needs a revival
of the good “old time religion"
and a president “sold out to
God,” preached Gov. Lester
Maddox from the pulpit of the
Trinity Baptist Church Sunday.
“It’s great to be back in
South Georgia,” Maddox joked
with the Jacksonville, Fla. con
gregation, then launched into
his four page sermon, crammed
with some of the governor’s fa
miliar themes.
America would see a return
of power to local agencies and
victory over the communists
both at home and abroad if the
nation had just one president
who would heed the word of
God rather than that of party,
power or money. We need, ex
horted Maddox, “one real
American president who is com-

the Supreme Court.
Roosevelt asked Byrnes to
resign from the bench the
following year to become
director of economic stabiliza
tion, although he had opposed
some of Roosevelt’s “New
Deal” welfare programs. In
1943, Byrnes took over the
Office of War Mobilization, and
Roosevelt dubbed him “my
assistant president for the
home front.”
pletely sold out to God and his
country and no one else.”
But even more Important, ac
cording to Maddox, would be
revival of Christian Americans,
which would spread like prairie
fire across the continent. This
will come "when multiplied
thousands of Bible - believing,
born again Christians ... take
their stand for God,” predicted
the governor.
Maddox’s final words sum
med up his sermon succinctly:
“The old paths were good
enough for our forefathers.”
“They were good enough for
our fathers."
“They are good enough for
us.”

THE DOCTOR SAYS
Fill Your Leisure Hours
With Interesting Hobbies
By WAYNE G. BRANDSTADT, M.D.
A famous doctor once said
that the secret of his suc
cessful life was work. I hope
that on this Labor Day in the
midst of modern technology
we are not losing sight of the
blessing of stimulating work
and its attendant feeling of
accomplishment. To the
young man it brings hope, in
middle age it brings confi
dence and to the aged it can
bring peace of mind.
One must not, however, let
it become the whole of life.
When the normal work day
is finished you should leave
your job behind completely.
If a man can’t finish his
work in eight hours, he either
has too big a job or he is a
poor organizer. Carrying a
brief case home every night
may turn it into a grief case
and lead to insomnia, a
heart attack, an ulcer or high
blood pressure. For this rea
son, it is essential to have
one or more hobbies with
which to fill your leisure
hours—preferably ones quite
unlike your daily occupation.
Using a part of each day
for recreation will in the
long run enable you to re
turn to your work refreshed
and will increase your effici
ency. Working at a job you
like is life’s greatest plea
sure. As John Mason Brown
so wisely put it: “Existence
is a strange bargain. Life
owes us little; we owe it
everything. The only true

Q—What does a routine
medical checkup consist of?
A—lt should include a
careful history of past ill
nesses and of any symptoms
you may have at present,
followed by a thorough physi
cal examination and such
tests as urinalysis and com
plete blood count (red cells,
white cells and hemoglobin).
Depending on your age and
symptoms, other tests may
be necessary, such as proc
toscopy, electrocardiogram,
chest X ray and blood chem
istry.
Q—Forty years ago I con
tracted amebiasis in the
Orient but the diagnosis was
not made for six years. Now
I must take treatments for
it periodically. My doctor is
giving me Entero-Vioform.
Could this drug harm my
heart in any way?
A—This drug should not be
taken by anyone who is sen
sitive to iodine. It will not
damage your heart.

Memphis Shook
Over Killings
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPD—Po
lice today pressed a massive in
vestigation into four recent slay
ings, believed the work of a
‘‘cunning sex killer,” hoping to
prevent the slayer from striking
again.
Top officials had noted “mark
ed similarities” between three
earlier stranglings, but they is
sued a stern warning with the
discovery Saturday of the body
of pretty Glenda Sue Harden, 21.
“We highly suspect that the
individual responsible for this
crime was also responsible for
the murders of Mr. and Mrs.
Roy K. Dumas and of Mrs. Lei
la Jackson,” said Police Direc
tor Frank Holloman.
He urged every citizen to
“use every possible effort and
method to preserve security in
homes and elsewhere.”
Miss Harden, a tall, auburn
haired secretary for an insur
ance firm, was last seen leav
ing work Friday afternoon in a
gold mini-dress and black shoes.
Her car was found parked in
a riverfront parking area about
12 hours later, containing her
purse, but not the $l4O she pre
sumably received after cashing
her paycheck.
Her body was found lying face
down in Riverside Park, about
five miles from her car, almost
24 hours after she left work.
Police Chief Henry Lux said
the woman had “several”
wounds in the chest apparently
inflicted by a sharp instrument.
He declined to reveal other de
tails of the slaying.
Miss Harden was described as
an active church worker, and
was to have met her fiance—
their engagement was to have
been announced Sept. 7—after
leaving work Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. Dumas, were
found strangled in separate bed
rooms of their apartment Aug.
14. Both had been bound and
Mrs. Dumas had been sexually
molested.
Eleven days later, Donald Eu
gene Jackson, 19 walked into
the apartment of his 80-year-old
grandmother to find her similar
ly strangled.
Ares was the ancient Greek
god of war.
