YOU GUYS JUST AIN'T GOT NO CULTURAL TASTE !

-t 1
By L. M. Boyd
LOVE AND WAR -- What does a girl do first upon leaving the
company of a fellow who has just told her, “I love you”? She
•looks in the mirror. So says our Love and War man. What boys do
when they hear these declarations differs. What happened the
first time you traded such dialogue with a young lady, mister?
Vaguely recall a scene of that ilk myself. But so long ago it’s
impersonal now. Believe I jumped off the girl’s back porch and
ran up the alley, tipping over garbage cans for about three blocks,
and there was a lot of bawdy hollering out of rear windows and
some slamming of kitchen doors.
BETWEEN THE DAY you’re born and the time you reach
your full growth, your head doubles in length, your trunk triples,
your arms quadruple and your legs might even
quintuple . . RARELY DO YOU encounter a dog’s name that
has flair, but I know a German Shepherd watchdog with bad
breath called “Gardol,” and that has flair ... A KINDLY
SUBSCRIBER claims he is acquainted with a young lady in
Roseville, Calif., whose true name is Iva Fighur, but he doesn’t
know her measurements.
CONSIDER THIS - No doubt you’re acquainted with those
psychological tests some corporations use to check out the men
who apply for jobs. One such test asks if the applicant plays
bridge. If he says yes, he is eliminated as a candidate for
employment on the theory that male bridge players are too
effeminate. Pinochle players pass, however.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “Does Sen. George McGovern wear
a hairpiece?” A. Not anymore . . .Q. “HOW BIG was King
Kong?” A. He stood 148 feet tall, weighed 55 million pounds. Or
that was the story from Universal Studios. Sizable ape,
what? . . . Q. “ON THE NIGHT Lincoln was shot, was there a
doctor in the house?" A. There were three.
FROM HER LATE 20s until her early 50s, the average
woman’s bust measurement goes from a little over 34 inches to a
little over 38 inches. Look, somebody specifically asked about
this. I didn’t just go look it up for the fun of it ... A FELLOW
ALREADY twice divorced says he is about to marry once more.
He wants to know the statistical chances of his success the third
time around. Sad to say, the file on this matter shows the odds
run four to one he will wind up in the divorce court again.
PUBLIC OPINION -- What does the citizenry think of the
Vietnam war? 1 mean in comparison to World War 11. Do you
recall the most famous photographs of each? They answer that
query. In World War 11, it was of the U. S. Marines raising Old
Glory on Iwo Jima. In Vietnam, it was of Gen. Loan shooting
dead to the head of a nameless prisoner.
RAPID REPLY: Yes, Mrs. T., a whale’s cruising speed is about
four miles an hour.

Some news
and views
• As Griffin voted in its city election to
day, we kept thinking of this from the Col
umbia, Mo., Tribune, "There is more to
doing city business than tending the sewers
and streets. Helping create human under
standing may be the largest responsibility
of all." Indeed it may. The winner, whoever
he may be, and the other two members of
the City Commission will face a smorgas
bord of problems, among which will be fin
ance, the prospect of rapid growth and
change, retirement of the experienced city
manager, and human understanding, hu
man understanding, human understand
ing.
• The National Safety Council says that
Saturday is the most dangerous day (and
night) of the week to drive a car. Sunday is
second and Friday third. We should drive
carefully every day with particular caution
as a precaution on weekends.
• Butts County-Jackson put together
another winning combination of efforts
and won its division of the Stay and See
Georgia Contest which the State Chamber
of Commerce sponsors each year. As their
neighbors, we in Spalding-Griffin congrat
ulate them. Also we might "go and look"
at their "stay and see" efforts. Here are
some of the things they did, and in doing
them they made their community even
more attractive to homefolks as well as to
tourists: established a permanent tourist
information center, encouraged "public
contact" employes to welcome visitors, held
regular "arrests" of out-of-state couples
with courtesies, and developed brochures.
Those primarily are for tourists. These ad
ditional undertakings are basic strong
points for a good community, whether it is
appealing to tourists or just trying to be a
better place to live: cleanup campaign in
volving young people, successful efforts to
keep young and active men in the commun
ity, "home of the week" contest and "street
of the week" contest. Again we congrat
ulate our neighbors. Their winning ways
are not accidental.
• The State of Georgia's revenue collec
tions rose 15.2 percent in the first quarter
of the fiscal year over the previous year.
(That's July, August and September.)
Collections in September rose 14 percent.
Continuous increases will not last forever,
but it is good news for the taxpayer when
they do occur without tax hikes.

MY
ANSWER
Taking Cross
Please explain what “Taking
up the cross’’ means to most
Christians. G.C.
I believe that “taking up the
cross” means something dif
ferent than many people inter
pret it.
The “Cross” in Jesus’ day
was a reproach, a disgrace. It
was a wooden beam upon which
enemies of society were
punished and killed. There was
nothing romantic or attractive
about it. Jesus said: “If any
man would come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me.”
Paul said that the cross was
“to the Jews a stumbling block,
and to the Greeks, foolishness.”
In other words, to “take up our
cross” is still not an act for
which we are applauded by the
world. It still has its reproach;
it still has its pain; it still has its
unpopularity.
But the follower of Christ
takes the long view, the sensible
view of life. He well knows that
there is not reward without
responsibility; no health
without suffering, and no crown
without a cross. So he takes up
His cross, not just in duty, but in
love, and carries it with his
Savior.
Bearing the cross means that
we go back into the world ready
to bear whatever reproach
there may be for being a
Christian. Sometimes it means
death!
WORLD ALMANAC
FACTS
ww
The imposing beauty of
New Hamp sh i r e’s Mt.
Washington has proven a
stern test for mountain
climbers for over three cen
turies. The World Almanac
says the mountain’s first
conqueror was Darby
Fields, who climbed the
peak in 1642. Thousands
more have duplicated the
feat since then, despite the
hardships of snow, cold and
wind which has been re
corded up to a velocity of
231 miles per hour—the
strongest ever measured on
earth.
