Our honorable senators
The honorable Senate of the honorable

voting machine similar to the one which
the House has had for so many years.
This is good. For one thing, it will speed
the voting of the snail-like senators who
seem to delight in creeping along. For
another, it will put the Honorable Senators
themselves on record, so you won’t have to

Is Atlanta a safe city?
Thomasville Times - Enterprise
Folks used to be able to walk the streets
of Atlanta in safety, even downtown at
night.
Now, it seems there is no real safety
even on Peachtree or Broad Streets in the
heart of downtown Atlanta, either night or
day.
There have been so many muggings and
purse snatchings in downtown Atlanta in
recent months, even at crowded bus stops,
that extra police foot patrolmen have been
assigned to duty and there are plans to
install high intensity lighting on the
streets.
On Tuesday one policeman and one Black
Muslim were killed; another policeman
and a store security guard and another
Black Muslim wounded in a noon hour
shoot out on Board Street between Rich’s
main store and Marietta Street. Shoppers
and passersby were endangered.
And early Tuesday morning a visiting
fireman in Atlanta attending a fire fighting
school, was shot and robbed as he went to
get his car in a Peachtree Street parking

All-Star teams

carry the league’s banners in sub-district

No reference
to spring, autumn
We often have a discussion down at work
on the teaching of the Bible. Right now,
there’s a debate as to whether the Bible
says anything about the changing of the
seasons. Can you help us on this? G.T.
In the Bible, there is no reference to
spring or autumn. The only seasons
mentioned are summer and winter. Gensis
8:22, Psalm 74:17, Zechariah 14:8. This is
probably because the four season in
Palestine are not as marked as in more
northern countires. Even the range of
temperature is not so great.
The language of Jesus was filled with
references to the world of nature. He spoke
of the sparrows and the sky, of the stars
and the seas, of sowing and of summer.
One such reference was in Mark 13:28
it until the next election when you see him
with his hand up and voting aye on the
salary raise for himself.
And not the least of its benefits will be
that it will put Lieutenant Governor Lester
Maddox behind the eight-ball if he tries to
call a re-vote when the first count did not
suit him. That is what he did when the
Honorable Senators raised their own
honorable pay.
lot.
Nice town Atlanta is getting to be.
And it is noteworthy, too, that a brand
new close in apartment building has just
been opened up for tenants. The rental
rates, if you’ve got that kind of money,
range from $350 a month to $1,250 a month.
Georgians all over the state used to be
enormously proud of Atlanta as their
capital city. And there is still pride in its
phenomenal growth, its towering, shining
skyline and its major league sports
attractions.
But crime and traffic congestion and air
pollution are tarnishing Atlanta’s image.
Are most Georgians proud of their capital
city any more?
Atlanta was once a pleasant, even a
delightful place to live, not so many years
ago. Anybody want to live there now and
fight traffic and dodge bullets and
muggers? And maybe pay $1,250 a month
for a luxury apartment? If so, they can
have the place; we’ll take Thomasville
anytime.
Being chosen to an all-star team is an
honor whether it’s Little League or Major
Leagues.
Selecting tournament (all-star) teams
probably was a tough chore for local
officials.
It appears Griffin has an abundance of
fine young baseball talent.
The teams should represent the city well
in tournament competition.
MY
ANSWER ,J!
-'Ai'
when He said: “Learn a lesson from the fig
tree. When its tender shoorts appear... you
know that summer is near.”
Often when reference is made to the
seasons, it is a word not only about the
changing scenes of life, but a warning to
prepare for what is to come. Jesus put a
premium on understanding life—and being
able to discern reality.
To me, that’s the benefit of the Bible. It
is a stablizing influence; it offers a per-,
manent promise of pardon and peace in
the midst of a world of change. I
congratulate you on your Bible studies and
sicussions. It’s the greatest document of
the human race, and remains the bulwark
of national, personal and spiritual
freedom.

BRUCE BIOSSAT
Tokyo frets over
Nixon export aim
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
WASHINGTON (NEA>
In the view of our vital trading partners, the Japanese. ,
President Nixon has done it again. His proposals for export
controls on some U.S. farm products have for them the cruel
uncertainty of the “Nixon shocks'' of 1971.
What most troubles them is the limit he may impose on
the export of soybean products and animal feed grains. Ja- •
pan is a heavy importer of these things, which play an im
portant role in the country's widening, more balanced daily
diet.
Japanese officials here insist that, as in the case of the •
1971 imposition of a trade surcharge and other measures af
fecting them, the President this time gave them no early
notice of what was coming.
Worse still, as they read his words, they see no clear ter- *
minal date for whatever export controls he may lay on. He
did use the term "short" in discussing them, but failed to
define it specifically. His reassurances about increasing our
food exports "over the long run" did not appease Tokyo.
The time has gone by when the Japanese leadership will «
sit patiently around simply hoping for the best. The men in
Tokyo already are thinking hard about alternative sources.
They will soon be planning to shift toward these, unless they
are given clearer guidelines from the President about the #
probable duration of export controls. <
Their reliance on U.S. soybeans is the centerpiece of their
concern. In Japan, these are used mainly for soy sauce and
bean cake, both staples in today s richer diet.
When officials speak of alternative sources of supply, they ■
do not appear to be making idle threat. Japan is not at all
prepared to cut back its mounting food consumption. Atten
tion therefore is already focusing on the huge soybean po
tential of fast-developing Brazil.
Scan the agricultural figures of a decade or more ago and
you find no mention of soybeans in connection with Brazil.
Even the most recent annual production figures place it a
distant third behind the United States and China. But produc
tion is booming, and the outlook for major growth is genu- •
inely promising.
Brazilian officials told me that in the first few months of
1973. Brazil's soybean exports for the first time exceeded its
foreign shipments of coffee, long its most celebrated prod- |
uct.
Brazilian authorities say the biggest soybean development
is taking place in the southerly, populous state of Sao Paulo,
where — on a rolling plateau 3.000 feet above sea level —
weather and soil conditions favor growth. •
But soybean farming is spreading to other areas in this
Latin land nearly as large as the United States. The image
of Brazil as a vast, tangled jungle is distorted. Even in.
northern jungle zones there are broad savannas (parklike «
stretches of grassland sparsely dotted with trees I which can
be developed agriculturally. In the famed Amazon valley,
more than one sizable nucleus of soybean farming is being
promoted.
So the somewhat disgruntled Japanese do indeed have *
somewhere to turn if Mr. Nixon clamps a lid on soybean and
other food exports and gives no quick clues as to when it will
be lifted. The days of our special superiority in farming may
be numbered. •
