THE OPERATOR - No, he didn’t pick up girls in bars. But
he never failed to find a Saturday night date, either. That,
despite the fact his traveling sales job put him into a different
town every weekend. Such is the claim of a gentleman
subscriber. “It was simple,” writes he. “I just went to the best
hotel in town on Saturday morning and asked the room clerk
where the big wedding reception was going to be that night.
Then after a day of golf, I’d show up, mingle with the guests,
drink champagne, and invariably go to the party afterwards,
either at the home of the groom’s parents or the bride’s. The
mgjor hotel in any fair-sized town has a society wedding every
weekend, did you know that? With two families involved,
nobody knows who invites who. A lot of single girls attend,
always. The bride sees to that. You meet a high-class type of
girl at these functions, but the day’s events seems to make
them a little desperate. In nine years on the road, I don’t recall
more than half a dozen lonely weekends.”
OPEN QUESTION - Why does a man leave the bottom
button on his vest undone?
THE COMPUTER BOYS report small loan companies turn
down just about half the applicants. .. . DON’T KNOW WHO
took the survey, but it was found the average teenage girl eats
nine times a day.... NO GREEK should forget that his
national anthem with 158 stanzas is the world’s longest.
CONSIDER THIS - Dishpan hands? Our Household Hints
specialist quotes a man of science. Chapped skin, he says, will
clear up almost overnight if you rinse your hands in a solution
of one part cider vinegar with eight parts water and just let
them dry.
CUSTOMER SERVICE - “Which is the better actor - John
Mclntire on ‘The Virginian’ or Leif Erickson on ‘High
Chaparral’?” A. Am not qualified to judge, must admit.
However, this might be noted - when Mclntire talks to a
crowd, he sounds like he’s talking to one person, while when
Erickson talks to one person, he sounds like he’s talking to a
crowd. What’s that signify? ... Q. “WHO SAYS THE THREE
most widely-recognized trademarks m the world are ‘Coke,’
’Singer’ and ‘B.V.D.’? I’m 18 and I’ve never even heard of a
B.V.D. I think ‘Kleenex’ ranks higher.” A. Suspect you’re
right. Will recheck.
TOASTMASTER - A Philadelphia girl, who says she has
just met The Man, asks our Toastmaster to suggest some
romantic verse she might appropriately deliver at a candlelight
supper with the lucky fellow. How about this? “Here’s to
one .. . and only one .. . and may that one be he ... who
loves but one ... and only one ... and may that one be me.”
Clink!

QUOTES
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—Dr. Ralph E.
Lapp, a nuclear physicist who
opposes the Nixon administra
tion’s proposal for expanding
the antiballistic missile (ABM)
system, explaining how the
United States’ “overkill” ar
maments capabilities are based
on “extreme assumptions” of
Russian military accuracy:
“The Defense Department
has concocted a mathematical
nightmare in theorizing that the
Soviets would fire SS9’s with
multiple warheads to annihilate
the U.S. Minuteman force. The
highest defense authorities have
specified that 420 SS9’s could
knock out 95 per cent of all our
1,000 landbased ICBM’s.”
BIRMINGHAM?AIa. - For
mer Gov. George C. Wallace,
telling 11,000 “concerned
parents” at a rally against
school desegregation court rul
ings that concerted political
action will restore “freedom of
choice” school districting:
“They may call us bigots and
rednecks, but I tell the
Republicans and Democrats
alike that it doesn’t matter
what color our neck is—you’re
going to get off it.”
NEW YORK—Patrolman Eu
gene Flood, who took a live
bomb found at the world
headquarters of the General
Electric Co. and carried it to a
special police bomb removal
truck, recounting his feelings
with a sigh:
“I was nervous, real ner

Let’s stop
kidding ourselves
Those who contend that there is no drug
abuse problem in Griffin and Spalding
County have only to look at the Superior
Court records of this term so far.
One man was fined and given a sentence
to serve on probation for having so-called
pep pills in his place of business.
Another, up before the court on auto
theft charges, candidly admitted to the
judge that he had tried LSD and other
drugs. Asked by the judge where he got the
drugs, he answered Atlanta.
The judge requested the man tell the
local law officers where he had secured the
narcotics in Atlanta.
In the face of this and other evidence,
some may still contend that drug abuse is
no problem here.
To do so is to ignore the facts.
The problem is not going to go away if it
is ignored.
It'll get bigger.
We need all of the drug abuse informa
tion we can get our hands on and we need
to stop kidding ourselves about the prob
lem.
Bottle Up Pollution,
Litter-ly
Oregon represents on a small scale the magnitude of the
problem facing the nation in reversing the pollution of its
air, water and landscape.
It is not the magnitude of the junk; it is the magnitude of
our indifference.
In the interim before the biennial state legislature meets
in 1971, a committee is studying proposals to ban no-return
bottles in the state and to require a five-cent deposit on
every beverage can and bottle.
“My commitment,” said Gov. Tom McCall recently, “is
to put a price on the head of every beer and pop can and
bottle sold in the U.S.”
But a similar measure in the 1969 Oregon Legislature
was defeated by the combined lobbies of bottle and can
manufacturers and bottling companies, who would have
the state rely solely on education and persuasion.
A slogan of the National Soft Drink Association is.
‘‘Hands alone cause litter,” reminiscent of the National
Rifle Association’s “Guns don’t kill people; people kill
people.”
In 1968, Oregonians emptied 210 million bottles and 112
million cans of beer, 18 million bottles of liquor, 12 million
bottles of wine and unknown millions of soft drink cans and
bottles. Also unknown was the number of cans and bottles
discarded in public places.
However, a clean-up of a one-mile stretch of popular
beach last summer yielded 750 50-gallon drums of litter, 80
per cent of it beer cans and soft drink bottles.
There is no assurance that a nickel deposit will stop
thoughtless people from messing up the environment, in
Oregon or anywhere else. But it is certain that no amount
of persuasion will ever do it.
The whole pollution problem boils down to this:
Do we really want to clean up America? Are we, private
citizen and industry alike, willing to pay what it will cost
—not only in terms of money but in terms of “conven
iences” we now take for granted, from throwaway bottles
on the local beach to throwaway sewage in the local river?
As of now, the answer is a resounding “No!”

“Now, fellas — how many of you know the score from
'Student Prince'?"
MY
ANSWER'-, Ji
AjLf
Born Again
I hear you speak often of the
new birth. I am sure that many
people cannot grasp such a con
cept, so can you give a plausible
illustration of this from real
life? It would help many people
if you could. P.B.
You make it sould as if the
New Birth is something I in
vented, and that it is up to me to
prove it. It was our Lord who
said, “Except a man be born
again he cannot enter the king
dom of God.” I have never tried
to prove it, I have just echoed
what our savior so emphatically
proclaimed.
However, having said that,
I will say that there are many
earthly illustrations of this
heavenly truth.
Cecile B. DeMille, whom I
knew quite well, was canoeing
one day on a lake . He looked in
the clear water and saw on the
sandy bottom hundreds of water
beetles. As he curiously wat
ched these little insects, he saw
one of the beetles float to the
surface and crawl up the side of
his canoe. Immediately its body
began to dry, and as he watched
it split open, there emerged a
winged creature -a multi
colored dragonfly, in striking
contrast to the drab bettie of a
few minutes before. It took to
the air, and its kinsmen in the
depths must have been
astounded at their air-borne
relative.
Once, when DeMille related
this story, he concluded with
this question: “Would the
Creator of the universe do that
for a water beetle, and not for a
human being?” I believe not.
Jesus said, “You must be born
again - or you will not get to
heaven.”
