Two out of every five pounds of meat sold nationwide now are some sort of hamburger. That professional outfit known as the American Optome tric Association contends those amateur athletes with the poorest vision are the football and basketball players. Costs between $6 and $9 to park your car all day in a New York City lot. Human beings and guinea pigs need foods that contain Vitamin C. A little orange juice from time to time keeps them free of scurvy, as Anita Bryant would tell you, if she were here. That is not the case with dogs, however. They do not need any orange juice, at all. They synthesize their own Vitamin C, the clever little rascals. BRIDES "You spoke of inexperienced brides who prefer to browse in supermarkets rather than shop in small grocery stores, because they don't want to be embarrassed by having to ask clerks naive questions. Don't I know it! Forty-four years ago, as a bride, I was eager to make a good impression on my husband, who was a New York City restaurant manager. So I asked the clerk in the small grocery store to suggest the even ing meal. I took it home, cooked it as recommended, and when I told my husband what it was, he almost fell out of his chair, laughing. The clerk without even a smile had called it 'a milk-fed mackerel'.''

There are 329 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On this date in 1917, Mexico became a federated republic of 28 states. On this date: In 1783, Sweden recognized the independence of the United States. In 1790, the first lawyers were admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1937, a bitter controversy began when President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed adding six new justices to the Supreme Court. In 1962, President Charles de Gaulle of France called for in dependence for Algeria. In 1971, U.S. Apollo 14 astro nauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell landed on the moon. In 1975, President Ford urged Congress to reconsider its cutoff of military aid to Turkey. Ten years ago: A huge anti- Soviet demonstration by Chi nese at the Peking airport pre vented the takeoff of a Russian plane for 6 hours. Five years ago: The United States agreed to sell Israel 42 Phantom and 90 Skyhawk jets over the next three years. One year ago: Thousands were reported killed in an earthquake in Guatemala. Thoughts “They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’, when there is no peace.” — Jeremiah 8:11. "It must be a peace without victory Only a peace between equals can last: only a peace, the very principle of which is equality, and a common par ticipation in a common benefit." — Woodrow Wilson. 28th U.S. President. Subscriptions Delivered by carrier or by mail in the counties of Spalding, Butts, Fayette, Henry, Lamar and Pike, and to military personnel and students from Griffin: 62 cents per week, $2.68 per month. $8.04 for three months, $16.07 for six months, $32.13 for 12 months. These prices include sales tax. Due to expense and uncertainty of delivery, mail subscriptions are not recommended but will be accepted outside the above area at $17.50 for three months, S3O for six months, and SSO for 12 months. If inside Georgia, sales tax must be added to these prices. All mail subscriptions must be paid at least three months in advance. Only If Applied The execution of Gary Gilmore brought capital punishment out of the pages of fable and into the ranks of reality once again. Several years ago, capital punishment ceased to be reality and was reduced to an im potent threat without meaning. In the meanwhile, very real executions of innocent victims by unrestrained criminals have continued - and in creased - without surcease. Whether Gilmore’s punishment is chalked up as an isolated incident, not repeated, or whether it signals th£ beginning of a return to sure punish ment for those who respond to no other appeal for the value of human life remains to be seen. One thing is certain: Capital punishment as a deterrent to violence and a protection of society is wor thless unless it is applied with cer- A Scout Is Loyal, Brave ... JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA The Boys Scouts of America are observing their 67th anniver sary this month and if ever an organization were deserving of our support and congratulations, this one is. Scouting is an idealistic movement that believes, by precept and example, a boy can become brave and honorable and truthful and useful as well. It has transformed many a potential January Is History Mercifully, January has ended. The coldest month in the Twentieth Century will not be soon forgotten, however. Many people identify events with the weather, and there is no doubt that the first month of 1977 will be one easily remembered. It's also the first time many of us can remember when neighbors were in danger of literally freezing to death. One gas company reported 40 families in the rural Hampton area were without heating fuel Crime in streets DEAR DR. GRAHAM: Why are people so worried about crime in the streets? I believe as a Christian that I will be protected by angels and don't need to worry. Why don't people know about this supernatural help?—Mrs. S.S. DEAR MRS. S.: It is certainly true that God provides for us. I am convinced that we actually are not aware most of the time of the special protection God gives us from physical harm. The Bible sees God’s protection over us in various ways, including through His angels. “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways” (Psalms 91:11). But this does not mean that we should neglect taking precautions against possible harm. Just as God would have us eat a balanced diet so our bodies will be strengthened against possible disease, so He would have us take all necessary precautions against something like physical attack. David, who may have written the Psalm Editorials From other newspapers Post Searchlight Bainbridge, Ga. The Henry County Weekly - Advertiser Billy Graham tainty where ordered. Critics of capital punishment have for years pointed to the increasing number of violent deaths as evidence that capital punishment is not a deterrent. At the same time, they have con veniently ignored the truth that capital punishment has not existed during that period of time. Wrath and vengeance have no place in justice, nor in capital punish ment. The surety that those who refuse to recognize the human rights of others will forfeit their own is the controlling factor, not as vengeance, but as the certain consequence of failure to conform to this basic con cept of mankind. It may indicate a failure of man to achieve respect for human life by alternative means, but society itself, not the criminal, deserves the greatest measure of mercy. delinquent into youthful service and into an adulthood where only the noblest and best virtues of life were practiced. So give a Scout a salute this week if you see one. And a word or a handshake from you might be all that is needed to inspire him to be true to his Scout oath. Tell him you know he stands for the very best of American boyhood. Which he does. last weekend. There was the case Saturday in McDonough of a family without any fuel in the house and no way at all to provide heat. The members had gotten into the bed and piled all clothing and everything possi ble on just to avoid freezing. In all things there is some good. Right now, it's difficult to find the good in the continuing cold, but maybe January 1977 was the time when we headed in a new direction to something better. I quoted above, found it necessary to flee from the threats of Saul, and to protect himself when his son Absalom led a revolt against him. The same verse was quoted by Satan when he tempted Jesus to throw himself down from the pinnacle of the temple (Matthew 4:6). Jesus, however, refused to do what Satan suggested, since Satan was distorting the meaning of the Bible. | Read the last chapter of Hebrews 11 beginning with verse 35: “And others...” Remember that the Bible tells us that Christians are not exempt from physical problems and attacks. But it also promises us that we are spiritually kept safe, regardless of what may happen to us physically. Peter and James were imprisoned in Acts 12; Peter was miraculously delivered; James was beheaded. Stephen, one of the great Christians in Acts, was stoned to death, and yet he was spiritually victorious (Acts 7:54-60). We should take all sensible precautions and leave the rest to God. /Tj LONDOI I A “We’d like to go to an OPEC country and see how the other half lives!" I Energy advice HUS contradictory Hk By Ray Cromley WASHINGTON — (NEA) —lt is now learned that most of ' the advice the nation s scientists have been giving the White House and Congress these past two years on solving the energy crunch has been so wildly contradictory and imprac tical it has been either impossible for anyone to come up with , a workable program. This in considerable measure is the reason we are today even more dangerously dependent on oil from the petroleum monopoly than at the time of the worldwide boycott — and why, energywise, we are living on borrowed time. For one, scientists could not agree on priorities. And thus it now appears that we may be throwing most of our research money into the wrong channels, and strangling areas of the greatest promise. r As one example, technical men working on pure theory saw in coal a relatively quick substitute for oil in a variety of operations. The U.S has coal in abundance. Coal liquefaction and shale oil were the talk of scientific conferences. Never » mind that coal producers said that practical production problems and high costs would make shale and liquefaction at competitive rates a long time in coming. The scientists too, in their enthusiasm for coal, have only , recently begun to consider just how great may be the en vironmental problems associated with a major increase in coal output — and the costs involved in ameliorating damage to the environment in large-scale strip mining. t Today also, the scientists are beginning to find unexpected ’ problems associated with all other major roads to greater energy self-sufficiency — whether it be nuclear fission or fu sion, breeder or non breeder, geothermal, solar. All, including solar power, may create unwanted changes in the environ- • ment, the scientists now say. It now appears we may well run seriously short of energy worldwide before we solve the social-environmental and com mercial problems necessary to expand alternate sources, such « as coal, and to develop new sources, such as breeder reactors and solar energy, on a scale sufficiently large to meet our energy needs In the long run. the problems undoubtedly can be solved, , though at considerably higher cost than energy today . But the social, environmental, political and engineering adjustments, and the consequent delays, will mean that sometime in the in terim period — that is, in the next 30 to 40 years — there may be a most serious energy shortage worldwide. The only way to make ends meet, a growing number of scientists now say. will be through the rapid development and adoption of much more efficient means of using energy, and adjusting our needs so that we don’t increase our energy re quirements at the fast pace of the recent past. Yet just a year ago, a prominent government engineer was all but laughed off the platform by the chairman at a major scientific meeting for suggesting just this approach. The problem here, as in economics, is that the scientists too often live in a world of their own The politicans also. And the producers. And those working on environmental protection Each develops a program to protect or promote what their particular group believes in, independent of the others. The programs don’t mesh. The groups end up in conflict. The truth is, of course, we need in government, and in private society, more teams which include a variety of legitimate interests, teams that will work together to develop programs all of us can live with. .NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN I t Z l|| | jt 9 ft f | AWtW; J /Tr v-X fl • • © 19771* «* nc.TM Rm US Pat “Don’t underrate this Ralph Nader.
