A barrel full of
rum, lime, sugar
In 1898, some bigwigs developed an iron ore mine outside
of Santiago, Cuba. Next to the entrance, they set up a barrel
filled with rum, lime juice, sugar and ice, so each of the miners
at day's end could down a glassful before heading home. While
on an inspection tour, Bethlehem Steel's President Charles M.
Schwab took a sip of the concoction, liked it, and carried the
recipe home. His subsequent house guests liked it, too. And
when they asked him what it was called, he named it most
spontaneously in honor of that Cuban iron mine, the Daiquiri.
At what age does a women reach the apex of her beauty?
Argument continues as to that. But surveys repeatedly have
shown that the majority of people think the peak of pulchri
tude comes at about age 30.
And to that lengthening list of never-die one-liners, add:
"Old bakers never die, they're just not kneaded anymore."
SLOT MACHINES
Q. "Do the manufacturers of those slot machines called
one-armed bandits make any other devices not for gambling?"
A. Do indeed. Postage stamp dispensers. Gum ball and
candy venders. Automatic money changers.
The most experienced range cooks of the Old West's cattle
country also were some of the most experienced scouts. Why
is because they always took off ahead of the herd so the
evening meal would be waiting for the drovers at the next
grazing spot.
List, too, that fellow named John Aikenhead, who sells
aspirin at a drugstore in Santa Monica, Calif., among the more
recent nominees for membership in the Proper Job Club.
THEATER MARQUEES
What's needed around here on theater marquees is a little
imagination. That's what I said. Example: "Earthquake" and
"The Towering Inferno" would be a double feature that could
be billed as "Shake and Bake." Clients suggest these, too:
"The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea" and "The Man
Who Fell to Earth" could be billed as "Two Falls Out of
Three." Also: "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing” and "Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof" could be billed as "Here, Kitty, Kitty!"
Plus: "The Shootist" and "Bambi" could be billed as "The
Buck Stops Here." Further: "Blackbird" and "Shampoo"
could be billed as "Birdbath."

Here in Spalding County the nationwide
swine flu vaccine program probably was
more successful than most other places.
Here, 5,490 people got shots when they
were given earlier this month.
Reports from across the nation are
much less favorable.
Confusion about the seriousness of the
potential flu outbreak, unjustified fears
about side-effects from the vaccine,
lateness in the delivery of the vaccine —
these and other factors conspired to
reduce participation by the public.
Finally, there is now a reported shortage
of the type of vaccine that can be given to

Here is something else you can do with a

If you’re short on firewood this winter,
take a tip from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture which says newspaper, string
and a drop of detergent are all you need to
make “logs” that burn for hours. Here’s
how.
Roll layers of newspaper around a
broomstick as tightly as possible. Keep
rolling till the log is as thick and as long as
you want. Then tie off the ends with wire or
string and remove the broomstick.
You can bum the logs right away or

During the presidential campaign
Jimmy Carter attacked Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger for what he termed his
“Lone Ranger” approach in the foreign
policy field.
But an aide to the president-elect says
Carter would have no hesitancy in calling
on Kissinger for some special diplomatic
assignment once he moves into the White
House. Carter himself also reflected a
change in approach at a recent meeting
with Kissinger when he referred to him as
“My good friend.”
From where we sit, this appears to be no
less than it should. As a candidate, J.
Carter of Plains had every right and
‘I want people
to like me’
DEAR DR. GRAHAM: 1 am so
desperately lonely, and it seems that I
often compromise my convictions and do
things I shouldn’t, because I want people to
like me so I won’t be lonely. I would do
almost anything to get rid of my
loneliness. — C.C.H.
DEAR C.C.H.: First of all, I would like
to remind you that everyone experiences
loneliness at one time or another.
Throughout the ages God’s people have
been lonely, but never completely alone.
The Psalmist said, “I watch, and am as a
sparrow alone upon the house top”
(Psalms 102:7). Daniel was alone in the
lions’ den after remaining faithful to God.
Esther was alone when she went before the
king to rescue her people. The Apostle
Paul suffered solitary confinement in
prison for preaching the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. John spent many lonely years on
Patmos, but it was there he wrote the Book
of the Revelation. And, of course, our Lord
Jesus Christ was more lonely than anyone
when He hung on the cross for our sins and
even His Father could not look on Him.
But since Jesus' ascension, we have God
those in the younger age bracket.
What the program will accomplish in
reducing the incidence of flu remains to be
seen. It is evident enough already, though,
that our federal system is not a model of
efficiency when it comes to mounting a
nation-wide public health effort. While
doctors pursue their study of the flu virus,
the government should be studying its own
record in this program to see where the
mistakes were made.
The nation may have to react in the
future to a health emergency more clearly
defined, and we’ll be in trouble if the ex
perience this year is the best we can do.
improve you product further. To reduce
the amount of fly ash, add a tablespoon of
detergent to a tub of water and soak the
logs overnight.
Next day, fish out the logs and knead
them with your fingers. This makes them
more compact and longer-burning. Dry
the logs for several weeks before you put
them to use.
To the USDA tip we add only this:
Making firewood is one way to enjoy a red

not!
reason to criticize Mr. Kissinger; as
President of the United States, he has
every obligation to use the knowledge,
skills and abilities which Kissinger has
accumulated in one of the nation’s most
inportant positions.
Foreign powers wherever they may be
must keep this fact in mind: Before the
presidential elections, we were partisans
splintered between individual candidates
and political parties; after them, we are
Americans. It is as simple as that. So the
president-elect’s willingness to use
Kissinger and Kissinger’s willingness to
serve his country should surprise no one.
MY
rW ANSWER
J
the Holy Spirit as our constant companion
and comfort. So, although we sometimes
face loneliness, no real Christian is ever
totally alone. Remember that when God is
with you, you are never alone!
This does not mean that we do not long
for human companionship and friendship.
In our great desire to be loved and liked,
we often sacrifice what is genuine for the
counterfeit. You touched on this when you
admitted compromising your convictions
in order to be accepted.
I gather that you have a personal faith in
Jesus as Saviour, but He must also be Lord
of every area of your life before you will
find fulfillment. Only God can satisfy your
deepest longings. He has said, "Be ye not
unequally yoked together with un
believers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with
darkness?” (II Corinthians 6:14).
Obey God’s commands and leave the
results to Him. Also remember: “A man
that hath friends must shew himself
friendly” (Proverbs 18:24). Let God rule
your heart and your relationships.

“Have you ever considered getting in touch
with ‘workaholics anonymous’?"
Ray Cromley
Carter was smart
to ask for advice
By Ray Cromley
WASHINGTON — (NEA) Under the umbrella of his transi
tion team, set up last August, candidate Jimmy Carter
operated one of the most effective strategies for winning over
strategically placed personalities that I’ve seen in a half
dozen presidential elections.
This team, preparing for a Carter Administration months
before it was clear there would be a Carter Administration,
was assigned a small-scale budget of $140,000 out of scarce
campaign funds and sought position papers and written advice
from several thousand influential citizens nationwide on what
a Carter Administration’s policies should be.
Now there is nothing more flattering to a man or woman,
however prominent, to be asked his views on a major national
issue by the presidential nominee of a major political party.
And when that candidate asks for a five to eight-page written
proposal on a matter with which you are deeply concerned, the
flattery is most compelling.
I know one prominent man, active at high levels in a succes
sion of Republican and Democratic administrations — with a
philosophy roughly 180 degrees from Mr. Carter’s — who
became a convert after being asked to submit his thoughts,
though he had no assurance his advice would be followed. This
man knew, in fact, that the overwhelming advice on the sub
ject in which he is expert was being sought from those with
views radically different from his own.
The unstated implication, though repeatedly denied, was
that having been asked for advice, the adviser would then
eventually be considered for a top-level position in a Carter
Administration, assuming a Democratic victory.
I understand, in fact, that between a thousand and two thou
sand of those solicited did in fact submit written opinions on
subjects like government reorganization, business, labor and
regulatory agency problems, defense, foreign affairs, in
telligence activities, inflation and unemployment.
Now a few thousand men and women are but slightly more
than a droplet in a national election. But they can be highly in
fluential all the same if carefully chosen from among those
who hold leadership positions in labor and finance, religious
and minority groups, academic and agricultural circles, and
in other circles where Mr. Carter needed votes to secure a vic
tory
With key men and women of influence being drawn into the
circle, however obliquely — and however small their actual
weight in Mr. Carter’s plans — the word gets around. And
much more effectively than through radio, TV, speeches and
other standard campaign techniques What’s created is an
aura of reflected prestige and competence gleaned from the
reputations of those he’s asked for advice and counsel.
There is every indication in the weeks since Nov. 2 that Mr
Carter, as president, will use this or similar techniques in his
attempts to get Congress to go along with him in carrying out
his aims Senators and Representatives love, above all, to be
listened to by anyone, particularly a President.
The Carter transition team was effectively run. as is now
well known, by young Jack Watson, former Georgia govern
ment official. Harvard law school graduate, born in El Paso,
Texas, raised in Pine Bluff. Arkansas, and a team carefully
selected to include 12 to 14 per cent blacks and 38 per cent
women, mostly aged 30 to 40
