Females were
more durable
That eminent family physician Dr. Joseph Peck noted: "In
the small towns of an earlier day when automobile wrecks
were not so commonplace, everybody on the street would fol
low the ambulance to the doctor's office. I made a rule that all
the men should go outdoors before they fainted, and all the fe
males handy should put on gowns and get busy helping me
clean up the mess. The female is much more durable than the
male in gory situations."
Blind people who smoke cigarettes rarely inhale, it's re
ported. And they tend to smoke far more rapidly than do
sighted smokers.
No, ordinary dandruff isn't contagious, not at all.
Q. "Which of England's kings had leprosy?"
A. The leper kings were Henry 111 and Henry IV. The
famous Robert Bruce of Scotland was a leper, too,
incidentally.
There was this great block of marble. Inside it was an ex
quisite statue. All the sculptor had to do was chip away the
little pieces which concealed the interior figure. Such was how
Michelangelo explained his technique in carving his master
piece "Night".
That liquor drinker with a real problem rarely reveals how
much booze he actually puts away. So if you find yourself on
the morning-after announcing to the world the number of
drinks you polished off the night before, that's a sign you're
probably not a confirmed alcoholic. Or so says a medical
specialist on addictions.
TO QUIET CHILDREN.
That dentist who wants to keep small children quiet in the
chair ought to set up a movie projector to show cartoons on
the ceiling, suggests a savvy Pennsylvanian.
Young fellow, would you care to retire at age 38? If you're
14 years old now, that may not be too unlikely. Some experts
predict the average man will retire at age 38 by the year 2,000.
It's difficult to account for the fact that the divorce rate is
lower among lady schoolteachers than among just about any .
other group of professional women.
Used to be the sawyers only could turn about half of the
log into usable lumber. But now they've come up with a new
kind of wooden board. It's a ply of solid wood facings sand
wiched around bark-and-wood sawdust bonded stiff with glue.
Supposed to be a lot toughter than conventional boards.
Doesn't warp as much, either. But what's particularly snazzy
about it is it uses up more than 90 per cent of the log.
Q. "How much water per week does my vegetable garden
need?"
A. An inch. Whether by rainfall or by sprinklers. That's the
contention of the good growers.
LOST GOLF BALLS
Young fellow, if you want to pick up a little extra income,
train your pup to sniff out lost golf balls. Dogs are good at
that. You toss a few golf balls into high grass, and everytime
the pooch brings one back to you, you reward it with a bite of
this or that. Pretty soon you can take your daily walk around
the local golf course. Odds are you will turn up enough golf
balls, which can be cashed in at the pro shop, to pay for the
dogfood and then some.
One out of every 10 supermarket shoplifters is a youngster
not yet 12 years old. The little boys outnumber the little girls
in this reckoning by two to one, incidentally.

One of the casualties of the
Revolutionary War in the
week following July 4. 1776
was the two-ton statue of a
scepter-wielding, toga-robed
King George HI at New
York’s Bowling Green. The
gold-leafed lead statue, in
stalled six years before to
symbolize a “deep sense of
the eminent and singular
benefits received” from the
King, was pulled down and
hacked up by a drunken crowd
of patriots after the official
reading of the Declaration of
Independence. The pieces
were carted off to Connecticut
and melted down to provide
badly needed ammunition for
the war. The World Almanac

Wagons ho!
Visit of the wagon train to Griffin and
other places in this part of Georgia was a
real highlight of the Bicentennial and we
are grateful that it came our way.
The plodding horses and mules required
hours instead of minutes to reach Griffin
from Brooks, and a similarly elongated
period to get to McDonough from here.
This emphasized the slower pace and
tempo of the horse and buggy days in
contrast to the speed of travel today.
Also it emphasized some other .things.
One is that before the automobile Georgia
required a lot more county seats than it
does now. That is one reason we have 159

It is natural to hate to have to pay, to

foot the bills for programs many disap
prove, to pay through the nose for waste
and inefficiency.
All those, though, are but one side of the
coin. The other is the great privilege of

most people are able to make enough

Six weeks to go
Local students began enjoying the
Easter holidays today and the end of the
term is drawing near. Last day of Griffin-
Spalding schools this quarter is May 28
which is only six weeks from tomorrow.
It seems to us that the year has been a
good one, and the last six weeks ought to be
the best. After then things change a lot for
Who performed
the first marriage?
DEAR DR. GRAHAM: Please tell me
what is the history of marriage, and what
minister or rabbi would have performed
the first marriage. —J.P.D.
Dear J.P.D.: The first marriage was
ordained by God. The idea is almost as old
as creation, for as early as the second
chapter of Genesis it is stated: “A man
leaves his father and his mother and
cleaves to his wife, and they become one
flesh” (verse 24, Revised Standard Ver
sion). Marriage can be seen as all part of
God’s original plan in creation, in that He
made the first humans male and female.
The first marriages would have taken
place simply by the coming together of a
man and a woman to live in union, without
any religious ceremony or any legal for
malities to complete. It later became an
occasion for celebration and thanksgiving,
and so a wedding feast was held. Christ
attended such a feast and performed His
first miracle there (John 2).
Wedding services were introduced as
people sought God’s blessing upon their
counties in the state instead of perhaps a
hundred or less. It was desirable when
transportation was four-legged or by
shank’s mare (walking yourself) to be able
to reach the county seat from home and
get back before dark. Distances were so
much greater in time though they are the
same today when measured by miles.
In some ways we in Georgia and in the
nation still are living in horse and buggy
days, but change is inevitable, just as it is
inevitable that many of us resist it.
Be this as it may, Griffin enjoyed the
wagon train.
Tax time
would shake apathy and do so — elect
public officials who will eliminate the
waste, the inefficiency, change the wor
thless programs. Finally, what blessings
we enjoy in this most prosperous of nations
whose people have more of the good things
of life, more liberty, more self
determination than any place else.
So even as we fuss about paying our
share of what it takes to run what we do not
like about our government, how fortunate
we are to be able to pay for those things we
do approve, and especially for the
privilege of openly working to change and
eliminate that which we do not.
families as well as the students them
selves. Traditionally it is vacation time
and most everybody looks forward to one
in the summer months. A good finish of the
final six weeks will make the holidays even
more enjoyable, the days in the sun
happier, and next year’s school work more
interesting.
unions, and desired to make their
promises to one another in God’s name.
Such services also helped to emphasize the
solemnity of marriage and the seriousness
of the marriage vows. Christ taught that a
union, once made, should not be broken:
“What therefore God has joined together,
let not man put asunder” (Mark 10:9,
Revised Standard Version). The teaching
of Paul still, further added to the
seriousness of this step as he likened it to
the union between Christ and the Church:
“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ
loved the church and gave himself up for
her” (Ephesians 5:25, Revised Standard
Version).
Now there are legal obligations attached
to marriage which stipulate the wording of
the promises made by the bride and
groom. The important thing to remember
is that marriage was ordained by God, and
not by man, and is a picture of the union
that exists between Christ and His Church.
It is clearly not something to be entered
into lightly or without due awareness of all
that it signifies in the eyes of God.

FAYETTE COUNTY NEWS
By Quimby Melton
It seems as if they are turning the honest ones into
crooks. We are talking about Washington politics. Let’s
look for a moment at the Howard “Bo” Callaway incident
and how he flirted with the political life for a short while.
Callaway, as you remember has had a long state
political career. He even ran for Governor in the state and
won by popular vote but because of the number of write in
votes from that election he didn’t have a clear 50 per cent
margin. Lester “The Jester” Maddox was elected by the
General Assembly shortly thereafter, thus Callaway was
denied the highest office in the state.
This did not stop this eager man however. Callaway
then turned back to his personal business. Later he was
wooed back into politics and became the Secretary of the
Army. Callaway resigned this post to become President
Ford’s campaign manager. This honest man, a few weeks
ago, was railroaded out of office by allegations created by
the national electronic news media, namely NBC T.V.
Seemingly at odds with personal business and
governmental issues and the running of the President’s
campaign, Callaway once again stepped down. We
respect this man for realizing the touchy situation he was
putting others into and we think he represents the true
Southern Gentleman with his actions.
It is a sad day when they take some of our honest men,
those who could help the government and us so well with
their decisions, and turn them into what they are not,
crooks. The media and the “politicians” in Washington
should feel proud of themselves. They once again have
taken one of our finest and put a mark on their brow.
"If there be any truer
measure of a man than by
what he does, it must be by
what he gives.” — Robert
South, English poet.
“Grant us brotherhood, not
only for this day but for all our
years —a brotherhood not of
words but of acts and deeds.”
— Stephen Vincent Benet,
American poet.
