"BRIDGING- THE CHASM
ANOTHER statistical study out of Scotland purports to
prove the average I.Q. among twins is five points lower than
the average I.Q. among other youngsters.... ALMOST
NINE out of 10 commercial freight trucks get there on time,
wherever “there” may be. But almost seven out of 10
railroad boxcars don’t. . . WEDDING BELLS or no, June is
usually that month of the year when the fewest babies are
conceived nationwide, tli'ei science boys say.
IN SWEDEN, if an impoverished young fellow and his
girlfriend decide to live together but don’t want to get
married, the Swedish government will underwrite a loan for
them to buy furniture. Cohabitation qualifies. Incidentally,
the Swedish government also will underwrite the
considerable medical expense of the liquor drinker who goes
to the hospital to shake it out.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “Are there any real dinosaur
footprints left in the United States?” A. Only in Glen Rose,
Texas, I’m told .... Q. “What’s octopush?” A. That’s
underwater hockey. Divers play it. With a lead puck. At the
bottoms of swimming pools.
THE TV CRITIC; Used to think Chill Wills was a type,
No more. If he isn’t the most sensitive powerful character
actor in the business, who is? ... Sure am sick of shows
wherein some helpless drug addict tears at the veins of
society, Army hospitals and everybody’s father .... LOOK,
if I can’t surreptitiously step out some night with Diana
Mulduar, then I’m not going to play around at a11.... How
do you explain the fact that Brinkley was swifter than
Huntley, but is not as swift without him? . .Erne fellow,
Mr. Robert Young alias Marcus Welby, M.D. But all those
house calls look like a 1ie.... If Eleanor Parker is in it,
some small part of it has just got to be beautiful.... Do
you get the feeling Raymond Burr would make an excellent
dictator in some small Central American nation? ... More
than anybody else, Walter Cronkite wears about as well as
honest leather, does he not?
FIRST THING any woman worried about overweight
ought to do is fix her hair. That was the contention of
beauty specialist John Robert Powers “Disarray of the
hair,” he said “always tends to make a woman appear
fatter.”... SO YOU ENVY those professional golfers who
rarely lose their golf balls in the rough, in the woods, in the
water? You ought not, The average touring pro so disposes
of about 700 golf balls a year, it’s said.

The bond election
The bond election has been so thoroughly
debated that little remains to be said
before voters go to the polls tomorrow.
Those who support the bonds have
presented their arguments vigorously and
are sincere in their belief that a vote of
“yes” will benefit the community.
Opponents also have been vigorous and we
have never questioned their sincerity.
It is right and proper that both sides be
presented, and they have been. While it did
sometimes seem that the heat and smoke
of debate might obscure the central fire of
the issue, it never really did.
Boiled down to its essential, the matter
simply is this: are the taxpayers of
Spalding County willing to pay the price
for a junior college? Proponents say that
benefits outweigh the cost. Opponents say
that the costs outweigh the benefits.
Over a generation ago the Griffin Daily
News said that in its opinion the young
people’s need for a college education
outweighs the cost to the taxpayers of a
bond issue. We still think so and strongly
recommend a vote of “yes”. It will be a
vote for progress.
LET'S TALK
Meditation eases
pressures of living
By Rev. LEE TRUMAN
Copley News Service
Living with tension or pres
sure is dangerous to both physi
cal and mental health. Yet a
majority of America lives this
way.
The intense pitch goes so far
that most Americans can think
of only two ways to use the off
job time that we have: Either it
is work or it is play. Whichever
we do, we do it intensely, com
petitively or compulsively.
It rarely occurs to any of us
that life need not be like this
and that another proper and
valuable use for time is worth
considering.
It is a valuable process which
can be used in everyday life
and it comes to us in moments
which ask for an alternative to
either more hard work or com
petitive play. The third alter
native to work or play is medi
tation.
We see someone sitting quiet
ly in a park, neither reading a
newspaper nor watching the
squirrels; nor is there anyone
to talk to and we feel sorry for
him. He is just sitting and doing
nothing.
We could think at first that he
is waiting for someone or we
might feel a bit self-conscious
for him because of his certain
boredom. The possibility is he
could be recharging his emo
tional batteries by meditation.
It is done so seldom by so few
that we are not aware that such
a person may be engaged in
something delightful and very
important to mental health. He
allows his mind to wonder and
to wander as it wonders.
How is this done?
In the easiest terms it is to
disconnect oneself entirely
from what is immediately
around and spread those inner,
'you would Peducf—- u^iLAre WiLy / z
Jp
God-given wings, insight,
dreams and hopes.
You can use the Bible’s an
cient or contemporary devo
tional classics, poems or a sun
set as a springboard.
It not only gives rest but it re
energizes our inner energy and
it helps us keep a balanced
overview. I am sure that it is a
prime source of internal emo
tional and spiritual develop
ment.
There is no secret or special
technique to learn this skill. It
is a matter of learning to turn
loose the tense, tight strings
that hold our minds and allow it
to wander in peace beyond the
practical things around us.
You might look at it as letting
one’s thoughts take a vacation
and leaving the minor hum
drum things behind. Seek and
explore those things which
automatically fill our minds
when we hear great music or
stand at the crest of a magnifi
cent mountain. The experience
of wonder with expectancy is
meditation.
Do not seek or expect any
physical setting to bring this
about other than some place
which is reasonably com
fortable. Surroundings are un
important.
But even a person of the cali
ber of the great psychologist
William James often told his
philosophy students to attend
chapel. His point and purpose
was to have the practice of go
ing to a quiet place which was
suggestive of reflective thought
and would help to get perspec
tive and depth.
One example he used to illus
trate what meditation did for
him was that life for him was
like a person who was being
shoved about in a crowd, so he
climbs up a nearby doorstep
and looks over the heads of the
people, sees what the crowd as
a whole is doing and then de
scends again into the push and
shove, going in his right inner
direction.
Meditation raises us above
the small and the petty so that
we can see things which are
important and note those things
which will last.
To begin the process, one
needs to take that single foot
step in the right direction. It
should be the effort to move the
mind along an outward and up
ward path to the universal and
the impersonal rather than
downward and inward toward
the specific and egocentric.
It may be that the mind
grows tired of the practical and
grows weary of the specific and
that is why our thinking pro
cesses can leave the now with
ease. The best way is to use
short thoughts and short
periods of concentration on the
abstract.
Consider the nature of what
is beautiful, the meaning of
truth, the destiny of man, the
spirit of courage or the under
standing that today is one day
of eternity and relax as you do
so.
You might take a quotation, a
verse of the Bible in a new
translation or a proverb and
turn it over and over in your
mind until you begin to draw
from it the kind of insight that
does not come with the quick
glance and passing on.
In difficult situations, when
you are harassed by pressure
or pushed by stress, there is no
more reliable method for at
taining a calm outside and in
side than by the deepest kind of
meditation there is — and that
is prayer.
Be different and try the third
alternative for the use of your
free time — meditation.

mankind. There is never a
burden that He does not carry,
and never a heartache that He
does not share. Peter said,
“Casting all your care on him,
for he careth for you.”
Christians have found this true
down through the centuries. The
greatest fact in the universe is:
God cares for the individual; He
cares for you.
Regarding your second
question: according to the Bible
life is not an endless void. Jesus
spoke of an everlasting kingdom
He said: “Take no thought for
your life, what ye shall eat, ar
what ye shall drink; nor yet for
your body, what ye shall put on.
Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment. .
.Seek ye first the kingdom of
God and his righteousness and
all these things shall be added
unto you.” Matt. 6:25-33.
His is a spiritual kingdom. He
challenges us to build, not an
estate, but a life—based upon
eternal values, and this eternal
quality of life is bestowed upon
us by Him. He said, “I am come
that they might have life, and
that they might have it more
abundantly.”
