Does matrimony
change a man? Bhj
Ambitious brides can change their husbands' personalities
only if those husbands are under 28 years of age. Or so says
one matrimonial specialist. "Most men get set in their ways by
then," he avers. Our Love and War man does not concur. He
says most bridegrooms change their ways to one degree or
another as soon as they marry, no matter at what age. He cites
the case of a widower who gave up cigars, hard liquor and
Monday night football when he remarried at age 73. For the
first time in his life, he did divided duty with his bride on the
interior household chores, taking on the toast making, the dish
washing and the floor sweeping. And instead of getting up
every dawn at five o'clock as he'd done for years, he thence
forward remained abed daily until almost noon, devoting the
last several morning hours to coy dialogue, The Hollywood
Squares and some of the more romantic tapes of Kris
Kristofferson.
PET FOOD
Q. "What do the pet food people mean when they talk
about the four D's?"
A. Refers to meat from animals that are dead, dying,
diseased or disabled. Odd you'd hear any pet food people use
the expression, though. It's a Department of Agriculture
phrase. Please note, not all the meat and meat byproducts in
pet food should be so described. For instance, I understand
Ken-L Ration, for one, relies rather on low-grade federally
inspected meats. Also, it makes little difference to the pet
whether the meat is Four-D or otherwise. It's processed at
such hiqh temperatures that there's no danger in it.

Deadlock
Due to the deadlock, Louis Goldstein
who under law cannot succeed himself
continues as Mayor of Griffin.
Actually, he is not succeeding himself
but continuing in office under provision of
law which requires him to do so until his
successor is elected and qualified. This is a
common provision for officeholders in
Georgia and runs all the way through the
Governorship. One recalls that Carl
Sanders continued as Governor even after
normal expiration of his term until the
legislature had decided between tester
Maddox and Howard Callaway as his
successor. In doing so he fulfilled the

Kerlin who reports the happenings of Pine

So here are three of her latest:

running out them.”

Golden anniversary
Your couples tying the matrimonial knot
today have a better than 3 out of 10 chance
of living long enough to celebrate their
golden wedding anniversary.
According to the American Council of
Life Insurance, the odds for a 23-year-old
man and 21-year-old woman (the current
median ages for first marriage) surviving
50 years of marriage have climbed from
140 per 1,000 marriages 75 years ago to 334
today.
The not-so-good news is that more and
more people are divorcing long before they
reach the golden landmark. The national
divorce rate has tripled during the past 50
years.
Yet because most people who divorce
marry again—7s percent of the women and
80 percent of the men do—the prospects of
It is impossible answer

DEAR DR. GRAHAM: Was the Lord
telling Samuel to lie in I Samuel
Samuel was going to anoint David as king,
but the Lord told him to say that he was
going to offer a sacrifice. Was this not a
deception to protect Samuel from any
attack by Saul? —A.T.J.
DEAR A. T. J.: When considering any
problem passage in the Bible we must
always keep a clear picture in our minds of
what we know about God. For instance,
our understanding of God is such that we
know it is impossible for Him to sin. It is
therefore out of the question that He might
encourage anyone to sin by telling a lie.
God is a perfect, supreme Being. He is
unique. If there was any imperfection in
the character of person of God, He would
not be God. Let us never allow a thought to
come into our minds that could ever lessen
obligation of his oath of office.
So there is nothing wrong that we can see
with Mayor Goldstein continuing as Mayor
until the deadlock is resolved.
It is interesting to note that the strongest
power to emerge from it all is the newest
member of the City Commission, Dick
Mullins. As long as Commissioners Tiggy
Jones and Skeeter Norsworthy stick
together like peanut butter and jam on one
side and Louis Goldstein and Raymond
Head likewise on the other, Commissioner
Mullins holds the balance of power.
Judging from the vote Tuesday night
which resulted in the deadlock, he knows
how to use it effectively.
that you may die laughing at people who
think they have just hit on a new idea.”
Finally, “It’s not good for all your
wishes to be filled. Through sickness you

the value of good; through hunger,
satisfaction; through exertion the value of
rest.”
Thank you, Mrs. Kerlin.

For example, the chances of a 35-yeai

the turn of the century.
And a couple marrying at age 65 toda

In this case you need to know if it was tl
custom to offer sacrifices when a new kir
was anointed to office. In I Samuel 11:15
says that when Saul was made king “tht
sacrificed sacrifices of peace offering
before the Lord.” It would therefoi
appear that this was the normal custon
Samuel was speaking the truth when t
said he had come to offer a sacrifice — i

could be no true anointing without

and play sometime!"

Has Carter picked
another Kissinger?
By Ray Cromley
WASHINGTON - (NEA) - In picking Zbigniew Brzezinski
to be his national security adviser, President-elect Carter
may be ousting one Kissinger — only to acquire another
Kissinger of his own.
Not that Brzezinski and Kissinger agree on much of
anything They don’t. Or that Brzezinski will spend his time
plane-hopping from capital to capital as a one-man fire
brigade. He probably won’t.
But both are supreme egoists who find their own ideas com
pelling Both attempt to overwhelm listeners with their
rhetoric. Both love the grand picture, are bored with the gritty
details. . .. ,
An old acquaintance says of Brzezinski the packaging of
his ideas often exceeds the value of the product.” The same
could be said of Kissinger.
Former Secretary of State Dean Acheson reportedly once
said he had squeezed Brzezinski and found him dry.
One time Washington associates believe that, like
Kissinger, Brzezinski in the White House will attempt intellec
tually, perhaps unconsciously, to dominate with the State
Department and Pentagon.
He has said this will not be so. But in March, 1975, in New
York Magazine, Brzezinski wrote: ‘We desperately need a
supra-departmental integration of our global policy. It is im
possible to conduct such a policy from the vantage point of the
Treasury or the State Department. We need not only a vir
tuoso in charge of our foreign policy; we need a conductor who
can orchestrate the symphonic effort. The logical place to
locate such an instrument for integrating our global policy
would be the vice-presidency.”
Since Vice Presidents have no power of themselves, the
strength would thereby be concentrated in the hands of the
White House adviser — who it now turns out will be Brzezinski
The new national security adviser has his own ideas about
foreign policy, ideas which he is not at all shy about express
ing, emotionally and at length. In the past, it has been difficult
to slow this articulate, passionate crusader down when obsess
ed with a policy proposal, even when he was a junior in the
Department of State with negligible influence.
Now, of course, Brzezinski will have influence. Thus his con
cepts are worth looking at in some detail. Luckily these are
available rather recently in 1975 articles he prepared for
Commentary, New York Magazine and elsewhere.
Item — “ ... it would be advisable and timely for the
United States to spell out openly what it considers to be the
general outlines of a desirable (Israeli-Arab) settlement and
to indicate that (we) would be prepared to guarantee it.”
Brzezinski believes the importance of U.S.-Soviet relations
has declined It is our preoccupation with Moscow, he says,
which has allowed our relationships with the developing world
to deteriorate — enabling the Kremlin to gain influence at our
expense.
What’s now of great importance, he stresses, is our
relationship with the developing world. As a starter, he wants
us to push for greater voting rights in the World Bank, the
International Monetary Fund and in other economic bodies for
the oil rich nations. He would encourage greater investments
by the oil producers in the U.S. to create “more cooperative
links” and to generate “restraints against their unilateral ac
tion.”
Brzezinski is by no means a soft liner. He believes “we must
... try to exercise whatever leverage we have . . . including
food, to obtain greater cooperation from other major powers”
in dealing with global problems.
He would also seem to be no advocate of penny pinching on
arms. In view of the fact that “the Soviet Union is making
enormous efforts to increase its (military) power,” says
Brzezinski, “we simply cannot abandon continued efforts to
maintain military security (great enough to insure) American
safety . . . (and) also the safety and independence of our allies
and friends, be they Western Europe, Japan or Israel.”
