THE SUICIDE RATE among college boys is highest in those
universities which have the fewest coeds. That's in England.
Not sure it’s true here. But a 12-year study of 13 British
universities shows the more girls on campus, the fewer boys
who do away with themselves. No flippant matter. Just
peculiar.
YOU KNOW those Tabasco-type hot peppers? A medical
scholar now says he thinks the more of same you eat, the less
likely you’ll come down with some heart ailment. Associate
Professor Robert M Grodner of Louisiana State points out few
hot pepper eaters develop circulatory diseases. The why of
that is still under study.
HE WAS a prospector who liked his liquor. They called him
Ol’ Virginny. In Nevada country. One night in 1889, he fell in
the street. His beautiful bottle smashed against a rock, wetting
down the local earth. Quite an actor, that old boy! He
struggled to his feet, saluted the damp dirt, and proclaimed, “I
christen thee Virginny Town! Virginny Town survived, just
barely, but 01’ Virginny did not. Anyhow, that’s how Virginia
City got its name, really.
CUSTOMER SERVICE. Q “Did you say dogs don’t get
cavities? That’s wrong. My dog did.” A. So say others, too.
Guess dogs do get cavities. That’s all right. You know what
that fancy French philosopher Renan said: “Woe unto the
man who doesn’t contradict himself at least three times a
day.” .... Q “Which is the more difficult instrument, the
trumpet or the saxophone?’ A. The trumpet is harder to blow,
the sax is harder to finger. Or so the experts tell me .... Q.
“Can’t a man run faster than a whale can swim?” A For a
while, he can.
PRETTY OBSERVANT, are you? Good, without looking,
name those letters not on the telephone dial.... IF YOU'RE
average, by the way, the air you breathe every day weighs
more than the clothes you wear, young lady .... AND ONE
MORE thing, please don’t overlook the fact the crayfish’s
teeth are in its stomach and its liver is in its head.
ANY YOUNG FELLOW who is considering marrying a girl
born under the sign of Aquarius ought to prepare himself for a
lengthy courtship. Those Aquarius girls take a lot of wooing,
says our Planet man Also, they don’t care much for
housework and just can't stand men who pinch pennies.
WHICH IS the more dangerous, a rear tire blowout or a
front-tire blowout? Difference of opinion on that. The
Automobile Manufacturers Association as contended the
front-tire blowout is worse. Numerous racing drivers, however,
say they’d prefer that to a rear tire blowout. Don’t know,
don’t know.

Today is Friday, July 16, the
197th day of 1971.
The moon is between its last
quarter and new phase.
The morning stars are Venus,
Mars and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mercu
ry and Jupiter.
Those born on this day are
under the sign of Cancer.
Mary Baker Eddy, founder of
the Christian Science Church,
was born July 16, 1821.
On this day in history:
In 1790 Congress set up the
District of Columbia as the
permanent seat of the U.S.
government.
In 1862, by an act of
Congress, David Farragut be
came the first American
admiral.
In 1945 the first experimental
test of the atomic bomb was
conducted in New Mexico.
In 1969 Apollo 11 blasted off
from Cape Kennedy with three
astronauts aboard headed for
the moon.
A thought for today: Chris

Baker Eddy said, “Divine love
always has met and always will
meet every human need."

Mr. Nixon's trip to China:
A risk for peace
The President’s plan to visit Red China
is a dramatic move. In a drastic and
precipitate time in history, just such a
shocker may be exactly what is needed to
improve world relations.
Large risks are involved. First, there is
the personal risk to the President himself,
but we believe that it will be minimal.
President Eisenhower was prepared for
justsuch a risk in 1960 when he prepared to
visit Russia but cancelled the plan when
the Soviets shot down an American spy
plane deep in their own country.
Then there is the risk of injuring
relations between the United States and
other nations. Counteracting this is the

Ruthers in playoffs
The Griffin Babe Ruth 14 and 15-year-old
All-Stars and the 13-year-old rookie Babe
Ruttiers are headed for state tournaments.
The local teams won berths in state
playoffs this week*
Griffin Babe Ruth teams have competed
in state and regional tournaments in the
past. They always have represented the
dty well on and off the field.
This year’s teams should be no different.
America’s abandonment of the supersonic transport
may or may not have been wise. But any idea that this
country’s progress in aircraft technology has now stopped,
that we’ve gone as far as we can go, couldn’t be more
wrong.
Jet transports envisioned for the 1975-85 decade will be
faster, quieter and more comfortable than today’s air
liners. They’ll be lighter, cheaper to build and operate
and fly faster and farther with bigger payloads on less
fuel. And they’ll emit fewer pollutants.
‘These are some of the qualities we plan to design into
the future transport, based on current and projected
advances in the art,” says Ken Carlinq, manager of Gen
eral Dynamics Corporation’s advanced transport tech
nology program in Fort Worth, funded by a sl-million
contract from National Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration.
Tomorrow’s transport will probably cruise at 660 miles
an hour, just under the speed of sound at 40,000 feet.
That’s about 100 miles an hour faster than the cruise
speed of today’s long-range jets. It would reduce the
time for a transatlantic flight from seven to six hours.
The key to this advance is a new “supercritical” wing
design. Instead of being curved on top and flat on bottom
like today’s airfoil, the supercritical wing will be rela
tively flat on top and curved on bottom.
Wings, tail surfaces and possibly the fuselage of the
advanced transport will be made of graphite epoxy com
posite, a material that is much lighter than aluminum,
yet as strong.
By using composites, says Carline, “we can ‘mold’
large sections of the aircraft in much the same way that
you would make a plastic boat. Parts would be made
from the outside shell inwards, rather than the present
way of riveting a skin on the outside of a skeleton.”
This construction method would reduce the airplane’s
weight by as much as 20 per cent and cut costs.
Composite wings, combined with advanced flight-con
trol systems, could make air travel much smoother for
the passenger of the 1980 era. Sensors in the flight-control
system would detect turbulence and automatically com
mand the wings to compensate by bending—rolling with
the punch, so to speak.
Manufacturers are also making headway in developing
engines that will give off less pollutants.
It all sounds great. You can still plan, however, on
leaving home at least an hour before flight time to strug
gle through ground traffic on the way to the Airport.

leadership role which America exerts in
the free world. Leaders almost always
have to take calculated risks at one time or
another.
Other risks are involved: the risk of a
breach in the ranks of his own political
party at home, of attack from the extreme
right wingers in the U.S., of trouble from
some congressmen, and on and on and on.
Yes, there are risks. But in the final
analysis, the Griffin Daily News sees this
as another in the risks which must come
before some degree of normalcy and peace
return to the world.
Mr. Nixon is a courageous man. We wish
him bon voyage.
The teams have their share of good play
ers.
The adult leadership is excellent.
We wish the local Babe Ruthers luck as
they head into state playoffs. The farther a
team advances in tournament competition
the tougher the opposition.
We feel the Griffin teams are capable of
meeting the challenge.

When our minister asks us to
come forward what must I do
and say? Should I pray silently
or aloud? T. H.
You must come with a sense
of need. “And my God shall
supply all your needs according
to his riches in glory.” You
must come confessing your
sins. “If we confess our sins he
is faithful and just to forgive our
sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” You must
come turning from your sins.
“Let the wicked forsake his way
and the unrighteous man his
thoughts.” You must come
believing. “He that cometh to
God must believe that he is and
that he is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek him.” You
come receiving Christ. “As
many as received him to them
gave he the power to become
the sons of God.”
As to praying aloud or in
secret, God judges our prayers
by sincerity and earnestness,
and not whether they are vocal
or silent. If your heart cries out
for God, it matters not how it is
expressed, for the Bible says,
“Whosoever shall call upon the
all call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.”
