JFe’re
Listening
Watch out
Dear We’re Listening: This letter is
written as a caution to the many people
who will use Patrick Park this summer.
Please be careful of the 15 inch high cable
that separates the main baseball field
from the parking lot.
When all the fields at the park are being
used, parking is a problem and this cable
can’t be seen all the time. This was the
case last May when my mother fell over
the cable and crushed her elbow.
We were not given any hope that she
would be able to use this arm again, but
through her faith and determination, she
how has 25 percent use of her arm. Can you
imagine the suffering and the expense of
operations, medical treatment, domestic
help, and therapy since that time for a
widow, who is retired, lives alone and is
not covered by medical insurance? The
insurance company covering the park
accepts no liability.
Since this accident, I have been more
aware of the cable and have seen children
fall over this. They seem to be more
flexible than adults.
If by reading this letter, even one person
should be prevented from another accident
of this kind, it will be worth the effort.
Sincerely, (Signed) Concerned.
P.S. If you see fit to use this letter, I
would appreciate your not printing my
name, unless you have to, as I have a job
with the local government.
The ABC Club already knows the case
and I have talked to some of their mem
bers about the cable.
NOTE: Names sometimes are withheld
upon request but will be furnished to
anyone with good reason for asking them.

Oops! I goofed
Dear Quimby: If my arithmetic is
correct, it will take 1,000 years or
30,000,000 probationers to reach the figure
quoted in a year. Hope the first is true.
I’m just taking advantage of a chance to
poke a little fun at you and prove I read
your editorials. Yours truly, (Signed)
Gordon Futral, Experiment, Ga.
RESPONSE: The above refers to an
editorial about a bill in the Legislature
which would charge probationers |5 to $lO
a month to pay for their probation costs. In
part, it said, “Presently Georgia has 30,000
probationers, and if the bill were in force
now, Georgia would collect between $l.B
and $3.6 billion.” The “billion” was in
error. It should have read “million”. Glad
to have the correction.
Pike schools
Dear Mr. Melton: The coverage of
activities within the Pike County School
System by the Griffin Daily News has been
exemplary. At no time have I found in
formation submitted to the paper by the
school system or information obtained
first hand by members of your staff to be
anything but accurate. I certainly ap
preciate the journalistic professionalism
expressed by your people and feel that you
are doing the entire area a valuable ser
vice.
I thank you for this support and in the
event I can be of service to you or mem
bers of your staff, please do not hesitate to
call on me. Sincerely, (Signed) James W.
Mullins, Superintendent
RESPONSE: Thank you, sir.
Guilt is one
product of sin
DEAR DR. GRAHAM: I heard a
pgycbolbgy teacher say recently that
religion was bad because it made people
feel guilty and that true mental health
could come only by realizing that sin and
guilt are only products of our imagination.
What do you think of this? —GJ.
Dear G. J.: I know this view is held by
some today, but it is one that is flatly
contradicted by the Bible. The Bible tells
us that God is holy and calls men to live in
accordance with His moral law. When men
do not do this, they sin against God, and
one of the products of this sin is guilt The
Bible therefore says that both sin and guilt
are realities and are not simply imagined.
The Psalmist cried to God, “Against thee,

Poll
Dear Sir: As editor of a major
newspaper in Georgia, your interests and
knowledge in current and future events
prompt me to seek your participation in a
statewide p0U....
The poll is part of my studies in business
law at Berry CoUege. When all the in
formation is obtained the results will be
compiled and formulated. A published
copy will then be put in our Center for
Economic Development.
The format of the survey is as foUows.
What do you feel are the ten most pressing
problems we as Georgians will face within
the state over the next four years? Please
feel more than free to add my possible
solutions to these problems.
As mentioned before, the conclusions
drawn from this poll will be formulated. I
have contacted the Council of State
Governments in Lexington, Kentucky for
information on the procedure they use in
dealing with all states’ problems. It is
hoped that a basic outline for a similar
council can be formulated for use in
dealing exclusively with the problems of
Georgia.
If you will be able to assist in the poll,
please address your reply to William L.
30149. If you wish to contribute, your reply
by March 1, 1976 will be deeply ap
preciated. On that date, all information
received will be organized and the studies
will begin.
Again, thank you for your time, and I
hope to hear from you in the near future.
Sincerely, (Signed) William L. Jennings,
P.O. Box 1319 Mt. Berry, Ga., 30149

send suggestions directly to Mr. Jennings.
Campus
report
Last week your editor attended the
annual Georgia Press Institute at the
University of Georgia in Athens and is
pleased to report that generally the
students looked somewhat better than they
did on the same occasion a year ago.
Hair seemed better brushed, beards
neater, jeans cleaner, eyes brighter. We
made no scientific survey, just looked
around. So this was a mere impression. We
did ask a professor what he thought, and
he said the students looked neater to him
too.
£ag£ MY
[ * W ANSWER
only, have I sinned, and done this evil in
thy sight” (Psalm 51:4).
Underlying this psychology teacher’s
ideas seems to be the assumption that
there is no such thing as moral right and
wrong. The Bible says not only that this is
an error but also that such a belief will
lead to moral anarchy.
The Bible tells us that sound mental
health does not come through denying the
reality of sin and guilt, but rather through
knowing full forgiveness of our sins, which
only Christ can bring to us. God takes sin
seriously — so seriously that He sent His
Son “in whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness of
sins” (Colossians 1:14).

reason, the ‘consumer’ has
suddenly been endowed with
omnipotent judgment on any

such restraint should affect
