FOOTBALL is said to be 26 times more dangerous than
basketball and 130 times more dangerous than
boxing. .. . “NEXT TO CITY EDITORS,” noted the late
Cedric Adams, “birds have the highest body temperatures of
any creature.” . . . THAT OBESE PEOPLE rarely, but rarely
commit suicide is a fact, and an odd fact, is it not?
OPEN QUESTION - Why does a cucumber tend to remain
always about 1 degree F. cooler than the air around it?
NAMES - The seven feminine names most disliked by the
ladies nationwide are Rose, Hazel, Ethel, Mabie, Gertrude,
Myrtle and Pearl. The four male names most disliked by the
gentlemen are Albert, Harry, Frank and Henry. Or so reports a
pollster who queried the people.
A SPOKESMAN for the bra industry contends the North is
far superior to the South as a market for that article of
feminine apparel known as the falsie. . . WHY ARIES GIRLS
tend to be most romantic in the morning is another curiosity
our Planet man cannot explain, he admits . SUSPECT the
trickiest law to turn up in some time is that piece of
Yugoslavian legislation that makes it illegal there for Halley’s
Comet to pass over Belgrade.
CUSTOMER SERVICE - Q. “Who said, ‘He who hesitates is
lost’?” A. Now there you have me. Used to be attributed to
Addison, but he didn’t say that. What Addison said was, “The
womam who deliberates is lost.” How true! As our Love and
War man so frequently has stated, “When a girl says she wants
to think it over, she has already decided to say yes.” Q
“WHAT STATE’S LAND is worth the most per acre on the
average?” A. That would be New Jersey.
PLEASE NOTE - To the myths about that fancy fellow
known as Beau Brummel, add the claim he occasionally tossed
the yolks of 100 hens’ eggs into his bathwater. What, you’re
not interested in such hogwash? Don’t blame you. But please
bear in mind, it is not an easy thing to find exactly what it is
you would like to read up on Been thinking of doing an item
on premarital sex, but I don’t know enough about it.
THE PASSING OF GREAT MEN - At a holiday party, we
were recalling the deaths of public figures and how the people
cried John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert, Winston
Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was tasteless to conjecture
over whose death brought on the most tears nationwide, but
we did it anyway, being middle-aged and cynical at a graceless
hour. Then somebody mentioned Will Rogers, and everybody
stopped talking, they just shut up, because that was too
personal

Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today is Monday Jan. 12, the
12th day of 1970 with 353 to
follow.
The moon is new.
The morning stars are Venus
and Jupiter.
The evening stars are Mercu
ry, Mars and Saturn.
On this day in history:
In 1865 Confederate President
Jefferson Davis met with an
emissary of President Lincoln
at Richmond, Va., to discuss
Civil War peace terms.
In 1932 Mrs. Hattie Caraway,
widow of an Arkansas congress
man, became the first woman
ever elected to the United
States Senate.
In 1943 the Office of Price
Administration ordered frank
furters to be replaced by
“victory sausage,” a combina
tion of meat and soybean meal.
In 1968 Gov. George Romney
of Michigan opened his New
Hampshire primary campaign
against Richard Nixon. Romney
later withdrew from the pres
idential race.
A thought for the day:
Norman MacLeod said, “Cou
rage, brother do not stumble
though the path be dark as
night. There’s a star to guide
the humble, trust in God and do
the right.”

Table salt is one of man’s
most important condiments.
Salt is a combination of the
elements sodium and chlor
ine. The World Almanac
notes that both of these ele
ments can be fatal to man
when found in their free
state. Sodium is a metallic
substance that reacts ex
plosively when immersed
in water; chlorine is a gas
that will cause suffocation
when large concentrations
are inhaled.

Kennedy is unfit for president
• The Kennedy Family whipped across
the skies of America and of the world like
a spectacular comet trailing fire behind.
And like comets, the Kennedys have just
about burnt themselves out. Who is to say
how great the late President would have
been had he lived? Or the late Senator who
served as his brother's Attorney General?
We do not know, but they are gone, and the
former First Lady of the United State is the
wife of a Greek billionaire. There is but
one of the family left of age to eye the
presidency with family hunger. And he,
Senator Ted, is the central figure in a tragic
hearing into the death of a young woman
left to drown.
There are numerous things which need to
be cleared up, aired out in public. But no,
the inquest in Massachusetts was secret.
This we deplore. The people of the nation
surely are entitled to the truth in this mat
ter. It is no reflection upon the dead for us
to say that whatever the outcome of the in
quest, Senator Ted Kennedy has proven
himself to be totally unfit for President of
the U. S. A.

MY
ANSWER ,41
Are Movies Better?
Preachers used to preach that
it was a sin to go to the movies.
Have the movies gotten better,
or have people gotten worse? I
would appreciate your com
ment on this. S.T.
Perhaps the television, with
its many movies, has had an
effect upon our attitude toward
films. Many peopl° who would
never go to a “movie” watch
films regularly in their homes
via television.
Probaby because of TV
competition the film industry
has had to “bid for business”
with some sensational films. A
recent scanning of the amuse
ment page reveals such titles
as: “Savages from Hell”,
“Rosemary’s Baby” (the story
of how Satan seduces a girl, and
has her mother his child), and
“How to Save a Marriage and
Ruin Your Life.” Most of the re
cent films cater to “Adult Au
diences”, and this always in- ,
dicates a certain element of
smut. I think that some of the
film offered to the public is not
only in bad taste, it is downright
sinful, and should be snubbed by
Christians.
Jenkin Lloyd Jones, publisher
of the Tulsa Tribune, is known
for his hard-hitting editorials,
and addresses. Recently he
said: “I think it is time that the
proprietors of the press, the
lords of television, the moguls of
the screen, and the producer of
plays looked upon the social
wreckage around them and
faced up to their own cul
pability.” To that I can say a
loud and enthusiastic “Amen!”
The Bible still teaches that
“worldliness” is a sin. It says:
“Love not the world, if any man
love the world the love of the
Father is not in him.” In my
judgment the vast majority of
films shown today would come
under the category of “worldli
ness.”
The movie industry is doing a
fairly good job of rating films -
so that parents can help guide
their children.

me of sin? If 1 tell the truth,
why do you not believe me?”
