MEASUREMENTS -- That those old boys who manufacture
ladies’ garments come up some some fascinating facts about
feminine figures has already been mentioned. For instance,
their nationwide sales records are said to indicate girls in the
Southwest have the largest bustlines, girls in the Central States
have the broadest hips, girls in the Deep South have the
smallest waists, girls on the Atlantic Seaboard have the littlest
feet, and girls along the Pacific Coast have the best
proportioned figures overall It is also understood that
Carolina girls have the best-looking legs, but the garment
makers didn’t report that. It’s just common knowledge.
OPEN QUESTION -- During which Rose Bowl game was it
that a quick kick deflated the football?
THERE ARE just about as many Americans over the age of
65 as Americans under the age of 5.... IF YOU’RE
EXACTLY 10 pounds overweight, you carry an extra six miles
of blood vessels. . . . THE FIRST DAY of May and Christmas
day in any given year always fall on the same day of the
week.... AM STILL SEARCHING for some significance in
the fact that man is the only animal with a jutting
chin. ... THAT CITIZEN most apt to live longest is the
female New Zealander. Shortest, the male Egyptian.
UNSPOKEN POLICY - It is the practice of numerous
newspaper editors to print photographs of any local boys
charged as morals offenders. Burglars, no. Robbers, not
necessarily. Murderers, maybe. But the carnal oddballs,
definitely. Why? To run them out of town with publicity. In
the belief they can’t be rehabilitated. Nobody talks much
about it. It is an unspoken policy. Now wait, these editors are
not naive sanctimonious souls shaken in their shoes by the
aberrations. Mostly, it’s only they love their own towns.
Mostly, it’s just they don’t much care what the deviates do so
long as they do it someplace else.
CUSTOMER SERVICE - Q. “Who said, ‘True peace can
only exist when the power of love exceeds the love of
power’?” A. Now there you have me, but it’s a nifty sweet
little thing for the cradle days. Will check it out. ... Q. IS IT
REASONABLE to expect a man to stay romantic up to the
age of 90?” A. Must be. The science boys down at Duke
University studied the private lives of 250 gentlemen, aged 65
to 93, and concluded amorous elders are numerous. ... Q.
“WHERE DOES the morning sun, if any, first fall upon the
United States?” A. Atop Mt. Cadillac in Maine, I’m told.
RAPID REPLY - True, Mrs. T., Helen Keller was not only
blind and deaf, but had no sense of smell.

JERUSALEM-Foreign Mi
nister Abba Eban, commenting
on the lack of progress in Big
Four efforts to achieve peace in
the Middle East:
“After nearly a year, there
has not been any positive
movement. Surely the best
thing now is to try another
direction.”
CHICAGO - Under secretary
of State Elliot L. Richardson,
discounting the value of a U.S.
pullout from Europe:
“If. . .all our current forces
in Europe were brought home
and stationed in this country,
little or no savings would
appear in our defense budget.
We might even have to spend a
bit more.”
NEW YORK—Cassius Clay,
shocked at his “defeat” by the
late Rocky Marciano in a
simulated fight programmed by
computer.
“I’ll never fight again. .
.They're destroying my image.
That computer was made in

WASHINGTON—Liz Carpen

“I tried to be a good member

Almanac
For
Today
By United Press International
Today is Thursday Jan. 22,
the 22nd day of 1970 with 343 to
follow.
The moon is full.
The morning stars are
Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter.
The evening stars are Mars
and Saturn.
On this day in history:
In 1789 the first American
novel, “The Power of Sym
pathy,” by Sarah Morton, was
published in Boston.
In 1952 former Secretary of
War Robert Patterson was
killed when an airliner crashed
into a row of apartment houses
in Elizabeth, N.J.
In 1963 French President
Charles de Gaulle and West
German Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer signed a treaty
pledging cooperation in foreign
policy, defense and cultural
affairs.
In 1968 Communist North
Korea seized the U.S. intel
ligence ship Pueblo in the Sea
of Japan and took 83 crewmen
captive. One man was killeo in
the seizure and the rest were
held prisoner for eleven
months. The ship was not
returned.
A thought for the day: British
scientist Havelock Ellis said,
“A man must not swallow more
beliefs than he can digest.”

I was like a beast toward

A blow against
stream pollution
If other industries in the state followed
the lead of Dundee Mills, pollution prob
lems could be licked.
The Griffin textile mill announced plans
to build a half million dollar pollution con
trol plant. It will be constructed near the
Lowell Bleachery, South, and serve that as
well as Dundee Mill Number One.
Dundee hopes the plant will be in opera
tion by October.
It should reduce the pollution in Cabin
Creek, Dundee officials pointed out. Offi
cials of the Griffin mill said that the prob
lem had been under study several years but
that methods of control had to be studied
to decide which would be best here.
Installation of the facility will be a big
step in controlling a problem that has
boomed into state wide concern.
The city of Griffin now needs to move
ahead with its new sewage disposal plant
construction so it, too, will quit polluting a
stream in the southwest section of the coun
ty-
Man's Environment-
Save It Now or Else
Another old saying stands in need of revision. It is be
coming increasingly evident that “everybody” is not
merely talking about the weather. Wittingly or unwittingly,
we ARE doing something about it —and what we are doing
is for the most part alarming.
According to the Wall Street Journal, meteorologists have
established a definite correlation between production in
the big steel mills in Gary, Ind., with rainfall in LaPorte,
30 miles downwind. The correlation is so precise that when
steel output goes up in Gary, rain, triggered by smoke
from the mills, comes down in LaPorte.
Between 1946 and 1967, LaPorte averaged 19 inches more
precipitation than did stations upwind of the mills. A
similar effect has been noted in Belleville, 111., 10 miles
downwind of St. Louis.
The National Pollution Control Administration predicts
eventual death for 750,000 trees on six nurseries near Oak
land, Md., because of sulphur dioxide fumes from nearby
power plants and a paper mill.
On the West Coast, the U.S. Forest Service reports that
automobile exhaust pollution from Los Angeles is slowly
killing 1.2 million trees in the San Bernadino National
Forest. The death of so many trees could have profound
and unpredictable effects on climate.
It was not by chance that President Nixon’s first official
act in the new decade was to establish a three-member
White House Council on Environmental Quality.
It is literally now or never” for the nation to reclaim
the purity of its air, its waters and its living environment
said the President as he signed the legislation.
The accumulating evidence suggests he was not guilty of
exaggeration.

Choose Life
Can you please tell me how to
get more out of life? I am a
young man and would ap
preciate any advice you can
give me. P. N.
I’ll pass on to you the advice
that was given to me many
years ago. It is from an old Book
called the Bible. “Choose life...
that thou mayest love the Lord
thy God, and that thou mayest
obey his voice. . . for he is thy
life, and the length of thy days.”
Deut. 30:19-20.
There is a life-giving force in
the world. If you allow habits
and attitudes to come into your
lives to cut us off from God, the
Life-force, life goes sour. That
is the reason people are bored,
filled with anxiety, and miser
able. They are not in tune with
God.
Even physicians are advising
people to go to church, for they
are aware that people need
more than pills to find this life
giving force. Carl Jung, the
psychiatrist, pioneered in the
idea that Faith is essential to
mental and physical healing.
Choose life. Make up your
mind to live for and with God.
Christ said: “I am come that ye
might have life and that ye
might have it more abundant
ly.’
WORLD ALMANAC
FACTS
The emission of light
from a living organism is
called bioluminescence.
The firefly is the best
known bioluminescent
organism, while certain
varieties of deep-sea fish,
bacteria and mushrooms
also feature this luminous
quality. The firefly’s light
acts as a means to attract
members of the opposite
sex, The World Almanac
says. Enzymes called luci
ferases produce this “cold
light.”
