PUT A SHOT of vanilla into a gallon of interior paint and
it’ll dispel the smell. Put a shot of camphor into exterior
paint and it’ll dispell the gnats. When I reported that, a
curious client asked, “What will a shot of bourbon do to a
gallon of paint?” It tends to overcome the viscosity of the
pigment, thus ease the brushwork. But it can create gaps,
texture differences, other imperfections, unless precisely
measured. You do not put it in the paint, naturally. You put
it in the painter.

: They do. Toads don’t, though . ... Q. “Exactly how many
drops in a quart of milk?" A. Thought everybody knew that.

« blondes blush easier than brunettes, right?” A. Such has long
been the claim. All I know is a girl is most apt to blush in
anger, a man in embarrassment.... Q. “At the track, how
often does the favorite horse win?” A. About 35 per cent of
the time.
; A FAIRLY status-conscious bunch, convicts. In that
dangerous society of the penitentiary, the rapist regards the
child molester as a twirp. The robber thinks the burglar is an
' unintestinal nothing. The dope pusher classifies the arsonist
' as a mental case. And the confidence man considers the
extortionist a fool. As for the murderer, he’s apt to be set
apart. Sometimes because he’s a deadlier sort of calculating
criminal. But more often because he’s not. Most murderers
are straight working men who came unravelled in a single
instance of drunken temper.
NO, TWO CAN’T live as cheaply as one, only as cheaply

YOU account for the fact the suicide rate among college

snake soup, mmml, is the equivalent of about 10 cents.
IF YOU’RE FOND of bananas, it’s likely mosquitoes will

eaters. And mosquitoes go for it, zip!

Another ‘killer strip’?
An editorial in the Thomaston Free
Press calls attention to the fact that
Disney Land East is nearing completion at
Orlando, Florida.
“There are forecasts,” itsays, “that this
traffic (millions seeking family-type
entertainment at Disney Land) will
literally clog the 1-75 expressway and turn
it into something resembling those
dreaded freeways in California. With the
inter-state clogged, we believe the family
tourists will turn to secondary roads. And
that means U.S. Highway 19 among others.
By mid-winter we sincerely believe that
the effect of Disney Land will be felt in
Thomaston and Upson County with
stepped up tourist activity.”
If it is felt in Thomaston and Upson, then
it will be felt also in Griffin and Spalding
because Highway 19 connects our two
towns. Tourists and others can travel the
by-pass then get on Highway 19 and travel
Safety Is Economical
Insurance costs, like everything else, keep going up.
Eut there's a happy exception in at least one field of in
surance: Workmen’s compensation is providing a better
return on the premium dollar than ever before.
According to the Journal of Insurance, workmen’s
compensation benefits on a countrywide basis have risen
more than 100 per cent over a 30-year period while rate
levels have increased only 16.6 per cent. ’
The reason is that loss-producing accidents experienced
by covered firms have dropped by almost half during
the period. This in turn is attributed to safety engineer
ing services provided by insurers, plus the incentive of
individual premium reductions tied to company safety
records.

The U.S. Supreme Court has struck another blow for
law and order or against human liberty, however you
wish to look at it.
In a five-to-four decision, the court overruled the Cali
fornia Supreme Court and upheld that state’s law (and
similar laws in every other state) requiring a driver to
leave his name and address at the scene of an accident.
The case concerned a Californian who was involved in
an auto accident in 1966, who fled the scene, was later
arrested and who based his defense on the contention
that to have stopped and identified himself would have
violated his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrim
ination.
Writing the majority opinion, Chief’Justice Warren E.
Burger held that there is no more constitutional right to
flee the scene of an accident to avoid the possibility of
legal involvement than there is a right to refuse to file
an income tax return because of the possibility of legal
involvement with the Internal Revenue Service.
“Disclosure of name and address is an essentially
neutral act,” he wrote. “. . . A name, linked to a motor
vehicle, is no more incriminating than the tax return,
linked with the disclosure of income ... It identifies but
does not by itself implicate anyone in criminal conduct.”
Dissenting from the opinion, Associate Justice William
J. Brennan argued that, by this reasoning, “a statute
which required all robbers to stop and leave their names
and addresses with their victims” would not mean they
were giving compulsory evidence against themselves.
Robbers, and others, however, have been known to
leave something just as good as a name and address. It
may be a fingerprint, or in another case, a chip of paint
from a fender.
There is no law, of course, compelling anyone to leave
evidence. Yet it hardly seems fair that one man is con
victed on the basis of evidence he leaves at the scene
of a crime while another gets off scot-free because he is
smart enough or lucky enough not leave any evidence.
Self-incrimination by inadvertence is surely as incom
patible with American ideals of justice as self-incrimina
tion by compulsion.
This is rather silly, but no more so than Justice Bren
nan's argument, and much less so than Justice Hugo
Black’s declaration that the Burger opinion “would prac
tically wipe out the Fifth Amendment’s protection against
self-incrimination. ”
Be that as it may, innocent parties in automobile ac
cidents can solace themselves with the knowledge that
the guy who hits them and runs away does not—at least
for now—have the blessing of the world’s most august
tribunal.

south to Zebulon, Thomaston, Butler,
Americus, and so on down the road.
There are two big problems, though.
First, traveling south they will have to get
off the four-lane by-pass and onto the two
lane Highway 19. This is a very dangerous
intersection which will not be safe, in our
opinion, until it is bridged. Those who do
survive this peril will find themselves on a
relatively narrow two-lane stretch which
will be frustrating after the four-lanes they
have traversed. Increased use will make
matters worse than they already are.
The State Highway Department has
announced plans to construct about two
miles of four-lane from Thomaston south
along Highway 19. This will help,
particularly Thomaston, and we are glad.
But it will not be nearly enough.
If the traffic becomes anywhere as
heavy as expected, we are very apt to have
another “killer strip” in our neighborhood.

do not belong to you. Although
few of us have been guilty of
thievery, most of us have
broken the commandment,
“Thou shalt not steal.”
Almost every sin is bound up
with stealing, and this
loathsome sin can be seen in
just about every one of the Ten
Commandments. When we
make “unto ourselves graven
images,” we rob God of the
reverence and respect which is
due Him. When we bear false
witness we steal from our
neighbor the dignity that is his.
When we break the Sabbath we
steal precious hours that belong
to God alone. When we commit
adultery, we pilfer the love and
affection that belongs to
another. Even when we use
God’s name in vain, we rob Him
of the praise and glory that
should be His.
When we fail to live fully
committee Christian lives, we
are robbing God of the most
precious thing in the world: a
life surrendered to Him. In a
thousand ways we have all
stolen, and the Bible exhorts,
“Let him who stole, steal no
more.” God blesses the honest,
upright man, and His blessing
cannot be upon us if we rob Him
of His glory, and of the honor He
merits.
