Why Caesar
Made Salad
“Hunger is the teacher of the arts and bestower
of invention.”
Persius, A. D. 34-62
You're familiar with Caesar salad, but can you iden
tify the Caesar for whom said dish was named? Caesar
Cardini, innkeeper of Tijuana, Mexico, it was. Exactly
50 years ago come July 4, Sr. Cardini’s eatery ran out
of grub. Big crowd that weekend. All he could find in the
ice chest were a couple of crates of romaine lettuce, a
half crate of eggs, some four-day-old pullman bread,
lemons, romano cheese and spices. He invented.

Battle lines drawn
The battle lines are drawn.
Major league baseball players say they
will strike if club owners do not meet their
pension demands.
The clubowners voted yesterday not to
change their position and authorized their
spokesman to advise players to take a
walk if they want too.
Gussie Busch, who runs the Cardinals,
pretty well summed up the owners’
feelings when he said: “We’re not going to
give them another cent. If they want to
strike, let ’em.”
That’s how the situation now stands.
Welcome to
Five newcomers to Griffin have formed
a social club for women. Now that strikes
us as a very good idea. Griffin has lots of
newcomers. Some come and stay a while
and move to another place. Others come
and stay for the rest of their lives. Take the
current Man of the Year for example, Lee
Roy Claxton. He and Mrs. Claxton moved
to Griffin in 1949. Now they are oldtimers
in town and he has received the highest
recognition anyone can have at home,
which is the best and at the same time
perhaps the most difficult place to have it.

Call son before visiting
By RIV TOBIN
Copley News Service
Dear Mrs. Tobin: We have
been married six years. It was
always the policy of my hus
band's family to drop in on us
for a visit with no advance no
tice. About a year ago my hus
band told them they were wel
come in our home but before
they come they are to call us.
This has turned out to be a big
issue.
A year has passed and the
subject is still as fresh as a
daisy with them. Since that day
they say they will never call
their son’s home, and if we
want them to crane we should
call them. We can't see how
they can feel that calling to see
if we will be home can make
them feel unwelcome.
They maintain that their
home is open to us at all times
and ours should be open to
them. They say that they have
always been good to us and that
our request was a slap in the
face and they are deeply hurt.
Whenever they go to their
daughter's home they always
call her first. Do you know why
they feel this way and how we
can solve the problem? —

Three kinds
of conscience
Hasn’t God given us a conscience so we
can tell right from wrong? And if we follow
our conscience, won’t we usually be right?
I have a friend who says this isn’t true —
that the conscience can’t be always be
trusted. Tell us what you think. L.G.
Our English word conscience comes
from the Latin word CONSCIRE which
means: knowledge within. Our conscience
is usually affected by the sort of social
climate we are reared in. Some people, for
example, think it’s all right to steal. Others
believe it is against the moral law. In other
words the human conscience is flexible.
The Bible even teaches that the conscience
can be twisted and “seared” so it can no
longer be trusted. “Having their con
science seared with a hot iron.” I Timothy
4:2.
I would say there are two kinds of
viewpoint
No one really feels that the 1972 season
or any part of it will be cancelled because
players and owners can’t get together.
However, a lot of fans are getting fed up
with the constant bickering that seems as
much a part of baseball as the bunt.
A Griffinite, who once loved baseball as
much as anyone, said this week that he
wouldn’t give a dime to see another game.
That may not be typical fan reaction to
the bickering, but it could be a warning to
baseball players and owners alike that
their actions may be harming the game.

percentage can not be very large. There
are exceptions, of course, but most of the
present prominent business and
professional people came here from
somewhere else. Over half of the 18 Men of
the Year were bom elsewhere and either
moved here as children with their parents
or as adults themselves.
Newcomers do face common problems,
so a club of their own strikes us as an
excellent idea. Also we like to see people
with enough get-up-and-go to do something
for themselves and the five women who
started the club have that.

Dear Wondering: Perhaps
your husband’s parents feel a
WOMAN’S home is her castle
and that is why they phone
their son-in-law before they
drop in. Either that, or your
brother-in-law has also laid
down the law. Most parents
are good to their children but
that doesn’t give them any spe
cial rights. Visitors should
ALWAYS call before making a
visit. The solution? Call your
husband’s parents frequently
and make a special effort to
make them feel welcome in
your home. Good luck!
Dear Mrs. Tobin: We are
planning an engagement party
for our daughter. Friends tell
us that such a party requires a
gift. How can we gracefully
say, “No gifts, please?”
Are the young man’s parents
invited? Who else should we in
vite? Who formally announces
the engagement? Should the
bride-to-be give her fiance an
engagement gift? Should the
two sets of parents give the
couple a gift? — Mrs. Z.
Dear Mrs. Z.: Most engage
ment parties are a surprise to
the guests. These guests should
conscience — perhaps three. First, there is
the natural conscience which is con
ditioned by our environment and
knowledge. Then, there is the “purged”
conscience, which we shall call the Chris
tian conscience. “The blood of Christ. . .
purge your conscience from dead works to
serve the living God.” Hebrews 9:14.
The normal or natural conscience, which
is conditioned by social influences can
become warped, “seared” and twisted.
That brings us to the third kind of con
science: the criminal conscience. This is
the person who can steal, hate and kill
without compunction of conscience. In any
case, whether our conscience be natural,
or criminal, it needs to be “purged” by the
blood of Christ. Then, like a sensitive
compass on a plane, it can be relied upon
to make the right decisions.
most certainly include your
daughter’s future in-laws. Hie
guest list should also include all
the people the engaged couple
is THINKING about having in
their wedding party and close
friends of your family. The par
ty can be as simple or as elabo
rate as you wish. At any appro
priate time your husband calls
for attention, lifts his glass and
says something such as, “It is
with great joy and happiness
that Jane and I announce the
engagement of Martha to
Frank Doe. We welcome him
and his mother and father into
our family circle. Please join
me in a toast to Martha and
Frank.”
Everyone raises his glass
EXCEPT your daughter and
her fiance. They merely smile
and nod to acknowledge the
toast. The party should be the
first time your daughter wears
her engagement ring publicly,
but let me stress that a ring
makes the engagement no
more binding. No gifts are re
quired, either from the guests
or the parents. Your daughter
does not need to give her fiance
a gift, but may do so if she
wishes.

Tokyo Worried
About U.S. Aims
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
WASHINGTON <NEA>
Japan’s suspicions of American purposes in Asia have
slipped beneath the surface, but they may actually be
stronger than in the days of that country’s more open
clamor against President Nixon’s China trip
It is not widely known, but Japanese Prime Minister
Sato is unhappy over the trip for a very specific reason.
He believes that, with respect to the controversial issue
of Taiwan, President Nixon in the communique with
China’s Chou En-lai yielded more than he told Sato he
would
The President promised in that document that U.S.
troops stationed on Taiwan eventually would be with
drawn. The indication is that Sato, after talking with
Nixon in January in California, did not expect anything
so explicit.
In the context of uncertainty established by Nixon in
his 1971 surprise announcement on China, Sato’s view
of the communique can only spell fresh trouble.
The Japanese leaders are no longer talking so much
about the “Nixon shocks" of last year But they don’t
believe they have the foggiest notion what we really are
up to. And their protective reaction is to fear the worst,
and think about charting some wholly new course for
themselves
Whatever the gains from the China trip in the way of
eased tensions and an improved mood for peace, more
than a few foreign affairs specialists think it vastly in
flated China’s present world importance. They agree
with the Japanese that the whole Peking extravaganza
puts Japan’s Pacific and world role very much in doubt.
If the President has an appreciation of this, he has not
yet moved to lessen Tokyo’s smoldering fears Probably
we should not expect any lightning-fast White House re
sponse. since Nixon’s soothing January talk with Sato
came a long six months after the shock of the China visit
was first felt in July, 1971
In the absence of fuller reassurances from Washing
ton, Japanese leaders may be pushing their anger a bit
further out of sight, but they are gravely weighing new
foreign policy directions
The least plausible change is a serious accommodation
with the Soviet Union. There may be a flirtation or two
with Moscow, but it will be mostly for diplomatic effect
Notwithstanding the noise from Japan's militant left,
little love is best between the Japanese and the Russians.
Harder thought may be given to making Japan a nu
clear power. There is enormously heavy opposition in the
country to development of nuclear weaponry. The
memory of Hiroshima and Nagasaki burns bright. But
tough-minded Japanese diplomats think the people might
accept such a course if that is deemed necessary to ele
vate Japan to the ranks of the super-powers.
These officials privately think Nixon would not be
paying so much attention to China if China did not have
the bomb. “If that’s what it takes to be regarded seri
ously,’’ one told me. “we can build the bomb.”
Considerations about nuclear power are part of a
broader Japanese review devoted to the more complex
idea that, one way or another, they and the strengthened
West European lands can push their way into the top
circle with America, Russia and China. That prospect de
serves fuller treatment in a later column.
