In money matters
men trust women
Who do you think manage money better, women or men?
When the surveytakers undertook a study of that query. 34
per cent of the men said women do, but only 33 per cent said
men do. Among the women asked, though, 52 per cent said
women do, while only 16 per cent said men do. Clearly, the
poll suggests men have more faith in women than women
have in men when it comes to money matters.
As he lay dying at age 78, the French painter Renoir said,
“What a pity I should have to go now just when I was begin
ning to show promise!"
So nimble is the octopus that it can pass a pebble from one
sucker to the next all the way down the length of any of its
arms.
WAGON TRAINS
Q. "How fast did the Old West wagon trains move?"
A. About a mile or two an hour. Figure 100 miles in a
seven day week. In those times there were no Sundays west
of Omaha.
Researchers say single men and woman take a lot more time
off their jobs than do husbands and wives.
Infants in Bali are not often laid down, even when they're
asleep. Their mothers carry them in net bags slung around the
neck and supported on the hip. Their older sisters carry them,
too. A widely traveled correspondent reports some of those
girls as young as 8 years of age play running games like tag
with babies in nets on their backs.
SPIDERS
A spider inherits the characteristic style of the web it spins.
The pattern of its first small web when young will be exactly
the same as the pattern of its later larger web when old. And
while two spiders of the same species may spin similar webs,
no two different species spin the same pattern.
What sort of present did you get on your eighth Christmas?
Little Mary Martin of stage, screen, etc., got a pair of boxing
gloves Story is she promptly knocked out the two front teeth
of a neighborhood lad, then hung them up forevermore.
Maybe you didn't realize you can train a pet otter to catch
fish for you.

had a march of their own —
across the colony from the
coast to Augusta following the
British capture of Savannah,
Oct 9, 1779. The British cam

occupation that left countless
dead, both military and
civilian. The World Almanac

Crime Rate Slows In Dixie
The Free Press (Thomaston)
In recent years there has been very little
good news on crime statistics. There are
signs however we may be in for a change.
At least in the South. Tuesday the FBI
reported violent crime in the South dropped
11 per cent during the first six months of
1976. Nationally the drop was 6 per cent.
The bureau says that is the first significant
change in the crime pattern in 15 years.
THE FBI figures for the South show
homicides down 16 per cent, robberies
down 21 per cent, assaults off 4 per cent,
burglaries and auto thefts down 12 and 13
per cent respectively.
Those figures are encouraging but the
news from FBI is not all good. A surge in
larcenies kept the total crime rate above
the same six-month period of last year.
The national increase in over-all crime was
3 per cent and over all crime went up 1 per
cent in the South.
That shows there still is a big job to be
done but the fact a drop in violent crime has

Gerald Ford
“I have always believed that the con
stitutional right of equality must be
protected by the courts of the land and by
all other public officials. On the other
hand, I do not believe that court-ordered,
forced busing to achieve racial balance
is the right way to get quality education.
“We have ample evidence that in those
instances where it has been applied. . .
there has not been an increase in quality
education It is my belief that there is a
better way to improve educational op
portunities and. at the same time, to im
prove the integration of our society."
— From a news conference in Milwaukee. Wise , 4/2/76
“I believe that quality education can
be enhanced by better school facilities,
lower pupil-teacher ratios, the improve
ment of neighborhoods and possibly by
other alternatives."
— Interview in Boston Herald American. 2/4/76
Does God hear
nonbelievers?
DEAR DR. GRAHAM: I would like to
know if you think God hears the prayers of
people who are nonbelievers. —C.T.
DEAR C. T.: While prayer is the special
privilege of the child of God, there are
prayers recorded in the Bible by those who
were not his children, such as the prayer of
the thief on the cross, who prayed, “Lord,
remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom" (Luke 23:42).
There also is the prayer of the publican,
who prayed simply”...God be merciful to
me a sinner” (Luke 18:13).

Nunn Legislation
THE MACON TELEGRAPH
U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn of Perry is
successfully promoting legislation to make
federal agencies accountable for their
actions.
With co-sponsor Sen. Edmund Muskie,
Nunn has proposed a bill that would place
funding for every federal agency on a
staggered schedule over the next five
years, with Congress reviewing each
agency’s performance before authorizing
more financial support. Nunn specifically
proposed that the economic impact and
paperwork load of each agency come under
the congressional scrutiny. The bill was
unanimously approved recently by the
Senate Government Operations Commit
ec.
This "sunset” legislation is the most
effective way possible to unclog the
Washington machine.
How they stand
On
busing
been brought about shows the job can be
done. There is much speculation on how
the job is being done and how it should be
done. Often mentioned as effective
crimefighters are better trained officers,
increased crime prevention efforts and a
growing public concern.
All three are interrelated and crucial in
our fight to continue lowering the violent
crime rate and in cutting the over-all rate.
Well-trained officers rely heavily on crime
prevention, which depends greatly on
concerned people who cooperate with
police before during and after a crime.
IMPORTANT for police officials to
remember is the fact that training includes
more than just learning to fire weapons and
learning when not to fire. Training also
includes human relations work, gaining
and keeping the trust of the citizenry.
In Atlanta we have made great strides in
that area in recent months. Now is the time
to work on insuring we never go backward.
Jimmy Carter
"I do not support mandatory busing. I
do support voluntary transfers. I do see a
need, which I would honor, for the Presi
dent to support the federal courts. If the
courts should rule differently from my
own personal beliefs, of course I would
support (them). I do not favor a con
stitutional amendment to prohibit bus
ing.
"Ultimately I think the best solution is
voluntary transfers for students who
want them, and adequate representation
of minority leaders in the administration
of a school system."
— Interview in U S News & World Report. 5/24/76
“Carter favors a four point plan which
was implemented during his administra
tion in Atlanta and agreed upon by the
NAACP and the SCLC: 1) Any child who
wishes to be bused can be bused at public
expense; 2) no child can be bused against
the wishes of the child; 3) busing must
contribute to increased integration; 4)
black leaders must be represented at all
levels in the decision making process of
the school system.

* M 11
the prayer of a non-Christian, it appears in
the Bible that the prayers of those who are
non-Christians are calls upon God for
mercy and acceptance. You could pray
such a prayer with the assurance of an
answer. Jesus said: “Him that cometh to
me I will in no wise cast out" (John 6:37).
Be assured that as you pray, confessing
your sin and accepting the Lord Jesus
Christ as your Savior, He will accept you
and make you His child. However, if one’s
only purpose in prayer is to relieve the
mind of problems and secure benefits, I
doubt if such praying will ever be
satisfactory or effective.

Chance and the
lowly lieutenant
Information expected to be learned from the Mig-25 jet that
was flown to Japan by a defecting Russian Lieutenant could
have a major effect on Western defense planning, according to
one source.
If so, it is one more illustration of the role of chance and ac
cident in history, and especially of the imponderable and un
foreseeable human factor.
The best intelligence brains in the West could have worked
for years and have spent millions trying to ferret out the Mig’s
secrets by conventional espionage methods and have succeed
ed in obtaining only bits and pieces of them Now. literally out
of the blue, Russia's most advanced fighter plane has been
dumped into their laps intact simply because one lowly lieute
nant got fed up with the regime he lived under.
Unfortunately, chance, accident and the unforeseeable can
work both ways, and have.
We remember the British scientists Alan Nunn May and
Klaus Fuchs, who in the late 1940 s turned over atomic secrets
of incalculable value to the Soviets before they were caught
Here again was the unpredictable human factor at work,
changing history— but with far less happy consequences for
the free world than the case of the gift-wrapped Mig.
Crime is good business
Crime pays —for those companies in the business of trying
to prevent crime, anyway.
Spending by the private sector of the economy for protective
services, deterrent and monitoring equipment and fire control
equipment will more than triple to >l3 billion by 1990, predicts
Predicast. Inc., a Cleveland, Ohio, business information and
research firm.
Protective services will account for the greatest growth,
with revenues approaching $6 billion by 1990, it says. By that
year, more than $2 5 billion will be spent on guard services
alone, with over 40 per cent of industry utilizing outside
guards
Latest in tin hats
For the third time in this century, America's fighting men
are being equipped with new “tin hats," reports the National
Geographic Society.
The first was in World War I when American Doughboys
adopted the flat-brimmed steel helmets worn by British Tom
mies. World War II saw the emergence of the familiar GI
helmet, which in addition to its primary purpose came in so
handy for cooking and washing and emergency digging.
The new helmet isn't made of metal, however, but of a
plastic that Army researchers say is lighter, stronger and
more comfortable than any of its forerunners In another
departure from its one-size-fits-all predecessor, it will come
in small, medium and large.
Also of interest is the fact that the new helmet bears a strik
ing resemblance to the “coal scuttle” hats worn by Kaiser
Bill's boys and Hitler's hordes, which the Germans have
always maintained offered greater protection than the
helmets used by their erstwhile opponents.
