LOVE AND WAR - Among the pirates on the sea of
matrimony, women outnumber the men considerably. Or so
says our Love and War Man By pirates, he refers to those
citizens who break up other people’s marriages Most men tend
to keep a hands-off policy towards seemingly happy marriages.
But most women, if they pirate at all, are inclined to regard a
seemingly happy marriage as a challenge That one philosophy
common to female predators is the belief that a marriage that
can be broken up isn’t worth preserving.

QUOTES
I don’t think many guys
are all that much for the
war. Who is? I’m not. But
have you got to scream filth
and make faces at God just
to show how you feel? If
those kids (antiwar demon
strators) want to be against
the war, it’s O.K. by me. I
might even agree with them.
But when they spit on the
flag and call the President a
pig, that’s where I get off.
—Pete Galeno, New York
construction worker.
The hurling of either
rocks or epithets is scarcely
an alternative to the ra
tional thinking process. The
country is actually in danger
of embroilment and perhaps
even breakup unless calm
ness and reason can be made
to prevail among old and
young.
—Dr. Norman Vincent
Peale. president of the Re
formed Church in Amer
ica.
It’s gratifying to see the
keen interest and involve
ment of youngsters in our
country today. This is their
country today and tomorrow
and the same excitement
and energies, if they were
used to unite our country,
would end this turmoil.
—Gen. Omar N. Bradley, at
the dedication of the
Bradley Museum at the
Army War College.
Taking repressive meas
ures against a social move
ment is like a kite against
the wind; the stronger the
wind, the higher the kite.
—Malcolm C. Moos, presi-
dent of the University of
Minnesota, to President
Nixon on campus unrest.

The moon is between its full
phase and last quarter.
The morning stars are
Mercury and Saturn.
The evening stars are Venus,

On this day in history:
In 1787 delegates of the
American Constitutional Con

session at Independence Hall in
Philadelphia.
In 1935 Babe Ruth hit his
714th and final home run with
the Boston Braves at Pit

sincere; before him I may
think aloud.”

Peaceful
The so called “march against repression” came to Griffin
during the weekend. There was not the first bit of trouble. It
was to the credit of the citizens of this community, both black
and white, and to its level headed and well trained law en
forcement officers that such was the case.
The marchers gave the city plenty of advance notice that
they would come here, hold a rally, spend Friday night here,
and continue on their way to Atlanta Saturday morning.
Community officials cooperated to the fullest. March lead
ers responded in a like manner.
Individual citizens responded by maintaining a peaceful
atmosphere during the marchers’ stay.
Hosea Williams, SCLC vice president who spoke to the
rally in Griffin, told a Griffin police captain, “We appreciate
your cooperation.” The officer responded, “We appreciate
yours, too.”
It was such an attitude which prevailed here that made
possible the peaceful weekend. May it ever be so.
Time now to halt
school vandalism
With nothing better to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon,
two boys, 12 and 14, forced open a door to a new elemen
tary school in a large eastern city. By the time they were
apprehended, they had done SIOO,OOO worth of damage,
ransacking desks, smashing aquariums, demolishing dozens
of expensive teaching aids, including a closed-circuit tele
vision camera.
In some large cities, the cost of school vandalism runs
into the millions every year and is growing. But the plague
strikes small cities as well, and all neighborhoods, rich or
poor, black or white.
More than half of all school fires are the direct conse
quence of vandalism and, according to the FBI, of 100,000
recent arrests of vandals, 77 per cent were juveniles under
18, most of them 12- and 13-year-olds. Cleveland, Ohio,
which reported 8,731 vandalism incidents in 1968-69 costing
$680,776, has lost one school a year to arsonists for the past
three years.
Nationwide, the U.S. Office of Education estimates that
damage by vandals to public schools may run as high as
SIOO million annually—every dollar of which is a dollar
which cannot be spent on improving education.
Citing these figures, the American Insurance Association,
representing the property-casualty insurance industry, has
called for a broad-based attack on the problem—“a care
fully organized and concerted drive, a broad assault on this
costly mischief and tremendous economic waste.”
The association stresses a program of improved security,
neighborhood co-operation and vigorous prosecution of
offenders in a booklet, “School Vandalism.”
Among its recommendations for minimizing vandalism
are obtaining community and student assistance, using
policemen and watchmen more effectively and reducing
the possibility of glass breakage by such means as install
ing bars and screens or building schools with no windows
facing the outside world. The booklet also describes a wide
range of available detection systems and protective devices.
There is no single answer to the problem, either as to its
cause or its cure, but improved security, declares the
organization, is the most effective over-all answer in pre
vention or alleviation of vandalism and arson.
It has been traditional among generations of school kids
to regard school as “prison.” Thanks to a small minority
of them, and those parents who don’t know or don’t care
what their children do, the schools are turning into just
that—maximum security institutions.

"But if I have to complete the semester via a correspon
dence course, does that mean I’ll have to demonstrate
at HOME?"
MY
ANSWER
Justified
. .When I was in my teens I quit
Sunday School and ignored
everything I was taught there.
Am now in my fifties, been
divorced twice and my children
ignore me. My life is empty and
meaningless. How can such a
life be justified? B.P.
Your sad sotry reminds me of
the little girl who lost her birth
certificate on the way to school,
and she sobbed to her teacher:
“I’ve lost my excuse for being
bom.” Many people have never
discovered their reason for
living. Some time ago a suc
cessful business man said to
me: “Why does a man like you,
who could be successful in busi
ness or politics, spend his time
preaching the Gospel to
people?” I told him I did it be
cause Christ called me to bring
the Good News to the millions
who have nothing but bad news.
There are so many purposeless,
empty people in the world, and I
know that faith in Christ can fill
the void of those vacuous
hearts.
Your story dramatizes the
fruitlessness of a life lived
without Christ, without faith,
without peace, without joy,
and without purpose. How can
such a life be justified? It can’t
be: it is tragic. But it is not too
late for your life to be changed.
In fact, you have reached the
first plateau: the realization
that it needs changing. God is
placing His hand on your
shoulder, saying, “Come unto
me...and I will give you rest.”
If I were you, I’d listen and
heed.

“A public office is a
public trust” is attributed
to President Grover Cleve
land. The World Almanac
notes the phrase was orig
inated by Sen. Charles
Sumner in a speech, May
31, 1872, and was later
adopted as Cleveland’s
presidential campaign slo
gan. In his inaugural ad
dress, March 4, 1885. Cleve
land exclaimed, “Your
every voter, as surely as
your chief magistrate,
exercises a public trust.”
