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?

Editorials From other newspapers 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 “1 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). While God may providentially answer ★ 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. — Jimmy Carter Presidential Campaign Issues Summary \ * 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. MY ANSWER b- Berry’s World . and any loss of the audio during this debate, we're pretty sure, will be the fault of your sets!" * iWr A By Don Oakley Don Oakley 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. < NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN I SIDE GLANCES by Gill Fox tail / J IZbMv Mb I KT J® /. / l I \ QH76MO Inc TM «« US Nt OT “. . . and these are some of my forepersons!” DAILY Quimby Melton, Jr., Editor and Publisher Cary Reeves, General Manager M la* An Santa UH.
