THOSE ARTICLES of wearing apparel a man is most apt to
keep in his possession longest are his belts. Clothiers say that.
They also happily say that year in which a man is most apt to
buy new belts is age 42. Suppose that's right, yes. I bought
new belts at age 13, age 28 and age 42. When did you last buy
a new batch of belts, mister? Or is that too personal?
THAT ONE OUT of every five citizens moves each year is
known. Further research indicates said moves average about
: 1,000 miles each.... CONSIDER THE BITES OF poisonous
! snakes. In just about 30 per cent of these, the snakes bite all
; right, but inject no venom. Why not is a mystery. Will check
; further.... ARGUMENT CONTINUES over who are the
greatest gamblers. If it were not the Chinese - it is , it is - it
would then have to be either the Greeks or the British.
THE AVERAGE nurse walks 14 miles a day. The average
waitress, 11 miles. The average airline stewardess, 9 miles. The
average housewife, 5 miles. The average file clerk, 4 miles. The
average stenographer, 2 miles. Which, incidentally, is how far
the average dairy cow walks daily, too, just 2 miles. Would
think stenographers and dairy cows would get around a little
more than that, but they don't.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Q. "In Black Jack, which players
are most apt to lose, those who draw too many cards or those
who draw too few?” A. The too-many bunch. That's why
women generally win more often than do men in this tricky
game. They tend to draw fewer cards.
IF YOU WANT to know her age, but don’t want to ask her
flat out, this is one way to find out: Just hand her a piece of
paper and a pencil. Tell her to jot down the number of the
month she was born in. Say, 6 for June. Double it. Add 5.
Multiply by SO. Then tell her to add her age and subtract 250.
Her age will be the two figures on the right. The month she
' was bom in, the figure or figures on the left. Simple, what?
WHY THE GENTLEMEN of Finland are those worldwide
most apt to suffer heart attacks I don’t know, but statistics
indicate that.... NAME THE WORST month of the year,
directs a client. That's November, isn't it? But why name the
worst? Best month is April, certainly .... APPROXIMATELY
one out of four citizens rushed into emergency hospitals, the
records show, are under the influence of liquor.
AM ASKED WHICH tend to quarrel more, sisters or
brothers. Sisters do. Generally. The social scientists have
established that. They’ve also established the fact that
mothers, not fathers, tend to discourage their daughters from
going steady while fathers, not mothers, tend to discourage
their sons from doing so.

Hie State Highway Department plans to
let a contract in August for resurfacing
work. It will cover a five-mile stretch of I*
285 and 1-85 between their juncture near
Red Oak east to the 1-285 intersection with
U. S. 41 near Forest Park.
Such work is not too unusual because the
interstates have been with us awhile now
and need repair from time to time. What is
unusual, though, is that the contract will
call for any work which requires closing a
lane of traffic to be done between the hours
of 7 p.m. and 6 a jn. the next day.
Like a lot of activities in this ecologically minded time,
the sport or pastime or profession of hunting has come in
for a lot of knocks.
Hunting is not only barbaric and unnecessary, it is
claimed, but it has a detrimental effect on wildlife popu
lations.
‘‘Concerned over increasing antihunting sentiment, The
Wildlife Society has gone on record in strong support of
hunting in the United States,” reports Fred G. Evenden,
executive director of the conservation organization head
quartered in Washington, D.C.
More than anyone, he says, the professional conserva
tionist is aware that the hunter plays a vital role in
today's wildlife management programs.
Hunters pay more than S2OO million for wildlife restora
tion each year. Hunting license fees are the backbone of
50 state fish and game departments. An excise tax on
hunting equipment provides over S4O million a year, ear
marked solely for wildlife. No other group can match
these contributions.
As to the morality of killing wild animals, many people
fail to comprehend that these animals will die whether
they are hunted or not, and in nearly all cases they will
die a much slower and painful death. If animals are
overprotected, overpopulation results and starvation is the
inevitable result.
“Sport hunting is regulated to maintain healthy bal
ances in wildlife populations,” says Evenden. “Seasons
are opened only when there is a genuine abundance of
wildlife and hunting is needed to bring the population in
balance with available food. This regulated hunting in
sures healthy populations of wildlife for the future while
providing recreation for 17 million Americans each year.”
He goes even further and claims that “without the
hunter there would be little, if any, wildlife left in
America.”
For those who like to hunt, this is a welcome pat on
the back.
For those who dislike hunting, and hunters, and are con
cerned about wildlife, it may at least allay their worst
fears.
Evenden, of course, is talking about the responsible
hunter who obeys the laws and who, happily, is in the
majority in the hunting fraternity.
Watch Your Language
The National Association of Laymen, a Roman Catho
lis organization founded several years ago to help carry
out the reform program of the Second Vatican Council,
has already been overtaken by changing times.
At its recent meeting in New York, the association
voted overwhelmingly to change its name to the National
Association of Laity—in order to “display concern and
sensitivity” toward women.
“We need to be sensitive to the little things in our
lives,” explained retiring president William Caldwell, re
ferring to the countless semantic slings and arrows and
little putdowns women are subjected to every time the
English language is spoken.
Women obviously are sensitive about being called “lay
men.” Fortunately in this case there was an alternative,
neutral word to hand. The solution is not so easy with
regard to words like “chairman” or “foreman” and hun
dreds of others which reflect the fact that men have been
in charge of things for so many centuries.
“Chairwoman” or “forelady” merely serve to sexually
categorize the titleholder and thus in away are even
worse than the words they replace.
This job of rooting out all vestiges of male chauvinism
from our society promises to be a long, long process It’s
hard enough to get people to change their attitudes and
practices, much less the language they use.
What the National Association of Laity did may have
been a big step for them but it was really just a small
step for man—oops, humankind.

Announcement of the news said, “This
will be the first contract let under a new
department policy which will require most
future work requiring lane closings on
Atlanta area freeways to be done at night,
where possible. The new policy is being
implemented for the convenience of the
traveling public, State Highway Depart
ment Director Bert Lance states.”
Well now, we won’t ask, “Why didn’t
somebody think of this before?” Instead,
we’ll just say that we are glad that some
body did think of it The idea makes sense.

I wonder if your preacher

spiritual welfare of you and all
the members of the
congregation in his heart and
prayers. As a matter of fact
many ministers break down
under the load they carry, part
of it is the knowledge that so
many to whom they minister
are “Sunday Christians” only.
Much of his time is spent in
Bible study, prayer and the
preparation of sermons. There
are constant calls for coun
seling, visiting the sick and the
other multiplied activities of the
modern church. Not only is your
pastor a preacher and coun
selor, he is also an ad
ministrator of whom much is
expected.
The Apostle Paul, the world's
greatest itinerant missionary,
wrote of his own burdens in
these words: “Besides those
things that are without, that
which cometh upon me daily,
the care of all Ute churches.”
Your own pastor may have as
part of his burden the in
difference or criticism of
members of his congregation.
Don’t add to that burden. Try to
see his problems and help him
as you can, and, be sure to pray
for him too.
