Heavy Smoking
And Wrinkles
Exactly why heavy smoking tends to wrinkle the skin prema
turely around the eyes remains unknown, but such is said to be
the case.
Most lions don't climb trees. Except lor the lions in the Lake
Manyara district of Tanganyika. There, the lions actually live in
trees. Why these but none others do so remains a mystery.
Researchers who have made a study of the matter contend
the typical lady of the evening works a six-night week, averages
three clients a shift, grosses about SIO,OOO a year. They estimate
100,000 women nationwide can be categorized as professionals.
INDIAN
Q ’’Who said, ’The only good Indian is a dead Indian ?''
A Gen Phillip H Sheridan, the Union cavalry officer.
Story goes Comanche chief Toch-a-Way met the general at Fort
Cobb, Mo , in January of 1870, and said, "Me good Indian.''
That's when Sheridan reportedly delivered his forgettable line.
Did I tell you about the night Prince Albert locked Queen
Victoria out of the bedroom? Big fight. She knocked imperiously,
thump, thump. "Who is it?" said Albert "The Queen, she
answered, majestically. "Who?" snarled Albert. Your wife,
she said, softly. He opened then.
Only branch of show business which barred that sexy female
performance known as the ’ ’shimmy'' was burlesque. Make men
tion of this because a client asks if all the old burlesque
shows weren't downright dirty. Risque, some acts. But never
as blue as the stag show films of late. Contrary to recent im
pression, much burlesque catered to the family crowd, not just to
whiskery drunks with filthy postcards in their pockets.
ENGLISH HOUR
If an invitation in Latin America carries the notation
"English hour," that means show up on time, please.
How can you call yourself a Biblical scholar if you can't
name the only group of stars mentioned in the Bible 7 "The
Pleiades," you say? Correct.
That black hair style known as the ’ ’natural" originated with
the Benja tribe of Africa. The Fuzzy Wuzzies, they've been
called No, it wasn't just a fancy fad. That hair shaded their eyes
from the fierce desert sun.
True, the derby, mackintosh, bloomers, cardigan and bowl
er, all these were named after people. Likewise, the Nehru jacket,
as previously reported Asked I: Any other articles of attire sim
ilarly named? "The Eisenhower jacket," "the May West pre
server" and "the Mother Hubbard," reports a kindly client.
Quite right, that should complete the list, no?

Welcome, teachers
School starts in Griffin on Monday, and
the teachers reported for work this week to
get ready for the 1973-74 term.
Most important thing in any school is the
individual pupil, and next is the individual
teacher. All the fine facilities, transporta

purpose of the schools. Teaching comes
It was good news for the community that
the Hospital Authority could work things
out with the contractor and get moving on
the addition. Also it was good news again
Lunch prices
A number of Georgia school systems
have had to increase school lunch prices,
but even at the new cost they are a
bargain.
The Griffin-Spalding System announced

Random thoughts
A quick smile is a sign of affability— and
of good teeth.
Today’s necessities were yesteryear’s
luxuries, and today’s luxuries were yester
year’s undreamed-ofs.
One thing learned from mistakes is that
it is easier to learn some other way.
Caution
Do not buy a paper from a child.
:£ Some children have been stealing papers from coin
boxes and offering them for sale.
Buying a stolen paper only encourages theft and
delinquency.
The Griffin Daily News is on sale at numerous places ¥
throughput the city, but no child is authorized to sell single $
copies.
What about
being married?
Is it a form of punishment from God if
one has never gotten married? All my life,
I’ve wanted to get married, because I
consider matrimony a blessed sacrament
instituted by God. My present state of life
has made me depressed. B.A.
It’s never right to have a concept of God
which sees punishment or judgment as one
of His chief characteristics. It is true the
Bible shows Him as holy, and as the true
Judge of mankind, but His essential nature
is love, and He majors in dispensing mercy
and grace.
Someone has suggested that the Bible
shows God as always rushing to demon
strate His forgiving love, but delaying His
action of punishment. Perhaps the parable

system probably will have to raise the tab

that it could begin the term by holding the

There is a vast difference between

MY
ANSWER ,<4l
-Si:
of the prodigal (Luke 15) would illustrate
the former, and the story of Sodom’s
destruction in Genesis 18 the latter.
It was God’s pleasure to institute
marriage so that man would not be
“alone.” This would not imply, however,
that persons who did not marry were some
sort of second class citizens. The home in
Bethany where Jesus loved to visit had two
single women, Mary and Martha. The
Apostle Paul is another who apparently
never married, and even urged the single
state upon others if they could adapt to
that rigorous condition (I Corinthians 7).
Above all else, however, ask God to give
you a feeling of contentment in whatever
state of life you find yourself, married or
single. Your usefulness to God and man is
not dependent upon marriage vows.

Price regulations ■
need help of all ■
By Ray Cromley
Mr
B
WASHINGTON
After two years of price controls of one sort or
one thing is clear:
Price regulations alone are ineffective. They won't worH
unless government, industry and the consumer show reß|
straint.
Item — Federal and state governments must control
spending. This, of course, is not as easy as it sounds. BotMf
the President and Congress have got to agree on
they're going to hold the line, and thus far this has
impossible. Congress has found it impractical to agree
limits within its own house.
The administration, likewise, while pushing for cuts in
variety of areas, hasn’t done all it can to eliminate
wood in a variety of key programs. M
Item — The Federal Reserve has got to do more to keejMl
the money supply from growing too rapidly. For too
money circulating, in times like these, tends to drive price«t
up. Again, this solution is easier described than carried outH|
Too tight a control on the money supply can limit
in industrial production, in commerce and in consumer buy-®'
ing to a degree that advantageous growth is hampered and
the danger of a recession is brought closer. An overtightß|
control of money can lead to serious amounts of unemploy H|
ment
Item — Government and industry must both take
determined steps to increase production when needed. InH|
part, this means better government data nationally and
ternationally (on such matters for example as the interna-MI
tional wheat crop and the probability of drought in Russia). Hi
In part, it means more rapid government action to relax cer-Hj
tain controls — such as farm acreage restrictions and other HI
restraints on output — and more responsive government ac-M
tion in releasing stocks of overpriced basic materials. W|
This again won't be easy of accomplishment. Government K
data on economics, commerce, production and purchases — H
especially international data — is gathered inefficiently, is K
incomplete, frequently inaccurate and almost always so slow B
in arriving in the hands of those who need to use it that it
frequently is of not much account except to scholars.
The Commerce Department, on which a heavy share of K
collection, compilation and analysis depends, has one of the K
most inefficient bureaucracies in Washington (though it has ■s'
some very good men) and the Agriculture Department’s for- ■'
eign collection system is hardly better.
Item — It will be necessary for both the government and K
industry to step up on research on substitute materials (for
petroleum, as an example), on more efficient means of pro- M
duction. on domestic sources of supply, on improved materi- Kg
als and end products. The problem here is that Congress has Bg
a habit of cutting back on research requests in times of in
flation when they’re most sorely needed.
The federal government departments too frequently sacri- K
fice important research projects in favor of operations when B«
budget hold-downs are called for Yet we re not going to Bs
solve inflation (except at the cost of a recession) and we re B;
not going to be able to meet foreign competition unless we B|
improve our know-how at a more rapid pace.

poet.
It takes a person who is
wide awake to make his

In 1889. Andrew Carnegie

Wealth" professed that rich
men should use their wealth
for the good of the public.
The World Almanac notes.
To aid educational institu
tions and research founda
tions. he gave endowments
of some $333,000,000. includ
ing funds for 2.800 free pub
