WHAT FEW young ladies realize is the average pay of
secretaries is considerably higher than the average pay of
fashion models .... WHEN IRRITATED, the llama will stick
its tongue out at you, then even spit at you with awful
accuracy. The llama is naughty .... THE FIVE ESSENTIALS
of happiness, it’s generally conceded, are: health, liberty,
economic security, congenial work and reciprocated love. Are
you all right in these categories, sir?
IT’S A MOST unwise husband who mentions to his wife the
color of his secretary’s eyes. Our Love and War man cautions
the thoughtless husband about this. He says wives hold the.
impression a woman tends to remember the colors of
everybody’s eyes. But they believe a man only recalls the color
of his girlfriend’s eyes. This feminine belief is not altogether
erroneous.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. “How man RPMs can a lion
develop in a charge?” A. Maybe 50 mph.... Q. “How much
does Elvis Presley get?” A. How much what? Money? About
$5 million a year was the last report.... Q. “Hasn’t it been
proven men have a better sense of humor than women?” A. It
only has been proven men laugh louder and longer, that’s all.
.“YOUR LANGUAGE MAN errs,” writes Bill Totten. “The
word ‘blimp’ came from the British Air Service official
designation of the craft that was ‘Type B-limp’ as opposed to
the rigid airframe type. Furthermore, a blimp does not go
‘blimp’ when you flick it with your finger. It goes ‘thunk.’ Can
you imagine anyone saying, ‘Look, there’s a thunk flying
around up there?’ ”
IN EVERY home economics class, it’s said, there’s at least
one student who’s far superior to her teacher in
cooking.... EVEN AS YOU read these words, there are
about 1,800 thunderstorms going snap, crackle, pop
somewhere.... AND THE AIR you breathe daily weighs
about seven times as much as the food you eat, remember
that.
AM FREQUENTLY asked where I get all this profoundly
significant data. From specialists. Did you know there are
specialists in everything? Take birds’ nests. A small but
devoted scatter of scholars study nothing but. They call
themselves nidologists. Or how about the dactyliologists? They
study finger rings.
THAT YEAR in which a boy most swiftly goes through his
shoes, it 's said, is age 11. His pajamas, age 4. His dungarees, age
13. His underwear, age 19. In the case of the underwear,
researchers say, it’s not necessarily worn out, but sometimes
lost. His sweaters, age 17.
RAPID REPLY: No, sir, although the Bible talks about the
skies and the heavens in more than 400 different instances, it
apparently never describes them as blue.

Formerly, when you did
not know God. you were in
bondage to beings that by
nature are no gods, but now
that you have come to know
God, or rather to be known
by God, how can you turn
back again to the weak and
beggarly elemental spirits
whose slaves want to be once
more?—Galatians 4:8. 9.

If Lockheed closes
There has been a lot in the papers about
Lockheed and its financial troubles. There
can be no doubt that the giant Georgia
employer is in real danger. The military
industrial complex is under fire. Senator
Russell is dead. Congressman Vinson
retired a long time ago. Some politicians
are sniping at the firm.
Georgia has a big stake in Lockheed.
Northwest Georgia has a particularly big
one. State Labor Commissioner Sam Cald
well talked about it in a civic club speech
the other day. Here are some of the points
which he made:
—While Georgia now ranks sixth in the
nation in regard to its extremely favorable
rate of insured unemployment, the state
would “in pell mell fashion”, drop to a
national ranking of 33rd if Lockheed-
Georgia closes.
—We would virtually double the number
of unemployed Georgians drawing
unemployment benefits.
—ln the Atlanta area alone, it is possible
that the lines at our employment offices
would become three times as long as they
are today, as newly unemployed persons
Emotions can help
or hinder a person
By Rev. LEE TRUMAN
Copley News Service
Have you ever seen a man
kill an idea by strangling it
to death, or bludgeoning some
one’s dream to its knees?
Talking to a friend about a
man who had taken his own
life, J. S. related to me that he
had known the man in the busi
ness world. He summed up the
man’s life ruefully when he
said: “When a man has lost
God, there is not much left for
him to do but jump.”
The destructive emotions of
man, the acid feelings such as
anger, anxiety, envy, hate, fear
and jealousy are emotions
which can destroy. They are
boomerang emotions which can
hurt both persons, receiver and
sender.
To stop this vicious cycle, one
has to consciously develop and
nuture the healing and life
giving healthy emotions such
as faith, hope, creativeness,
love and laughter.
Love, for example, is the pro
cess of giving, and giving love
destroys selfishness, which re
sults in the dampening of the
self-centeredness which in turn
destroys jealousy, which re
sults in the end of hate, and this
will eliminate the possibility of
murder by hate.
To live and let live is just half
of the meaning of the com
mandment that we shall not
kill. If we look at this com
mandment, it means to live and
to help all other men to live
their full lives. Jesus did not
warn us against becoming
gangland executioners, but He
very sharply condemned all of
us who pass by on the other side
of the street from someone who
is injured and in need.
The foundation of this com
mandment is that God values
every man as much as He
values me.

came in their search for insurance benefits
and new jobs.
—The layoff of Lockheed-Georgia’s
19,000 personnel would increase the rate of
Georgia’s percent of unemployed workers
from 4.0 to 4.9. What is more difficult to
forecast accurately is the additional in
crease in the unemployment rate that
would result from harm to other Georgia
companies which do business with Lock
heed. There are well over 1,200 such firms
from all sections of the state to whom
Lockheed will have paid S6O-million in 1971
alone.
Commissioner Caldwell concluded,
“The current military-industrial complex
has evolved over a number of years, and
whether we agree with its need or
disagree, it would be catastrophic to
change this pace overnight at the expense
of a corporation such as Lockheed — one
that has contributed to much to our ration
al defense. And one which means so much
to the well being of so many thousands of
Georgians and Americans.”
The Griffin Daily News agrees and con
curs with this conclusion. How could it be
otherwise?
LET'S TALK
One God is Father to us all,
and so it follows that all men
are our brothers. This rule for
healthy living means that we
look at all men in this light.
Leonard Guys, sculptor and
artist, set up his statue, •‘The
Boy Dreaming,” at his last art
show and he used lights about
this bit of exciting stone. He
told me he had at first put the
lights on the floor shining on the
boy’s face. As he stepped back
and looked, he was shocked.
The boy looked strange, as if he
were bereft of any intelligence.
He changed the lights and
tried another angle. Leonard
tried the lights from above. The
statue had life and very much
resembled an angel.
This is a story worth telling
because when any of us looks at
any man from just the eye-to
eye level, some do act and look
as if they have little or no sensi
tivity or worth. If we keep look
ing at them in this manner, we
can begin to feel superior be
cause they, in our eyes, seem to
be inferior to us and we can fall
into the trap of thinking that
such people do not matter.
When we look at any man
through the eyes of faith, God’s
viewpoint, then we can see the
worth that that man has, that
all life is sacred and can only
respond, “I can’t kill; I must
help to live."
One of the great moments in
the book “Quo Vadis" was in
the torch-lighted arena at
night. Queen Lydia had been
captured and was a prisoner in
Rome. With her was her ser
vant, Ursus, who was a giant of
a man. They were both Chris
tians and were judged to be de
stroyed by the wild beasts in
the arena.
When their hour came, the
arena was packed and in a fes
tive mood. The servant Ursus
went to the center and knelt,
head bowed in prayer. His de
termined intent was to keep
praying on his knees and to
offer no resistance.
A baited bull was released
into the arena and his queen
was the object of his first
charge.
Ursus came to his feet and,
running, took the horns of the
bull in his arms and the brute
struggle was on.
In the hush of the arena, they
heard the cracking of the bones
in the bull’s neck as Ursus
tightened his grip. Gently he
freed his queen and carried her
to safety.
This is the positive side of liv
ing. The beasts of prejudice,
war, ignorance, poverty,
disease and hate leave us un
moved until they come close to
someone we Ipve.
It is then that we exert all our
strength against these destruc
tive emotions with strength we
may not know that we have.
When we come to love all men
and call them brother, we are
at war against all enemies of
man.
The friend I spoke about at
the beginning of this article, is
past his 75th birthday. Most of
his energy is spent raising
money for the building of the
education unit for his church.
He mused that he will never see
very many of the children who
will be taught in the church
school building, but he knows
that they will be coming and he
wants part of the fun of pre
paring for them.
That same man is concerned
about conservation of our na
tural resources, pollution, the
struggle in Vietnam and about
every other matter which has
an effect on life for the next
generation. But what else can
one expect from a man who has
been cultivating the positive
emotions all of his life?

I am a professional man. I
have tried to believe In
Christianity but it is too pat, too
simple. I can’t believe that God
works as methodically as the
Gospel indicates. W. S.
Where did you get the idea
that God works haphazardly?
His laws (sometimes called
natural laws) are pat The tide
tables, predictable years in
advance, are quite pat. Sunrise
and sunset run on a neat
schedule and never vary. The
Bible says: “The law of the
Lord is perfect converting the
50u1...” Why should you think It
strange that (as you say) “pat”
established laws should apply to
the soul of man? You say you
are a professional man. If you
are a lawyer, court procedures
are pretty “Pat”, aren’t they?
If you are a doctor, you would
be the first to claim that
medicine is an exact science
and is pretty “pat”. Why would
you, an intelligent man, assume
that God runs His universe any
less methodically than you do?
If you’re looking for an excuse
to be an unbeliever, surely you
can come up with a better one.
This one is as weak as it is
illogical. The Bible says: “The
fool hath said in his heart, there
is no God.”
