Newspaper Page TextBerry's World © ,977 by NEA. Inc "It's simple! There aren't any people around the castle, because of the neutron bomb!" Will crying ward off a head cold? By L. M. BOYD A medical researcher thinks you can ward off an on coming head cold by crying. Emotional conflict is what triggers that cold, says this savant. Your nose expects tears. If you don’t cry, the nose becomes congested, waiting for tears. And sniffle, you’ve got a cold. Interesting, if true. I’ve always believed that emotions cause colds, asthma, arthritis, tuberculosis and cancer, but nobody has ever paid me a dime for the explanation, and the victims of the serious ailments don’t welcome a tactless layman’s whims, understandably. Was none other than Milton Berle who wanted to end the Vietnam war by putting it on ABC where it was bound to be canceled in 13 weeks. Were you aware that a Bufflehead duck can emerge in full flight from an underwater dive? HIDEOUT Q. “Whereabouts in the U. S. have the most criminals hidden out from the law?” A. Probably the Arizona strip. It's a 140-mile-by-80-mile stretch of wasteland north of the Colorado River to the Utah line. Red mesas. Mesquite. Spectacular mountains. Empty valleys. No paved roads. No phones. No electric lines. No piped water. Outlaws, draft dodgers, bootleggers, rustlers, some of the FBl’s most wanted, these by the hundreds have holed up in the strip. Every third shrimp pulled out of the water is eaten by an American. A third of all divorce suits filed in this country are dropped before they come to trial. CAR MECHANICS Car mechanics have at hand a book called the flat rate manual. Comes out annually and lists all standard repairs with the length of time they take to complete. If you gripe about your bill, the mechanic can whip out the manual and show the labor estimate, right there in black and white. Interesting. But an automotive expert tells me that any mechanic worth having around can do the job in half the time that’s printed in that manual. And most mechanics do it in half the time, too. L. M.

Page 4 —Griffin Daily News Saturday, July 16, 1977 Viewpoint Fairness to all The Griffin Daily News’ policy is to be fair to everyone. The editor’s opinions are confined to this page, and its columns are In the black What’s not supposed to happen happened this week when New York City was without electric power. Os equal importance to the front page story about the outage was the inside story about what caused the city of 10 million to be blackened. Something that was supposed to work failed causing a transformer to explode when it was hit by lightning. This caused an overload on the system and switches began to trip. It was not long before the city was in darkness. Criminal elements in the “Big Apple” took to the streets and began vandalizing and looting stores. Mayor Abraham Beame had to declare a state of emergency. Approximately 2,000 people ★ Camp meeting season Camp meeting at Pirkle Memorial Campground will kick off the camp meeting season in the area. Meeting begins Monday and continues through Sunday at Pirkle. Camp meeting will follow at Mt. Zion in Spalding County, Shingleroof in Henry County, Indian Springs in Butts County and Pine Mountain and The Gap in Pike and Upson Counties. ★ Serving justice The Spalding County Jury Selection a representative balance of the county’s Commission will meet Monday to begin population on each of the lists.

My Answer The second coming DEAR DR. GRAHAM: I know I am supposed to look forward to the second coming of Christ, but how can I honestly do that when some of the people I love most are not saved? Is it wrong to hope Christ will not come, and that they will have more time to repent?-Mrs. B. I. DEAR MRS. I.: It almost sounds like you are trying to keep God from making a mistake! Remember that the Bible tells God is also very concerned about your loved ones who do not know him, and “is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come Billy Graham open to every subscriber. Letters to the editor are published every Wednesday. Address letters to P.O. Box M, 30224. were arrested on looting charges. Mayor Beame has called for an in vestigation and Consolidated Edison of ficials have said they will conduct an autopsy of their system to determine what went wrong and why equipment did not work as it should. Thousands of workers were asked to stay home Thursday because the tran sportation systems were without power. This was another economic blow to the city and it already is having more than its share of financial woes. Measures should be developed to keep this city that has been operating in the red from going further in the red by being in the black. Camp meeting is a part of the religious heritage of America that continues to grow each year. It is a time of spiritual fellowship and revival. Spalding County is fortunate in having three campgrounds, Pirkle, Mt. Zion and Flint River Baptist Association. Each is used for a number of activities during the year, all for the spiritual uplift of the people who attend. to repentance” (II Peter 3:9). You can be sure that God can be trusted to send Christ back just at the proper time. Throughout the New Testament the second coming of Christ is presented as the blessed hope of the human race. Paul said that we are to “love his appearing” (II Timothy 4:8). The Bible even tells us that the whole creation groans and labors, looking for the second coming of Christ (Romans 8:22). The last book of the Bible ends with the prayer, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). What a wonderful thing it is to know that someday all the pain and sorrow and sin of this life will be eliminated! It is good that you are concerned about the salvation of your friends. However, I wonder if you are doing all that you can to tell them about Christ and seek to win them to Him. Fray for them and witness to them now, because we never know if we will have other opportunities. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (II Corinthians 6:2). ‘Jus’ gittin’ used to’ BY GERARD C. McLAURIN News Staff Executive The comment has often been made that man can adapt to almost any given set of circumstances. Scientists call it “man’s adaptation to his environment.” We laymen usually refer to it as “jus’ puttin’ up with or gittin used to.” When you stop and look around, it’s easy to see that we have been doing a great deal of “gittin’ used to especially in the last several decades. Man has progressed from very effectively kicking the posterior of his mule to frustratingly kicking the sidewalls of his modem gas guzzler. But broken down autos and the like are problems inherited from advances in modem technology that we force ourselves to adjust to as we encounter them. What about the ones we have adjusted to so well on a day-to-day basis that we hardly notice anymore? For example, one of the greatest tasks we face each day is controlled by a simple set of mechanical springs and gears. And it all springs into action before we even have begun our day. Buzz-z-z! or Ting-g-g! (they have a variety of sounds). At the sound of their alarm clocks, millions of Americans must force themselves from peaceful slumber into the restless world of consciousness in order to find the button which will give them the instant relief of silence. For hours across the nation, men, once free, are controlled by a small, inanimate, non-thinking object. We created it. Now it creates the beginning of our day. Having been irrevently sounded out of their beds, men sleepily stumble toward their bathrooms for a shower and a shave. There was a time when a healthy growth of hair about the face was the source of a man’s pride. Today, for some, now obscure, reason, a man’s face must be as smooth as his baby boy’s tush. So, as the mores of society have dictated, men spend perilous minutes risking their lives with fatally shar pened instruments cutting hairy stubbles from their faces. At the same time women are pulling bits of the stuff from their faces with tweezers and painting on concoctions of oil and pigment to cover their im perfections. Considering the troubles a woman goes through to get those lines in her face it seems she’d be proud of them. As they saunter from the bathroom, he clean shaven and she properly disguised, their day-to-day tribulations have only just begun. Take for instance this typical scene at home just before leaving for work. Dad, having turned on the tv set and picked up the morning paper, is seated with the paper in one hand and junior in the other. While trying to decide which shoe goes on junior’s left foot he sees that more war has broken out in the Middle East, according to the paper, and hears from the tv com mentator that garbage men are on strike at home. Confronted with the dilemma of war overseas and gar bage pilling up at home, pre-twentieth century man might have wound up putting the shoes on junior's ears bewildered by the news. But no. Not we modem men. We have been conditioned. Dad, the conditioned modem man able to deal with such problems, would more likely simply heave a “not again” sigh and proceed to shoe junior with proper shoes on proper feet. As the average day progresses those day-to-day problems pop up and are dealt with in a semi-concious manner with little diversion. Whether better to pay cash or use the charge plate; wait for the guy at the comer or try to beat him through the intersection; go ahead and fill the gas tank or try to make it home with what’s in the tank. As members of the most advanced society known in the history of man, we deal with more problems in a day than most of our forefathers dealt with in a month. There is little wonder we find it more and more difficult to relax. Yet we are living longer and are more healthy than ever before. Let’s face it, man is amazing—we’re amazing. As such amazing creatures we face a tomorrow full of possibilities never before dreamed. Speaking of tomorrow, what time should I get up? What should I wear? When was that appointment? Who was I supposed to ...
