Smoking Causes
Facial Wrinkles
Nicotine is known to constrict the capillaries. Con
stricted capillaries are known to cut down the blood supply
to the tissues. A cut-down blood supply is known to lessen
the elasticity of skin. That’s the roundabout reasoning of
some researchers who contend that smoking causes facial
wrinkles.
HE WHO CALLS his pup to him for the purpose of pun
ishing the little rascal teaches that dog never to come
when it's called. That’s bad. Very bad. So says a trainer of
canines. You reward your dog by bringing it to you, con
tends this authority, and you punish it by sending it away.
DOMINO THEORY
Q. "Who came up with the so-called ‘domino theory’
about Southeast Asia?"
A. Can only report that President Dwight Eisenhower
first expressed it publicly on April 7, 1954, when he said:
"The loss of Indochina, as in a game of dominoes, would
occasion the loss of Southeast Asia." His Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles repeatedly pounded on that
point.
SINCE YOU were age 15, have you ever had a fist fight
or a hair-pulling match? Pollsters put that query to numer
ous men and women. One out of every two men said yes.
But only one out of every nine women said yes. Both the
fist-fighting men and the hair-pulling women exhibited
signs of mild pride when they replied, the pollsters said.
LOVE AND WAR
One out of every 20 well-educated mature women re
ports to the surveytakers that she has never had a matri
monial proposal. Our Love and War man says this statistic
does not tell the complete story, however. A lot of such
ladies, says he, head off any possible proposals before
they’re spoken. A women usually can shut down an
amorous fellow in a hurry, if she so chooses, he says.
DO YOU KNOW how farm chickens get their vitamin
D? From the sunshine through their combs.
ITS A MATTER of record that some stunt pilots in
explicably suffer from motion sickness on such carnival
rides as roller coasters.
“TREMENDOUS,” “horrendous" and "stupendous” are
three of the four words that end in "dous." Our Language
man is still trying to find the fourth. No luck, so far.

Thanksgiving with the announcement that
Sybil Mills which now has 260 employes
plans to expand and hire 500 more by the
end of 1976. Griffin and Spalding have been
suffering worse than the national and state
unemployment rates and the new jobs will

Sybil is located in the former Jaco

Now that Thanksgiving is beneath our
belts, the Christmas countdown is un

less than a month away. The annual
Christmas parade is scheduled in Griffin
next week. Stores report that business is
brisk. The Post Office has issued its annual
appeal to mail cards and packages early.
All in all, excitement is in the air and will
increase day by day. Isn’t this a wonderful
time of the year!
Lieutenant Governor Zell Miller has
urged Congress to include all states under
the voting rights act not just Georgia and
a few others. We agree with him that it is

Bears among best
The football experts, who rate prep
teams, ignored Griffin all season. Not once
did the Bears show up in the Top 10. A
couple of times they were among “other
teams that received votes.”
Tonight Griffin plays Lakeside in the
first round of the State Triple-A playoffs
and the experts can no longer ignore Coach
Max Dowis’ fine team.
The Bears are one of only eight region
champions and one of only eight teams in
the playoff for the state Triple-A cham-
Giving money
to the church
Do you believe good Christians have to
give money to the church? We have never
had much money, and in these hard times
it seem impossible for us to give anything
away and still make ends meet. Besides, it
seems like the small amount we would
give wouldn’t do any good anyway. M.M.L.
The important thing is not whether we
give great amounts or small amounts, but
that we give it in a spirit of joy and
dedication to Christ Remember the story
of the widow who could only give two small
coins, and yet Jesus said she had really
given more than the rich men who had
putin greater amounts. The difference was
that she gave all she could, whereas the
others gave simply to impress people.
(Luke 21:1-4). The Bible says that we are
to give “not reluctantly or under com
pulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
(HCorinthians 9:7, RSV).
God asks us to give money to His work
announcement of the expansion said that
present employes have proved themselves
“honest, industrious and hard working”
and their doing so figured in the decision to
expand in Griffin.
The plant manufactures polo shirts, tee
shirts and briefs for men and boys. We join
the Chamber of Commerce and other civic
types in welcoming their expansion and
what we consider as their wise decision to
grow with Griffin:
Unfair
unfair to single out Georgia and a handful
of other states and are glad that he made
this point, aren’t you?
pionship.
That’s not bad for a team in a rebuilding
year. The experts now are forced to
recognize Griffin as one of the state’s best.
No one gave Griffin anything. They
earned their 9-2 record by defeating
Jonesboro, R. E. Lee, LaGrange, Newnan
and North Clayton when those teams were
at their very best.
Win or lose tonight, the Bears have
proven they belong among the state’s elite
whether the experts like it or not
because it is necessary in order to get His
work done. Even the little band of Jesus’
disciples had a common treasury to
provide for their needs. Do not say that
your little amount would not count. We
never know what effects our giving may
have, because God can take even the
smallest gift and use if for His glory. I
believe also that God will bless us when we
give. As the Living Bible paraphrases
Malachi 3:10: “Bring all the tithes into the
storehouse so that there will be food
enough in my Temple; if you do, I will open
the windows of heaven for you and pour out
a blessing so great you won’t have room
enough to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it
to you!”
Remember that all you have has been
given to you by God anyway. And
remember above all else that God does not
simply want to be Lord of our money. He
most of all wants to be Lord of every area
of our lives.

Massacre shuffle
a breath of air?
By Ray Cromley
WASHINGTON — (NEA) — Forget, for the moment what
President Ford's Halloween reshuffle may or may not do for
him at next year's Republican Presidential convention and in
the November election
The shifts, maladroit in execution and damaging to some
very able men. may. nevertheless, four years from now. be a
boon to the candidate-hungry Republican party, so frequently
doomed to nominating unknowns.
As a minority party in voter registration, in the U.S. Senate
and House and in the governor s mansions. Republicans have
a most difficult time in running candidates with well
spotlighted proven records in high posts, whose names are
household words
Politically, Washington can be a first-rate training ground,
furnishing a platform in which able men can make themselves
known nationwide -a boon for those who look forward to run
ning for the Senate or House, for a governorship, state
legislature seat, or for vice president or president of the
United States at some time in their lives.
A party failing of recent Republican presidents — both Mr.
Eisenhower and Mr. Nixon — much complained about in GOP
ranks, is that these two men did little during their terms of of
fice to develop able younger men, put them into positions of
prominence where they could gain the public recognition
necessary to win tough future campaigns.
To a marked degree, the record shows, both Mr
Eisenhower and Mr Nixon brought in nonpolitical types not
likely to have strong party or elective posts after leaving their
posts in the Eisenhower or Nixon administrations
However damaging otherwise his recent shuffle. Mr Ford,
has wittingly or unwittingly, brought to the fore a stable of
relatively young men.
In the same shifts, he has eliminated men with no great
political potential in the next decade
Nelson Rockefeller, for all his charm and ability, will be too
old in 1980 to have much of a future as a candidate for elective
office.
James Schlesinger and William Colby, men of extremely
great talent, have thus far shown no interest in running for any
elective post and no one to my knowledge has talked seriously
of their entering the field.
George Bush. Donald Rumsfeld and Elliott Richardson have
their political futures before them. All three have shown con
siderable ability as candidates. All three have recently been
somewhat away from the public eye. Richardson and Bush as
ambassadors, and Rumsfeld as Mr Ford's exec in the White
House. These are not posts designed to build public
reputations.
But three posts are a drop in the bucket. There are 12 to 15
other major positions which, if given to men with outstanding
political prospects, could make a major difference in some
key elections in 1978. 1980. 1982 and further down the pike.
State, Treasury, Agriculture come readily to mind
What Mr. Ford will do further on changing men and
programs, however, is not clear. Historically, he's been a slow
starter, then, when warmed up, a hard charger.
But it is a good bet that Mr. Ford's nominee for Vice Presi
dent will be one of the three he’s just put in new posts, or some
other promising relatively young man as far as high officials
go.
