A Masterful Man
Is Most Appealing
BY L. M. BOYD
LOVE AND WAR — ‘‘Women want a man who will say,
Come here, you,’ then kiss them until they can’t breathe,”
claimed Greta Lamb. Maybe she was right. But what she left
unsaid is not many men can get away with that kind of muscular
behavior. Takes a certain knack. Like sporting a beard takes a
certain knack. Or smoking with a silver cigaret holder. Or
wearing yellow knickers. In this game of Love and War, not
every Tom, Dick and What’s-His-Name can kiss the girls
breathless without incurring nipped lips. More on this later.
THERE AREN’T many Great Danes in Denmark. In fact,
hardly any.... IF THE WORLD’S best dessert isn’t spumoni,
what is? . . . BALD-HEADED MEN outnumber bald-headed
women by 20 to 1, but women who wear wigs outnumber men
who wear hairpieces by 10 to 1. . . . DO YOU KNOW why
Rodin's “The Thinker” is sitting down? His feet hurt. Take a
close look. Big bunions on both feet. . . . HALF THE NATION’S
widowers remarry within five years.
MEAL TICKETS — Do cases still sell meal tickets?
Certainly some must. I just don’t get around enough. Years ago
as a fraction of a lad, I was farmed out for a couple of weeks to
the care of a widow woman who above all else hated drink and
drinkers. One day she took me to a small case, which sported a
“No Drinking” sign, where she expected to pay for our
sandwiches with her meal ticket. A ragged old boy with a
distinctive fragrance about him sat down on the stool next to me,
ordered a large lunch, then slipped a liquor bottle out of his
pocket and took a pull. The widow promptly beckoned the
waitress over, and pointed significantly to the character. The
waitress nodded sweetly, picked up the widow’s meal ticket, and
— punch, punch, punch — drilled out the price of the old boy s
lunch. We left. Swiftly.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “On a TV crime show the other
night, a character was portrayed as running from his office to
his car, carrying a suitcase containing ‘one million dollars in S2O
bills.’ Could a man lift that much?” A. Could lift it all right.
Might have a little trouble running with it. It would weigh about
102 pounds... .Q. “NOW OUR NEIGHBORHOOD bridge cham
pion, chief joke teller, and foremost collector of useless data
contends the official insignia of the Republican party is not the
elephant, but the eagle. How about it?” A. He’s got that right.
Furthermore, the official insignia of the Democrat party is not
the donkey, but a star.
PUZZLE—A mathematically minded fellow in Toledo, 0.,
says the puzzles which appear herein from time to time are too
easy. Doesn’t even bother to use a pencil, he says. All right,
here’s one for him: “1 spent one sixth of my years as a boy in
Canada,” said the gentleman with the white beard, “and one
twelfth with the police department in Chicago, and one seventh
plus five years running a case in Cleveland. This took me up to
the time my son Pete was born. Well, he took over the case just
four years ago when he was exactly half my present age.” How
old is the gentleman with the white beard?

FACTS

W W Il 8
By the end of the 18th
century, the British called
all U.S. citizens Yankees.
It is generally believed,
The World Almanac says,
that Yankee is a corruption
of the Dutch Jan Kaas
(John Cheese) applied by
the English to Dutch
pirates and, in the North
American colonies, to all
Dutchmen as a term of de
rision. In Germany and
Flanders, Jan Kaas was
known as a nickname for
the Dutch for centuries.

Obscene stuff
in Griffin places
Glancing at the magazine rack in one of
the not locally owned convenience-type
stores in Griffin the other night, we were
struck full in the face with objectionable
material including one or more books about
homosexuals. (Name of the place upon re
quest) .
We have trash on the movie screens in
Griffin, trash on the magazine racks in
Griffin ,and trash transported through the
mails in Griffin.
The garbage heap is too good a place for
stuff like this, and we hereby appeal pub
licly to those establishments which handle
it to clean it out.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Looking for momentary respite from the controvers
ies of the troubled 60s, we turned, as is sometimes our
wont, to the newspaper files of yesteryear. Here are
some things we found in the halcyon days of May and
June, 1920:
—“The shortage of housing has been acute.” —
From an editorial of May 2.
—“Most of us are apt to forget that there are two
Irelands, one at the north and the other at the south,
and that the difficulties of a settlement tolerable to
both are very great.”—From an editorial of May 2.
—“Campaign to Cut Down Cost of Living Started.”
—Headline of May 8.
—"Juvenile delinquency is uecuming more serious
each day. . .”—From a news story, June 3.
—“Committee Attacks Army Expenditures.” —
Headline of June 4.
—“Plan and fashion as we win, me country is in for
a prolonged period of heavy taxation.”—From a news
story of June 4, quoting the report of the Republican
platform committee at the 1920 national convention.
—“The country need expect no reduction in food
prices this year, according to officials in the Depart
ment of Agriculture.”—From a news story on June 4.
The clincher, though, was this wire service report
from Chapel Hill: “A powerful, searching appeal to the
men and women of Carolina to resist to the utmost the
present day attack on established institutions. . . by
Dr. Samuel Black McCormack... ushered in the first
day of commencement at the University of North Caro
lina.” Thus refreshed, we returned our thoughts to
fresh new controversies of today—such as the teaching
of evolution in the public schools. (Winston-Salem (N.
C.) Journal)

"The trouble with today is there are no more hicks!"
MY
ANSWER ~4!
Av
What is the meaning of com
plete silence and meditation that
some religious groups teach?
just what does it mean to prac
tice the presence of God? C.P.
There is a vast difference bet
ween letting your mind slip in
to freewheeling which is what
some people do when they talk
about silent meditation. It is
simply the absence of thought,
and psychologists teach us that
it is possible for a person to
throw his thinking apparatus in
to neutral and just let the engine
idle. But this is not the Christian
kind of meditation. The Scrip
tures teach that we must have
something concerning which
we meditate. For example, in
the First Psilm David writes,
“And in His law doth he medi
tate day and night.” In other
words, there was content to the
psalmist’s meditation, and there
is always something concerning
which the Christian meditates.
That somethlpg is the truth of
Scripture.
Nor does one really practice
the presence of God any more
than a man practices the pre
sence of his wife. Either she is
there or she is not. There is no
make believe about it. Neither
can you practice the presence of
God unless He is there. The tru
th of Scripture is, ”1 will never
leave you or forsake you." This
we take by faith. Christ is with
us. Meditate on Him! "Thou wilt
keep Him in perfect peace whose
mind is stayed on Thee.”
Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today is Wednesday, Sept. 3,
the 246th day of 1969 with 119 to
follow.
The moon is in its last
quarter.
The morning stars are Venus
and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mercu
ry, Mars and Jupiter.
On this day in history:
In 1783 ♦’»<» Revolutionary
War officially ended with the
United States and Great Britain
signing the Treaty of Paris.
America had won its indepen
dence.
In 1916 the Allies turned back
the Germans at Verdun In
World War I.
In 1939 Great Britain de
clared war on Germany and
France made the same declara
tion six hours later, followed
quickly by Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa and
Canada.
In 1943 Allied forces Invaded
the Italian mainland in World
War 11.
A thought for the day: In his
first statement to the House of
Commons after becoming Bri
tain’s wartime prime minister,
Winston Churchill said, “I have
nothing to offer but blood, toil,
tears and sweat.”
THOUGHTS
Xnd he said to him, “Well
done, good servant! Because
you have been faithful in a
very little, you shall have
authority over ten cities.”—
Luke 19:17.

Doing little things with a
strong desire to please God
makes them really great.—
