He Gave Her 10c
a Day to Squander
BY L. M. BOYD
A STUDENT of crime named Fredric Wertham contends
almost half the murderers in the country get away with it. . . .
WRITES an Omaha lady: “My husband, the humorist, refers to
me as ‘one of those M and M girls, halfway between menopause
and medicare.’ "... DID YOU KNOW that no two tigers are
striped alike? . . . INCREDIBLE, MAYBE, but correspondents
in the Far East claim island girls are still sold in the Singapore
markets at a current rate of about $l5O each. . . . EXACTLY 7
PER CENT of the people who retire sell out, pack up, and move
to someplace else.
LOVE AND WAR— Her husband gave her a dime a day to
squander. That’s what a wife from Cleveland told the judge when
she asked for a divorce. She wanted to paint still life pictures,
she said, and her husband decided the daily dime was all she
deserved to buy supplies because she didn’t know much about
art. So she said she didn’t like her husband. She said it took her
six years to save enough dimes to pay the legal fees. What
perseverance! Bang, divorce granted. Our Love and War man
congratulates her. He doesn’t flat out indorse divorce, it’s not
that. But he admires a woman who doesn’t know much about art,
but knows what she doesn’t like.
RABBITS— A report that 30 per cent of all shotgun shells are
fired at rabbits has riled numerous animal lovers. Such slaughter
shakes them up, and being neither hunter nor anti, I won’t argue
the matter. But it should be noted that two out of every three
rabbits alive in the spring are gone by the start of the fall
hunting season. Not shot. Just gone. Other predators get them, I
guess.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “Chrysanthemums are the most
popular flowering plants, correct?” A. They rank third. African
violets are first, geraniums second. . . . Q. “WHICH OF THE
TWO would make the best anti-freeze in a car radiator, wine or
milk?” A. Milk. . . . Q. “DO FIGHTERS ever get knocked
permanently punch drunk with just one punch?” A. That’s pretty
rare. Mostly it comes from a whole career of shots to the head.
. . . Q. "IS THERE ANYPLACE in the world where the men
generally outlive the women?” A. Only in Guatemala as far as I
know.
TOO LITTLE PROGRESS has been made in raising women’s
salaries to the levels of the men’s. Much too little progress. Did
you know a girl still only gets 58.6 per cent as much money as a
man gets in the same job? That’s average . . . “ITS BECAUSE
OF MEN that women so dislike each other,” said La Bruyere.
Quote the foregoing for the benefit of a young Fresno lady who
says she can’t figure out why her mother-in-law hates her, hates
her, hates her.
RAPID REPLY: No, Mrs. J., that Des Moines, la.,
clergyman named Rev. Sinning does not qualify for membership
in the Proper Job club, despite his service on the State Liquor
Control commission.

Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today is Tuesday Sept. 30,
the 273rd day of 1969 with 92 to
follow.
The moon is approaching its
last quarter.
The morning stars are
Mercury, Venus and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mars
and Jupiter.
On this day in history:
In 1846 Dr. William Morton, a
dentist in Charleston, Mass.,
extracted a tooth for the first
time with the help of anesthe
sia.
In 1938 Germany, France,
Britain and Italy met in Munich
for a conference which British
Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain said promised “peace in
our time.” The “peace” lasted
exactly 337 days.
In 1953 President Dwight D.
Eisenhower appointed Califor
nia Governor Earl Warren chief
justice of the U.S. Supreme
Court.
In 1962 two persons were
killed during riots marking
intergration of the University of
Mississippi.
A thought for the day: Louis
Kaufman Anspacher said,
“Marriage is that relation
between man and woman in
which the independence is
equal, the dependence mutual
and the obligation reciprocal.”

The Importance of City Character
Several years ago, in a penetrating study of the
industrial development of selected North
Carolina cities, Mrs. Ruth Mace discovered that
industrialists ranked “city character” very high
as a locational factor. This coincides with our
own long-held observation that each city or town
has an individual personality, quite analogous to
Mrs. Mace’s city character label.
Because cities and towns are merely
congregations of people, each community, large
or small, tends to reflect the interests, hopes and
desires of its people. The beautiful, the livable,
the great city achieves its distinctive character
mainly because its citizenry — both the civic
leadership and those who followed that
leadership — believed in a great destiny and
worked in concert to achieve certain goals, such
as physical beauty, cultural ascendancy, or
economic superiority. In contrast, there are all
too many communities which long have lacked
vision, interest and desire and now are without
hope, withering on the vine.
In the 10 North Carolina cities included in
Mrs. Mace’s survey, most municipal officials
believed that their cities’ chief attractions for
industry were those “factors relating or
contributing to the character or the livability of
the community,” whereas the developer
emphasized these considerations as second to
that of the labor force as a major locational
determinant. Numerous industrialists confirmed
the validity of these beliefs by citing city
character and labor force as among the top three
factors in determining their site selections
(markets was the third factor cited). In the three
cities most frequently chosen by industries
which considered alternative locations, city
character ranked second only to the labor factor
The character
of this city
Georgia Development News recently pub
lished an article entitled "The Importance
of City Character". It is reprinted on this
page, and we invite everyone interested in
his city to read it.
Little needs to be added in Griffin to the
article, but we do point out that a city's
character is the composite character of its
citizens. This is reflected by the character
of the men and women it elects to office.
Griffin will elect a city commissioner in
November. The character of the person
elected for a three-year term on the three
member commission will determine to a
large extent the character of the City of
Griffin for those three years. Our city gov
ernment has only three commissioners, and
any two of them can determine the policies
and thus the character of the City of Grif
fin. One commissioner is elected each year,
so the entire character of the city can be
determined in 24 months.
Election time is a good time to decide
what kind of city we really want Griffin to
be. We suggest that voters decide which
candidate has the personal traits of char
acter which nearest approach the charact
er desired for the city, then vote according
ly.

among the four topmost reasons cited for
ultimate choices.
As identified by the respondent North
Carolina industrialists, city character embraces
three major elements - general appearance,
educational and cultural facilities, and adequate
housing. Although it is difficult to evaluate
precisely the degree to which municipal policies
contribute to these aspects of city character,
they can either hinder or encourage such facets
of the community. The elected municipal official
usually operates in response to loci political
pressures which, in many instances, come from
men of limited vision who have a vested interest
in maintaining the status quo.
Thus, political leadership sometimes may lack
the vigor and courage essential to the progressive
and dynamic leadership that can rebuild our
cities closer to the desires of its citizenry - that
can create the most livable of communities.
Truly great community leadership rises above the
individual - it is a mass action - the meshing of
the desires of a majority of interests into a
common goal. And it results in a deep, persuasive
sense of civic pride — the kind that causes the
ordinary citizen to abhor the sight of a single
discarded beer can on the city street equally as
much as to feel a tingle of satisfaction at the sight
of new construction along the city skyline.
When we look about us, we are keenly
conscious of how few are the cities and towns in
this country that have truly achieved a high
degree of livability for their citizens. We are too
often deluded by the belief that bigness is
greatness. Every industrial developer has a real
stake in upgrading the character of those
communities in his respective area of operation.

MY
ANSWER
*
Feeling Anxiety
wiy problem is feelings of
anxiety about the future. I can’t
understand why God gives so
much to some people and so
little to others. This disturbs
me, and I would appreciate an
answer. C.B.
I think in every generation
there have been those who have
had this same problem, and it is
mainly because they have had
only a limited viewpoint of the
justice of God. For example, the
Psalmist long ago raised the
question and he said, “Sbehold,
these are the wicked, and being
always at ease, they increase in
riches.” Then the Psalmist
thought of himself in contrast
and his righteousness and he
complained saying, “Surely in
vain I have cleansed my heart,
and washed my hands in in
nocency.’”
I suppose many people have
felt this way—that it doesn’t pay
to be good, it doesn’t pay to be
righteous, it doesn’t pay to
serve God. Then suddenly the
Psalmist went into the temple
and there in the time of heart
searching and of devotion he
received the answer. His
problem became actually pain
ful. In fact he said, “When I
thought how I might know this,
it was too painful for me; until I
went unto the sanctuary of God
and considered the latter en
d”( Psalm 73).
Your view is too limited and
too close up. You must get a
view of eternity and think in
terms of what man has been
created for. You have been
fashioned for eternity, and
unless you live that way you are
always going to be perplexed
and distrubed. Never forget
that whatever it appears like at
the present moment that God is
forever a God of justice and of
mercy.
The Scriptures actually
thunder the message, “It pays
to live for God no matter what
the cost.”
WORLD ALMANAC
Charles Stratton, the
American dwarf who came
to be known as “Tom
Thumb,” was born Jan. 4,
1838. The World Almanac
says that, although born of
normal parents, Tom
ceased to grow in height at
the age of seven months.
Perfectly proportioned, ac
tive and intelligent, he
stood approximately 28 ■
inches tall. He toured the
world with P. T. Barnum,
and married a dwarf girl,
Lavinia Warren, in 1863. He
died July 15. 1883.
THOUGHTS
“A young Hebrew was
there with us, a servant of
the captain of the guard;
and when we told him, he
interpreted our dreams to
us, giving an interpretation
to each man according to his
dream.”—Genesis 41:12.

It takes a person who is
wide-awake to make his
dreams come true.—Roger
Babson, American financial
statistician.
